This is our 6th time staying in this home for thanksgiving and we absolutely love it. The house is comfortable, has a well stocked kitchen, and is in a great location. We absolutely love it and will be back again next year. I would highly recommend!
This was our second stay at Pura Vida. The home is spacious and comfortable. It provides everything that you need on vacation and more. The location of the house is great as well. You’re in walking distance of the beach and just a few minutes drive into town. we can’t wait to stay again.
This is the third time we've stayed in this home for the week of Thanksgiving and we love it every time. The home is comfortable, well stocked, and in a perfect location. We'll be back next year and always look forward to our visits to Cambria and this beautiful home!

Lovely vacation rental. Great location. The home was clean and well maintained. Nice coffee bar with everything you need.Effortless check in and check out.
This home was everything it says it is and more. Ample space, gorgeous interior/grounds, and awesome location. This is our third rental in This community and we cannot wait to go back and stay again. Very clean, has all the amenities a family could want and we were able to comfortably take our two frenchies with us. Highly recommend this property.
We have rented in Cambria many times before. We love this town and all of its charming restaurants and shops. If I could give this meticulously decorated and outstandingly designed home 10 stars, I would.

This home is awesome. I wish I could live there. We rented this home to be close to our friend who lives near and it did not disappoint. Coffee bar, deck, fireplace in the bedroom, deep soaking tub, and professional stove. I can't wait to book again.
We had a lovely stay, the house is very nice, interesting layout, tastefully decorated, located in a quiet neighborhood yet close to downtown. Very clean, very well stocked. We really appreciated the suggestion book and did quite a few things from the list. We really enjoyed our time there. A few tips: there is no cell service in the neighborhood, so make sure you enter your directions before leaving the house. Also no stores around sell vetruo espresso pods, so if you like espresso, bring your own pods.

Loved the accommodations.. Nice open floor plan with close proximity to the ocean. Very clean and comfortable. One suggestion: Upgrade the twin beds in the lower bedroom to double beds .. would provide a little more sleeping comfort for guests. We had an outstanding vacation & this home was a big reason why! Thank you!

We have stayed here many times, we love this house! All the wonderful light and windows everywhere. Great kitchen, comfortable beds and living space. All the choices of outdoor areas are attractive and welcoming. Such a quiet neighborhood, yet close enough to walk to the ranch. We walk to the ocean at Lampton cliffs park at least twice a day.We are already planning our next visit ❤️!
Wonderful stay! We love it here and come back every year. Highly recommend for a comfortable, family friendly place in a great location.

Absolutely love this house! We have returned many times, and will be back next year too! I still wish they had a few more screens on the windows, we had a yellow jacket fly in one day. I love the “bridge “ patio in front, great for watching the wandering deer. The wood floors are gorgeous and the backyard is perfect. The primary bed is probably ready for updating, but the view is amazing.

Love this rental! Beautifully maintained. Whoever did the decorating definitely has an eye for it! The house is immaculate and has everything you could possibly want in a vacation rental!
My lifelong best friend and I were looking for a location to meet up on the coast for a relaxing and pampering girls weekend. The pictures of the home online looked amazing and just what we needed for a girls weekend with a dog tagalong. But once we got there the reality was even better than the pictures! So many little details. Everything you could possibly need to cook. So clean and well kept. Even little touches for the dog. Was an amazing stay and would definitely come back!

This is a very nice and comfortable house. Family friendly, dog friendly, well appointed and stocked kitchen, clean and just a short walk to the ocean waves and Fiscalini Ranch Preserve.We spent four fun days here with our daughter and her family including their dog. The property management company was very responsive to some minor requests. As an overall comment for short term rentals. I would love to see a ‘bed comfort’ category to rate. I realize that type of bed is personal. The mattress in the main bedroom was softer than we prefer.

My husband and I returned to Cambria once again to visit friends and enjoy the clean air and sounds of the ocean. We were very impressed with the cleanliness of this home. We are not pet owners and don't often rent pet friendly properties. There was no trace of pet odor, and the furniture was free of fur. The owners have thoughtfully supplied full size bathroom amenities, a touch that we were surprised by and greatly appreciated. The kitchen has everything you might need for food preparation. The coffee bar was also generously stocked with Nespresso and teas. The neighborhood is lovely and quiet, and the Fiscalini Ranch is nearby. It was very hard to say farewell after our 7 night stay. We will be back.
This home is absolutely beautiful. It has everything you need and it is in a great location. The kitchen is stocked with seasoning, cooking oil, foil, etc. There is a coffee grinder (a must for me!) and lots of tea options in the home. The rooms are comfortable and there is a fenced in yard if you bring your dog. The upstairs living area gets lots of natural light during the day and is very comfortable. Our daughter especially liked the games. Connecting to the Wi-Fi was a must for us. We did not have cell service. We hope to stay here again. We had a great trip.

The front door wouldn't unlock so we came and went through the garage.The area under the couches haven't seen a vacuum / broom in a while. Some exterior windows and doors had spider webs.The exterior pet patio fence door latch is rusted shut wasn't able to lock the exterior fence door for security.Couldn't figure out how to start a fire in the bedroom fireplace.In the description of the home let it be known the main living space is on the second floor. Not a fan of stairs at our age.

We had such a relaxing vacation at Pura Vida! Everything you could possibly want or need and more. Loved the view from all the large windows. So quiet in the neighborhood, deer wandering by occasionally. We had some rain, so we enjoyed the fireplaces. The lovely backyard with native plants was so pleasant and safe. We will return again, this was our third visit!❤️

This is the best vacation rental we have ever stayed in . We have been renting vacation homes for 20 years. And this was the best. Very clean and I am Very picky! It was stocked with everything you need. Plenty of toilet paper and paper towels. The coffee bar was great. A whole drawer of teas. Very nice full size shampoo and condition and body wash. The shower was wonderful. Just wait till you try it. The back yard was fully fenced. We can not wait to come back again.
