The house is comfortable, nicely layed out, with awesome views of the ocean from most every room. We really enjoyed sitting out on the deck. The location is great, in a quirt neighborhood, near the trails and close to downtown Cambria. Enjoyed our time in this house immensely; we will try to reserve "Whale Watchers" again next Summer.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home is so well-kept and beautifully appointed and decorated. The view is gorgeous. Only slight disadvantage is the lack of parking (the garage is small and the driveway is short; don't bring a large vehicle if you can help it; there is roadside parking about 3 house lengths away). Having the bedrooms all downstairs allows family "vacation mess" to be contained and the main floor and loft to feel company ready and serene with three different conversation or get-away areas all with a spectacular ocean view! Thank you to our wonderful "host-ghosts"! Your TLC was noticed.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have rented a LOT of different homes in Cambria over the last 25 years, but this is one we would return to over and over again. The decor is light and tasteful and the house was super clean and easy to keep clean. The views are truly breathtaking, and feel almost 360. We love that the television is in an adorable loft, keeping the living free for cozy nights by the fire. VERY well appointed kitchen. My husband and I both got so much work done here, and our 8-year-old loved it, too. Only notes: to walk to/from Fiscalini trailheads will mean quite a bit of uphill on the way back to the house (we loved it, fyi for any mobility issues), there is limited parking, and the dishwasher is not cabinet-installed, so a bit clunky (but totally works). Shout-out to the primary shower, including the ocean views!

Well the property was amazingly roomy for 6 people, very clean and well kept. The ocean view was fantastic.

We loved this house based on its location and view of the ocean. The kitchen especially is generously supplied with high end cooking equipment in addition to generous supplies provided - towels, blankets, fans, pillows, paper goods and condiments including crushed ice and coffee.The home is decorated beautifully with whale/ocean theme decor.

We found the property clean and well stocked for our needs. The house is very comfortable with a beautiful view. How ever the garage was too small for our ford F150 and it barely fit length wise in the driveway. It would have been helpful to know that it was more suited for a smaller vehicle. when the garage door quit working the management addressed it in a timely manner. Overall, we would recommend this property.

Definitely the best equipped house ever! Beautiful views, comfortable beds, everything you might need. We would definitely stay here again.

The house was as described - great views, well stocked kitchen, and lots of room in the main part of the house. For those that want to know, the main bedroom has a king bed, the other two rooms have full/double beds. I wish they would have put that in the description. There was no way to reach out to the management company within the VRBO App before booking which is a negative, but other than that, the house was clean, the location great, the views spectacular! I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was the best home we could have chosen for our CA vacation! Four adults (and a few days 6) fit wonderfully into this beautiful home. The place was immaculate and extremely well stocked, as many other reviewers have mentioned. The views from the decks are very impressive. It was all we could do not to just sit out there all the time. We visited in mid-September and the weather was perfect. I did alot of research and comparison before choosing this home and it paid off very well. We've already decided to come back to the area again, and specifically to this home. One couple was visiting from St. Louis, MO and the other from Los Angeles area. The proximity to not only the sites along the coast but also the wineries in Paso Robles can't be beat. Nothing was more than an hour drive. Thank you for offering this beautiful home for rent!!

Quiet, bright, clean - great house for families

Quiet, bright, clean - great house for families

The views from the dining table/living room were incredible, and you can even hear the ocean. Comfortable furnishings and mattresses. Spacious master bedroom, the other two bedrooms were a little small, but fine for kids or couples who don’t need a large bed. Kids enjoyed the loft area/TV room. Rained while we were visiting so didn’t get a chance to utilize the veranda but there’s a nice outdoor seating area and table for 4 out on the deck. Garage is a bit of a tight fit for 2 vehicles and there is no parking on the street. Quiet neighborhood with access to a small rocky beach about 4-5 blocks away. They had a cabinet of games which we appreciated. Kitchen had everything we needed. The house was very clean and we had a wonderful stay. Enjoyed visiting Morro Bay, Moonstone Beach and the Brown Butter Cookie Company and Lunas coffee in Cayucos.

The knocks are, the forced air heating can be loud and the controls on the oven are confusing.

We loved this house so much!!!! It is such a perfect place to unwind and appreciate the beauty of Cambria and the Pacific Ocean. The kitchen was such a pleasure; everything we could have needed and more! The furniture was comfortable, especially the patio furniture. Every bedroom was cozy and comfortable and the bathrooms were so clean and lovely. The bedding, the fluffy towels and the snuggly blankets were just like home. We all loved the fireplace too. The decor was beautiful and very much appreciated. Every detail was thought of to create a perfect experience. This house will be our go-to getaway for future visits. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous home with us. We look forward to our next visit. 🐳☀️

This property captures the best of Cambria. Beautiful ocean views from every room & multiple decks. Comfortable & private neighborhood. We were so close to attractions : the Cambria Pines Lodge Christmas Market, Hearst Winery, Piedras Blancas to see the elephant seals, and the Paso Robles Wineries. The kitchen was so well stocked with everything to prep, cook & serve. Lots of games & puzzles, multiple sitting & viewing areas. We loved it all!

We loved the house so much that we didn’t want to leave. The views from the house and the deck are breathtaking! The best neighborhood in Cambria. The house is less than 5 min walk to the beautiful Fiscalini Ranch Preserve and beach. We are already planning on coming back.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have rented many houses in Cambria and this is one of the most beautiful places I’ve visited. The views are breathtaking. Watching the sunset from the deck did not disappoint. The home is comfortable and very well stocked. We did have to be careful not to get locked out- the front automatically locks and could not be unlocked, even with a key. Be sure to have the garage door opener with you ;)

Locks aside, we enjoyed our stay and will return!

The location, accommodations, and view were stunning. It was well stocked with everything a house needs and more. We brought the family and the food and the location did the rest. We were able to escape the stress of the times and enjoy being together, watching the ocean, walking the paths, and just relaxing. We highly recommend this house to anyone who is looking for a retreat.
