Open the front door to discover the surprise of an art-filled retreat — cozy, airy and visually stunning. Perched on the flank of Cambria’s Park Hill, this light-filled refuge is close enough to the ocean that you can see and hear the distant waves crashing on Moonstone Beach. You are just up from Shamel Park, a few blocks from the expansive trails of Fiscalini Ranch and a 15-minute walk from the shops and restaurants of West Village. This home is ideal for a romantic weekend for two, a solo writing retreat, or a fun getaway for family and friends. The open-plan house is surrounded by green space on all sides, making it a quiet refuge with views of the ocean, pine trees, and coastal hills through the many windows. You can also see a huge expanse of stars through oversized skylights. The large deck is perfect for morning tea, afternoon reading or sunset viewing after a day of wine tasting in nearby Paso Robles or a tour of Hearst Castle in San Simeon. Each of the two small bedrooms has a queen bed and bathroom/shower. Two comfy air mattresses with linens are also available. The house is equipped with a well-stocked kitchen, a nice upright piano, WiFi, Smart Tv, many books and a stereo. This property is pet-friendly. Steep Driveway. Enter driveway on the far left side of-which is not very steep - and either park in front of outdoor table or angle into carport. TOT#6004416

We love this well-equipped and well-located home. It met our needs with the same minor issues as before. Driveway is really tough for cars with low ground clearance; prohibited street parking doesn’t provide any options. CD player was glitchy like last time, and there is a lack of storage space for luggage. None of these are issues that would keep us from coming back, just a heads up for potential guests to consider when making plans.

Great location with view of ocean! Lots of neat artwork, great choice of reading materials, games, puzzles. There was a glitch in communication-we didn’t receive an email with instructions, but was resolved with a phone call. We really enjoyed our stay.

The house was a little gem. It was a perfect location and very quiet which made it a great getaway from the noise of Los Angeles. Patio cushions could use an update. It was perfect for an artist to sit and paint the lovely garden. Would definitely come back again.

This was our 4th time staying here- always a pleasure. Clean, quiet, great for nature watching, and close to all the activities and places in & around town we love to visit.

Place was clean, in a good location close to the ocean. Kitchen looked recently renovated. I could have done without all the wooden masks on the walls as decor. The deck was large and appeared to have a great view.I cannot comment much more, as I didn't sleep there and only spent about 2 hours there total, although I reserved for 5 nights. I had an emergency and returned home the same night as I arrived…. bummer.

We fell in love with Ampersand the moment we arrived. The view of the ocean as soon as we entered was amazing and we knew this was a great house. We came from Christmas Market, which is an experience of its own. The house came with great accommodations. Baths are updated and the heater works very quickly. Kitchen comes with all the small appliances you need. The house decor is very eclectic with many different pieces of art and cozy furniture. The only downfall is that the mattress in the master is smaller than the bed frame and we hit our shins on the bed frame each time we got in bed. But we loved our stay and plan to return soon.

We found Ampersand to be a peaceful getaway for us. The weather was spectacular, the scenery beautiful, the house was comfortable and met our needs. We saw deer and turkeys on a daily basis as we enjoyed long walks. Being close to town was an added bonus. We would definitely come back! Our only complaint was there was a lot of construction noise as many neighbors were having work done on their houses. Also, we would recommend some nice blankets to use on the deck. Thanks for the opportunity to enjoy this home in Cambria!

Why would anyone stay in a motel for the same money when you can have a cozy, art-filled home, with beautiful views, silence, peace and comfort?

Lovely and very clean. Well stocked kitchen and nice beds. The view makes this place perfect and the butterflies, wild turkeys and daily visits by a young buck in the yard puts this place over the top. Would return for sure.

Great place to perch for a short stay as we toured through the area visiting Hearst Castle. Only thing missing was a hair dryer…….

The location and ocean view from the deck were stunning😎 The sky at night was beautiful! Lots of birds and wildlife.
The beds were okay, kitchen well equipped! Our only comments would be way two many personal items left on the property including a piano.
We would recommend limiting the personal items and situating the living room taking in the view with a nice flat screen tv.
Still a great stsy😎

The property was very clean, but even though we had seen the pictures we did not realize how cluttered it was until we actually got there. Knick knacks and pictures everywhere. It felt like we were staying in a clean hoarder’s house. The queen mattress on the king bed frame left us both with a few shin bruises when getting in bed. We can say the kitchen was well stocked and, again, the house was clean. But way too claustrophobic for us.

This lovely home was absolutely wonderful for my husband and I and our two dogs! It was very comfortably and the location was great . Easy walk or drive to the beach/ocean and the view from the windows and balcony of the ocean was delightful. A very pleasant surprise was waking up in the middle of the night to see the stars! It was breathtaking. I would highly recommend this property and we can not wait to return!

This is a very tasteful and arty little cottage with a great view down to the coast. Nice sun deck and shade seating out by front door. Nice, clean, and wonderful art throughout. Definitely would stay again.

Enjoyed our stay thoroughly. Terrific location within walking distance of trails and near Main Street and the coast. Small and comfortable with views of the ocean, and relatively private. We liked the folk art throughout the house. We'd like to stay here again, perhaps longer next time.

We stayed in this property for our son’s college graduation and found it the perfect size for 3 people. It will sleep four but there isn’t much storage room for luggage. As others mentioned, the driveway was steep but navigable. TV is outdated with no streaming options but there were plenty of CD’s and a small selection of DVDs. We will definitely stay here again!

The rental home provided a good place to relax Good views and deck was great to enjoy the view. Bad things were the very steep driveway which was difficult to both walk and drive down. There was too much of the owner’s stuff left leaving little room for cases etc. Also tv and disc player did not work for us. But a pleasant stay.

My husband and I stayed at Ampersand 1 week with our 2 small dogs. It was almost perfect for us. Close to the beach, nice view and privacy. No direct neighbors so it felt very private (which was great because there are a lot of windows & skylights). Nicely equipped, comfy beds and bed linens, tons of books and CD's, interesting artwork & decor (I'm gonna call it higher end hippy). The only negatives for me; 1) no yard (hillside lot) but it does have a nice deck, 2) no tub, but the primary bedroom has a very spacious shower. We did attempt to BBQ, but the Weber wouldn't get hot enough - needs a good cleaning. I didn't realize this home is only 898 square feet - you would never know it. Very well laid out. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back.

We had a wonderful time walking down to Moonstone Beach and gathering beautiful moonstones! Walks on Fiscalini ranch were great fun! The view of the ocean was lovely. My only complaint was the furniture in living room should be arranged so you could enjoy the views!The neighbors were friendly and the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. We would definitely stay again.

Great rental experience. Scenic Coast very professional and easy to work with. I have rented this house a couple of times from Scenic Coast. It is a charming home perfect for a couple. New owner has decorated the home very artistically. Love the changes, done very nicely. Comfortable and great location in great neighborhood.

We loved our stay in Cambria! The house was perfect for our family and was clean, quiet and comfortable -- well-furnished and stocked with amenities. The artistic decor from around the world was inspiring! It was a great location walking distance to the beach, boardwalk and town. The oceanview deck is among the treetops so bird watching was amazing, as was star gazing on clear nights. It worked very well for our needs. Easy contactless check-in/check-out process.

We have stayed in many rental houses in Cambria over the years and Ampersand is our favorite. It is in a quiet neighborhood with a great deck and lovely views of the mountains and ocean. The kitchen is well-stocked, the house is very nicely furnished, beds are supremely comfortable - everything is just exactly right!

This was our second stay at Ampersand and we love this house. However, the bed in the second bedroom is absolutely unusable. It's very uncomfortable and creeks loudly every time you roll over. Time for a new mattress.
