"Leopold Cove" is a beautiful Oceanfront Home located on the Central Coast of California. It has fabulous ocean views and access to the water from a private stairway. The living area has large plate glass windows that feature 180 degree views of the Pacific Ocean. A comfortable platform style bed & a warm, cozy fireplace are also located in the living area so you can relax for hours, or even days, enjoying the beauty that surrounds you. There is a full kitchen & a separate bedroom with 2 twin beds. The property also has a picnic area & places to sit, perhaps with a good book & a glass of wine while you watch the sunset. If you are a nature lover, you will enjoy the otters, seals & birdlife that we are privileged to have so close to us. During the gray whale migration times, this is a perfect spot to view these magnificent creatures.
You will have access to many Central Coast attractions from Cambria. Cambria itself is a charming village that features galleries, shops, a playhouse, local music and a variety of dining options, as well as a beautiful environment. Big Sur and Hearst Castle are to the north and the Wine vineyards are to the East. There is a city airport and train station in San Luis Obispo.I hope you will visit soon.

This was truly a wonderful respite. The little house by the sea is magical. Every aspect of our stay here was perfect. Andrea & Tony, Long Beach Ca.
We couldn't have asked for a more amazing house to vacation in. It was wonderful falling asleep to the sound of the ocean--we cant't wait to come back. Kris & Brian
This was our first visit but certainly not the last. Leopold Cove is an architectual delight with hidden treasures in every room.We celebrated our 36th wedding anniversay here--this was the perfect place to reflect on our past & plan our future. Dennis & JoAnn, Ventura CA.
Another relaxing stay at Leopold Cove--we spent our 30th, 31st & now our 32nd anniversary here, just the way we like--enjoying the fireplace, watching movies, playing Scrabble, reading & gazing at the ocean. Andy & Debbie, Bakersfield CA.
Our first vist to this wonderful, magical place. We celebrated our 19th wedding anniversary here with a raging, glorious storm as the back drop. It is so peaceful here--counting the days until we can return. Chris & Michael, Oxnard CA.
This home is a piece of art, from the etchings on the beams to the wonderful tub/shower, the redwood chairs & table--it all adds to the ambience. We loved the beachcombing, walking the bluff trail to the North & watching all the wildlife.Leopold Cove is a beautiful spot to unwind from busy lives & recharge the spirit. John and Bonnie, Glendora CA.

The perfect place to relax

Spent five nights at Leopold Cove in October and loved every minute of it. The house is quirky, very well-equipped, spotlessly clean, extremely comfortable, and best of all, the location is magical. If you love the ocean this place cannot fail to disappoint. Even the bathtub has a seaview. Set in a residential neighbourhood the only sounds to be heard are the ocean and the sealife, both of which simply could not be any closer. It was the perfect place to relax and far exceeded my expectations. The shops and restaurants of Cambria are only a short drive (or brisk walk) away. I loved exploring all the little galleries. Despite it being a long way from home I feel sure I'll be back again one day. In fact I can't wait.

I have just returned home after a long weekend at Leopold Cove. The house was perfect in every way. The house is pretty small & the hallway is narrow, so for more than 2 people it would be very cozy. And definitely not wheelchair amenable even though it's basically one level with a sunken living room - especially since the bath/shower requires a climb up a few steps. Sitting on the back bench by the fireplace was just like being out on the patio, without the chilly breeze. The listing & photos are entirely accurate - lots of choices of where to sit outside, on the back patio by the waves, or in the front enclosed courtyard.. The owner was helpful & I would definitely recommend this as a spot for a getaway. An easy walk to the Fiskalini Ranch Preserve walking trails, and an easy drive into town on Burton Drive to the shops & restaurants. If you want a massage, check out Therapy By the Sea downtown for a real treat.

Wow! My Wife, two of her Sister's and I spent 5 day's experiencing the wonderful sight's, sound's and smells of, in our opinion, an overwhelming home and ocean location. The architectural design of the home and the, on the ocean, location was an experience anyone, who loves the ocean, need's to share. I can't, in these comments, get across what the experience truly was. You have to be there and experience it yourself.

This being our first trip to the west coast, we selected this house for it's location on the ocean. We couldn't have been happier with the home, it's central location to attractions in the area and the peacefulness we were looking for. Having the fortune of seeing both humpback whales and orcas from the deck during our stay made our time there complete. Beautiful house, beautiful views, a highly recommended experience!

I meant to do a review once we were back from our trip and here it is almost a year later and I'm finally getting to it. My daughter stayed here for a week and had a wonderful time. The house itself is most unique..Leopold built very individual houses. Fun walking around and identifying some of his others. Loved the patio, great place for afternoon wine and relaxing. The windows in the living room give you the best view you could ask for anywhere. Very clean, well appointed and ready for guests. The washing machine was a little confusing, but once we got it everything worked fine. Great walking in the neighborhood and around the point. This was a trip to spend time with my daughter who has little time of her own with 3 children from 3 to 17. She is one busy mom. She was able to sleep late, enjoy lazy days and beautiful evenings. The restaurants in Cambria are terrific, especially Robyns and the Sow's Ear ( I think that's right). Nice shops to wander through. Watching the sea otters was a favorite pastime or at least trying to find the little critters. We enjoyed San Simeon and the elephant seals up the coast. Drove up the coast toward Carmel one day and had fabulous views and a great lunch on the coast. Couldn't have had a better place to relax and unwind. I would recommend Leopold's Cove to anyone!

We went up there for a relaxing weekend last November and were not dissapointed. We look forward to returning around the same time this year. Some of our big plans will be...to lounge around looking for wildlife, sip wine on the patio, and just enjoy nature at its very best. In a home that is unique in more ways than I can say. Had a great time. In a fantastic home. In a fantastic setting.
