About this property

Bristol By the Sea: 3 BR, 3 BA House in Cambria, Sleeps 8

No Pets Allowed. Welcome to Cambria, where the Ranchland Pines meet the 'Mediterranean blue' water. This lovely home is at the heart of that description, as the interior style is almost Tuscan, with lots of wrought iron, granite & tile. A spacious living and dining area, and a thoughtful kitchen layout, make meal preparation a family affair. This home will sleep up to 8 people, so it's perfect for Holiday gatherings. The 4th of July is especially fun here, because from the deck of this home, you can watch the fireworks display at Shamel Park, right next door. Just a few steps to the sea to comb Moonstone Beach, and the tide pools. Let the sound of the waves lull you to sleep. An unforgettable sanctuary, where you'll want to return year after year to this beautiful beachside home. Exterior security cameras cover front door and driveway. TOT#0001097

Terrific place near the beach in Cambria

We stayed here with 3 couples, and there was plenty of space for everyone. Very nice layout, plenty of parking, and a short walk to the beach. We really enjoyed our stay!

My only complaint was that the fan over the bed in the master bedroom did not work. I tried swapping the 9 volt battery from the fan remote in the living room (which worked just fine) with the battery in the master bedroom remote and it still did not work. It would be nice to have a working fan in that room. It could have been nice to have a screen door on the sliding glass door from the master suite to the deck. We loved the location and the house! Great place for our annual girls trip. Oh, almost forgot. There was a sensor light from the house next door that came on off and on all night on the second night and shown in to the basement, where one guest was sleeping on the couch. She ended up moving up to the very top level couch.

The location and amenities at the house were excellent and the space was just right for our large family! There were a few odd things like the large oven was out of order so you had to light the range in order to cook on the stove (though we were able to use the small oven so that was fine) and one bathroom’s door on the main floor was very awkward to get into the bathroom—perhaps the hinge should just be changed so the door swings outward instead? The views and the deck were lovely. And, otherwise, it was a very nice stay.

Beautiful home and location. Rooms were very comfortable. My family has vacationed in cambria every summer for the last 15 years. Our family keeps growing along with the house size. This home was spacious, clean and we will definitely be back next year. The only negative would be the dining room chairs, they’re falling apart. Oh, and maybe a larger t.v.

Lovely home in great location

This house was perfect for a weekend with our friends! The kitchen had most of what we needed. The dining room was large and had a beautiful view. The living room was comfortable and also had beautiful views. (I wish they had cleaned the windows, though.) We watched the sunset with a glass of wine!

90th birthday party and vacation

Loved the house, where it was and everything about it. So close to Mom on moonstone Beach Drive. A little disappointed, the fireplace didn’t work in the main living room where you do spend a lot of time. the kids loved the fireplace downstairs and was nice and the fireplace in the bedroom was nice. Also, it was a little disappointing that the Jacuzzi tub didn’t work but all in all it was a great stay. !!

Grape stomp

The house is great, the one bedroom and bath on main floor was much smaller than the pictures showed. However over all very nice house (there were a lot of spider webs on outside staircase and by front door).

Wedding anniversary get away

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We live just down south about 30-40 mins away, and this was a perfect little get away for us. We brought our four children with us and the house was perfect. Everyone could spread out and enjoy their time and it was a quick walk down to the beach to collect some drift wood. The house was clean and in great shape!! Thank you Val and Kimberley for setting us up in the perfect house for our family. Definitely will be going back!!

Could be better

Beautiful home but kitchen not well stocked. If you want to cook, bring your own foil, cling wrap, condiments, etc. No coffee. Nice laundry facilities but no detergent or softener. We had to run to the store for items that all other vrbo’s we have stayed at provide. Queen beds were small. Unfortunate really as the home is beautiful.

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 is a very nice house in a great location. The set up bed-wise was not like in the description, but actually better: 3 rooms with queen/king beds, and then hold outs in the loft and (large) den (rather than one room having 2 beds). Was missing a few basic kitchen amenities that in non-covid times might not matter but otherwise well stocked. Would be nice if basics like shampoo and salt/pepper were provided but not a big issue. It poured rain while we were there and the roof leaked a bit (put a pan to catch drops) but not a big problem either. I would love to return — only downside is price

We stayed for 6 days in August 2026. Lovely house. Very spacious. Very clean. Easy check-in and check-out. We enjoyed our stay. Two bedrooms upstairs/main floor. One private bedroom/bath and second living area downstairs. Would be perfect for 2 families. Very nice garage parking. Close to Moonstone Beach and Cambria town. Nice walks on beach and nature preserve. Overall would recommend highly. Improvement we would have appreciated- screens on windows and doors/sliders- since there's no AC we needed to open the windows and doors to keep cool in August. Things to know: Very noisy garbage collection on Weds morning!! Street is busy for such a small community. No cell service for us at house- we used wi-fi calling instead. We would stay again!!
