Perfect cousins weekend
We were delighted with the property and could have happily stayed at the house and just enjoyed the garden, the views and the cozy parlor. It was the perfect setting for hot cocoa after our trip to the Cambria Christmas market. We took advantage of the location and enjoyed several walks on the beach.

Birthday celebration
Everything was wonderful. We enjoyed walks along the broadwalk and hiking trails on the ranch. Enjoyed sunsets from the deck and in the kitchen around the island. Lots of great food in town. Weather was good, some fog, but it blew out later in the morning. Loved reading the history of the house and the moving of it.

Fun times with friends in Cambria.
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 invited a few friends to join us at the cottage and they loved it just as much as we always have. We enjoyed eating in the kitchen around the large wooden island, in the dinning room at the beautiful table and on the patio enjoying the lovely garden backyard and cool breezes. It is lovely to just walk 1 block and be able to stroll along the coast boardwalk, looking out at the beautiful ocean and rock formations. So close to up town where we explored some fun shops and wonderful restaurants. We took a short hike on the Fiscalini Ranch Preserve and had fun showing our friends the quaint town of Harmony. We always enjoy the sunsets and even experienced a Full Super Blue Moon from the upper balcony.

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 our 6th time at the cottage. We love the location with its easy walk to the beach, the deck, kitchen and living room, we spent hours sitting in the kitchen talking. The garden was lovely as well!The downstairs bath tub/shower wais tough for the seniors in our group and the stairs were steep for my 91 year old mother but overall, we love it.

Good and not so good
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location, quiet, comfortable beds, plenty of storage, nice deck, big kitchen, close to town, BUT...there are improvements needed....downstairs bathroom sink does not have hot water, upstairs showered should be replaced instead of needing to operate it by reading a 3 step instruction list, TV operating instructions are incorrect and not clear, furniture in dining room is bulky and makes it hard for people to get around for access.I have been visiting this property for almost ten years and have noticed a significant decline in overall condition as if someone forgot to take care of such a special unique home. Needs some TLC for sure, maybe start by painting the exterior. Lastly, the customer service from rental agency is unfriendly and unavailable. Doesn't really match the friendly vibe from the town and merchants who welcome visitors. Hope my review helps!

Victorian Lightkeepers House
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: This was our second stay at this unique Victorian home.It is a cozy and well-located home with lovely landscaping and an old world charm. The kitchen is well stocked for meal prep and is a pleasant place to sit and enjoy the ocean view.As has been mentioned by a couple of other reviewers, the stairs to the upstairs bedroom may not be appropriate for someone with balance/mobility issues...as they seem to be original to the home and are not easy to navigate.We have had an issue with ants in the kitchen/dining room (and upstairs bathroom) during both our visits...even though our food items were securely contained.Also, be aware it will take several hours for the home to warm up after the heat is initially turned on...after which time, the home will remain comfortable as long as the heat is not turned off again for any length of time.Upon checkout, we passed along these issues to Property Management.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house takes you back in time. Even though the owners have decorated the house with antiques, the beds are modern and comfortable. The top level has windows to open so you can enjoy the sight and sounds of the beach. Close to town and a block from the beach, this is the perfect location for a home away from home.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: We enjoyed our 5 night stay at this lovely house very much. Aside from an issue with the thermostat (which was fixed promptly by the handyman), we had a very comfortable stay.The historic details of the house and its proximity to Moonstone Beach were wonderful. The high ceilings and large windows gave the home a very airy feel. The shower and bathtub in the upstairs bathroom were much more modern and convenient than the downstairs bathing option. I mention this because some may find using the stairs to be a bit of a challenge.We would definitely try to stay in this charming home again.

Darling cottage by the sea!
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 our 5th time at the Light Keeper’s Cottage and it was just as wonderful as the previous times! We loved the new living room furniture. Our favorite places are around the island in the kitchen, around the dining room table or out on the deck. Of course the proximity to the ocean is amazing. The sights and sounds are fantastic and it’s a quick walk down to the boardwalk. The sunsets are gorgeous! The cottage is always very clean and nicely stocked. The only tricky part is the downstairs bathroom. The tub is difficult, although very cute, and there is no counter space. Going upstairs is tough for some people. But we make do because the rest of it is fabulous! We enjoyed a nice tea party to celebrate my mom’s 90th birthday! All the dishes fit right in! Can’t wait until next time!
