Guest Count & Pricing Policy

Our rates are based on the total number of guests reserved, not just the number of nights stayed. Once a reservation is confirmed, the calendar is blocked for that specific group size and prevents us from accepting other bookings that may require higher occupancy.

No refunds are provided for no-shows, late arrivals, early departures, or reductions in guest count after booking, including for holiday or peak-demand dates.

Any disturbance to anyone in the house or broken house rule(s) will result in cancelled reservation and removal from the premises with no refunds. Applicable fees will apply. Thankfully, we have never had to enforce this rule. :-)
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Beautiful location

We came into town for our wedding. We enjoyed the home. It's easy to find and convient to shops and the beach. The beds are comfortable and sheets are super soft. The owner was very accommodating to our large party.

Great house close to shopping

Very comfortable house, super easy check in and great communication from the management. Previous reviews mentioned the house wasn’t stocked well but the management must have corrected that for we had everything we needed and would happily stay in this house again.

Coast vacation

The Ca coast is a beautiful place to vacation in the summer. Cambria has plenty of restaurants and an adequate market. While comfortable and clean I’d recommend this property for shorter not longer visits since there’s no washer and drier and the kitchen is just adequate.

Clean and near to Hearst Castle and Cambria

Our family of four stayed comfortably here for our weekend getaway. It was clean. It was stocked with everything we needed to cook some meals. It was short trip to Hearst Castle. And about 15 min from downtown Cambria. It was so cool to be near some nice diverse hiking trails. We would definitely stay again.

Cozy in Cambria

Christy is a very accommodating host. We had sudden changes in our visit that was not under our control. Christy was able to help my family by letting us prolong our stay We are so grateful for Christy’s kindness and empathy. We would definitely stay there again.

sea and Sunshine

The house was easy to find and convenient to the freeway, Cambria, and the ocean. The living room was comfortable and met all our needs. Everyone enjoyed their bedrooms, but the master bed is spectacular. The contact was prompt to respond to our questions. We found out we didn’t have access to the washer/dryer or the fourth bedroom unless we asked for it in advance. Also, the swimming pool is the community pool and you have to get in the car to get there. We would love to go back, now that we know that we have to ask for these things in advance.

Convenient location

We arrived to 2 deer right behind the backyard fence! The house location was not reveled until we made our final payment…. Probably because it backs up against hwy 1- but it was not too noisy, but would have liked to have known. House is just a few minutes from moonstone beach, downtown Cambria, and about 20 minutes from Morro Bay and Cayucos. Beds were comfortable, and house is pet friendly. If you are planning on staying more than 5 days just know there is not access to a washer/dryer available, so you have to use the laundromat in town. Also the rate is for 2 people, and an additional charge per extra guest per day for no more than 7 total guests will be added to your total as well as a pet fee- so it adds up on the itemized bill.

Needs some TLC

Not what I expected…several light bulbs were burnt out, experience slow draining bathroom sinks and tub/shower. Mini blinds and window shades needs to be replaced. Suggest bringing own paper goods; provided paper towels and toilet paper were thin and scratchy. Beds were comfortable. Suggest caution when using their seasoning. Opened a packet of crushed red peppers…found a larva moving on our pizza. Overall, property was clean but needs some TLC. We wouldn’t stay there again.

Great place to stay to explore the Central Coast

This house was very clean, the furniture was in excellent shape, the kitchen was well-equipped, and the beds were the most comfortable beds we've stayed in. The property manager was very responsive to any issues that came up and worked to resolve them quickly. The only exception to the house being well-equipped is that there are no laundry facilities here. However, there is a laundromat very close by, though, in Cambria. This is a great house for a family who is looking for a home base to explore the Central Coast. It's located right next to Highway 1, so you can hop right on the road to explore other communities in addition to being able to see all that Cambria offers. You will hear some occasional highway noise from the house, but it didn't interfere with sleeping. If you're looking to work remotely (as we did), plan on working on the dining room table. or bring a lap desk for one of the bedrooms. The view of the ocean in the listing photos is just a short drive (5 min) from the house. There are several beautiful places to see the ocean and a great beach at Moonstone beach, and all of these are very close.

Dispendieux

Cambria est une jolie petite localité prêt de la mer et au sud de Big Sur. Toutefois, cette maison est prête de la route principale et bruyante. Pour le prix, nous avons été surpris se constater que beaucoup d’items de bases étant manquant (mouchoirs, liquide à vaisselle, serviette à vaisselle, etc). Un avis précédent mentionnait ceci mais nous n’avions pas remarqué. Bien que ceci a été communiqué à la propriétaire dès le départ, aucune correction n’a été apporté. Par ailleurs, certains items sont disponible en quantité restreinte (ex.: papier de toilette). La propreté était passable. Beaucoup de poiles de chien sur les divans et sous les lits. Finalement, l’affiche mentionnait l’accès à une piscine. Aucune piscine n’est présente sur la propriété et aucune instruction concernant une piscine commune quelconque. Donc dans son ensemble, ce n’est pas un mauvais endroit, mais trop dispendieux pour la qualité et l’emplacement de la location.
