Relaxing in Cambria

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: We loved the house and the ocean views especially in the evenings. We had an issue with the furniture configuration and believe the living area should be reconfigured to accentuate the view. Also, the sofa and chair are a bit uncomfortable. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Ampersand House

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately 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 love staying at the Ampersand home. It’s nicely furnished with artful touches, walkable to hiking and town, nice deck and large windows with view of canyon, trees, and ocean in distance. Lots of light.Deck could use maintenance with new cushions but not a significant detraction.

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.

Wonderful stay

We loved everything about this property, from contact-less check in to all the details in the house to the easy check out. The only caveat at all is the very steep, short driveway; no issues, but my wife let me park the cars, haha.

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? The world may never know…..

Charming, great view!

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.

Fabulous Quiet-cation 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 home was the absolute setting for a peaceful, restorative week by the sea. Tucked up in the trees with just a short walk down to a rugged rocky cove, it felt private, serene, and grounding from the moment we arrived. I spent the week here with my dog on no schedule at all, and it proved to be the ultimate writer’s retreat.The house is thoughtfully equipped with everything you could possibly need. I appreciated the umbrellas to shield from the sun during daytime walks, cozy blankets to curl up under when the coastal air cooled down in the evenings, and top-notch kitchen appliances in the bright, open-plan space. Natural light pours in through skylights throughout the entire home—one of my favorite moments of the trip was drifting off to sleep in the bedroom while looking right up at the stars.I was delighted to discover a closet packed with puzzles. While I started on a couple, I found myself spending hours just lounging in the leather armchair with my feet propped on the ottoman, gazing out the expansive living room windows, listening to the birds, and breathing in the ocean air. One afternoon, we ventured a few miles up the coast to explore a dog-friendly beach scattered with driftwood and smooth, colorful stones, then headed straight back to recharge in comfort.Not a single detail was missing. It was genuinely a magical, quiet escape, and I would return in a heartbeat.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

Perfect!

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!
