We had a very nice stay at this property. It was clean, comfortable and roomy with nice amenities. Entrance to the Fiscalini Preserve trails are about a block from the property and a walk to the ocean on the trails takes about 35 minutes. We would stay at this property again.

We had a great 9 day sunfilled stay ...a welcome reprieve from our Oregon rain.The apartment is in a great location,wonderful quiet neighborhood to walk our dog along with close acsess to town and the Fiscalini ranch.We had no need to contact the owner but knew from previous interactions he is readily available. We come yearly to Cambria and would definitely rent again if available.

I choose this getaway because it is close to Fiscalini Preserve, which I love for hiking and birding. Plus, this particular property accepts dogs and I don't go anywhere without my doggo. I cook all my meals and the kitchen was fairly week equipped. Quiet and peaceful.

Enjoyed our stay. Close to the shore and the town. Clean. A few too many beds/couches, could be more spacious with less. But all good.

Wonderful spot in a beautiful location!

This property is in a gorgeous neighborhood on the ocean and within two blocks you are able to wander the Fiscalini Ranch property, which is stunning! The VRBO is great! Has pretty much everything we needed with the exception of some kitchen tools, but overall, we were super happy with our stay!

Greay stay in Cambria

We absolutely love the place. It was clean, as advertised and very close to downtown. One thing that i never thought about was the unit being on the second floor but we managed. Thanks, Alex, for the wonderful stay.

We will try to stay here again. Very convenient to town and the beach. The property has beautiful gardens to enjoy with birds galore to view off the balcony. A plus is the stacked w/d with economy settings. It’s a challenge for those of us who live in a state that doesn’t care about recycling to know exactly what to do with our trash. A sign/s with instructions would be helpful. But we understand it’s another worry for the host. This is a most quiet neighborhood and we wish we could be permanent tenants

Relaxing

We enjoyed hiking on the trails close to the house. The proximity to Cambria and Hwy 1, and all the coastal sites made it easy to explore. Nice to come back to a relaxing atmosphere after exploring.

This property was spacious and very clean. It had everything we needed, for example: coffee, wine bottle opener, washer & dryer. We were surprised to see the bathroom was so spacious that it even had a double sink. The host communicated everything really well. Enjoyed our stay!
