Very clean, great location for our 3 day getaway. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking meals. The outdoor area was beautiful with a picnic table and fence for our mini schnauzer to run around and enjoy safely. Alex was very responsive to our needs and any questions we had. Highly recommend.

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.

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.
