My family and I stayed here for five days and absolutely loved it! The house was very clean and very well-maintained. Having two bedrooms plus the loft made it easy to keep the kids (9 and 11) from fighting, although they both fought about the loft! The beach is a short walk along the side of the adjacent condo unit (between the house and beach), and the beach was always practically deserted despite it being the height of tourist season. The surf was higher than we expected, which tested our kids boogie-board skills and made for some great fun. The house has everything you need, including stuff if you bring a dog (extra water/food bowls, pet towels, etc). Having a washer/dryer on site was HUGE, and the patio looked out over the ocean and was lovely any time of day. Wireless and the DVD player were great for all of us - I can't image renting a place without wireless nowadays, and theirs was fast enough for all four of us. The house is close to Hearst Castle/State Beach (less than 5 minutes drive), and just a few minutes from Cambria, which is a lovely village with some very nice restaurants and shops. We would definitely come here again - hopefully for more than a week next time.
