Everything about the Wine Down Cottage was perfect and as described! Can't recommend enough! The yard was a lovely place to relax, and it was secured for our dogs. The house was adorable, comfortable, and clean. The open layout of the kitchen, dining room, and living room was conducive for socializing. The hosts are excellent as well! Communication was a breeze.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay up at the Wine Down Cottage By the Sea! We loved the location with being close to town and the beach. The cottage was also great for our dogs with space for them to play and explore. I also enjoyed sitting out on the patio or around the fire pit in the afternoons (we didn't use the fire pit though!). All communication with Diane was easy, and she was also quick to respond to any questions we had. We are definitely planning on returning in the future!

Wine Down Cottage was the perfect place for a weekend getaway in Cambria. From the moment we walked into the cottage, we felt relaxed and at home. The cottage was clean and had beautiful touches throughout, and the fenced in backyard was perfect for our little dogs. The location was perfect---minutes to downtown, restaurants and the beach. It's walking distance to the Cambria Pines Lodge where you can walk for dinner, the spa or evening entertainment. Diane was easy to communicate with throughout and checked in to make sure we were enjoying our stay. This cottage is perfect for a couple or family getaway and we will definitely be coming back.
