Secluded, romantic, and relaxing Cambria guest cottage nestled in the Monterey pines of the esteemed Leimert Estates. This guest house sits on a hill above Moonstone Beach just east of Highway 1, which is just a 1-2 minute drive away. The property is privately surrounded by coast live oak and monterey pines, and yet nearby you will find yourself on the boardwalk of moonstone beach, and combing the sand for shells and moonstones.
Wood floors and cozy cabin like Interior will offer all the comforts of home. Large screen TV sits above the mantel over a cozy fireplace, surrounded by leather sleeper sofas. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you will need to cook your favorite meals. The kitchen is equipped with gas range and full stainless steel refrigerator along with granite countertops. There is a covered patio off the back along with a gas grill for you to enjoy the tranquil wildlife that pass by (deer and wild turkey) while listening to the distant waves of the ocean. The comfortable king-size memory foam bed along with premium linens will offer a restful night's sleep.
You will find this property to be the best deal in Cambria because of its beauty, and amazing location. This wonderful guest house is close to the beach and close to the quaint and idyllic downtown of Cambria as well as Hearst Castle and yet offers privacy and seclusion for a romantic and relaxing getaway.

This cottage is beautifully adorned with granite countertops, tile showers, and new furnishings. It’s off of the beach a little bit, but you can hear the waves in the morning. The cottage is nestled in amongst acres of trees. The first morning while we were having coffee, we saw nine deer walk right by us eating acorns. The property has a private gate to enter, and acres and acres to explore. It was really relaxing, not to have neighbors like when you stay in a hotel.

Wonderful stay as always!

We were thrilled to stay at Karl’s cottage and had an amazing time as always! We were able to see deer and turkeys throughout each day and enjoy the tire and tree swings on the property with our kids, and the upstairs is perfect for running and playing when it’s too windy, rainy, or cold. The house is perfectly located near Moonstone Beach, the playground, Fiscalini Ranch, and the town. We look forward to visiting again!

Loved this cozy cottage. It was nestled among beautiful trees. We were visited in the morning by mama dear and her babies. They came around most mornings. In the evening the turkeys came by. It was close to shopping, golf and wineries. Moonstone beach is beautiful and very close. I would recommend to my best friends.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful VRBO in an even more beautiful setting. It's quiet, pleasant, relaxing, so close to the beach and town, we really enjoyed our stay! The ONLY issue we had was what is listed isn't fully accurate. We actually chose this place after originally having reserved another site, because it advertised KING beds in both rooms which would work perfect for two couples. Unfortunately, when we arrived, we found out the upstairs, which is very roomy and large, only has a queen bed. There is also no bathtub in bathroom 2 as advertised. Also, no soap or shampoos are provided.Otherwise, this was a lovely place and we'd highly recommend it.

Couple of things to note:- No frills, not even a soap to shower and the one handwash inside was expired years ago. Some basics are important for this price.- Grill was a mess and uncleaned. Had bugs all over and showed there is no real deep cleaning. This was pretty sad.- Communication with manager was weak as we didnt get response for a long time and it was not helpful.- Maybe i missed it in description, but the upper and lower floor are not connected.

Peaceful stay - really enjoyed the separate floors personally to provide added privacy and quiet. The upstairs is very large and can sleep plenty if need be. The location was wonderful - right off Highway 1, but quiet and peaceful property. Only 12 minutes from Hearst Castle and 5 to downtown Cambria and coastal boardwalk. Directions and check-in/out instructions were clear. Really enjoyed our peaceful stay here. Only note of advice - don't rely on anything being provided. The property didn't provide soap or shampoo, so make sure you bring 100% of what you need.
