Location was phenomenal! Quick easy walk to quiet beach and hike along the cliffs! Lovely fireplace and deck! Our only minor "complaints" were the loft bed was hard as a rock and unusable, and the kitchen needs more light, a decent can opener, a new sponge upon arrival and more plates (only 5 and 4 of us). Minor inconveniences that did not take much away from our experience, just suggestions for management. We'd love to return!
This was the perfect spot, so close to the beach and a quick trip over to Cambria if we wanted a change of scenery! I was also lucky enough to get engaged here so it was extra special! Thank you for sharing your home with us, and we can’t wait to come back!

Our first time in this rental and it was great. Very clean, well furnished and comfortable. It was nice to have access to the convenient washer/dryer combo, the views out the back door were great, it was private and there were several nearby places for lunch/dinner besides the ones down the road in Cambria. We've always had friendly, professional service from Scenic Coast Propety Management.
Wonderful location. Peaceful with beautiful views of the ocean. We had the whole beach to ourselves. A quick drive to Cambria for great restaurants. Plenty of room to relax in the house. House was clean and well appointed with amenities.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Property was welcoming to pets. Had a very nice ocean view. Upon check-in to rental found property had a strong pet smell. We encountered several ticks inside the home during our visit. Plus, the television would not turn on. Overall, we were happy with our stay. Some improvements that could be made to help with issues mentioned above, install hardwood floors to eliminate pet odors and tick issue.

Sorry for your experience. If you let us know of any problems when you are here we can remedy them right away. The housekeeper reported the TV not working after your stay and we bought a new one. Thanks, SCPM
The property is a great location, spectacular views and wildlife! Homey and cozy. The host provided good information and the accommodation was well stocked, teas, laundry detergent, etc. I highly recommend this property!

House was exactly as described and pictured. We had a GREAT time!
Spacious half of a duplex just up from the beach. Walkable to some restaurants and a quick drive to state parks and beaches, Cambria, elephant seals, and more.
My spouse and I spent a couple nights here 15+ years ago for a getaway wine tasting trip (before having children) . We returned for 3-nights with our teenagers for a relaxing few days to wander along the beaches, hike, visit the elephant seals, and meander through Cambria's shops. It was once again a wonderful getaway.
Our family had such a wonderful time! This cute townhouse/condo was perfect for our family of four, plus one 4-legged family member. Easy access to a beautiful beach, incredible ocean view, comfortable beds, and well appointed kitchen. Can’t wait to go back. Thank you for opening your home to us!
Very quaint well equipped place. Nice cozy fireplace with instant on switch. Nice walk down the coast and good restaurant within walking distance as well... nice neighbor too...!!!

This is a great rental and a great location. Just steps away for the ocean that allows dogs off leash. Great view of the ocean and beautiful views of the sunset.
This is the 4th time that we have stayed at this property, spread over several years. Location is perfect, whether we want to walk the few steps to the beach, drive into Paso Robles for wine tasting, or visit Cambria just down the road. It's not fancy, but it is well maintained and very nice. Love that we can bring the dog, and they even provide separate dog towels and their is a small hose on the side of the house for post-beach dog activities.

Reviewer Comments:
The home and it’s location was a perfect getaway! It was very peaceful and relaxing. It will be our first choice for future getaway spots.
The condo is in a very nice location. It is attached to a second condo, but that was not a problem at all. This was the 2nd property in from the beach. Part of the view is obstructed by a two-story rental, but there is plenty of open space to see the ocean. The bedrooms are spacious and very comfortable. The kitchen had all of the basics we needed. My only slight complaint is that the management company does not reply to my message via the VRBO app. However, if you call, they do answer. My adult son and I had a very relaxing time there. We were glad to be able to bring our dog with us as well.

The crashing waves put you to sleep at night and the view is spectacular. The place is spotless clean and has everything you need to feel at home and cook an amazing meal. Hiking trails just out the door and an almost private beach for two legged and four legged friends. We are so lucky to spend time at the perfect vacation rental.
Nice view from back deck to ocean with access to beach and open space. Good location for going to Cambria and day trips. Not much as far as restaurants and shops tight there but I didn't mind. Cambria farmers market was great if you’re there in summer. Duplex was quiet and clean. No streaming on tv just basic cable via dish though wifi worked well. I would have appreciated less worn pots and pans since I like to cook. Well worn. Beautiful area.

We had an excellent experience at this property. It was exactly as depicted and promised. We thought we had a small problem because the sports channel was not offered in the cable package. I called the management office and within an hour the sports channel was added an available for me to watch the golf channel and Laker game. It’s our favorite place to stay.
