About this property

A quaint, quintessentially California beach cottage, built by noted Cambria watercolor artist and printmaker, Jo Werts. Designed to take maximum advantage of light, it is replete with huge ocean view windows, and high, open-beam ceilings, giving it a light and airy feeling. Prepare meals in the well stocked kitchen and relax in the inviting living room area and enjoy the beautiful views.

It is simply but comfortably furnished. Sleeping area is an open loft with a King Size bed located on upper level of home, providing great ocean views. The loft is reached via a spiral stairway. Once there, step through the sliding door to access the spacious deck. Lots of local wildlife to enjoy as well....deer, so many types of birds and all the marine life down the street at the ocean.

Located on a hill overlooking Cambria's Marine Terrace, you are afforded spectacular ocean views from nearly every room in the house as well as a more private, protected deck and garden in the backyard area. Just a 5 minute walk to the ocean bluff hiking trails of the Fiscalini Ranch and the tidepools which can be easily accessed on Sherwood Drive at Harvey Street and Wedgewood. Come and enjoy all the peace and quietude Cambria has to offer including stunning sunsets as well as charming restaurants and shops in town which are only a 10 minute drive from the home.

Anniversary weekend

Loved how close it was to the Fiscalini Resrve for walking. Not walkable to town. Def. a smell in home; mildew-like. Had to air it out each time we came back. Screen door on upper deck does not lock. Kitchen well supplied. Liked TV upstairs and down.

Ideal Working/Writing Retreat

Exceeded my expectations. The design of the home is very unique - not captured by the photos. Lots of outside space (lawn and deck) and a working desk with a phenomenal view of the coast for inspiration. Believe them when they say the deer come right up to the house! The deer are everywhere in the neighborhood, especially during the day, so drive carefully. And the nearby Fiscalini Preserve is also beautiful and wonderful to have so close.

Wonderful views!

Loved our little cottage! It was so perfect in every way for the two of us. We sat in the gardens some of the time and up on the decks with awesome views most of the time. Driveway was an adventure every time!

We loved this place!

This is such a unique property. The original use as an art studio is reflected in the light filled spaces, great ocean views, and unique architecture. We really loved the space, and hope to return sometime. It’s squeaky clean, the manager was very responsive. The area is quiet, away from the busy tourist area, but convenient to all the areas you might want to go to. We hope to return sometime and stay longer. Thanks to the owners for sharing this fun space.

Lovely Spot!

Hubby and I stayed here for five nights. Short drive to Cambria villages and walking distance to ocean paths. Nice and bright property with pretty garden and ocean views. Very clean with a comfortable bed, super-fast Wi-Fi, as well as cable TV (not just Nerflix and Roku). The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Note that the property is multi-level. The spiral staircase was quaint, but a bit awkward for getting up and down between the bedroom and main level. The weather was nice, so we often used the more practical outdoor stairs to get up and down. Driveway was a bit steep and narrow, but we made it work. Overall, a lovely spot and nice property, we were sorry to leave.

This Place is Special!

The cottage is super comfy, spacious for two and the light streaming in through the huge widows in the afternoon/early evening is magical. We loved our stay here -- best part is the 10 minute walk to Fiscalini and the bluffs. So much wildlife every day! We were sorry to leave.

Comfortable, Artsy, Totally Relaxing Cambria Cottage with Ocean View!

Our second time staying in this one-bedroom hillside cottage was a wonderfully relaxing home base for many daily Cambria area outings. Everything was as advertised. The bedroom loft area provides expansive ocean views. The neighborhood teems with wildlife including numerous deer, rabbits, squirrels, and varieties of birds. We love the friendly interface of the quiet neighborhood with the surrounding nature preserves and beautiful natural environment. The property manager Deborah Berk is outstanding and responsive if ever needed. For the price, this cottage is a true gem!

Ocean View Retreat

A great launching pad for exploring Cambria and the region or retreat for watching the ocean and reading a book by the (gas) fire. The manager was great. The neighborhood is lovely. Access to trails is very convenient.

Elegance over ocean

There was always complete comfort and relaxation. The house was wonderfully appointed and equipped with everything we needed in the kitchen, or anywhere, including power strips as needed. Best of all, a clear view of the coast.

Lots of stairs!

We love this property but forgot there’s a narrow winding staircase to the bedroom. Plus no handicap bars in the bathroom. So as much as we love it, as we’re in our sixties, we won’t be back.

Thumbs up!

Wishing our 4 days had been a week! The home was perfect for two and we found it comfortable with everything we needed (even scotch tape). The furniture was great for relaxing and the bed was super comfortable! Views from both floors were beautiful. The upstairs deck was wonderful for afternoon sunshine and sunsets. We loved the location for walking and watching the waves. Thumbs up!!

An idyllic and romantic getaway

This was a wonderful property! Clean, well-appointed with beautiful ocean views and a very comfortable bed in the loft upstairs with windows looking out towards the ocean view. A short drive to Cambria and right next to a nature preserve that provided a wonderful place for our morning walks. The circular staircase is very solid and has rails to hold on to as you climb to the loft. There was a lovely sitting area for our lunches and plenty of deck locations with seating. The gas fireplace provides heating and is on a thermostat, so we were very comfy for the few times it was needed. Will definitely return!!

Fabulous getaway in Cambria

We loved our stay at this gem of a spot on the California coast! The two levels of living space gave us opportunities to work separately while enjoying the ocean views. Wonderful quirks like the interior spiral staircase while outside access to both levels allowed for getting our luggage up. The multiple decks with seating areas on different levels were great as well. Nice walks to the waterfront paths as well as easy access to town and the Sea Lions beach made this an excellent place to visit for a relaxing week.

A perfect getaway to destress

A most charming home that not only has an ocean view but the occasional visit of friendly deer. Quiet, peaceful, cozy, and most importantly safe. A few minutes walk from the beach and not far downtown Cambria, Hearst castle, or Morro Bay. Plan your visit here!
