About this property

A Dolphin Dreams by the Sea

No Pets Allowed. From the rooftop patio jacuzzi, you can watch the dolphins frolic, the whales migrate and the otters pounding rocks on their tummies. This spacious, well appointed 3 bedroom (k,q,2t), 2 1/2 bath home offers a wonderful vacation escape. The kitchen with granite counters and stainless appliances lends itself to preparing wonderful gourmet meals, or maybe a chef to come in and prepare and serve your meal in the dining room while you gather outside to watch the sunset. The house is within a block of the sand and tide pools and a short drive to town. Fall asleep to the sounds of the waves and the seals. A magnificent home. Waterfront Nearby (walking distance), patio and roof top spa, ocean views, tv, vcr, dvd, CD player, wireless Internet, gas fireplace, gas BBQ, washer / dryer, dishwasher. TOT#0000560

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home and amenities are beautiful. The location is very close to the coast with amazing views. Very well stocked and very clean. A small ant problem but it looks like steps are being taken to prevent it. I would definately stay here again, and do recommend it as it is very centrally located to Cambria and surrounding areas. There is lots to do very close to the home.

Perfect Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful location a block away from the Preserve. The kitchen was very well stocked with just about everything you need to cook a delicious meal. I appreciated the pantry with spices and oils too. The roof deck spa is an added bonus too! The beds were very comfortable with sounds of the ocean lulling us to sleep every night. Thanks for a lovely rental. We will be back!

Beautiful home and location

The home was perfect for our stay. The pictures of the ocean view do not do it justice. Beautiful in all rooms. It was comfortable, we felt right at home. Our interaction with management was prompt and professional.

Great place, great location to get away from the crowds and enjoy the ocean!

The house was great! Very clean. The rooftop deck was a nice feature and there are many places to get a good ocean view. All in all, a wonderful place to catch up with friends or family without the hassle and crowds from other beach communities.

Views, wildlife & walking trails

Very nice property with lovely views of the ocean from the rooftop & upper living area. Nearby walking trails & lots of wildlife to see. A bit remote but still relatively close to food & shops but phone reception was nil even with WiFi connection. Property was nicely maintained & comfortable, although slightly outdated. Enjoyed our stay here!

Excellent location! Very nice and well kept house

Such an excellent location yielding great views and very quiet. A block or two from the ocean and from the land preserve and hiking trails. You will see deer and other wildlife all day long. House is kept up very nicely and has everything you will need. Kudos for the owner and property manager. PS… the outdoor grill is gas, you will not need to bring charcoal or lighter fluid

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Scenic Coast was wonderful to work with. This home is in a perfect location, especially if you love walking on Fiscalini trails. It is on block from trail and a short walk to a rocky beach. The home was exceptional clean and kitchen stocked for those who like to cook. There is a nice patio off the kitchen with a gas grill. The spa on the roof top is sparkling clean and heated up nicely. I would have to say that was my favorite place in the house, the roof top with a beautiful views. We would definitely rent this home again.

My college girlfriends meet up every year and this year they chose Cambria, which is close to where I live. This house is very well appointed. Comfortable beds. Nice kitchen. Beautiful location! Deer hang out in the backyard and it’s just a short distance from the beach and hiking trails. My husband and I walk those trails frequently with our pups and it’s a very special place. On this weekend, the girls opted to spend most of our time shopping & dining downtown, which is about a ten minute drive. Note: check-in is also downtown so you have to go there first to get the house key. Adequate parking (2 car garage & 2 spots in driveway). Not a fancy house but very clean and nice. I really liked the kitchen - really nice fridge/freezer, and filtered water. They also encourage saving water & collect recycling , which are important to me. Nice that there are 3 bathrooms. We did wish some of the spaces were larger for hanging out - living room setup was tight - and both balconies only had two chairs. A nice table & chairs on the rooftop would be really nice! This is one of the nicest VRBO properties I’ve stayed at. I would stay here again. Use caution driving in the neighborhood. Lots of wildlife!

Beautiful property. Wish the hot tub had been working.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall great location and nice house. Only downside is that I was informed the hot tub wouldn't be functional as the heat pump broke and needed to be replaced. Luckily they informed me the day before it would be functional. Unfortunately it wasn't functional which was disappointing. I had asked if they would be willing to have the owner extend a discount (I realize there is no obligation to do so) but I didn't hear back from them before I checked out. I think that would have been a nice gesture as the hot tub was key selling point in renting this property.
