The Rose Sisters

The inside was simple with cheap furniture and clean. Although there were dirty dishes in the dishwasher and under coffee pot hadn't been cleaned in awhile. The outside really is a eyesore. Brought my dogs which was nice but the back corner the fence is falling apart and I had to try to fix so they didn't get out. The garage curtain as you drive up very old and tacky. The Blinds in livrm were broke. The rest all over are ridiculous to work. Ali getting ahold of me 2 days into our stay thanking me for bring trash cans in. I felt like we were being watched every minute. Then again 3rd night already saying now remember to do this and that. It ruined my stay and stressed me out. LEAVE YOUR GUEST ALONE !!!!! I will never stay here again for the price it's a rip off.

Response from VrboOwner on 27 Oct, 2021
If you had such terrible problems during your stay, you should have told me about it so we could have fixed or addressed the problem. There are many photos online and if you did not like the decor or backyard, you should not have reserved the house. Also, stating you brought your dogs. This was not stated and I was not notified prior to your arrival. There is a Fee associated to bringing pets, my house rules state this. My listing also states I have a front doorbell camera. I use it as security for my home, if this makes you uncomfortable I suggest you not book houses with one. I do not feel sending a thank you or sending checkout instructions are overwhelming.

A Cambria Hideaway

We enjoyed this spacious newly renovated house in a great neighborhood with all the amenities of home. My Scotty dog loved having a fenced in yard to run around too. A great place for the entire family!

Adequate

We were not blown away, but we were comfortable. Front and back yards both need some TLC. The place was clean. We didn't like that we had to strip the beds and such. We felt the cleaning fee should have covered that.

Gem for folks with dogs

While the house doesn't look like much on the outside, it is clearly newly fixed up on the inside. Very nice decor and very clean and inviting. Beds were comfortable. Having a fenced in backyard was great to play with the pups in and they had some fun family games (large Jenga, corn hole). The actual location doesn't have that same "beach house get away" feel as it's more of a distance from the beach than we usually rent. But for the ability to bring our pups and the quality of the house inside we would definitely return!

Gorgeous Home with a Beachy Vibe!

My college roommates and I stayed at this beautiful home, which we all agreed was the best we've ever stayed at! The beds were all so comfortable, as well as the cozy couches in the living room. This freshly renovated home is so clean and well-stocked. As an HGTV addict, I felt as this home was on one of the shows I've seen with it's coastal feel and clean lines. The owner, Ali, was wonderful with communication and very prompt at getting back to us. We will definitely be staying again!!

About the host

Hosted by Ali H.

Host profile image
I am a nurse that loves to travel! My husband and I travel often and love soaking in local culture, museums and history. Along with seeking out great food and drinks, meeting people are the best part of new adventures!
We enjoy staying at vacation rentals while traveling because it offers a bit of that local charm. So when the opportunity arose to buy our home and become hosts, it felt very natural. Now we can provide the chance for others to experience this special place on the central coast!

Why they chose this property

The house may not have an Ocean view but it is nestled in the best part of Cambria. This quiet neighborhood gives you the feeling of living like a local. Take a stroll down to the Cambria Pines Lodge for a fireside drink or use their back stairs to take you directly into East Cambria. Bring your bikes and ride to the Fiscalini Ranch Preserve. This cozy home offers relaxation after a long day spent at the beach, wine tasting or shopping the boutique stores.

What makes this property unique

Our house is located across from Cambria Pines Lodge that hosts the annual Cambria Christmas Market. Forget having to find parking or catching a shuttle to the event, book with us and walk right across the street to enjoy the festivities! Visit the Christmas Market website for ticket and event details
