About this property

Amazing Ampersand on Parkhill-Spring Special

-Spring Special 3/1 thru 5/21
Open the front door to discover the surprise of an art-filled retreat — cozy, airy and visually stunning. Perched on the flank of Cambria’s Park Hill, this light-filled refuge is close enough to the ocean that you can see and hear the distant waves crashing on Moonstone Beach. You are just up from Shamel Park, a few blocks from the expansive trails of Fiscalini Ranch and a 15-minute walk from the shops and restaurants of West Village. This home is ideal for a romantic weekend for two, a solo writing retreat, or a fun getaway for family and friends. The open-plan house is surrounded by green space on all sides, making it a quiet refuge with views of the ocean, pine trees, and coastal hills through the many windows. You can also see a huge expanse of stars through oversized skylights. The large deck is perfect for morning tea, afternoon reading or sunset viewing after a day of wine tasting in nearby Paso Robles or a tour of Hearst Castle in San Simeon. Each of the two small bedrooms has a queen bed and bathroom/shower. Two comfy air mattresses with linens are also available. The house is equipped with a well-stocked kitchen, a nice upright piano, WiFi, Smart Tv, many books and a stereo. This property is pet-friendly. Steep Driveway. Enter driveway on the far left side of-which is not very steep - and either park in front of outdoor table or angle into carport. TOT#6004416

Ampersand House

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: We love staying at the Ampersand home. It’s nicely furnished with artful touches, walkable to hiking and town, nice deck and large windows with view of canyon, trees, and ocean in distance. Lots of light.Deck could use maintenance with new cushions but not a significant detraction.

Great location with view of ocean! Lots of neat artwork, great choice of reading materials, games, puzzles. There was a glitch in communication-we didn’t receive an email with instructions, but was resolved with a phone call. We really enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful stay

We loved everything about this property, from contact-less check in to all the details in the house to the easy check out. The only caveat at all is the very steep, short driveway; no issues, but my wife let me park the cars, haha.

Why would anyone stay in a motel for the same money when you can have a cozy, art-filled home, with beautiful views, silence, peace and comfort? The world may never know…..

Charming, great view!

Lovely and very clean. Well stocked kitchen and nice beds. The view makes this place perfect and the butterflies, wild turkeys and daily visits by a young buck in the yard puts this place over the top. Would return for sure.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was a little gem. It was a perfect location and very quiet which made it a great getaway from the noise of Los Angeles. Patio cushions could use an update. It was perfect for an artist to sit and paint the lovely garden. Would definitely come back again.

Perfect!

This lovely home was absolutely wonderful for my husband and I and our two dogs! It was very comfortably and the location was great . Easy walk or drive to the beach/ocean and the view from the windows and balcony of the ocean was delightful. A very pleasant surprise was waking up in the middle of the night to see the stars! It was breathtaking. I would highly recommend this property and we can not wait to return!

Our 2nd visit and just as good as last time

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: We love this well-equipped and well-located home. It met our needs with the same minor issues as before. Driveway is really tough for cars with low ground clearance; prohibited street parking doesn’t provide any options. CD player was glitchy like last time, and there is a lack of storage space for luggage. None of these are issues that would keep us from coming back, just a heads up for potential guests to consider when making plans.

The beautiful views of the ocean, the closeness to everything in Cambria, the gorgeous art decor the owner chose, all the extras in the house, everything was just perfect! We can't wait to go back.

Peaceful Retreat

We found Ampersand to be a peaceful getaway for us. The weather was spectacular, the scenery beautiful, the house was comfortable and met our needs. We saw deer and turkeys on a daily basis as we enjoyed long walks. Being close to town was an added bonus. We would definitely come back! Our only complaint was there was a lot of construction noise as many neighbors were having work done on their houses. Also, we would recommend some nice blankets to use on the deck. Thanks for the opportunity to enjoy this home in Cambria!

Review

Place was clean, in a good location close to the ocean. Kitchen looked recently renovated. I could have done without all the wooden masks on the walls as decor. The deck was large and appeared to have a great view.I cannot comment much more, as I didn't sleep there and only spent about 2 hours there total, although I reserved for 5 nights. I had an emergency and returned home the same night as I arrived…. bummer.
