Very clean, great location for our 3 day getaway. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking meals. The outdoor area was beautiful with a picnic table and fence for our mini schnauzer to run around and enjoy safely. Alex was very responsive to our needs and any questions we had. Highly recommend.

We had a very nice stay at this property. It was clean, comfortable and roomy with nice amenities. Entrance to the Fiscalini Preserve trails are about a block from the property and a walk to the ocean on the trails takes about 35 minutes. We would stay at this property again.

We had a great 9 day sunfilled stay ...a welcome reprieve from our Oregon rain.The apartment is in a great location,wonderful quiet neighborhood to walk our dog along with close acsess to town and the Fiscalini ranch.We had no need to contact the owner but knew from previous interactions he is readily available. We come yearly to Cambria and would definitely rent again if available.

I choose this getaway because it is close to Fiscalini Preserve, which I love for hiking and birding. Plus, this particular property accepts dogs and I don't go anywhere without my doggo. I cook all my meals and the kitchen was fairly week equipped. Quiet and peaceful.

Wonderful spot in a beautiful location!

This property is in a gorgeous neighborhood on the ocean and within two blocks you are able to wander the Fiscalini Ranch property, which is stunning! The VRBO is great! Has pretty much everything we needed with the exception of some kitchen tools, but overall, we were super happy with our stay!

Enjoyed our stay. Close to the shore and the town. Clean. A few too many beds/couches, could be more spacious with less. But all good.

Greay stay in Cambria

We absolutely love the place. It was clean, as advertised and very close to downtown. One thing that i never thought about was the unit being on the second floor but we managed. Thanks, Alex, for the wonderful stay.

We enjoyed hiking on the trails close to the house. The proximity to Cambria and Hwy 1, and all the coastal sites made it easy to explore. Nice to come back to a relaxing atmosphere after exploring.
