(Previous Guest Comments about the Wine Down Cottage by the Sea)


“This home has been upgraded and maintained in the manner I would maintain my own home. It was immaculately appointed.”

“Very classy place! We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.”

“The jacuzzi was awesome for warming up after an afternoon of tide pooling. We will definitely stay here again.”

“The house is scrupulously clean, furnished with comfortable and whimsical decor, and stocked with every conceivable convenience. We've rented many vacation homes with vrbo but have never enjoyed one more than this one.”

“We loved this home and it was perfect for our trip. The house was really comfortable for four people; we especially enjoyed cooking dinner in the immaculate kitchen. And our dog loved chasing after a tennis ball in the large side-yard!”

Amazing amenities (kitchen, games, sitting areas with fire pits and a hot tub!) plus the host is wonderful. This was our 2nd time staying here and we all wish to return to this well appointed home that is close to many beautiful places such as Fiscalini preserve, moonstone beach as well as the Cambria pines lodge across the way where we enjoyed taking in the holiday light display!

This is a lovely, updated cottage conveniently located just minutes from downtown Cambria and the ocean. It has a large, well-equipped kitchen and sits on a beautiful, double-sized lot with plenty of outdoor seating. The host, Diane, was friendly and attentive. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!

Lovely home that's perfect for dogs with a huge fenced in yard. House was adorable and updated with a secluded jacuzzi & sitting area right off the Master Bedroom. Property owner was attentive & responded quickly to questions. It's a very short walk to the Fireside Lounge for drinks, food, & live music with your pups. Also just a short drive to shopping & the beach. We had a great time staying here & would book again.

We had a lovely and relaxing stay at the Wine Down Cottage. The property is beautiful and in a great central location. The house was very clean and had everything for a comfortable stay. The kitchen is stocked with all amenities needed should you choose to cook. Cambria had a few warm days so the A/C was so nice. And the Jacuzzi in the private back yard was great when it cooled down in the evening. The Cambria Pines Lodge is a few steps away across the street so we enjoyed a couple of happy hours and dinner one evening. They also do a Pizza Night on Friday evenings with live music. Diane was a great hostess and her communication was top notch! We will definitely be back to stay here in the future! Thank you!

A great house in Cambria!

We loved our stay at the Wine Down Cottage in Cambria!Great house with a nice big yard for the kids to play in. A hot tub for evening relaxation. A very short drive, or longer walk down the hill into town, and a very lovely home perfect for our family of four. The hosts were also very helpful leading up to and during our stay, very responsive to any questions we had. We look forward to going back!

The host was super attentive and helpful. The house was cozy, comfortable and had everything a family of 4 needed to enjoy our stay. The cute little town with shops and restaurants was super close and we enjoyed everything Cambria had to offer including the gem of a find in the Covell Clydesdale ranch hidden just above town. Being a mom and used to all my gadgets and tools at home, I was very impressed with how thoughtful the host was with all that was available in the kitchen. Everything was also in good working order. Loved the beautiful touches of decor that made the house feel like a home. We absolutely loved the hot tub and fire pits too. It was great to have a relaxing soak after a long day of exploring, and safely enjoy the stars out at night. We will definitely come back to visit again!

About the host

Hosted by Diane Amezcua

Host profile image
I have always been in love with Cambria. It was always our get away retreat to enjoy the quiet peaceful town. We decided to buy in 2013. We still love Cambria very much and plan to retire here soon.

Why they chose this property

We completely renovated this 1967 ranch style home to accommodate what we feel most vacationers would want when they are on vacation. We also love to provide an excellent service for our quest. We would come to Cambria often and because we loved coming here frequently, we decided the next best thing was to own a piece of property here.

What makes this property unique

We are centrally located in the heart of Cambria. We are a few houses away from the Cambria Pines Lodge which host many events like Happy Hour, Wine Tours, and delicious restaurant and a huge breakfast style buffet.
