Cambria

"This was our first rental in Cambria. Our expectations included - a clean well appointed rental home, located in a quiet neighborhood, with walking trails nearby. The "Artist's Cottage" not only "met" our expectations - it exceeded them. The house was located in a quiet neighborhood, which was frequented by does, fawns, and bucks. Walking trails were in close proximity to the house - the ocean was 4 blocks away and the Fiscalini Ranch Preserve was 8 blocks. The house was clean, comfortable, tastefully decorated and had a "180-degree" of the ocean via the tall windows on the west side of the house. The living room was located on the ground floor and it contained 2 comfortable couches, a gas stove, 2 rocking chairs, a flat screen TV/DVD and a half bath. The kitchen and dining area - accessed by a 5-step staircase - were "open" to the living room. (I had "planned" on cooking all of our meals at the house but I was apprehensive as to whether the kitchen would contain everything I needed for "cooking from scratch".) I needn't have worried. The kitchen rivaled my kitchen at home - containing everything from "measuring spoons to service for 10". The bedroom was located on the second floor, which was accessed via a spiral staircase. (A word of caution to persons over 6'2". Take care when "ascending" the spiral staircase - my husband struck his left shoulder on the wooden beams a few times. This is not a huge issue, but one worth mentioning.) The king sized bed was one of the most comfortable beds we had ever slept on. The bedroom was large and included a couch, dresser, large flat screen TV/DVD, desk and attached bathroom. The bathroom was clean, spacious and included plenty of fluffy towels, bar soap and liquid soap. We highly recommend the "Artist's Cottage". It was a pleasure to work with Debbie Berk. She booked our reservation and answered all our questions in a timely manner. Thank you Debbie. Craig and Cheryl"
