Easy close location to town with a partial ocean view of moonstone beach. The house is VERY DATED and in need of updates, repairs, maintenance, deep cleaning, and DE CLUTTERING. Filled with 1950 to 1970's JUNK like a garage sale. It is loaded inside and out with tons of cutesy clutter. The "Garden" is a joke, filled with a jungle of mismatched plants, uneven steps and cracked concrete, poor lighting, uninviting seating areas & a small dank mosquito pond.NOPE
With several inviting spaces to relax, you can choose the solarium with ocean view, or the garden with succulents and unique curios. Close enough to the beach to hear the surf. A very short walk to town and all that Cambria has to offer. We ate at Las Cambritas (Mexican), Luigi's Pizza (they don't skimp on their toppings), and got take out from Wild Ginger (described as Cal/Asian). We wine tasted at the Hearst Winery north of town on Highway 1--a bit pricey but worth it for the view of the San Simeon pier and bay. This is definitely our "go to" when we return to the Central Coast.
5th time staying here. Itâs a perfect little home. Dogs welcome and safe. People extraordinary. Itâs always just what I need to refresh and rejuvenate. Thank you Breen for a first class experience, always.
The house smelled of mold, even after several days of airing out. Many uneven trip hazards throughout the house , patios snd walkways. Iron stair rail is loose and wobbly. The second bedroom is located in dank dark basement area. Guest occupying this room bitten by bugs while sleeping. We left three days early as experience so unpleasant snd disappointing.
Difficult to get in from parking area. Steps and slanted. Steps inside very steep to washing machine. Steps were slipper from living room to bedroom. Dog walking on streets was challenging due to traffic. Toilet paper was difficult to retrieve, toilet seat loose. Iâm not nit picking, we rated this at the bottom of the rentals we have had, not only in Cambria but half dozen other towns. Sixth location in Cambria was very disappointing. They do have a good view from one corner of the living room.
Cambria is a wonderful time. The view from this property is amazing, there are places to hang out for all weather conditions- nice outdoor patio for when itâs sunny and warm, partially enclosed sun porch for when itâs sunny but cool, and fully enclosed sun porch for the windy or rainy weather. Easy walk to moonstone beach or town.
Very tidy, cute, comfortable house, perfect size for two people. Great ocean view. Easy walking distance to town of Cambria and the beach. Good dog-walking neighborhood!
A treat. Our 3rd time staying here, and will visit again! It is cozy, complete, and all ours for awhile. Thank you so much. A good time was had by all!
This property is comfortable, was very clean, and does have amazing views. There was an issue trying to find the location since you can't see the address from the road.
We drove up in the night, so waking up the next morning to the view was amazing. We spent a ton of time in the sunroom and it was very easy to walk into town for a bite or drink. It was a little stressful hustling across the PCH to get to the beach, but, it wasnât impossible and being so close to that boardwalk was lovely. We loved this spot and plan to return!
Cambria is great! It was our first visit and we enjoyed the entire area. Lots of places to walk/hike nearby between Moonstone boardwalk and Fiscalini Nature Reserve - plus Cayucos and Morro Bay are so close. Great restaurants - loved Robinâs particularly. Linnâa is a treat for lunch as well.
Because we were traveling with dogs, our selection of houses to rent was limiting. Itâs tough to beat this home given the price and location! Nothing really compares that allowed pets fit close to this price.
It does need a bit of an update and the grounds and outdoor areas have been neglected, but nothing that compromised our stay - and if those things were done, the rental price would understandably need to be increased.
All in all, weâd stay there again and certainly happily work with Breen Management. They were very communicative during the process - even allowing us the opportunity to change our dates to October when the flooding made travel difficult last spring.
The pictures on the listing made this place look gorgeous. It needs some serious updating. You could remove all the little tchotchkes. There were many different levels to go up and down, which was not in the listing the placement on the corner, made it difficult for getting in and out of the property, the garden and overall outdoors looked sad and on cared for there were lots of leaves and debris. It was not inviting the house itself on the upper level was comfortable enough downstairs felt like a dungeon, and it was as cold as a dungeon. In the upstairs shower, there was mold. This was most unappealing. The house itself was clean other than that, but just cold and uninviting.
Great place. The enclosed porch (sun room) was where we spent most of our indoor time. You get the view without wind. The listing was accurate and detailed. Be sure to read it all. Note that the pet rules are strict, there are lots of stairs, and the bedrooms are far separated.
Also, check the supplies. We had to buy toilet paper.
