We had a great stay at Malika's place! Her lovely home was peaceful and spacious for the 5 of us (mum, dad, 2 kids and grandpa) and we immediately felt at home. The beds were very comfy! My husband and I slept very well in the cozy second bedroom and our kids appreciated their own beds in the cute twin room. My father in law was very happy in the beautiful master suite with a view of the sea - it was a little too bright for me in there, as a couple of the windows lacked curtains. We especially loved the garden - there are so many different spaces on the decks to sit and relax and play games, read or chat! Cambria is such a cute, friendly place with gift shops, galleries, cafés and wine tasting places. Cambria West is just a minute's walk down the hill and Cambria East about a mile's level walk (or super quick drive) away. Moonstone Beach is very close by (you could walk, but we drove and had no problems parking). Our kids loved playing there and the sunsets are truly stunning - a must visit! Malika was a kind and discreet host. Although we never met in person, we kept in touch and she was very responsive and helpful to our queries. We loved our welcome wine! Although we only spent two nights here as part of our California adventure, it was a special time we'll remember forever, and I hope we get the chance to return someday!

We enjoyed our stay at Cambria Victorian Castle. Check in was easy and smooth. The entire house was sparklingly clean. It's beautifully decorated, we loved every piece of art work inside the house and in the yard. The kitchen had everything we needed. The bedrooms were perfect for us, a party of six. Everyone had a great rest. The outdoor space was huge and comfortable for lounging. We also loved the location of the house, in a walking distance to many nice restaurants on Main Street, and a short drive to Hearst Castle. Thank you so much for an unforgettable experience in Cambria. We would recommend it to family and friends.

Incredible house in perfect location!

This house was beautiful and clean. We loved the location to be able to walk downtown. I would highly recommend this house and this town to anyone on the west coast! My only issue was that the listing said there was laundry, but once looking closer, it was referring to off site laundry mat near by. I felt the way it was listed was misleading. There is not laundry available at the house.

Always a beautiful experience!

Staying at the Victorian Castle is always a pleasure. The decks are peaceful and have great forest views and occasional visits from local turkey and deer. The house itself is well appointed and cozy, and it’s a perfect location to walk into West Village. We wouldn’t stay anywhere else when visiting Cambria!

One of the best

This property is one of the best we have stayed at in over 20 years of using VRBO virtually every summer. The house itself is very comfortable, well appointed and full of a wide range of art and books. We really enjoyed the privacy that this property affords, as you the lot size is large and you have no immediate neighbors. Maximum advantage has been taken of the lot with extensive and lovely tree-shaded outdoor decks. This is a primo rental and good value.
