A Cool House, A Cool View

Sit back on the deck and enjoy the beautiful views of Moonstone Beach. Only a short walk to the sand for morning meditation, or a sunset stroll. This is a great spot for those who would rather walk than drive on their vacation, conveniently located between Cambria's West Village and Moonstone Beach. Come into town for some local art, dining and shopping. Bring your dog along, Cambria is very dog-friendly, and yours will love sunning on the wraparound deck, the single level spaciousness, and other creature comforts. There is WiFi, DVD/CD player. Ocean Views from almost every room, new carpet, a new Crate and Barrel high-top table with 4 chairs, a Gas BBQ for the perfect BBQ, private and quiet. Appropriately named, this is a cool house, with a really cool view!! Single level, short walk to Moonstone Beach or West Village, spectacular ocean views, deck, washer / dryer, 55 inch TV over the fireplace in livingroom, Tv in the master bedroom, VCR, WiFi Internet, gas BBQ, wood burning fireplace and garage.

Space was exactly as shared. We loved hearing the ocean each night. It’s near a street that can be busy but this did not bother us. Neighbor across the street was warm and welcoming. Loved the garden and location was wonderful.

Vacation

Absolutely loved this house. The deck looking at the ocean and the open windows in the living room made it the perfect place to not want to leave. 5min walk to moonstone beach was everything that we were looking for. Will be looking to stay here again for sure.

Sound of the surf

We have stayed here before and love the comfort and accessibility of this home. It's not on the beach, but the sound of the surf is magical, especially at night. IT's clean, well kept, and a really nice neighborhood.

Just as pictured and described

Adorable house and neighborhood. Perfect for our quiet family. The highway noise wasn’t terrible, but had we wanted to spend more time on the deck, it might have been problematic.

Great deal in a cute beach community

Great stay. The plaçe was spacious and has all amenities like. Full kitchen washing machine etc. Location was great also. No regrets whatsoever. I would note that the tvs need work to connect to Internet but not very important.

Peaceful escape from LA

We were very happy with our stay this year in Cambria. The house was clean, the kitchen recently remodeled, the layout perfect, and the view and sound of the waves at night just so relaxing and restorative. We also loved the neighborhood and closeness to the east village. We will return soon.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Lovely place - great view, short walk to beach, clean and spacious, well-equipped kitchen. My only comment is that it was hard to figure out how to use the TV - maybe provide clearer instructions and troubleshoot the system.

Relaxing

Good comfortable house. Wish we knew ahead of time the house was steps away from HWY 1. The walk to the beach was longer than advertised. Needs more glassware. We did relax.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is clean things are in good working order. The kitchen is fairly well stocked. There is only one knife so be prepared for that if you plan on cooking. This house sits above HWY 1 and there is a lot of road noise all thru the day and night I would recommend earplugs. Overall we had. Great stay.

We will definitely be renting this house again! The photos accurately show the property. The house and garage were absolutely spotless. No joke...super clean. The sofas in the living room were very comfortable, as were the beds. The kitchen was well stocked and nice to work in.Great views, excellent location right near the main street. The neighborhood is really lovely and super quiet, we never even heard our neighbors. You do hear the cars driving by on Highway 1 right below the house, but that did not bother us at all. You can hear the ocean clearly, which was really lovely!It was perfect for my elderly mother and me and our Golden Retriever. The only thing we had trouble with was turning on the cable in the TV in the living room. We could watch the DVD's we brought, but could not understand the instructions on how to turn the cable on....but that could just be us! But not a big deal, as we really weren't there to watch the telly! The TV in the larger bedroom was easy to turn on.For any folks bringing your dog, it should be noted that the deck off the back of the house is gated and secure for a dog, but the bottom garden part of the property is open to the residential street. But not a problem as we didn't let our dog outside without being leashed. There is also a fantastic beach about 4 miles north at Pico Creek that we took our dog to every day and it was heaven!We will be back!
