We had a wonderful stay for Christmas! The house was clean. The beds including Murphy bed are comfortable and there is a large wonderful couch that fit all of us for hanging out Christmas morning and playing games in the evening. Deer loved the lawn next us and a great blue heron visited on the other side. The rocky beach is beautiful and less than a 5 minute walk. We would definitely stay here again!
Close to beach and Fiscalini Ranch Preserve. Spacious. Stove is traditional style gas burner with plenty of cooking space. Stocked with sugar, coffee, and key spices. Local mule deer camp out in open yard, grazing on forbs. Nice cleaning staff, very helpful.
Great space, new bedroom furniture, coffee maker as well as keurig, living room/TV area large and comfortable. Walk to beach is close ( down the street and make a left, it required us to ask residents how to get to beach. The listing shows that it sleeps 7, but you should be aware that they charge $25/person/night for any people over 2. The only other issue was that you can’t control the heater/ac and it was a bit cold in the morning.
We would definitely stay again.
Light and spacious home located close to the ocean
The main floor of this home has an abundance of windows . The location is quiet. It was a great home base for exploring the area. The beds are comfortable. The kitchen is up to date with lots of equipment for cooking and dining.. The two full baths and half bath were very convenient.
So comfortable and clean. Kitchen is well stocked with supplies and highly organized. The master bed has a pillow top (I think) that provided for a restful sleep. Nice patio area to sit and read or eat. My husband also enjoyed their very large TV! Not only would we be willing to stay here again but we would shift dates around just so we could stay here again.
This was an ideal property for four seniors to stay in while attending a lawn bowl tournament in Cambria.
Plenty of parking, very clean home and lots of room to spread out in.
We were greeted by two young deer and a gaggle of wild turkeys - loved the natural surroundings and so close to the ocean.
Second time working with Christy and she is easy to communicate with. Will definitely stay there again.
We celebrated my mother’s 80th birthday this Memorial Day weekend in Cambria. Rented this lovely home and 3 others nearby for our extended family. This property is as advertised. Great location and very comfortable. Check-in/check-out was smooth and Christy was responsive to any questions we had. You will enjoy your stay here too!
This was a good house for a sleepy weekend in Cambria. The kitchen was well-stocked, there were plenty of towels, the water pressure was great, and the beds were very comfy. It's also in a great part of town, very quiet, easy to walk to the beach, and tons of deer. There were ants throughout the house, though the owners left traps and spray - just keep in mind and I wouldn't set any of your luggage on the floor. Also, there is no access to the laundry so don't plan to wash anything while you're there. Overall it was great for what my group was looking for for the weekend.

Didn't feel like a vacation - don't remt
Not a vacation, rules were ridiculous. In addition to loading dishwasher had to do all dishes, had to handwash pots, pans, etc that didn't fit in dishwasher. Had to put out the garbage cans from the back of the yard all the way to the front ( we are ate not here to take care of your duties), false advertising about 2 full beds ( only one- the teens were pissed one had to share a bed, they left an inflable bed in the closet, it had holes in it and deflated through the night ), rule book stated they monitored you on the Ring !!! , friends are not allowed over for dinner.... Really?!?... They even count every cup, glass, plate, tupperware, salad... What the !?!!
It was pathetic. Dont rent unless you want to monitored by the state.
Im not there to take out your garbage.
Do it yourself.
It's always a mystery as to what to expect when you book a VRBO. That being said, we had many questions about the amenities that were provided. The owner was always quick to respond. This allowed us to only pack what we needed, which was important for a family of 8 coming from Arizona. This really helped us to feel prepared for our vacation and allowed us no to overpack. The home was generously supplied with everything you would need for 8 people. Plenty of dishes, cooking supplies, and linens. The home was very clean which helped us feel comfortable with the current state of things. It is located on a relatively quiet street which helped us feel at ease for our kids to throw the football in the street or wallk down to the beach which was less than a 6-minute walk, 2 short neighborhood blocks. The best help was the communication and helpfulness of owner. We ran into car troubles at the end of the stay and the owner worked with us to accommodate us as long as she could before the next renter. Highly recommend this property for couples or family. Open floor plan makes the living room very comfortable for 8 people.
Very nice location close enough to the ocean to walk down and enjoy the tide pools and sunsets. There were a couple of things that made it less comfortable than other VRBO’s we have rented in this same area. The ice maker and water dispenser were not working the entire time we were there. A previous reviewer also identified the problem, so we were surprised it was not fixed and we were not notified of the problem before we rented. The property description does say you have to pay extra for the washer and dryer, but we felt $20 a day was excessive. Having access helps us keep our clothes and towels clean as well as any towels in the unit. Not having access to the garage was also problematic because we had 4 adult and 2 kids bikes that are expensive. The area is very safe but we would have been more comfortable if we could have locked them up inside the garage. I did not pick that up in the description. All I all, it was a nice place, but it did tech me to read the fine print more closely.
The house itself is clean and tidy inside. However, the outside grounds are deplorable. It's all dirt. The VRBO listing prominently shows a pathway to the beach that is at least 200 yards away. I didn't read the fine print like I should have because I have never had a VRBO listing so misrepresented.
Even though the listing carefully does not list a fireplace one is prominently featured in several pictures. It is a fireplace façade where the owner went so far as to put a nonworking switch on the wall that might lead one to believe the fireplace worked.
There is no ocean view from anywhere in the house. The view from the deck is of the plain dirt landscaping. The neighbors across the street must be appalled by their view.
Rather that replace the couch with its broken springs, the solution was to put a plywood board under the cushions. The master king bed was so soft that the fitted sheets came undone the moment any weight was put on the bed. The temp was set at 57 degrees with no ability to change it since the thermostat was locked. The entry instructions with lockbox, etc. are terribly outdated as there is simply a combination lock on the front door and the owner or property manager texted us the four digit code. As we were the tenants on Thursday evening it was our job to take the trash cans to the street and bring them back the next day. Apparently the owner or property manager is nowhere near the premises. Unless you are driving an SUV I can guarantee your car will bottom out on the steep driveway. The shower head in the master bath is permanently positioned so the water will hit a sort person in the face. The shower itself is too small to move out of the way. As others have mentioned, the TV is at an odd angle for viewing from the couch. It should have been placed where the faux fireplace is. The icemaker in the refrigerator works fine but the door dispenser is set to crushed ice with no way to change the setting. It would be a nice touch if the housekeeping crew emptied the ice cube holder when cleaning the house so that the next tenant would not be greeted by a block of melted and refrozen ice.
There are positives. The selection of glassware and plates is good. Good directions on how to use the TV and lots of DVDs to choose from. There are several tasteful decorator pieces throughout the house. All in all, a very disappointing stay and I feel I was duped by the listing. Shame on you, VRBO!
This home is located 2 blocks from the beach and 5 blocks from the Preserve. Great for our hiking family. We were treated to deer and herons in the yard, plus a tree that was regularly the resting place for beautiful monarch butterflies and yellow bumble bees. I do recommend you thoroughly re-read the rental agreement the day before you go as there are key directions (particularly concerning check-in and the spotty Internet service in Cambria). The problems getting in were mostly me. Christy was very responsive once we drove back to town and could get reception. Very gracious host.
We loved our time at Marine Terrace! It was clean, quiet, located with easy access to all the best aspects of Cambria...downtown is just over the hill, access to Fiscalini Ranch just steps away (2 short blocks), ocean access is just as close. The host was friendly and responsive and eager to accomodate our needs whenever she could.
I went with my friend. It was very peaceful and relaxing. The area and scenary is beautiful. The beach is in walking distance. The neighbors are very friendly. One aspect that really impressed me was when I forgot my friends Elephant stuffed animal, which was everything to my friend. Christy went above and beyond to search for it and remain in communication with me during that time. I would highly recommend.
Home was beautiful and kitchen well stocked for dinnersy. There were some minor issues with the home which we notified property manager about and she was very responsive. Neighborhood was quiet and very nice walking to the coast. Enjoyed our visit!
We truly enjoyed our stay. It was clean, great lay out, close to the beach, close to the trail bluff, and very quiet neighborhood. We would stay again.
