Love this beautiful home in Cambria. The deck and living room offer amazing and peaceful ocean views. A short walk to the shore to explore. The house is comfortable, clean and spacious. We will return soon!

This is the second time that we’ve stayed at this particular address and have been spending time in Cambria at homes through Cambria Vacation Rentals for several years now. They are always beyond comfortable, the views are always gorgeous, the homes are always spotless, and the owners of, the agency are beyond accommodating and kind. We hope to continue visiting this beautiful area in Cambria vacation rental homes for many years to come. This year we had a car breakdown and they were kind enough to allow us to stay one more night even coming up on the busy Memorial Day weekend. It was a true blessing.

Excellent. Heidi and Janet are great to work with.

This house was a pleasant surprise. Having stayed at several houses Cambria Vacation Rentals provides, we are putting this house on our list of faves. The location is great. Just above Windsor Blvd and a short walk to the ocean and a quick drive to town. The house was clean and had everything you could need. The one bed we used was very comfortable. We loved sitting on the deck and watching the sun set. Another thing we loved was the short walk with our dog to Fiscalini Ranch. Expect to see some deer walking around.

I've known Heidi and Janet for years. They genuinely care about their guests, and they want to make your vacation experience as enjoyable as possible.

The reservation process, check-in, and check-out were a breeze. The property was accurately described, extremely clean, and managed well.

I would definitely stay at this property again, and I highly recommend it to others.

This is our third time staying around New Year's and we love it! It is perfect for our 3 generations. The views are spectacular, especially the sunsets. The layout of the house is perfect and relaxing while cooking family meals, playing games together, or just relaxing and reading books. Our dog loves to come along too.

Wonderful views. Excellent nearby hiking trails. And close to town. We had a great stay.

Great stay. Pickup keys and did NOT have to contact Cambria Rentals for anything.

Two couples spent a lovely 4 days at the home. The deck and BBQ made for wonderful lunch location for nightly sunset views and extended cocktails
The one master suite downstairs was perfect while the other two bedrooms were rather cramped. The kitchen was fully stocked and the dining room table was spacious.

Magnificent ocean view home. Perfect amenities. Great vibe and location. Enjoyed everything about this home. <3

The property was in great condition. Heide from CRV met us there upon arrival and resolved the glitch in the streaming services. That enhanced our stay there.

WE have been using CVR for many years, Never a bad experience. The entire staff is very helpful.

We had a few problems but they were dealt with quickly by Jone and Heidi. The shower in the downtown queen bedroom overflowed. A plumber came the next day and fixed the problem. The carpets in the bedroom and bath were of course soaking. Someone came out and cleaned up and sanitized the room and removed all of the carpets, but we never got new ones. Also, the smoke alarm in the upstairs bedroom was triggered, we believe, by steam from the shower. My daughter had to fan the steam out the window, and sleep with the window open. The house was otherwise great! Great kitchen with good and varied kitchen utensils and tableware, and an electric kettle along with the coffeemaker. We liked the upper room setup, with the kitchen at one end of the room, with the large windows all along the ocean side of the house. The furniture looks new, and is very nice, but there are no long sofas for a family to watch TV together. There are small wall TVs in the living room as well as the downstairs bedrooms.
We cooked dinner in 4 out of the seven nights, and appreciated the sturdy table and chairs. We brought our dogs, and there was really no good place to walk the dogs from the house. There are very steep hills around the house. I did appreciate the very large dog bed in the lower master bedroom.
The negatives include no shower caddies in the showers to hold your shampoo, soap, etc. Hopefully that will be remedied. We really liked the beds. Firm, but comfortable. The linens and towels were very good and we all slept well.

We chose this rental because it was dog friendly and the deck was spacious with great views. House was clean and rooms were comfortable. Living room furniture wasn’t the most comfortable, but we spent most of our time outside so I didn’t really matter. This place is on my radar and I will definitely book again.

We had a wonderful time at this property. The view was great and we were all comfortable. Thank you for a fun family weekend.

This home has an amazing view. It is very well organized and very clean and comfortable. It is just a short walk to the beach or l to some benches on the bluff. As always Heidi and Joan are so kind and helpful. Their business is run with the up most integrity.

Nice, very clean house. The only issue was the lack of screens in the downstairs Master Bedroom. Didn't feel safe without them as it was on the street level.

We've been going to Cambria for almost 18 years in the winter months. We always rent a house and this one was new to us. The back deck was the best and the view was unmatched! The house was clean and not cluttered. Our family was very comfortable and we were surprised that the walk to the ocean is about 2 blocks! Would definitely stay here again.

My husband, dog and I have stayed here several times. Best view in Cambria and the rental staff are the best.

This house has a great ocean view and a wonderful deck. The living space is all upstairs with large windows.

Outstanding location. The house was clean but there were a few issues. They need a pest control service. We found ants and spiders. We took care of them ourselves. The furnace needs some major service. BUT it is a beautiful house and we put in our reservation for next year.

Our stay was great
We look forward to being there again. The only problem was the weak wifi. Otherwise, the house was clean and very suited to our needs.

It was difficult to leave this place. Almost everything in the house was remodeled. The clean uncluttered home made it easier to enjoy and the view was gorgeous. I’ve rented many nice homes over the years but none like this. Parking was difficult as usual!

Great trip. very clean. Awesome view.We did notice a hike in price though. Thought 400.00 was a bit high for two people. But we will be back. Heidi and Jone are very good to work with.

excellent location with great view of ocean

Beautiful home!! Great view! We loved our stay at this home!

The house was very clean and the room was stayed in was the bigger of the three rooms and it was very nice. Loved the huge shower it had in the bathroom. Upstairs was like everyone said, it is a million dollar view. The balcony was large and wrapped around most of the house facing the ocean. Was a perfect place to go for us, would very much like to book this house again.

This was our first time staying at this house. We previously stayed at a location just one block away. First, and most importantly, this house has a view that made it all worthwhile. A perfect view of the ocean from inside or out on the deck. The downside, Wifi connection was very bad, had cable TV only on the upstairs TV...the other rooms had free cable with bad reception. The main TV could have been a little larger, but not that big a deal. For having stayed 2 weeks, I thought they could have left more paper wasn't just a weekend stay. Water pressure was extremely weak, but I suppose that was due to the drought conditions.
But overall, the view made everything worth it, and we will go there again.
One more note: My wife is very sensitive to mold and got a bad cough when we used the heater. Please check and clean vents.

Property was as described with a beautiful large deck with a beautiful view of the ocean. So close you could hear the waves crashing at night. Three comfortable bedrooms and large kitchen/living room/dining room area on top level with great views out of large picture glass windows. Easy drive into town. Walk is easy to both Shamel Park and Fiscalini Ranch if you don't mind a short steep hill on the return. New grill on the deck. No garage and our two cars had to park behind each other so if you have long bed trucks or SUV's it might be a problem to get them both parked in the driveway. Property was clean and was as described.
I chose this property because it was pet friendly. I am very sensitive to pet smells and I would say the carpet in the lower bedrooms might be cleaned. I stayed in the upstairs bedroom so it didn't bother me. Flooring in the kitchen area looked a little worn but considering this rental allows pets I felt it was understandable. I would stay here again if I was traveling with my pet.

We have rented homes from CVR for at least ten years. We had never stayed at this property before. We chose it primarily because we were bringing our little pup with us. The photos looked fine. Let me start by saying that the home has a million dollar view. It was a joy to sit and look out the window everyday at the ocean with those windows. But behind that, we were not impressed. We were actually surprised by the number of positive reviews. We immediately had to go into town to buy candles to help with the moldy smell throughout the home. The furniture looked so dirty that we took sheets and covered it throughout the stay. We basically had the sense that NO ONE care for this home at all!! the bedding and towels were very good. My guess is that’s because of the rental company and not the homeowners. Water was coming in the door due to rain. We had ants in the kitchen and bathroom the entire time. Some of the utensils in the kitchen were so bad. For instance, the cheese grater was literally ripped. Cheese graters aren’t that expensive to replace. The lightbulbs in the bathroom weee so bright you had to squint because you felt e you were being interrogated. And what was supposed to be I’m guessing a closet in the master bedroom is an unfinished room with a curtain and concrete floors with some pieces of carpet thrown on top. Mind you, there were no racks in there to even hang clothes. There is a property that we love that we have stayed at multiple times that is beyond lovely. The owners obviously care for it greatly. This home was basically the same price. It should have been a fraction of the price for the state that it’s in. While we enjoyed our stay and made it work, our family would never recommend this home and am surprised that it’s even in your inventory.

It was a great stay in lovely house

The home is even nicer than the pictures. Very comfortable, especially the upstairs. Tremendous views. Lots within walking distance. We really enjoyed it.

Location was great. The house was roomy. Nice deck. Kitchen was totally sufficient. Only disadvantage was having to climb up and down stairs to get to two of the bedrooms. Difficult for older people. The towels for the bathrooms need to be distributed throughout all three bathrooms. My master bath had mold in the shower.

Lovely getaway, nice location, beautiful view of ocean.

We have used CVR for many years. Excellent service, very pleased.

One of my favorite houses to rent in Cambria

Wonderful spot for walks to Fiscalini Ranch or Moonstone Beach. Nice view and sound of distant waves.
My one recommendation is to fence the lower patio and ice plant area to allow pups a little safe, outdoor freedom.

The view was outstanding from the living room and deck. It was the best feature of the house. The two extra bedrooms were too small.

My husband, dog and I had a wonderful time. Great ocean view

beautiful and comfortable house. cannot beat the view or location!

The homes has beautiful ocean views with big decks to sit and enjoy the sunsets. The house is very comfortable,clean and looks exactly like it does in the pictures. It's at the most 10-minute walk to Fiscalini Ranch Preserve, great area for walking your dog. I would recommend this house to any friend and I would stay here again.
my only suggestion is that they get a wider variety of cable stations on the TV.

House was as described. Easy walk to the beach, big windows great views from the deck. Management company is right in middle of city, easy to get keys. Would stay again.

Nice home with good accommodations. Great deck and beautiful ocean views. It made f Made for a great week in Cambria

Stayed here with family. Beautiful home, and the check-in/check out process was so easy! Really love the way this vacation rental company is run, and I have already booked a month long stay for next year we're very much looking forward to.

We spent a week here to get away and get some relaxation. The location and view was great. The house is older and doesn’t appear to have had great updating. My main complaints would be the downstairs shower and upstairs bathtub/shower. The shower & bathtub appear very discolored giving the impression it is dirty. The tv has the most basic of channel services. There is one tv upstairs that gets very few channel choices.

Was very peaceful. Weather was mostly great with just enough rain to keep things green. Great view of whale migration from deck.

We stayed at this location for 4 nights and 5 days. Immediately we noticed how wonderful the view was, we even saw a few whales breaching. As other people have noted, it smelled a bit stale so we opened all the windows and doors to air the place out. And it also was a bit dusty on the blinds and underneath the furniture. But none of that really mattered. The view was gorgeous, the beds are comfy, the bath has jets, and the location is great! It’s only a few blocks from the park/beach and also the ranch. And a short walk to the Main Street. And at night, if you step outside on the deck, you can see the Milky Way. We would highly recommend and plan to stay there again!

I KNOW THAT IT IS NOT THE OVERALL RESPONSIBLITIES O"CVR"TO MAINTAIIN ALL OF THE MAINTANANCE.THE RUGS WERE DIRTY MOST OF THE WINDOW SHADES WOULD NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY AND POTS AND PANS WHERE SOILED AND THE STOVE COVER VENT WAS REALLY DIRTY.

Delightful, great views and beautiful weather. This house is in a good location for the things we like to do. The tv in the living room needs to be bigger.A tv in master bedroom would be a nice addition.

We only used the master because their was just 2 of us but plenty of room. Loved the views!

We had a wonderful week in Cambria and areas around it. The house was very comfortable with a wonderful view. There was a smell when we first came in but that was soon overlooked because everything was so clean and, as I said, comfortable. I would have liked the sun screens to work a little better but the layout of the house, the decoration, and the amenities were so appropriate and supportive of a good time. Bravo. We will definitely be willing to come again.

The shades on the windows facing west need to be repaired in order to be comfortable sitting in the living room before sunset. The views are beautiful.

After renting a fantastic home from CVR and having a wonderful vacation in Cambria in 2009, we were looking forward to a repeat experience in 2019. Everything about our visit in 2019 lived up to our expectations, except the house. The view from the deck and second story was outstanding. The house itself though was very tired and maintenance has been generally neglected by its owner. The pictures posted on CVR's website must have been taken many years ago. Upon arrival, we had to empty the kitchen drawers and completely wash the inside of the drawers and their contents too. One of the roll up blinds on the living room windows was left hanging in tatters, carpet on the stairs was stained and ripped, the range hood was missing most of its paint, kitchen counter was cracked and stained, only had one pot, a lot of lights and switches didn't work, no fans were installed in any of the 3 bathrooms even though the main had been majorly reno'd not that long ago. I'm sure it contributed to the musty smell we noticed in the master bedroom downstairs. The propane bbq on the deck was a safety hazard due to major corrosion on the tank and frozen controls. CVR staff were very good and refunded our cleaning fee, delivered some new pots, and offered to change houses. We opted to stay rather than give up more time to a move. Without the view this house likely wouldn't rent very often. The best description we have is "neglected". Older houses that are clean and well maintained are a delight. Neglected ones are not.

We can't understand why other reviewers gave this property such a high rating as recently as month before our visit. Outside of the view, this property is not worthy to included in CVR's inventory until the owner brings it up to more acceptable standards. We regularly rent homes throughout California and Oregon, and even in Europe. This was the first one that we have been very disappointed with.

Great location; easy walk to ranch and west village. 2nd time I have stayed here, Owners still have to much of their personal stuff in the house. Great views. As always property managers, Heidi and Jone, were great.

We had a relaxing stay with a beautiful 180* view of the Central Pacific coast. Sitting on the deck we could hear the ocean waves. The home was more then we needed and very comfortable. We would stay at 401 Hastings again.
