555 Lancaster St.

There was a power outage as we were making dinner on Sunday night. The house has no candles, flashlights, or other devices that one can use to help see. We had our phones as the only light source. Candles would have been nice. Power outages are pretty common in Santa Barbara and I would assume in Cambria as well.

The house is very close to Fascilini Ranch, which is a must do. You can literally lose yourself in nature. I walked twice a day! The people in the area were friendly and welcoming. The home was exactly what we needed. It was clean, well appointed, spacious,... I could go on and on. We will be returning to this magical area, only a 4 hour drive for us. Heidi was a pleasure to work with. She made the experience easy. There was a power outage on the departing day, completely out of Cabria Vacation Rentals control. Looking forward to seeing you again in the near future.

Had another great trip to Cambria, both for business and pleasure. I have stayed numerous times in the Lancaster house. Love its location, not on a busy street, close to the Ranch for walking, and close enough to the beach to hear the surf when it is large. As usual the house was clean and Heidi and Janet provided excellent service. Again enjoyed the Sea Chest.

We meet my wife's cousin who stayed here with us for two nights. We visited Hearst Castle, viewed the Sea Lions and toured the coast. The home has a large master bedroom, bath and living / dining area Clean and comfortable, nice location. Would stay again.

Perfect location, close to everything, very comfortable house
Heidi is super helpful.

There were 3 of us and a little dog and we had a marvelous time. The rooms were spacious, beds comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped for any cooking we did. Only suggestion would be to have a few more big mugs for coffee and some clear stemmed glasses for wine. But none of that took away from our enjoyment. Ate in for most dinners, but had a wonderful meal at The Black Cat in Cambria. The house is located about 30-45 minutes from most wineries in the Paso area so you can have a great day there tasting. The Firestone Taproom and Etto Pasta were wonderful stops for lunch. Altogether a fantastic stay!

We have been visiting Cambria for almost ten years and found this stay to be the best!! Located near Fiscalini Ranch, we loved the views walking along the neighborhood and seeing diverse wildlife- including turkeys!!! Xoxo
My husband and I had an extended weekend getaway and loved staying in this home! A spacious kitchen, huge bathtub in the master room in the garage for parking! We will be back to this home! Next time we would love to bring our grown children as the house was so spacious. The proximity to the ocean was relaxing to listen to at night. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Had a great time in Cambria. This has become my favorite house to stay in, some much so I have reserved it two more times this year. As usual Heidi and Janet treated me like a long-lost friend. This rental is very comfortable, well equipped and clean.

I have stayed in this rental several times and it is very comfortable, it has a fenced yard for the dogs, and is located fairly close to the ranch. The house is always clean. Cambria Vacation Rentals has been my vacation rental choice in Cambria for over 20 years, Heidi and Janet are very easy to work with. Rain, wind, and sunshine during my visit.

We always go through Heidi every time we come to Cambria. She has great properties and maintains them well. Especially liked this house: very clean, appeared recently updated, and nice rear fenced yard to our dog. Well stocked kitchen too We will rent this one again!

Great home with great views of the ocean and close walk to beach. All amenities included as well. Perfect place for simply relaxing.

This property is perfect for a long weekend getaway. Great neighborhood, close to hiking, beach and a short drive to town.
Heidi and Joni At Cambria Vacation Rentals are very professional and super nice, they make sure your stay is pleasant and enjoyable.

We will definitely consider staying here again, the house was very clean and comfortable, exactly as described online in the perfect location for walking down the (steep) hill to the beach and going for a quick drive into town. Bonus was being able to park in the garage since it was raining while we were there. Lots of nice little touches such as flashlights next to every bed. Nice to have two coffee machines available but we couldn't find any coffee in the cabinets (perhaps previous renters used it up and it just hadn't been replaced?). One funny quirk is the master bathroom window setup -- one might not want to take a shower or a bath at nighttime as the neighbor's can see your outline with the lights behind you. But overall a wonderful rental and would definitely come back!

Very enjoyable weekend, comfy house with nice amenities.

The house is comfortable enough, with a king in the master, a queen in the 2nd bedroom, and two twins in the 3rd. We used the "TV room" for our grandbaby in his portable crib. It was a good house for us because I did not feel worried about precious knick knacks or pristine furniture. It just felt relaxed, in that regard. The Master is on the second floor with the kitchen, dining, and living area. The other rooms are on the first floor. Apparently, you can hear people walking around and cupboards opening and closing very well when in those rooms. There is a deck with a table and chairs for outside dining, which we used only once and in the middle of the day because evenings were chilly when we were there. The back yard is not much to speak of, but worked well for the dog. The view of the ocean is a peek-a-boo view. At night in the master you can hear the waves crashing in the distance. We did one walk to the coast, but with the little ones it was a push because the street is very steep, the climb home being tough for some of our group. There is a beautiful community park called Shamel within walking or a short drive distance. The beach is right there, too, but is NOT a swimming beach. Very steep and under tows. There are lots of beautiful rocks to rummage through for jade, jasper, and agate. The best beach is Moonstone Beach. The boardwalk along the cliff above the beach is perfect for an easy stroll and dogs are allowed. The beach does NOT allow dogs. There were lots of surfers and sea life was abundant. We even saw dolphins in the waves. The town of Cambria is essentially split into two sections, both very cute. Access to fun activities is easy, both north and south.

We had a pleasant stay. The Fiscalini Ranch Preserve is just 3 blocks away and was a great place to walk in a gorgeous natural setting.If you like to walk/hike with a dog you will love it.

great

Good communication with management even when I made a mistake
Lovely home and location .

We really enjoyed our visit. Location of the house is perfect for the walks at Fiscalini Ranch . Lots of wildlife. House is bright and spacious.
Heidi and Jone are such a pleasure to work with.

@nd time staying in this house. I feel that it is the best equipped that I have stayed in Cambria, which is saying a lot, been coming since 1947. House is convenient to the ranch, the beach, and west end of the west village. As usual the staff at Cambria Vacation Rentals were very helpful. It is located on a not very busy street on park hill (very quiet).

This trip was our second stay @ 555 Lancaster. This home is in a great location. Two easy blocks from Fiscalini Ranch Preserve.
The home is clean, though starting to show a little wear. Master bed is super comfortable and you will get a great nights sleep. Open the window a little and you can hear the waves crash.
If you enjoy cooking, make sure to bring your own spices and whatnot. Also bring a knife or two.
Make sure to notice the sunsets from the deck. They are gorgeous.
Cambria Vacation Rentals is great to work with.
Can't wait to come back!

If it wasn't great we would not have renewed for 2024. It will be our third stay in this house. Out of some five places we have stayed in Cambria, this one suits us best and it works well for our dog.

This well-apportioned home was ideal for our year-end stay. We especially liked the floor plan as we needed only one floor to accommodate the two of us.

We love staying at this house...it feels like home since we’ve stayed so many times. Every time we are there, we start planning for the next time we come back.

Property was spacious. Good location.
Property could use some easy fixes such as fresh interior paint, silcone spray for noisy garage door, some plastic hangers in bedroom to replace old wire hangers and two suitcase stands per bedroom for guests. Simple stuff.

Although we've visited Cambria a number of times, this was our first stay at this location. Overall, it was very nice, especially with the use of the enclosed garage. The house was nice, although some of the furniture was a bit old. It was clean and neat although cleaning crew missed a few spots. Several lights were out as well which should have been checked. Location was excellent, near beautiful walking trail, Shamel Park, Moonstone Beach and less than a mile to town. Also neighbors were very friendly. We enjoyed it enough to rebook another stay next April...

This was our 7th rental from Cambria Vacation Rentals, and as has always happened before, it was flawless.

My friend and I experienced 6 nights of relaxing pleasure. Great house and we enjoyed it very much. The only thing that I would suggest are new or sharper knives. (I believe that I already submitted an excellent review the day that I left the house(.

This spacious home was perfect for my husband and I and our three kids/friend in their twenties. There is a slight ocean view and it’s a quick walk to the Fiscalini preserve. The house is well stocked with linens and towels and the kitchen has everything you need to prepare your meals. Check in/out very easy. House decor is 90s style but furniture and house itself are very clean and in good condition. I would recommend this house to anyone.

relaxing. rested.

We love this house. It’s the seventh time we’ve stayed here. It’s a lovely house in a nice quiet neighborhood.

Property was good and in a very good location. Everything was good except the smell. Someone would have cooked fish or something before we occupied and the whole house upstairs where the living room and kitchen were, smelling so bad. Other than this, the house is good to stay.

We’ve been visiting the California Central Coast three or four times a year with a group of friends for over 25 years. Being retired now allows us the availability to visit whenever the spirit moves us. We were quite excited to stay here for a week and have it be our home base as we visited our favorite places. We found comfortable seating for all to enjoy our time visiting, playing games, and working on puzzles. The kitchen is well equipped and we created many delicious meals instead of going out for a lot of meals. The beds were very comfortable and we were able to read in the evenings. We are looking forward to visiting this home again.

We enjoyed our stay at this very nice home. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals. It was an easy walk to the ocean and a quick drive to the downtown area. Great location.

Great house and great location. Have stayed many times in Cambria (since 1947). This is one of my favorite houses, close to Ranch for walks yet on a quite street.

House was clean and comfortable and in a good location. Not too far from town. Would definitely recommend this property.

It was exactly what we needed - restful but not boring. It had been 3 years since we last visited, much too long! Visited our old staples (wine tasting, drive up the coast, walking around town), ate at our favorites (Sea Chest, Robin's, Linn's, Redwood Cafe, Main Street Grill, Sandy's, Madeline's) and tried a place we haven't been to - take out - Mezzo Italiano, very good. And, of course, fabulous walks in the Fiscalini preserve.

Terrific location, close to trails, Moonstone Beach, elephant seals, terrific restaurants, and shopping. People are so warm and friendly. And the ocean scenery can’t be topped.

The fenced yard was a plus for our dog. The property suited our needs and we have already reserved for next year.

As always we enjoyed our stay immensely- the location near the ranch is ideal for long walks. The kitchen is outfitted very well- which was good given that COVID conditions made us wary of dining out. Worked out fantastic for our week-long stay.

We had a great time! The home was cozy and had everything we needed. You have peek a boo views of the ocean from the living room, kitchen and master bedroom. We walked down to the beach and we also walked over to the Fiscalini Preserve which had the most beautiful views! We had our fur baby with us and she was able to hang out in the enclosed backyard. We had the best time :)

The house and location were really nice. The only issue we has was that there was pet (cat and dog) hair on the bedding and furniture. We also found lipstick smears on the pillow cases. There was a washer and dryer on site, but not something you want to see. Everything else about the house was really nice.

Good, would have been better if there was streaming services avaable.
Recommend for with printed Instructures rather than fading pencil instructions.

The home is in good condition, clean, well laid out. Great for pets as it has a fenced backyard. CBV were helpful in every way. We've been coming up here for more than 20 years and have rented various properties over time and have always been satisfied. Love that we can hear the ocean from the home and that it is in close proximity to the open space for walks. Can't wait to return.

Awesome, house was clean and very well stocked w/everything we needed for stay. Beautiful views of water from 2nd floor & deck. We are excited to return next year highly recommend house.

CVR was amazing as always, made sure everything ran smoothly.

We always enjoy our stay there. We found ants in the pantry, but we used some ammonia on the selves, and that took care of that. The pull out neck on the kitchen faucet is broke, so it doesn't snap back into place. The couch is so soft, you feel like you're sitting on the floor. But it is so quiet and peaceful, you have to love it. You can hear the breeze whisper through the trees and every bird chirp. It's close enough to hear the ocean at night. It's a good home away from home house.

This is our fifth time with Cambria Vacation Rentals, and out first time during the pandemic. As always, CVA was excellent: information was clear; the home was ready; the COVID cleaning/rental protocols followed. The house is comfortable and well located. It was our first trip since the pandemic, and CVA helped make it a great one.

Very nice home to base in for our activities on the Central Coast.

Loved the house. It was well appointed and clean. Good location. Easy check-in and checkout. Would definately stay there again

relaxing, good location for walking

We've stayed at this house quite a few times and have always been happy. The kitchen is huge and a treat to cook in. It was a very relaxing few days. We can't wait to come back!

The upstairs was the only part of the house that we used. The patio is great but it was a little cold & windy when we were there. The master bed/bath is very comfy & it was nice to have a king sized bed!

Everything went smoothly and the house was clean and lovely.

Very clean, well stocked kitchen, light filled on the top floor with plenty of space and a private deck. Well located for walks to the ocean and Fiscalini Ranch. Two bedrooms downstairs perfect for children and teens that want their own spaces.

Property adequate but was very much in need of new furnishings, bedding and interior paint.
