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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great View & Privacy

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view was spectacular. The house was very roomy & clean. It was nice being at the end of the street with only one neighbor to the east but we didn't hear or see them. The big deck was designed for viewing & privacy. I have a few negatives: 1) when we arrived, the house was very warm (lots of windows) and it smelled like pee. We were going to roll-up the rugs & put them in the garage but they were fastened to the wood floor. I suggest those rugs be professionally cleaned. 2) The mattresses were not comfortable (too hard), 3) The house is over highway 1 & very noisy traffic started every morning around 3AM (LOUD). Probably a lot of construction trucks headed to the Big Sur Hwy 1 road repairs. Too warm to sleep with the doors & windows closed. Just really surprising how noisy hwy 1 can be.
