Lovely Cottage just above Moonstone Beach in the Pines and Oak Trees.

Quiet place with wild animals roaming around. Great place for vacation

The water system filter needs to be replaced because the water has a bad smell. Additionally, the communication regarding access to the property is very poor, and the itinerary provided is not helpful. The property view is very nice.

Quiet location in the country with peek views of ocean. Close to town. Be aware that T-Mobile has no coverage except when you are out in front of the cottage.

A very comfortable cottage with all the necessary amenities. TV in the bedroom would have made the stay perfect for my wife. Overall very pleased and would recommend.

Beautiful property! Karl was easy to work with and attentive. Bring your own shampoo, conditioner and shower soap.

This is the perfect place to stay for someone who appreciates a very quiet space in nature, aesthetic charm, and quality. We spent hours among the oak and pine trees watching the birds, the deer and the wild turkeys. Yet all the shops and beaches of Cambria were within five minutes travel. Everything was so comfortable and felt luxurious, especially the beds! And the cottage is so well built we had to admire the quality. Love the windows and doors!

Beautiful views out every window. Cozy, clean, comfortable. LOVED watching all of the deer and their fawns graze around the property. Easy access to town!!! Quality furnishings and appliances. Tasteful decor!!! Loved it. So peaceful. We hope to stay here again sometime!!!!!

We had a lovely stay up in the pines! The cottage had tons of wildlife around, and was perfect for our group (4 adults). This is one that I would absolutely book again if I find myself in the area! Karl was a great host, and gave all the information we needed. Thank you for the lovely stay!

The location of the home is superb and is like stepping into your own private world. We loved “living in a forest” for a few days and loved how convenient town access and beach access were. Both spaces of the home were spotless and we loved having access to the top unit and main house. We would alternate between sitting on the rear porch, upper balcony or front porch and watch and listen to the wildlife that also call this space home. We had the pleasure of seeing the same momma deer and her fawn every day we were there. Overall, this was a great experience and we look forward to coming back and enjoying this magical place. Cambria has a lot to offer, and this is the perfect location to access it from. You’re a few minutes away while still having total seclusion. If you’re looking for a place to disconnect and reset this is it.

Absolutely loved my stay. Enjoyed the wild turkeys and deer. It was very clean. Host was great at responding. Very close to the beach but I don’t recommend walking. I would be afraid of getting hit by a car. I don’t recommend sleeping on the pullout bed in living room. Very uncomfortable but the beds themselves were comfy. Room for improvement was a bigger coffee pot but there is also a KeuregHope to be back

This was a beautiful, quiet spot convenient to the town of Cambria and just a few minutes drive from the beach. We loved watching the deer and turkeys walking around the property. The cottage was spotlessly clean and comfortable. We would love to return someday!

The house is lovely and with the upstairs unit you have plenty of room. The surroundings are beautiful too.

Great location for a day trip to Hearst Castle. The property was close to coast highway, where we were greeted by a heard of cows. Once on site, we were immersed in the pines and oak trees, with wild turkeys and quails walking the grounds close by. We stayed at the property after camping for a few nights in Big Sur, which turned out to be a great combination. We loved eating at the Sea Chest down the road during sunset one evening. Our site host was very warm. We would be happy to stay here again on future trips.

House was immaculate and more than adequate for our needs. The property was gorgeous and very well maintained. An excellent stay - I would highly recommend!

Nice quiet and secluded.

This unit was very close to Cambria, which offers shopping, dining, and beautiful ocean views.

Beautiful property, well appointed with nice appliances. Very quiet and peaceful setting.

Karl is a man of few words but communicated what we needed to know.

The location was great, as it sits between both Cambria and Hearst Castle. The cottage was everything we hoped for with countless deers walking the property. At night, you could also hear the ocean off in the nearby distance which was relaxing. Definitely recommend this property and will be back again.

We had a wonderful stay at this Cambria cottage! The tree covered property is beautiful and conveniently located, as it is just a few minutes from Moonstone Beach and the town of Cambria. The cottage itself is just awesome. We traveled with our family of four and my parents and were so comfortable in the space. We rented the entire unit and stayed in the upstairs area, while my parents stayed downstairs. We loved having a bit of our own space and my kids greatly appreciated the alcoves in the upstairs area. My husband, who is notorious for nitpicking construction, could not find anything wrong with this place and he and my son have asked multiple times when we can return to live there. The kitchen is stocked with all the basics you may need and there are extra linens if you need them. In addition to the property, Karl is a responsive host. He reached out prior to our arrival and provided all the information we would need to check in and enjoy our stay. If we had any queries, he was very quick to respond. If you are looking for a serene stay just a quick jaunt from town, this is a great choice.

Property was very clean and convenient. Enjoyed the stay!! Would highly recommend.

Location is pretty and a safe area

The aesthetics and comfort of the cottage—and its beautiful setting—helped offset the fact that much of the overall stay felt rather underwhelming. The host was not welcoming; while the generic information letter was useful, it lacked any personal touch, and we did not hear from him at all during our stay. I reached out about an ant infestation and did not receive a response until after we had already checked out.The amenities were adequate, but many of the small touches that make a stay more comfortable were missing. It would have been nice to have basic toiletries in the shower, USB outlets, and a functional pullout sofa in the living room. The kitchen had a coffee maker but no filters or coffee, and only salt and pepper were provided—no oil, spray, or other basic cooking staples. Even the ice trays in the freezer were empty.There were also no games, reading material, welcome letter, local recommendations, or phone numbers for nearby services. Overall, while the cottage itself was charming, the lack of thoughtful details and host engagement made the experience less enjoyable than it could have been.

Rooms were clean, and although secluded, you can hear the ocean from the rooms. Host required more choes than other VRBO hosts, including bringing large garbage bins to road and back the next day. Host did not most messages, such as when dryer didn't work. And also when we backed our vehicle into low tree stump left behind guest parking spot.

We enjoyed our stay at this guest cottage. Everything was comfortable and well maintained. The location was lovely, under the oaks, and just a short trip to the beach or town. Recommended!

Overall a great stay. Very peaceful and relaxing. Enjoyed our time there

Couple of things to note:- No frills, not even a soap to shower and the one handwash inside was expired years ago. Some basics are important for this price.- Grill was a mess and uncleaned. Had bugs all over and showed there is no real deep cleaning. This was pretty sad.- Communication with manager was weak as we didnt get response for a long time and it was not helpful.- Maybe i missed it in description, but the upper and lower floor are not connected.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful VRBO in an even more beautiful setting. It's quiet, pleasant, relaxing, so close to the beach and town, we really enjoyed our stay! The ONLY issue we had was what is listed isn't fully accurate. We actually chose this place after originally having reserved another site, because it advertised KING beds in both rooms which would work perfect for two couples. Unfortunately, when we arrived, we found out the upstairs, which is very roomy and large, only has a queen bed. There is also no bathtub in bathroom 2 as advertised. Also, no soap or shampoos are provided.Otherwise, this was a lovely place and we'd highly recommend it.

This cottage is beautifully adorned with granite countertops, tile showers, and new furnishings. It’s off of the beach a little bit, but you can hear the waves in the morning. The cottage is nestled in amongst acres of trees. The first morning while we were having coffee, we saw nine deer walk right by us eating acorns. The property has a private gate to enter, and acres and acres to explore. It was really relaxing, not to have neighbors like when you stay in a hotel.

Great location. Minutes from town and beaches. Favorite part is the privacy and peaceful space. Back porch faces the woods and you can hear the ocean.A couple of deer greeted us each morning.

Enjoyed our stay appreciated the quieter location in Cambria easily driving to downtown & beaches.

Secluded, quiet, secure and clean. That was what I was hoping for. That's was what we got. We would stay here again for sure.

Since I can’t fit all I want to say here are the highlights -This is two SEPARATE one bedroom units. They do not connect from the inside. Do not be mislead like us and lose a bunch of money-The owners house is right next to the cabin and can see directly inside -No soap/shampoo/conditioner -Told to bring trash cans out & back among a long list of other things yet you’re paying a massive cleaning fee-Must squeegee shower doors after every use??We were VERY mislead when booking this property. Traveling with a 1 yr old & looking for a 2 bedroom cabin, so we were shocked to see the setup when we arrived. Since we couldn’t leave our 1 yr old alone in his own unit, we all had to sleep downstairs. That meant my husband & I slept on separate (uncomfortable) pull out couches so our son could sleep in the room. When we told the owner how frustrated we were he told us we could leave that day & be refunded for the next 2 days, so we agreed & quickly booked a new rental. Turns out we were refunded 473 of a 1,317 trip. So we paid 845 to sleep on pull out couches for 1 night. When we confronted the owner he said we’re being refunded for the nights and not the fees. When I explained we would have never been ok with that & agreed to it if we knew how much money we were losing he asked me if I “really thought I would be refunded 2/3 of the trip” &went on to tell me the cleaning fee needed to be paid and he “figured I would have thought that through and weighed my options and stayed.”

Great area. Close to downtown and Moonstone beach. Only thing I could suggest is provide shampoo/conditioner and soap in the shower. Lots of deet and wild turkeys in the area.

Loved this cozy cottage. It was nestled among beautiful trees. We were visited in the morning by mama dear and her babies. They came around most mornings. In the evening the turkeys came by. It was close to shopping, golf and wineries. Moonstone beach is beautiful and very close. I would recommend to my best friends.

Peaceful stay - really enjoyed the separate floors personally to provide added privacy and quiet. The upstairs is very large and can sleep plenty if need be. The location was wonderful - right off Highway 1, but quiet and peaceful property. Only 12 minutes from Hearst Castle and 5 to downtown Cambria and coastal boardwalk. Directions and check-in/out instructions were clear. Really enjoyed our peaceful stay here. Only note of advice - don't rely on anything being provided. The property didn't provide soap or shampoo, so make sure you bring 100% of what you need.

We were thrilled to stay at Karl’s cottage and had an amazing time as always! We were able to see deer and turkeys throughout each day and enjoy the tire and tree swings on the property with our kids, and the upstairs is perfect for running and playing when it’s too windy, rainy, or cold. The house is perfectly located near Moonstone Beach, the playground, Fiscalini Ranch, and the town. We look forward to visiting again!

The Cottage was very clean and kept nice. We saw deer and wild turkeys every day. Location is easy to get to and close to all the scenic sites. We enjoyed our stay.

We loved this property. Its location is perfect - close to the beach, Hearst Castle, cute stores, bars & restaurants. We traveled to Sensorio from there - it was an eaay 35ish minute drive. The home is cozy and has everything you need really. Bring Kuerig coffee pods, or grounds for their small coffee maker. There wasnt any body soap or travel toiletries provided but we managed :)Do note that there are 2 seperate entrances for the main two bedrooms. Both areas are great but they have completely separate entrances. The property is beawith well maintained huge oak trees. We felt very safe & comfortable here and would go back. We had a hiccup with our entry to the property but the owner quickly helped us and all was good! The issue was with VRBO actually, not the owner. Otherwise - everything was great! Thank you Akrl for a greatplace to stay!

Such a lovely place in a magical location on earth.

It was very nice but we did have some problems.1.Key safe on front wall very hard to operate; took some time to get open, then it was impossible to put the key back in, I had to leave it not completely secured.2.No grill pan for oven and no instructions on use.3. No instructions on outdoor gas grill, May have been low on gas; the flames were barely there.All the rest of the cabin was very nice .I would visit again if the upgrades and other things were fixed. Thanks Donald and June Grover4.Needs ADA assist for stairs to lower unit and an ADA height toilet.

Beautiful spot; gorgeous trees, nice view of natures creatures from a distance, very quiet but just a few minutes to beaches, restaurants, and playground. My granddaughter enjoyed the swing and looking for lady bugs.

A delightful little house close to everything and yet set away from the bustle of town. My family had a delightful time staying at this cute little house, a great home base for all the nearby activities. One side note for families traveling with young children; the upstairs is awesome but only accessible externally. It still worked fine for our daughters. The property is gated and safe! Loved the swing too

Loved it and will be back!!!

This is a lovely property on a private, secluded estate. It is scenic. The house is very comfortable and nicely furnished. The beds were very comfortable. The owner Ron was very helpful and welcoming.

The property location was beautiful! You feel like you're away from it all and yet the town is close by. The beaches are just a few minutes away.The cabin itself was just the right size for the two of us! It was clean and comfortable. Not all of the windows had blinds and that was a bit unsettling. Be prepared to bring your own soap, shampoo and Kleenex.Overall, we had a wonderful time!

Great

Had a great time with the family. Property was quiet and we all enjoyed it

Private, with a great location, in a wonderful community of 5+ acre lots.
