Open the front door to discover the surprise of an art-filled retreat — cozy, airy and visually stunning. Perched on the flank of Cambria’s Park Hill, this light-filled refuge is close enough to the ocean that you can see and hear the distant waves crashing on Moonstone Beach. You are just up from Shamel Park, a few blocks from the expansive trails of Fiscalini Ranch and a 15-minute walk from the shops and restaurants of West Village. This home is ideal for a romantic weekend fortwo, a solo writing retreat, or a fun getaway for family and friends. The open-plan house is surrounded by green space on all sides, making it a quiet refuge with views of the ocean, pine trees, and coastal hills through the many windows. You can also see a huge expanse of stars through oversized skylights. The large deck is perfect for morning tea, afternoon reading or sunset viewing after a day of wine tasting in nearby Paso Robles or a tour of Hearst Castle in San Simeon. Each of the two small bedrooms has a queen bed and bathroom/shower. Two comfy air mattresses with linens are also available. The house is equipped with a well-stocked kitchen, a nice upright piano, WiFi, Smart Tv, many books and a stereo. This property is pet-friendly. Steep Driveway. Enter driveway on the far left side of-which is not very steep - and either park in front of outdoor table or angle into carport. TOT#6004416

    Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love staying at the Ampersand home. It’s nicely furnished with artful touches, walkable to hiking and town, nice deck and large windows with view of canyon, trees, and ocean in distance. Lots of light.Deck could use maintenance with new cushions but not a significant detraction.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love this well-equipped and well-located home. It met our needs with the same minor issues as before. Driveway is really tough for cars with low ground clearance; prohibited street parking doesn’t provide any options. CD player was glitchy like last time, and there is a lack of storage space for luggage. None of these are issues that would keep us from coming back, just a heads up for potential guests to consider when making plans.

    Great location with view of ocean! Lots of neat artwork, great choice of reading materials, games, puzzles. There was a glitch in communication-we didn’t receive an email with instructions, but was resolved with a phone call. We really enjoyed our stay.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was a little gem. It was a perfect location and very quiet which made it a great getaway from the noise of Los Angeles. Patio cushions could use an update. It was perfect for an artist to sit and paint the lovely garden. Would definitely come back again.

    This was our 4th time staying here- always a pleasure. Clean, quiet, great for nature watching, and close to all the activities and places in & around town we love to visit.

    Place was clean, in a good location close to the ocean. Kitchen looked recently renovated. I could have done without all the wooden masks on the walls as decor. The deck was large and appeared to have a great view.I cannot comment much more, as I didn't sleep there and only spent about 2 hours there total, although I reserved for 5 nights. I had an emergency and returned home the same night as I arrived…. bummer.

    We fell in love with Ampersand the moment we arrived. The view of the ocean as soon as we entered was amazing and we knew this was a great house. We came from Christmas Market, which is an experience of its own. The house came with great accommodations. Baths are updated and the heater works very quickly. Kitchen comes with all the small appliances you need. The house decor is very eclectic with many different pieces of art and cozy furniture. The only downfall is that the mattress in the master is smaller than the bed frame and we hit our shins on the bed frame each time we got in bed. But we loved our stay and plan to return soon.
