Stayed Mar 13, 2026Very clean, great location for our 3 day getaway. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking meals. The outdoor area was beautiful with a picnic table and fence for our mini schnauzer to run around and enjoy safely. Alex was very responsive to our needs and any questions we had. Highly recommend.

Stayed Dec 13, 2025We had a very nice stay at this property. It was clean, comfortable and roomy with nice amenities. Entrance to the Fiscalini Preserve trails are about a block from the property and a walk to the ocean on the trails takes about 35 minutes. We would stay at this property again.

Stayed Sep 20, 2025We will try to stay here again. Very convenient to town and the beach. The property has beautiful gardens to enjoy with birds galore to view off the balcony. A plus is the stacked w/d with economy settings. It’s a challenge for those of us who live in a state that doesn’t care about recycling to know exactly what to do with our trash. A sign/s with instructions would be helpful. But we understand it’s another worry for the host. This is a most quiet neighborhood and we wish we could be permanent tenants

Stayed Sep 8, 2025I choose this getaway because it is close to Fiscalini Preserve, which I love for hiking and birding. Plus, this particular property accepts dogs and I don't go anywhere without my doggo. I cook all my meals and the kitchen was fairly week equipped. Quiet and peaceful.

Stayed Jul 25, 2025The Cottage by the Sea was perfect for the two of us and our dog. We were met on arrival for access to the property. Were were also sent a text with lots of recommendations for hikes, activities and dining. We had no need for any further contact as there were no issues. The Fiscalini Ranch Preserve was very close for hiking the dog. Hiking on streets down to the Bluff Trail, across and back was a nice 3.7 mile hike with some hills. The cottage was clean and inviting. The deck looks across to a wooded lot and was relaxing. We cooked a few breakfast and dinners in the kitchen. We had everything we needed. We BBQ'd chicken and corn on the cob down in the patio. The BBQ utensils were available in the patio. The king bed was comfortable with lots of pillows. There were two other beds for sleeping which we did not use. The bathroom was large and clean with a double sink vanity and a large shower. There were extra linens and towels available. We were overall very happy and would stay here again.

Stayed May 2, 2025This Cottage excelled in every way. Instructions were clear and easy to follow. This Cottage had everything we needed. Super clean and spacious. Within minutes we had our luggage put away in the large closet, bathroom (double sink), and dresser. But here's the best part...our host, Alex was generous and attentive. The TV's had every channel or App you needed to watch movies or your favorite shows. Incredible tranquility and quiet. We slept wonderfully on the King Size bed. Parking was right there and safe. Think about it - most hotels require parking fees, but not Cambria Weekend Magic. We made breakfast each morning and saved on going out. Minutes from Moonstone Beach and Downtown Cambria, as well as the wonderful stores, shops, and restaurants. On Friday night, kick it at the Cambria Lodge for Live music and dancing. I am in the 90th percentile of GOOGLE reviews. And I should not be telling you all this, but this is my highest VRBO recommendation. Everything worked. And there were all the supplies you could need to maintain the comfort and cleanliness of the home. Thank you, Alex. Sincerely, Martha & VictorSee you again soon...!

Stayed Apr 14, 2025We absolutely love the place. It was clean, as advertised and very close to downtown. One thing that i never thought about was the unit being on the second floor but we managed. Thanks, Alex, for the wonderful stay.

Has pretty much everything we needed with the exception of some kitchen tools, but overall, we were super happy with our stay!

Stayed Dec 12, 2024The apartment was in a great location for what we wanted to do and see. It was close to downtown Cambria and a few hiking trails. As well as close to other locations for visiting tourist sites, shopping and hiking. The apartment was fully stocked with dishes, towels, etc. (We didn't need a thing) It had a washer and dryer so we were able to continue our trip with clean clothes. We would definitely stay there again should be return to this part of California.

Stayed Nov 1, 2024My life-long best friend had been facing ongoing stresses and issues for such a long time; the final straw was the recent passing of her closest confidant, her dad. Although she never complained, she needed a quiet, peaceful, meditative break from her very hectic life. Thank you so much for providing it with your lovely home! Though short, the visit was rejuvenating and exactly what she (we!) needed to face whatever is next in our respective lives. (I personally hope to return with my husband and daughter to this wonderful haven in the near future!) Many thanks!

Stayed Sep 16, 2024We have nothing but good things to say about Alex's Cottage by the Sea and Trails. The check-in process was easy - Alex even sends a video so you can see how to get to the entry. The rooms were clean and spacious, and we loved the deck and the beautiful, wide view from the living room windows. It was really nice to have a full kitchen, with refrigerator, oven, microwave, and sink. The location is great. Even though it's on a corner and Ardath Street does have a fair amount of traffic, it was never noisy or distracting. The Fiscalini Preserve is easily close enough to walk to and the property is a quick drive from businesses and restaurants in Cambria and close to Cayucos and Morro Bay. Alex is a perfect host, who communicates well and makes sure your needs are met, while still respecting your privacy. We loved our stay and want to return soon.

Stayed Sep 5, 2024This property is great. It matches the listing. No surprises. Clean, well stocked, comfortable bed. The kitchen has sharp knives and was stocked for people who like to cook. Overall, a great experience. Alex was accessible and gave great tips on hikes, beaches, and restaurants. Be sure to watch the video prior to arrival as cell service is spotty and the entry into the property is not obvious. Would rent again!

Stayed Aug 17, 2024My husband and I wanted a quiet place to stay for a couple of nights while we explored the Pacific Coast. We were very happy with this location. It was very quiet and easy to find. We were given detailed instructions before we arrived so that we knew exactly how to get into the property. Everything was very clean and comfortable. The pictures were an accurate portrayal of what you will get. We were there without our children, however we would have been comfortable with our two teenagers for a couple of nights. The hosts gave us a lot of great ideas for things to do in and around Cambria, which we really appreciated. Cambria is a fun seaside town, and the beach there is a fun one to walk. We had everything we needed for our two night stay, and we would recommend it to others looking for something similar.

Stayed Jul 28, 2024The property is clean, private, comfortable, and quiet. It was a very short walk to the large Fiscalini preserve, which provides numerous walks/hikes that span forest and coastline. Absolutely beautiful. Alex was super responsive and provided us tips on where to go and where to eat. We had one minor issue during our stay that he helped resolve immediately. In addition to Cambria, the location was a perfect base for us to visit Hearst Castle, Paso Robles, and Morro Bay. One hint:pack lots of layers. It was 80 degrees and sunny at Hearst Castle, and 55, windy, and foggy in the morning and evening along the coast. Overall, a great stay! Thank you Alex and Jessica!
