Magnificent Ocean Ranch Villa

The home was beautiful! Access to the beach and hiking areas was quick and simple. Thank you for the opportunity to stay. Our family thoroughly enjoyed!

Wonderful kitchen and views

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: WARNING: Do NOT stay here... unless you want peace, stunning sunrises, sunsets, and an incredible ocean view.Because that’s exactly what I wanted—and exactly what I got.Before booking, I read the negative reviews, so let me address a few things honestly: • Furnishings: Yes, some of the furniture is older. But considering how many guests cycle through, it makes sense they replace things when truly needed rather than constantly updating. • Décor: Not really my personal style—but it’s a vacation rental, not my home, so that didn’t bother me at all. • Beds: Very comfortable! I thought the master was supposed to have a king bed, but regardless, I slept great. • Location: Perfect. We specifically wanted a scenic coastal drive while still being close to San Luis Obispo, and this spot delivered exactly that. • WiFi: Strong and reliable throughout the house. • Kitchen: Absolutely a dream—well-equipped and a great space to cook and gather. • TVs: The only suggestion I’d make is adding TVs to all bedrooms since they’re fairly affordable now. • Cleanliness: The home was clean. A few spiderwebs here and there (it happens near the coast), but no spiders—and definitely no bird mess on the windows like some reviews mentioned.Overall, this place delivered exactly what we were looking for: peace, views, and a relaxing coastal experience. I would absolutely stay here again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay and booked again for next year. We agree with other reviews that the couches in the living room and TV room are very worn and uncomfortable. One of the chairs had large tears in the leather. The seating in the TV room is also uncomfortable and limited. The twin beds are not comfortable and could benefit from a topper. For a house this size there should be a TV in the living room. The kitched cookware is a bit limited, maybe add a couple of saucepans. Spending a little money for some better furniture and adding a TV in the living room would make it a 5-star rental. The patio doors were missing the stationary door latches, and they banged and blew open during the night while it was raining and windy. The blinds in the primary bath did not work. Overall, a decent rental.

This was one of the most fully equipped kitchens I've ever seen! The fireplaces are electric/gas and add a touch of coziness to the rooms. There are quite a few stairs though, something to keep in mind if you have limited mobility. But we appreciate it having rooms downstairs that were separate from the living room where we all congregated. I would happily stay here again!

Check in and check out were very easy. House is spacious, well appointed and the location is amazing. We only wish we had more time and could have stayed longer.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: For years, we have been renting vacation homes in Cambria, and this is the best one so far. The home is beautiful inside and out. And the kitchen is to die for. You can tell the owners took a lot of pride when building and designing the home. The garage door needs to be serviced because the control panel has a warning come up on the screen whenever it opens. It also has an automatic door close function within 1 minute that I had to turn off since it nearly came down on the rear hatch of my SUV when we were unloading the vehicle. And the 3 TV's in the home were small and outdated. Other than those issues, it was perfect.

Clean rooms & house, kitchen is amazing and huge. Front patio and views are awesome.

Reviewer Comments: This is our second time renting the Ocean Ranch Villa and we did so for an entire week and, honestly, could've stayed another three weeks. It's such a lovely and well appointed house with the most beautiful natural light and vaulted ceilings. Our family has been going to Cambria every year for the past 6 years and hope to return to the Ocean Ranch Villa soon! Unbeatable location and the perfect place for a family.

I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family and I stayed for a week and did enjoy the home, for the most part. Here are the pros and cons of the property:Pros- Great location - Partial ocean view- Good size for family gathering- Short walk to beach and Fiscalini RanchCons- Smoke detector chirping. Called to replace battery and did not receive a call back. - Dirty windows with bird droppings all over them- Bird droppings all over driveway- Driveway very steep and cars dragged when parking- Tired and dirty furniture- Several of the blinds did not work and could not left/open them- Broken screen - Dirty exterior, including the deck- Hot water did not work on left side sink, in primary bathroom- Twin beds in guest room were credit when sleeping on them

The house was in a perfect location for what we wanted to do. It was clean and well stocked. It could use some refreshing- especially the pillows! The front windows were full of bird poop - impacted the view. Cambria is a cute little place and we loved all the trails and access to the trails from the house.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location of this home, with the Fiscalini nature preserve on one side and a short distance to the ocean on the other, is spectacular. We love the layout of the home. The kitchen is extremely large. And it can sleep our extended family of 7. Some TLC is needed. The furniture upstairs is worn. Some mattresses need attention, especially on the fold-out, as others have noted. There are small issues: one of the bath drain handles does not work, downstairs sinks need regulators, etc. A basic Adirondack chair or two would make the deck more useful. The rental company was great as always.

Rented this home for my 70th Birthday. Family came to visit to help me celebrate. The home was lovely and large to accommodate a little celebration. The kitchen is awesome and plenty of room for those of us who were using it to not bump into each other. The bedrooms very comfortable. Slept well. Plenty of linens and the Kitchen has everything you need and then some. The location is the best. The backyard is the Fiscalini Ranch. Across the street is the ocean. Very lovely views. We had a lot of fun going on Fiscalini ranch walks. Shopping in town and dining was great. I was treated with a glass blowing lesson in nearby Harmony. It was fantastic. It was no problem to reach the Management Co. on the one occassion I did. It was an absolutely wonderful stay in a beautiful home in such a beautiful town.

My family wanted to spend a week together by the ocean. We were a family of 6, including my 6 year old grand daughter. The home is beautifully setup. There are dishes and cooking paraphernalia a-plenty! We had no problem cooking for ourselves and serving meals when we wanted to. We frequent the area of Cambria often and this property's location is perfect to get to the beach or in town for shopping or dinner. There is also several hiking trails that take you along the coast line or in the hills slightly. Being early June, we saw many spouts and fins in the ocean. Not sure if they were dolphins or whales. I even saw one breach! We plan to return to this property again!

I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We’ve been coming to the same house for several years. This trip was sad to see how the property has declined. One of the dining chairs was unsafe to sit in. The filters upstairs and downstairs for drinking water didn’t work. The water in the sinks downstairs was flood or none. The downstairs was dusty and caused some allergy issues. The furniture in the family room has seen better days. Carpet in master bedroom is dirty. Landscaping has been neglected. There’s more, but I think you get the point. Sad to say, we will not be back to this property. Location and views are nice, it’s just tired.

Cambria is an annual getaway for several of just-us-girls. This year only 3 of us could make it, but it was still fun. Rummicube afternoons, a puzzle going all week. Cooking for just us girls, not picky family. And this house is perfect for all. We set up our puzzle in the Fiscalini view breakfast nook. This house has a giant dining room table. We kept a game of rummicube set up all week on one end, and kept the opposite end for dinners. And cooking in this kitchen is fabulous! It’s equipped almost as good as my own, we rarely want for anything. Each afternoon we take a walk through the Fiscalini Preserve - it starts just a block up from the house, but also runs all behind the house too. Most mornings and afternoons you can sit out on the deck and watch deer, and birds. The front deck is perfect for ocean view cocktails, as is the comfy living room. We do go out shopping, and occasionally enjoy the sights of Cambria, but coming back to this house everyday is such a treat!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My wife and I have been coming to Cambria for over 25 years. We even owned a vacation rental on Park Hill for several years. The Ocean Ranch Villa is probably the nicest house we've ever stayed in. We LOVED the HUGE kitchen - it's perfect for Thanksgiving or other holiday gatherings. The location is unbeatable: Ocean views out the front, Fiscalini Ranch views out the back. We love to hike Fiscalini when we visit so this location was extra special for us. The back deck was fantastic. Great place for morning coffee & breakfast - even in February! Although, we always make sure we hit Linn's for breakfast and sweet treats when we're in town. The Friday Farmers' market is great as well! One minor detail that could be improved: It would be great to have a TV in the main living room (connected to the dining area and kitchen). The current location in the small room in the back of the house isn't great for people who like to curl up on the couch in the evenings with a nice fire in the fireplace and a movie. We would happily stay here again any time!

The home was comfortable for our family. There are 2 bedrooms downstairs (one with 2 twin beds) a full bath and a large laundry room. Upstairs-living area, kitchen, a spacious primary suite, den/tv room with its own bathroom and another 1/2 bath outside of the primary bedroom. The views from the living area were beautiful, particularly at sunset. The morning light and views of Fiscalini were wonderful from the breakfast table and rear deck, so peaceful! We enjoyed our stay!

Lovely. Clean. Great location. Great ocean view. Visited for a wedding weekend.

A very large and elegant home in a beautiful neighborhood. Well supplied for any and all needs. Sea views from livingroom and master bedroom. Easy access to Fiscalinni Ranch walking trails. Even saw otter and whale spouts from the cliff trail.

Super nice property in a great area!

View incredible, but arrangement of bedrooms and bathrooms inconvenient for 3 people. Downstairs queen bedroom very noisy from water pipes being audible when any water being used. Thermostat not functioning due to lack of batteries. Double doors to deck on second floor wide open when we arrived.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My wife and I really liked the home overall, but I feel a little constructive critique is warranted. A beautiful and spacious home. Large living area, but in order to watch TV, you have to go into a small dark bedroom made into a family room to watch the TV. Would have been nice to have the TV in the actual living area. All the furniture was old. Not worn, but well used. We are in our 70's and found it hard to get out of the chairs and sofas because they were so low and soft. The mattresses in the bedroom with the 2 singles were really soft and the mattress in the other downstairs bedroom was rock hard. Master bed was fine. There was a leaky faucet in the master bath and one of the light switches was hot to the touch. Possible problem.All that being said, I would rent this place again because of the location and the fact that is was very clean and well stocked with anything you needed.
