Great property in wonderful location

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: We really enjoyed our time here. The property is really nice but the best feature is the location on the edge of Fiscalini. We did lots of walks right from the front door. When we are next back in Cambria we will definitely try and rent this property again.

Great location for this cute home. Loved the access to the Fiscalini Preserve. The home worked well for 3 generations, and the hot-tub was an added bonus. This is an older property, but it had everything we needed

Great location

We liked that the home is located close to trails for walking and bike riding. The home was clean and decorated nicely. The only negative is that the hot tub didn't get as warm as we would have liked.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My friends and I just stayed here for the 2nd time, and have already booked it again for next year. It has become our happy go-to for our annual get-together. It's clean, bright, airy, quiet and serene. The front and rear garden areas are delightful - and lovely! There's a nature walk just across the road, plus the neighborhood is great to walk in. We absolutely love it!

Also, the master bathroom sink was clogged and slow to drain.

Reviewer Comments: We've stayed in this lovely house before but two things have gone down hill. 1) Hot tub was so dirty it was unusable. 2) AC was not functioning.The house was very clean and we would stay here again, assuming the broken AC and dirty hot tub were taken care of.

Great Girls Get Away

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: Our group of 5 women were looking for a get away and found this house on Vrbo. It truly was "A Gift from the Sea". Plenty of space for all of us. Lovely patios and even their neighbors were friendly. They had a brand new BBQ too. We didn't end up using the spa. To make it perfect, it would be nice if the living room furniture was replaced or at least bolstered up. A few of the beds could be replaced as well. But overall we would stay there again. Easy check in/out at the management company too.

Ladies get away

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property though old was clean and comfortable. We were disappointed that the hot tub was not working. We arrived on Saturday so no one to call. This one of the reasons we selected this location. We did call left a message, returned on Monday. Sent the handyman out he was unable to fix the issue . We left on Tuesday.

Cozy and complete!

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: Traveling with a 2 year old we sought a 1-level home near Shamel Park snd the beach! We loved A Gift from the Sea! The front and back fenced areas were perfect with the little one. The hot tub a nice plus! Lovely flowers attracted hummingbirds and lizards! Both delightful! The kitchen has everything you need with generous extras. Three bedrooms and two baths very comfortable. With Fiscalini trails and views across the street location provided added appeal. We rode our bikes to moonstone beach, but needed a lift back up because of the steep hill. No problem! The rental company was very responsive with questions.

Wonderful Retreat by the Sea

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: This is a beautiful, large house near Cambria and Moonstone Beach. We loved the location - the entrance to Fiscalini Ranch is literally opposite the house and it’s also within walking distance to the beach. The house itself has a large living area, 3 good sized bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a functional kitchen and lovely outdoor space. The hot tub, off-street parking and laundry were also great additions. We will absolutely return in the future!

Single Story excellently Cleaned Property

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at this property three times now, and it continues to be immaculate and spotlessly clean upon entry. The single story layout is particularly great for an older couple or friends. The location is wonderful for seeing ocean views, and the restaurants to both sides of the town. We ate at Robin’s and Linn’s and the food was again wonderful. Robin’s was particularly adaptable and friendly to seating us immediately inside due to my partners’ use of a walker and inability to use the stairs. Inside the property again, bars would be a great safety feature inside the master bedroom’s shower. When we first arrived we called to have the shower door hung to move. In five minutes handyman arrived and fixed it. The living room furniture looked well taken care of; however the chairs and the couch were very difficult to get out of. Nonetheless, this is a perfectly located, and well cleaned property for a family or friends in their three bedroom home.Nonetheless it is clean,
