About this property

Entire place

Historic Gem

This gem is in the middle of the action. Walking distance from restaurants, shops, antiquing, wine tasting, nature walks and the beach. What a great place to maintain or get back that peaceful state of mind we are all searching for these days.

This charming house has all the amenities to make your get away a magical experience.

If you like to people watch or look at nature, the only thing you need to do is decide if you want to sit in the front of the house or the back of the house.

Perfect location in the perfect coastal town
This was my second visit to Cambria. My previous visit was a stay at one of the small hotels along the beach. Staying at The Yellow House on Main was much preferred! Having the shops outside the door, along with great food options, was lovely. I did still walk to Moonstone Beach (got 10k steps in before 8:15 am)! The house was clean with great amenities, the host was communicative, and the policies clear and easy to follow. Can’t wait to return!

Perfect location
Clean, comfortable, welcoming! The Yellow House on Main is located in the middle of downtown Cambria, with easy access to a great coffee shop and restaurant directly across the street and many cute stores along both sides in both directions. Tristan is an excellent host who communicates well with you and works hard to make sure you enjoy your stay. April is such a pretty time to visit, cool weather, sunny skies, everything green. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Perfect location in town
Close to nearby shops and restaurants. The only issue was the steep driveway which was somewhat difficult due to rain and water running off the hill. A good place to start and come home to after a day of exploring. Great host. Well-equipped. Really enjoyed our stay.

Perfect Stay w/dogs
Super cute Victorian house. Our 2 Frenchies (dogs) loved the space, they had all the essentials needed for them. Big plus was the doggie door that leads to the secure back yard for potty. Although the house is on Main Street it’s away from the street so you don’t really hear people walking by. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Loved our time there and hope to return!
