We have rented a few houses in Cambria and this is so far the only one we would rent again. The location was great, just a short walk to Fiscalini Ranch Preserve! Also being able to see & hear the ocean from the house was wonderful! Just a short walk down to a great place to watch the sunset & get your toes in the sand!
The house could definitely use an update but that wasn’t a deal breaker. The hot tub had great pressure even with a few broken jets. Hot tub could use a little more privacy, but with all the lights off in the house & outside the stars at night are amazing!
The sheets in the upstairs bedroom are very soft! I wish I knew where they got them. Bed was a little firm for us but not too bad.
Nice to have a garage we could park in, pro-tip: park diagonally! Garage door might need a new battery soon, it was slow to respond ;-)
My biggest complaint was some of the windows were in bad shape, one actually was coming apart & almost all of the windows we wanted to open had large holes in the screens. The blinds & the windows were very dusty & had a good amount of cobwebs, which is disappointing when staying in a house filled with windows by the ocean, but we managed.
The house is pet friendly, which is great for us, but unfortunately the carpets reflect it. The carpets were so filled with stains that we didn’t even want to walk barefoot. They may not all be pet stains, but if the house is left closed up while the sun is out, there is a certain odor. Also, carpet in one of the bathrooms is just an odd choice, at least in my book. You are just asking for smells & stains! Yuck! I never understand why people who rent out their home to people, especially people with pets have carpets…just rip it out & go with laminate, wood or tile & call it a day!
I hope they fix the screens & get rid of the carpet, but even if they don’t, we will probably stay here again. The neighborhood is quiet & friendly & the location for us is great. We love Cambria & until we can buy our own home there, we would happily stay here again. Thank you for the hospitality.
