(Previous Guest Comments about the Wine Down Cottage by the Sea)


“This home has been upgraded and maintained in the manner I would maintain my own home. It was immaculately appointed.”

“Very classy place! We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.”

“The jacuzzi was awesome for warming up after an afternoon of tide pooling. We will definitely stay here again.”

“The house is scrupulously clean, furnished with comfortable and whimsical decor, and stocked with every conceivable convenience. We've rented many vacation homes with vrbo but have never enjoyed one more than this one.”

“We loved this home and it was perfect for our trip. The house was really comfortable for four people; we especially enjoyed cooking dinner in the immaculate kitchen. And our dog loved chasing after a tennis ball in the large side-yard!”

Great neighborhood
The home was not lacking in all necessities and in addition had good landscaping, spacious back yard with fire pit. Close proximity to Cambria Pines hotel and restaurant. The only negative was the uncleared plates for which the host was embarrassed because her cleaning person had recently experienced a family tragedy and my bed dipped where many others had slept before. Even so, the place provides a superior environment to spend several days.

We stayed for 4 days and enjoyed the back yard . Very relaxing. The house was lovely and had everything we needed. In the evening we relaxed and watched TV. The beds we so comfy. The only thing we didn't care for was the firestation next door was fairly noisey, not all the time, but occasionally. Not enough that we would not stay there again.

The town and house was perfect. The yard being gated was a great peace of mind for our kids playing outside. Any questions or conversations were replied to very fast. Very clean and beautiful. Having it so close to everything made planning our days easier and more efficient. Would definitely stay here again.

AWESOME
Perfect! Everything we could have wanted was there at the house. The owners made the extra effort to consider every need (or want) of a potential renter. All the spices needed for meal preparation were provided. We used the clean gas grill, sat at the fire pit on the cool evenings, and soaked in the hot tub. The location is perfect and comfortably fit our oversized truck in the driveway. It is conveniently located near downtown and the beach. We plan on staying longer next time!

Comfortable and Inviting
We came to Cambria, having never stayed here before. We enjoyed the town including several restaurants and loved the cottage. It was so comfortable from the minute we walked in - nicely decorated and well appointed. I'd say the only negative was the cool weather which kept us from enjoying the firepit and outdoor seating as much as we wanted to. We definitely would love to return to the Wine Down Cottage. Thank you Diane and Ralph

Beautiful, centrally located, light-filled cottage with large yard
This was our second time at the lovely Wine Down cottage. It was even better than i remembered from the last time. We stay in Cambria for a month. This time, our adult children and their partners came to visit for a week(2 stayed at the Cambria Pine Lodge across the street from the cottage. It was very convenient). Because the "kids" came to the house, we all used the many amenities that Diane and Ralph provide for their guests. We had a fire in the fire pit, soaked in the relaxing hot tub, and played bags(corn hole). We also had our dogs with us. They very much approve of the large, securely fenced yard. The cottage is fully updated and filled with light. It has an open floor plan that is very convenient for visiting with our family. The house is immaculate. The kitchen is fully stocked with every convenience, the beds are comfy and the bathrooms are beautifully appointed. Diane and Ralph were very quick to respond to any questions we had. They are excellent hosts! If they allow us, we would love to stay at the Wine Down Cottage on our next trip to Cambria.

Amazing home in Cambria
We loved this cottage in Cambria, it was extremely clean & the backyard grill & hot tub very were nice features. The best thing about it was the kitchen; which was the best provisioned I have ever seen in a VRBO. We enjoyed cooking & hanging out while also exploring the Cambria & San Simeon. The owner was easy to communicate with; all and all a wonderful stay.

A welcoming home away from home
We were in Cambria for almost a week, and the Wine Down house was wonderful! Diane, our host, was very welcoming, too. The house had everything we needed, was central to town, Fiscalini, and the beach. It was so easy to get around because of the location. My dog loved the big yard - there was plenty of room to throw the ball with a fire pit in the middle. And, plenty of seating was provided. An added bonus - because the house was near a hotel, we got to spend a couple of the evenings listening to the live music at the hotel. We had a fabulous time.

Enchanted Cottage
It may be the Wine Down Cottage but to our family it felt like an Enchanted Castle in the woods.The property has spectacular sunset views and the nightly stars in the sky. The accommodations were clean and fitting for the space making everything feel open and airy. Diane and Ralph really go above and beyond to cover all your needs for cooking/creating masterpiece meals in the rather large kitchen although most of our meals we used the BBQ outside to enjoy the fresh air and play with our furpups whom absolutely loved the spacious yard. The decor inside and out is very fitting for the wine down cottage and is done very tastefully. They Superb host who answers all questions promtly. It was like our home away from home and We look forward to another stay in the near future. 💜

Perfect family getaway
The host was amazing and gave us a call right after. Check into the ensure we made it and had everything we needed. She gave suggestions of places to go and restaurants to eat at. The home was perfect for our family and two little dogs. The backyard was amazing and split up into two sections. The main yard had a wood fire pit with a boat that my daughter enjoyed playing on there was a side yard off of the master bedroom that was additionally gated that had plenty of seating, a hot tub and a propane fire pit. The beds were comfortable and adequate seating throughout the home, even though we spent majority of our time outside in the yard. Would stay again! The town is a little bit sleepy and a lot of the shops and restaurants do close early so important to make note of that in case that is important to you. Also, the town doesn't have a major grocery store or drugstore, so you might want to plan ahead and stop in Paso Robles before continuing to Cambria. Not a deal breaker but just something to know in case you're looking for having a nice dinner at home.

This was a very cool house. Large backyard where our grandkids could play when they came to visit with a nice fire pit and plenty of chairs for entertaining. The hostess thought of everything from s’more sticks, firewood and coffee condiments to spices for BBQ and a very nice BBQ. Cambria Pines Lodge was a short walk down the street and moonstone beach was a 2 min drive. We will book this darling house again.
