About this house rental
No Pets Allowed. From the rooftop patio jacuzzi, you can watch the dolphins frolic, the whales migrate and the otters pounding rocks on their tummies. This spacious, well appointed 3 bedroom (k,q,2t), 2 1/2 bath home offers a wonderful vacation escape. The kitchen with granite counters and stainless appliances lends itself to preparing wonderful gourmet meals, or maybe a chef to come in and prepare and serve your meal in the dining room while you gather outside to watch the sunset. The house is within a block of the sand and tide pools and a short drive to town. Fall asleep to the sounds of the waves and the seals. A magnificent home. Waterfront Nearby (walking distance), patio and roof top spa, ocean views, tv, vcr, dvd, CD player, wireless Internet, gas fireplace, gas BBQ, washer / dryer, dishwasher. TOT#0000560

Overall great location and nice house. Only downside is that I was informed the hot tub wouldn't be functional as the heat pump broke and needed to be replaced. Luckily they informed me the day before it would be functional. Unfortunately it wasn't functional which was disappointing. I had asked if they would be willing to have the owner extend a discount (I realize there is no obligation to do so) but I didn't hear back from them before I checked out. I think that would have been a nice gesture as the hot tub was key selling point in renting this property.

Best choice you can make in Cambria.

Great property, hot tub on roof is the best !
You can see every star if it wasn’t for the wind we would have been in there longer.
We will book again
Thank you for a great property in Cambria

The stay was great! We love Cambria and the proximity to the bluffs was perfect. The hot tub was slightly murky at check in, but overall an incredible stay. Would definitely come back.

Very nice property with lovely views of the ocean from the rooftop & upper living area. Nearby walking trails & lots of wildlife to see. A bit remote but still relatively close to food & shops but phone reception was nil even with WiFi connection. Property was nicely maintained & comfortable, although slightly outdated. Enjoyed our stay here!

Wonderful time in a lovely home close to the beach with all the amenities ❤️😊

Such an excellent location yielding great views and very quiet. A block or two from the ocean and from the land preserve and hiking trails. You will see deer and other wildlife all day long. House is kept up very nicely and has everything you will need.
Kudos for the owner and property manager.
PS… the outdoor grill is gas, you will not need to bring charcoal or lighter fluid

A group of 5 of us stayed at Dolphin Dreams and it suited our group perfectly. We had an issue with the downstairs bathroom by the management company took care of it. House is well kept even if dated and the location is excellent!

The house, location, and hot tub on the roof were great. The furniture seemed mismatched and outdated, but we still give it 5 stars.

Great location and living room view
The property with ocean view is bright with well equipped kitchen. The living room is spacious and very relaxing, In addition the Fiscalini Ranch Preserve trail is just 50 steps away. The trail goes along the coastline is carpeted with wild the flowers and interesting plants in June. And the tidewater pools by the trail are full of amazing sea critters.

The location and view was spectacular. But the BBQ didn't light. My husband had to use a piece of burning cardboard to get it going. The hot tub(the reason for booking this place) took over 12 hours to get up to temperature so it wasn't usable for half our stay.

Overall, the property was beautiful. We mainly rented it for the hot tub. However it's on the roof, so there is another flight of stairs to climb, you're completely exposed to other neighbors and have no privacy. The kitchen is spacious but the living room has a very limited view of the ocean. Gorgeous garden area in the back, but can only get to it from the side garage door or you go through the downstairs bedroom. It's a beautiful house, I love that it had 3 restrooms, it just wasn't what I was looking for.

We had a great trip! House was very clean. Are only issue was there was no instructions on the jacuzzi and it took a long time to heat up. The display on the jacuzzi was confusing and we had concerns if we had turned it off. Management company was helpful but their lock to lockbox was difficult to open.

Very clean, nice views, close to water. I do wish that that the rental company would use a more updated system for retrieving keys/checking in. The lock is hard to work and I’m sure it’s troublesome for many people. The only minor issue with the property was no TV because the network had been disconnected from the internet and we had no instructions as to how to connect it. It was not a big deal since we don’t watch much Tv and it was a short stay.

Reviewer Comments:
the house is very nice, nicely styled and decorated, the deck and roof spaces are really good, the location is great, it was well-prepared for our arrival and the property management company was easy to deal with. However, the TV reception was frequently broken up and pixelated, the internet access was very spotty, up and down all day. These may be more cable/ISP provider issues, but they should be disclosed so people know what to expect. Not a big problem for a short stay but could be annoying for a longer stay - especially the unreliable internet access.

Dolphin Dreams was even better than the photos. The sunset view, free roaming deer and weasels, coupled with proximity to the ocean and trails was nothing less than spectacular. The beds were comfortable and the house was clean with all the amenities and kitchen appliances. We loved our tome in Cambria and are already looking forward to a return trip.

Overall very pleasant stay. Beds were comfortable and we slept well. Neighborhood was quiet. Very close to Fiscalini. Kitchen was well equipped, though the occasional ants were annoying. The barbecue did not cook well, since it had difficulty getting to 400 degrees. Family room fiurniture was not very comfortable

This is a wonderful vacation rental-the house is gorgeous and the view from the roof and balconies is incredible. The property was extremely well maintained and very clean when we arrived except for ants, which were present and occasionally showed up in significant numbers. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware and utensils and all the appliances worked perfectly and were clean and quite nice. The hot tub on the roof is fabulous and really makes the house unique and worth it. All the beds, bedding, towels, were great!
My only complaint would be the TV set up. The TV is quite small and there is only cable, no streaming services that we would have signed in to. We would have liked to watch movies at night with our kids, but the current TV just didn't lend itself to that. Other than that, it really was a great rental and I would definitely stay here again!

Loved our stay in this house. A great place to relax and spend time together. Just steps away from the bluff trail at Fiscalini Ranch where we took sunset walks and had lots of sightings of sea otters and seals. Close to Moonstone Beach. And what could be better than a rooftop hottub with ocean views?
