Had a nice stay. Loved that the house was nicely decorated as many Vrbos don't bother with the ambiance. The yard was fully enclosed but just dirt and leaf litter which was okay cause it didn't rain but could have been baabapppppppproblemproblemotherwise.

We loved this home. We have stayed all over Cambria and used Scenic Coast for all our bookings. The home offers a lovely covered and uncovered deck and expansive views to the west. You can even see Hearst Castle when its clear. The neighborhood is fun to walk to around in and we easily drove to the beach and/or west and east villages in no time. It is also a nice quiet dark neighborhood with little light pollution at is dog friendly and the fenced yard was great for our large dog. The only issues were that the bed in the primary suite is a queen and there is no door, just two curtains. This offers little privacy and a king bed would offer more comfort. The kitchen is great and provided us with all the necessary utensils and appliances. This home is lovely and has obviously been loved by the owners who have taken care of it while also renting it out to families like ours.

My wife and I have been coming to Cambria for 25 years. We almost always stay in a different rental house when we come. The Skyhigh Retreat did not disappoint. Plenty of room for us, our 20 year old daughter, and our two dogs. Love the fenced in back yard! We love the area, too, because of all the wildlife we get to see: deer, hawks, wild turkeys, hummingbirds, and swallows are some faves. The kitchen had everything needed to make a meal at home. We ended up eating out for every meal because we always want to hit our favorite restaurants when we’re in town: Linn’s for breakfast and desserts (and any meal, really), Main Street Grill for burgers and ribs, Friday afternoon farmers market for all sorts of goodies, Luigi’s pizza, Robins, Hidden Kitchen on the weekend, The Spot (Sweet & Savory Crepes!) Mezzo Italiano, Indigo Moon, so many favorites. One word of caution for potential renters: There are a lot of stairs to deal with at Skyhigh. It’s nice that you can park in the garage, and then it’s one flight of stairs up to the main living area (kitchen, living room, bathroom, and 1 bedroom). And then it’s another flight of stairs up to the third level to the main bedroom. Not really a problem for us once we were there, but not great when you’re lugging suitcases in and out. The house also needs a good power wash outside for all the dust and cobwebs all over the house and windows - but the new back deck was spotless, which was fantastic! Definitely recommend. Would definitely stay here again!

This home was a very welcome change of pace and scenery for a much needed refresh. Stayed in this home several years ago and nothing has changed except for the nice addition to the backyard deck. The home is very well cared for and in great condition. Extremely clean and well stocked for your basic necessities...bring a few groceries and you won't need to leave if you don't feel like it.The dog safe backyard is great if you are bringing dogs with you. Like the title, the open airy view provides the feeling of living in the treetops and the home design allows for plenty of light.We adventured out for daily walk/hike-abouts with our dogs and maybe a meal then back in the PM to a very comfy hangout. Highly recommend!

We have stayed at this house many times and the recent upgrades were a pleasant surprise. The house is always neat and clean and is fully equipped. While not being familiar ROKU TV made it difficult and a frustrating to watch TV.While the property management was professional if you do not like interacting with people. I prefer talking and meeting with the people I am dealing with. This might have been good during Covid, but not now! There was a small problem that looks like it resolved itself, but it would have been nice to communicate that upon check out.

We absolutely loved the house and the location. All the windows and natural light were our favorite part about this home. The bed was extremely comfortable and everything was very clean and cozy! The fenced in yard was great for our dog too

I felt like I was living among their trees and birds in this pleasant home. It was a wonderful stay—unless you hate climbing a few stairs. One thing I don’t like is how Vrbo is shortening stays with very late check-in times—and very early check-out times!

We enjoyed this property. Lots of light coming in upstairs with all the windows and a sky light, views, balconies for watching the stars, and a fully stocked kitchen. Very peaceful, and nice neighborhood for walks with the dogs. Very clean. Only thing to note is that the beds are not Kings, and my husband is tall so that wasn’t ideal. Also there are alot of stairs so harder for elderly dogs to go up and down (we have a very old senior so had to carry him up and down). Overall nice property and location.

They have great views, and comfort in the home with extra spices and other items in the kitchen to prepare your favorite meal. Electronics were good. The only thing that keeps it from a Five was the backyard was a little was a dirty, making it undesirable to sit in the backyard, although they did have nice amenities back there.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful home. The check in process was seamless, the property owners were responsive and the home was very clean. The neighborhood is quiet and within a short drive to the beach and downtown Cambria. The deck from this home provides a beautiful view of the surrounding foothills and is a great place to enjoy a cup of coffee or an early evening cocktail. We hope to visit this property again in the not too distant future.

We had a great stay in Cambria! The area was beautiful and the house was clean. Be prepared with groceries and supplies when you arrive! Everything closes early and we didn’t even have coffee in the morning. There isn’t a paved road directly in front of the property but the driveway is paved. There was also a power outage when we were there but the only flashlight was very old and we could not find replacement batteries. The view was amazing and there was wildlife that roamed through the neighborhood. Beautiful area, beautiful home, cute town!

We enjoyed our stay at the property. We have two kids (10 & 12) and a yellow lab. The yard was perfect for the dog(secure). Nice walks through the hood seeing turkey & deer before heading out for daily activities. Ideally located between Hearst Castle and SLO. Would stay here again.

This property is perfect for a family with kids or two couples. There is one bedroom upstairs with a full bath and one bedroom downstairs with a full bath. If you are two couples, you would have plenty of privacy. The location is marvelous, the house is spacious and very warm and inviting. Lots of amenities inside the house such as barbecue, outdoor furniture, games and it’s pet friendly. We had the very best of time.

We had a wonderful time in Cambria. Highlights: the elephand seals, walking around the Fiscalini Ranch, visiting the Stolo Winery and going to Hearst's Castle. This is our third stay at the Skylight Retreat and we love it.

We absolutely loved this house. It is convenient to town (3 minute drive). Quiet. And surrounded by local wildlife - wild turkeys and deer. Well suited with everything you need.Nice kitchen. Backyard is great for dogs with easy in/out and fully fenced in. Deck of living room is a great spot to sit with a glass of wine and look off in distance. Wait, is that Hearst Castle I see. Have been coming to Cambria for 10 years - hope to come to this house many more times.

We loved our week at Skyhigh in Cambria! The house was exceptionally clean and well appointed. The dog bowls were a nice touch and the view off the front deck amazing! We’re frequent Cambria visitors and will stay there again. The only critique I have is that the beds are queens (not king size) and very soft.

Reviewer Comments:
This house longs for updates. There is no sense that it's been attended to and it feels very outdated. If that doesn't matter to you the house is fine. There was lipstick on a glass in cabinet and other dishes needed to be cleaned before using. We rent a house rather than stay in a hotel so we can cook. This house has NO BOWLS, a poor selection of glasses and NO wine glasses! There is no way to light the grill!
The knives are not sharp at all. Downstairs bathroom exhaust fan doesn't work. There is no CURRENT info about Cambria or the surrounding area. We know there's wind but the deck hadn't been swept and it made it look like house wasn't quite ready for renters. The appliances work well and there are lots of lightbulbs!

We were all immediately pleased with the house. It is one of those houses that is obviously used by the owner for parts of the year, as they didn't skimp on the kitchen, furniture or other amenities. I've sighed many times at a rental unit where you look at the cookware and they are all scraped up low-grade teflon leftover from the 90s - but not this place! No, this rental is easy to cook, easy to relax, and easy to enjoy. The location is pretty but requires some driving to get to the beach, town or other attractions. The beds were a bit soft for my taste, and the downstairs shower controls needed some tuning, but we all had a great stay and would stay here again (and why not - Cambria is still beautiful, fun and comparatively undiscovered). It was also great that we could bring our dog. It can be really hard to find good places that allow the canines!

Excellent base camp for Cambria vacation, and bonus: with dogs!
