My neice and I had a lovely stay at Capercallie Cottage. The property was as described, clean, quiet and well maintained. The neighborhood is beautiful. The beds were excellent. The view from the upstairs deck, which is accesible from the living area or the upstairs bedroom, is amazing and we enjoyed being there. The downstairs bedroom has a deck too. The area is pretty hilly and the driveway is indeed steep. I checked with the management company and they said it was okay to park in the street (which few people do in that area). This worked well. We were a quick drive to all the delights of Cambria. The management company was excellent and helpful. I recommend this cottage and would stay again.

We spent a week at Capercaillie Cottage. It was clean and gave us the things we needed to enjoy our stay. While it is not as well appointed as many homes we have rented, it met our needs as a couple. New fluffy towels and washcloths would be appreciated.

Comfortable, clean and convenient location to the Fiscalini Ranch Preserve with excellent hiking trails, short drive to Moonstone Beach, Hearst Castle and the Elephant Seal Sanctuary and only a couple miles to the center of town in Cambria. The appliances worked great and we had everything we needed to cook our meals, do our laundry and could even watch the local news in the morning if we woke up in time. We enjoyed the views of the ocean from the deck and watching the deer graze on the back lawn. The bed was comfortable, and we had lots of closet and bureau space to store our clothing. We would definitely rent again from Breen Vacation Station in the future. Valerie & Michael

The home was comfortable and spacious in a very quiet neighborhood, with plenty of deer as an extra attraction. The use of the garage was nice. Unfortunately, the washer was unavailable for use. Also unfortunate was the uncooperative weather, which limited the view of the sea from the house. Cambria is a nice town to visit, not far for those interested in seeing Hearst Castle. Property staff were very friendly and made checking in very easy.

Great little getaway
We had a wonderful time exploring the area and seeing the elephant seals. Property was clean and had a great view off the deck. Stairs and railings are not great for kiddos and it was a steep walk to and from the ocean.

Great getaway in Cambria! Love the sound of the ocean and wind blowing through the pine trees! Hard to find that combination. Very peaceful and relaxing.

Nice clean house. Relaxing stay. Driveway very steep
Nice clean house. Can hear the ocean. House is dated (think visiting your Grandparents) and upstairs furniture should be replaced because not comfortable. Beds are comfortable and bedrooms and bathrooms and clean spacious. Rental company was easy to do business and very accommodating w/ our early check-in needs. They even gave us winery suggestions that were of great help for planning our getaway. Would stay at this home again.

Cambria-a lovely place
Tranquil vista from the deck. Very quiet at night. Walking distance to breathtaking views of the ocean. The Fiscalini Ranch Preserve is a 20 minute walk and a wonderful place to walk/run.
We had a very restful time and decompressed. Will return again.

Chilling out in Cambria
This cottage was ideal fro a three person group. The neighborhood was foresee and quiet with morning visits by a Mule dear and her two babies. There was a view of the ocean from the balcony and the cool fog in the morn inns and sunny afternoons were a pleasant change from the heat of Eastern Los Angeles County in August. We enjoyed visiting the natural wonders up and down the coast and Cambria is a quaint little town with friendly people and all you need a few minutes drive form the cottage. All in all an excellent vacation.

This was an amazing stay. While Cambria was pretty foggy during our stay, the wooded neighborhood was quiet and scenic. Lots of wildlife (deer and turkeys) roamed freely, totally uninterested in us humans.
The house was clean and equipped with everything needed. No worries on bathroom tissue and paper towels (plenty supplied), so while we brought some of our own, it wasn't needed. Bedding was clean and fresh.
Two items of caution: 1. Spotty cell phone service, but there is a land line for local calls, which did come in handy a few times. 2. TESLA car owners beware of scrapping the bottom guards. The driveway going down to the garage is steep and has a high curb, that will scrape your wheel well guards. Approach with caution. I was able to enter the driveway at an angle approach from (I believe the south end of the driveway) without scrapping the bottom. However, reverse out of the garage and driveway taking it an an angle, I was not successful in not scrapping. Do it with caution and at an angle to minimize the scrapping. 3. EV car owners in general - The outlets in the garage are 120 BUT do not run the furnace OR hairdryers if you are plugged in to charge. It breaks the circuits.
Overall I gave 4 stars, but only due to the EV charging and driveway issues. Everything else was 5 stars.

Reviewer Comments:
This property is cozy and comfortable, but not for guests that have any physical limitations where getting up and down stairs is a challenge. The location is very quiet, and the limited view of the ocean is majestic. We enjoyed the experience of being able to enjoy the abundant wildlife in the area. We were disappointed that there was very little cabinet space to store groceries, hence most of our groceries were stored on the kitchen counter during our two week stay. The wide screen television was not HD Quality, so the television time was somewhat compromised. As avid Bar-B-Q and outdoor grilling enthusiasts, we were disappointed that the grill was not in working order. I had thought there might be issues with this property when we reserved it in May for our July vacation. In fact, I asked the management company why the property was priced the as low as it was. I think I now have the answer to that. We will not be requesting reservations to this property again.

All of the people I spoke to at Breen Vacation Rentals whether it was thru email or in person were very helpful and prompt at replying. We drove up to the house and at first glance it was a bit plain. Once we were inside it was clean and comfortable. It served all of our needs and had a beautiful view of the ocean and forest. The kitchen was well equipped with the kitchen basics that you need such as a sharp cutting knife, tea pot, pans etc. We enjoyed the fireplace, but would suggest some fire tools to move logs and paper around since none of that was provided.
Our family loved the location and walking thru the neighborhood, along with beautiful coastal access points. The neighborhood was quiet & peaceful. We took walks everyday and especially loved seeing the wildlife, (wild turkeys roam the neighborhood, deer, rabbits etc.). This was truly a great trip.

This is a basic rental. We enjoyed our stay overall. We appreciated the view of the ocean and the quiet neighborhood. The negatives included: a clogged tub drain that we needed to clean to use; no TV downstairs; no curtain or shade for kitchen window; and internet was out of service for over 24 hours at one point.

We left our home for daughter and family to quarantine after driving back from Florida where they lived the past 9 months. Two weeks at the beach, nothing to do but what hubby and I wanted, and we could walk anytime of day and not deal with the heat.
This home is a great location for walking along the coast - 2 local preserves, roads with interesting homes, plus multiple other locations north near the elephant seals and south overlooking Cayucos Bay and further south to Montana de Oro.
Although it was only 2 of us, the house is a perfect setup for 4. The house had everything we wanted/needed, an easy partial view of the ocean, nice neighbors, and great beds. What more could we want?
We have been uber careful during this world pandemic but felt safe and comfortable in our home for 2 weeks. We did experience the smoke of fires from far north but that was true throughout California.

Ok little place
Nice little place. Steep driveway; bedrooms in different levels. You have to pick up key at management office in town (and drop off when you leave). Garage door opener did not work. Called twice about it. Someone came and said that it would be fixed the next day. Did not happen.

Fire Evacuation
Property was great. Would make a great vacation stay, we unfortunately rented it at the last minute because we needed to evacuate from the SCU Lightning Complex fire. We rented for the internet, to do remote work. It was spotty. Suggest the owners look at getting a new WIFI router.
