The host was absolutely amazing! She was helpful, thoughtful in giving tips for the property and the place was pristine, organized and well stocked! The best place that I have rented! Thank you 😊

Micheleen's house was exactly as listed: spacious and well-designed for a serene stay in Cambria, located in a quiet neighborhood that's a quick drive to downtown, the beach, or hiking. But what you can't tell from the listing is how incredibly thoughtful and detail-oriented the hosts are. The kitchen is stocked with cooking/baking staples, there are guides to the area, and there are cozy accommodations inside and out on the patio. And Micheleen is an excellent communicator and incredibly helpful! I would recommend to anyone.

We stayed at this wonderful property while visiting our son in San Luis Obispo and it could not have been more perfect! The balcony deck was amazing, the kitchen had everything we could possibly need, the beds were very comfortable, and the décor is just adorable. Micheleen clearly put her heart into this property and she is a wonderful host.

We really enjoyed staying at the property. It was good for us (both couples) to hang out and BBQ together after coming back from Heart Castle. Our bed (King bed) was super comfortable and the kitchen was loaded with everything you could possibly want to use to cook! Plus, the property is only 4 minutes away from Downtown Cambria, which has a ton of cute restaurants and shops to explore.
Micheleen was amazing with her communication throughout the entire process. We would be happy to stay here again if we ever come back to visit!

We had a fabulous stay. The house is beautifully decorated and clean. Beds and sheets were clean and comfortable. Curtains blocked out the sunshine in the morning which we appreciated since not all homes have them. Micheleen contacted us well in advance with detailed instructions and check-in was smooth. She also provided a binder with instructions on how to use everything and recommendations of food, activities, etc. Super helpful. The kitchen is fully stocked with any appliances, spices and kitchenware you would need along with special added touches like providing filtered water for the morning coffee. The house was a quick drive to downtown and the beach. We liked how quiet it was. My daughter loved the bean bag chair and the surprise crayons and coloring books under the coffee table!! What a happy discovery!! We really appreciated the level of detail, thoughtfulness and care Micheleen takes to make sure visitors enjoy their stay here. We hope we can come back next year.

Cozy and Wonderful
From the moment we arrived we felt like we were home. The bedrooms were spacious, nicely decorated and the beds wonderfully comfortable. My son ended up using one of the inflatable beds and slept very comfortably. There were plenty of extra sheets, blankets and pillows. We ended up cooking breakfast and the kitchen had everything we needed from tableware to pans to spices. Felt like I was in my own kitchen cooking a meal. The balcony and views were an absolute plus! We even saw wild turkeys on our last day right outside the house. This place is definitely special and you can tell so much time and thought went in to making this home truly a gem. Thank you for a most wonderful stay Micheleen and making us feel so welcome! We can't wait to return!

Super Cute & Clean getaway
Had a great stay in Cambria for the weekend. Home was very close to downtown, walking trails and beach access. Evenings were cool and we really enjoyed the gas fireplace, Morning Coffee and afternoon wine on the deck with great views of the hills to the East. Can't wait to return again.

Lovely stay for two couples
I really enjoyed staying at Micheleen's property! It was a perfect spot for two couples. Micheleen gave me all the info I needed for a smooth checkin and left a yummy bottle of wine for us to enjoy. Her kitchen is very well stocked and was great for cooking simple meals. The beds were super comfy and I slept well. It was a short drive to the ocean and downtown Cambria, great location.

Cozy Cambrian
This is our second stay at the Cozy Cambrian, and the name says it all! This lovely home is so inviting and meticulously well kept. Micheleen has done an amazing job at making you feel comfortable and welcomed. It’s like you’ve known her for years and you’re just a guest staying at her house. This cozy abode is well stocked and has everything you need to enjoy your stay. Checking in and out was a breeze. Micheleen will contact you well in advance with all the information you need, so there are no surprises. We most enjoyed sitting on the front deck watching the wildlife scurry about and having a glass of wine by the cozy fireplace in the evenings. Be on the lookout for wild Turkeys as they meander up and down the street, or the wild Deer grazing in the empty lots. Enjoy the beauty of the Fiscalini Ranch Preserve hiking trail and it’s amazing views of the Ocean and Landscape. Afterward, grab some lunch at the Moonstone Beach Bar & Grill. The Fish Tacos and Crab Cakes were delicious and for dessert try the Lava Cake, it’s soooo decadent! Also, try Linn’s Bakery for dinner, lunch or just dessert. Walk on Moonstone Beach, look for Moonstones or Sea Glass, you’re sure to find something unique. Take a stroll into town and visit the quaint shops. The people are so nice and there is something for everyone. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we’re already looking forward to our next trip. Thank you Micheleen for being such a great Hostess and for sharing your lovely home! Will see you soon! Blessings!

Great Cambria Home!
The home is better than described. It’s lovingly cared for with nice decorative touches, and it shows. Extremely clean and comfortable — everything was in perfect working order and easy to use. Communication with the owner as well as directions at the home were straight-forward, thoughtful, and helpful. The home is in a quiet neighborhood easy driving distance to beach, shops, restaurants. I highly recommend a stay here!

Cozy and charming
I have stayed in rental houses all over the country and world…loved loved loved this house! Absolutely cozy on chilly rainy winter days. So sorry the weather wasn’t warmer because the deck and view are wonderful. The hostess, Micheleen, is so attentive and thoughtful. She decorated the living area for Christmas which was so nice for us being away from home. She was also immediately responsive to any questions I had. The house is in a great spot for easy access to Cambria and Hwy 1. I will absolutely stay here again…can’t wait!

Look No Further
All I can say is WOW! The photos do not do this home justice. All I would need to do is pack my clothes in order to live here. Everything you need is available, especially in the kitchen. I particularly enjoyed the spice cabinet. Come and see why. Comfort is abundant and the view from the desk area would make working hard because all you'd want to do is stare out the window! Beds are comfortable, linens are top of the line and Micheleen was easy to communicate with. WE WILL BE BACK!

Great stay
We wanted to stay somewhere where we could make trips up to Big Sur and Paso Robles and this was the perfect location. This is probably also the most well equipped and cleanest place we have ever stayed at! The host was great and went above and beyond to be accommodating and helpful. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Perfect house for a getaway
We had such a lovely stay. Our girls enjoyed the games and coloring books, while we were able to spend time relaxing on the front balcony. The house is very close to the beach, Hearst Castle, and open space for hiking. This was definitely the neatest and cleanest home rental we've ever stayed in. The host was very attentive, super responsive, and also checked in with us via message during the weekend. We look forward to another stay in the future!

Weekend stay with kids
The house is on a quiet street with views of the hills to the southeast. We saw deer and turkey roaming the street. The house was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was extremely well equipped. The furniture on the deck is very nice, as well as the beach chairs and boogie boards available. A really nice find! Micheleen was very responsive, flexible, and accommodating: everything you want in a rental host.

Great home!
Super comfortable home tucked away in the foothills in Cambria. Pictures don’t do justice to the nicely decorated interiors! We enjoyed our time on the deck watching deer, wild turkeys and squirrels. Lots of amenities to make our stay in Cambria relaxing and fun. Highly recommend Micheleen’s home.

A Wonderful Vacation Home
This home was very comfortable, very clean, nicely furnished, and had everything we needed during a one week vacation in August. We went for several hikes on the bluffs overlooking the ocean which is very close to the house. We enjoyed walking on the boardwalk by Moonstone Beach, exploring the shops in Cambria and eating at some restaurants. We also had fish and chips twice at Giovannis in Morrow Bay and went to Avilla Beach. We also drove up north to see the elephant seals and went to Ragged Point where there are steep cliffs and great views. We really enjoyed the fresh cool air by the sea and our stay in this very nice house. We viewed deer and turkeys in the neighborhood.

A wonderful experience
This was the perfect house for 3 best friends looking for a weekend getaway during the pandemic. We were able to cook, watch movies, spend time together on the balcony, and spend some time in at the beach and downtown. The house is inviting, clean and cozy. Will definitely come again!

Excellent Cambria getaway
My friend and I stayed at this charming house for three nights. The house is great, perfectly outfitted with all the comforts of home. I will definitely be staying here again. The owner could not have been more helpful with getting us all the check in information ahead of our visit.

Perfect stay in Cambria!
The Cozy Cambrian was the perfect home base for us the explore Cambria and the incredible central coast area! Comfortable, clean, and beautifully decorated. You can tell the host has put a lot of time and care into making this the perfect vacation home. Plenty of linens and everything you could ever want in the kitchen including tons of spices. The kids enjoyed the board games and coloring supplies. We thoroughly enjoyed the San Simeon Bay trail hike that Micheleen recommended—stunning beauty! Don’t miss the elephant seals. I can’t imagine there’s a better place to stay in Cambria, or a better host!

Perfect Cambria Home Base and 'Retreat - Take it from a forma local
My husband and I stayed with my Sister and her husband at this comfortable home away from home while visiting our mother who lives nearby. It is perfect for two couples or a family to explore Cambria and the surrounding area, or just relax on the deck enjoying the wooded surroundings and hilly view during the day and starry sky at night. Like to cook? No problem. The kitchen has everything you need, even cake pans to bake a birthday cake. When it gets too chilly for the deck, it is comfy and spacious inside with games, a TV and a computer for entertainment. Micheleen was great with communication and a gracious host. I hope the house is available next time more than one daughter wants to visit Mom at the same time.

Lovely Stay
Our stay was a great experience! The place was very clean and well equipped with anything we might need! The neighborhood was quiet, but a short drive to the beach and the shops in Cambria. Micheleen was very nice and easy to communicate with. She provided a binder with clear instructions on how to operate everything in the house and points of interest in the area. We highly recommend staying here!

The place to stay in Cambria!
This property is incredible! I visited with my wife and another couple, and this was the perfect place to stay. We each had plenty of space without losing the cozy feel we wanted (in large part due to the incredible decor). We felt so at home sitting by the fireplace, looking out over the mountains through the beautiful windows. It couldn't have been a more pleasant or relaxing experience.
The only thing that outdid the property was Micheleen's helpfulness. She sent us a ton of great information on the area and things to do with a local's perspective. We took her up on several of her recommendations and were not disappointed. She was a great host and helped make our stay even more relaxing.

Perfect getaway!
We absolutely loved our stay in Cambria! First of all, the exterior photo of this home does not do it justice! We nearly passed on it because it looks so unusual - almost like you are looking at the back of a house, but don't be deterred!! This is one of the nicest, best maintained and decorated rental homes we have ever stayed in, for sure...and we've rented a BUNCH! You just don't find rental homes in such perfect, comfortable, cared-for condition, with such high quality fixtures, surfaces, and craftsmanship. It's like you are staying with FAMILY. The photos don't fully illustrate how thoughtfully and skillfully chosen all of the decorations and appointments are throughout this entire home, top to bottom. There is nothing in the home that is broken, or not working properly, like we find in most rentals. The owner, Micheleen, has done a terrific job.
Also, this home is more fully stocked with all of the comforts and supplies you'll need than any other home we've rented. The kitchen has just about every appliance and kitchen tool you'll need to cook or bake just about anything, including a vast selection of spices! Also included are things you usually just don't find in a rental, such as Ziploc bags, foils and wraps, cake decorating supplies, etc. The mini-bar is fully stocked with glassware, the living room is fully stocked with pillows, throw blankets, some games, books, a perfectly working desktop computer, etc., and the place is stocked with more than enough top quality towels and linnens.
The location is great. It's a nice, quiet neighborhood, very close to town. The view from the front of the home is beautiful - of forest and green rolling hills beyond.
The owner was super nice and helpful, and provided a bunch of info and links for sites to see and things to do in the area before our arrival. Check-in and check-out was super easy. We'll definitely be back. Thanks Micheleen!!

Very cozy, clean and well appointed
My wife and I have vacationed in Cambria many times. This home was the cleanest we have stayed in and equipped with everything that you might need. The sea side themed decor fits Cambria perfectly and the furniture was very comfy and cozy. All of the logistics were great and the location is just a short drive to the ocean, walking paths and all of Cambria’s shops and restaurants. We will definitely consider another visit.

Perfect Family Vacation
From start to finish, this was the perfect family vacation! Our host was amazing, quick to respond, and even offered many suggestions on what to do and where to go in the area. Her home is impeccably clean and beautifully decorated, full of little touches that made it the perfect getaway. It is located in a quiet, residential area that is close to many local places to explore. Thank you for making our stay one we will always remember. We hope to come back soon!

Exceeded Expectations
Over the years, we have stayed in many VRBO properties and have never been disappointed, this lovely house in Cambria is no exception. From the moment we made the reservation to check in, Micheleen was very responsive and offered to let us check in early. From the outside this lovely home is so welcoming, it’s tucked beneath a beautiful Redwood Tree that extends to the front deck, and sits across from a park-like setting. Upon entering the house, you feel as if you’re home. Micheleen welcomed us with a lovely card, a thoughtful gift, and left us a local Map to guide us around the area. This house is well maintained, uncluttered, well stocked and exceptionally clean. The decor and furnishings give the home a coastal-cottage vibe and it’s super cozy, especially at night when you light the gas fireplace. Micheleen has provided everything you need to stay in a home away from home. She provides an Ironing Board, Iron, Vacuum, Umbrellas, a Washer & Dryer, BBQ and so much more. The kitchen is fully stocked with cookware, dinnerware and everything else you might need to prepare your own meals. Both Bathroom’s are well stocked with essentials, the towels are super soft and there’re plenty of them. The Master Bedroom is so tranquil and inviting, Micheleen spared no expense in this area. The mattress and linen’s were luxuriously comfortable and much welcomed after a day of walking on the beach, or hiking the Fiscalini Trails. The front deck is spacious and the furnishings are comfortable. We sat out in the evenings with a glass of wine enjoying the various wildlife meandering about. We saw several Deer, Squirrels, Birds and Wild Turkeys around the house and roadway’s. We even spotted a few Whale spouts along the coastal trail. The proximity to town was convenient. We ordered take-out from local Restaurant’s, Linn’s was our favorite for dinner and dessert. The Cookie Crock Market had everything else we needed for our stay. There are several shops to visit in this quaint little town, I’m hoping to do just that in a future visit. We truly appreciated the attention given to cleaning and sanitizing the space. The week we spent at Micheleen’s was a much needed break from our house, we couldn’t have felt more at home, or safe. Micheleen is committed to ensuring her guests feel welcomed and pampered during their stay. Thank you!

Great place
I almost don’t want to say how nice this place is because I want to keep it to myself. But this house is fantastic. Close to the beach and Cambria. And when we decided to stay at the house it was very comfortable and inviting. The fireplace and the deck are great places to hang out. Micheleen was great to work with. Can’t wait to return and we will.

Valentines Vaca
We absolutely loved staying at Micheleen’s cottage. We stayed 2/11-2/15. Not only were we offered to check in early, but we were sent a list of places that we may want to visit while we were in cambria. The place was so easy to find and maybe 5 minutes away from moonstone beach!! Micheleen was so kind she left us a sweet card along with some local goodies. We were having a hard time getting in and she called us right away. Talk about customer service! The place was immaculate and is beautifully decorated. It had everything we could think of that we needed minus the groceries we bought. We bbq’d every night and we were grateful for extra propane tank. She literally thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and relaxing! Such a blessing to find a magical place. We can’t wait to go back! Thanks again Micheleen. God bless you!

The Most Perfect Weekend Vacation
Micheleen and her home couldn’t have been more perfect. Everything we could have possibly needed was provided. The kitchen was well stocked with not only the essentials but also with amazing spices, teas, coffee and various pots, pans and dishes of all shapes and sizes. Honestly, I don’t think I have ever stayed at a home with such a well stocked kitchen. Tons of super soft towels were provided as well as the softest linens for THE MOST comfortable bed EVER.
Micheleen has put careful thought into making her home extra welcoming with all the things necessary for a weekend away as well as with tiny details that put you ease so you can relax, take a deep breath and enjoy a few moments of peace.
