Staying at Whale Watcher home in Cambria was such a surprise. I knew the views would be fabulous according to the pictures but it was beyond the views. Fully stocked home with excellent quality. Open floor plans that made the stay so comfortable. The wrapped around balcony with excellent outdoor furniture was fabulous to chill staring at the magnificent views.The beds were comfortable with all amenities. It was so difficult to leave this place. We so can't wait to return

We found the property clean and well stocked for our needs. The house is very comfortable with a beautiful view. How ever the garage was too small for our ford F150
and it barely fit length wise in the driveway. It would have been helpful to know that it was more suited for a smaller vehicle. when the garage door quit working the management addressed it in a timely manner. Overall, we would recommend this property.

Property was excellent. Exceeded our expectations. Incredible view, well stocked kitchen with anything you’d need utensils, etc, and an incredible view. I didn’t realize there was a email with the code for touchl less entry, so I went inside. The property management staff made me feel like it was an inconvenience. Nothing overt just not friendly or welcoming. Possibly having a bad day.
10.0 / 10.0
The house was as described - great views, well stocked kitchen, and lots of room in the main part of the house. For those that want to know, the main bedroom has a king bed, the other two rooms have full/double beds. I wish they would have put that in the description. There was no way to reach out to the management company within the VRBO App before booking which is a negative, but other than that, the house was clean, the location great, the views spectacular! I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

This is really a beautiful house in a lovely neighborhood. Large deck with comfortable furniture to watch sunsets and just relax and watch the ocean. Kitchen is very well stocked and we found it easy to cook in. We were two couples who used the bedroom with a king bed and the bedroom with a queen bed. Both have magnificent ocean views and comfortable beds. Close to Fiscalini and close to town. I would rent this house again.

The perfect house for a family vacation with a gorgeous view. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to make a delicious meal for your family. We enjoyed visiting several wineries in the area. The house is within walking distance to Fiscalini Ranch. We could see whales from the balcony and hear the waves at night.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at this beautiful property. The view is outstanding and we enjoyed sitting on the patio with a bottle of wine enjoying the sunset each night. The kitchen is fully equipped and very clean. The owners have decorated beautifully and the entire home is very clean. The only inconvenience was that our full size truck would not fit in the garage so we had to be creative in parking it in the very small driveway in order to be off the street.

This was the best home we could have chosen for our CA vacation! Four adults (and a few days 6) fit wonderfully into this beautiful home. The place was immaculate and extremely well stocked, as many other reviewers have mentioned. The views from the decks are very impressive. It was all we could do not to just sit out there all the time. We visited in mid-September and the weather was perfect. I did alot of research and comparison before choosing this home and it paid off very well. We've already decided to come back to the area again, and specifically to this home. One couple was visiting from St. Louis, MO and the other from Los Angeles area. The proximity to not only the sites along the coast but also the wineries in Paso Robles can't be beat. Nothing was more than an hour drive. Thank you for offering this beautiful home for rent!!

We have rented Whale Watcher for about five years. We have family and friends in the area.. it has a great view and is always clean when we arrive. Last year we said that the loft needed a better tv and they got one. Management is always friendly and helpful.

Quiet, bright, clean - great house for families
The views from the dining table/living room were incredible, and you can even hear the ocean. Comfortable furnishings and mattresses. Spacious master bedroom, the other two bedrooms were a little small, but fine for kids or couples who don’t need a large bed. Kids enjoyed the loft area/TV room. Rained while we were visiting so didn’t get a chance to utilize the veranda but there’s a nice outdoor seating area and table for 4 out on the deck. Garage is a bit of a tight fit for 2 vehicles and there is no parking on the street. Quiet neighborhood with access to a small rocky beach about 4-5 blocks away. They had a cabinet of games which we appreciated. Kitchen had everything we needed. The house was very clean and we had a wonderful stay. Enjoyed visiting Morro Bay, Moonstone Beach and the Brown Butter Cookie Company and Lunas coffee in Cayucos.

Nice location with good views of the ocean. The beds are very comfortable as well as the other parts of the house. The knocks are, the forced air heating can be loud and the controls on the oven are confusing.

A little slice of heaven.
We loved this house so much!!!! It is such a perfect place to unwind and appreciate the beauty of Cambria and the Pacific Ocean. The kitchen was such a pleasure; everything we could have needed and more! The furniture was comfortable, especially the patio furniture. Every bedroom was cozy and comfortable and the bathrooms were so clean and lovely. The bedding, the fluffy towels and the snuggly blankets were just like home. We all loved the fireplace too. The decor was beautiful and very much appreciated. Every detail was thought of to create a perfect experience. This house will be our go-to getaway for future visits. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous home with us. We look forward to our next visit. 🐳☀️

Cambria Beauty
This property captures the best of Cambria. Beautiful ocean views from every room & multiple decks. Comfortable & private neighborhood. We were so close to attractions : the Cambria Pines Lodge Christmas Market, Hearst Winery, Piedras Blancas to see the elephant seals, and the Paso Robles Wineries. The kitchen was so well stocked with everything to prep, cook & serve. Lots of games & puzzles, multiple sitting & viewing areas. We loved it all!

We loved the house so much that we didn’t want to leave. The views from the house and the deck are breathtaking! The best neighborhood in Cambria. The house is less than 5 min walk to the beautiful Fiscalini Ranch Preserve and beach. We are already planning on coming back.

We have stayed at this house multiple times and plan to repeat as often as we can. This House has beautiful views, is spacious, clean with comfortable furniture and a well stocked upgraded kitchen. The garage can park two cars, but it is extremely tight (the owners could move out some stored furniture to make it a bit more spacious).
