BEACHFRONT

My wife and I needed to get away and unwind, and this place met those needs. It truly is a beachfront property. We enjoyed the ocean view each and every day, with the exception of going to grab a bite to eat at the local restaurants. It was wonderful going to sleep at night and waking up in the morning to the sounds of crashing waves. The dining room table is perfectly placed next to the large windows overlooking the beautiful blue Pacific Ocean surf. It was lovely enjoying morning coffee at the dining room table, and then migrating to the outdoor patio. This place is one of several units in a condominium complex. It seemed there were only a few units occupied. This small complex and the surrounding area was relatively quiet. People were friendly, yet kept to themselves.

The one minor drawback is the WiFi is laggy, if you want to stream TV shows on your devices. Thankfully, one of my phones has TMobile service which I turned into a hotspot, and it allowed me to stream video and music without buffering. First world problems, right!

Overall, this unit was fabulous for the two of us and allowed me to recharge after a hectic past several months.

Absolutely perfect location - both the house on the bluffs with amazing views & its proximity to so many areas for exploration such as wine tasting in Paso Robles, dining at Avila Beach, Morro Bay, Cayucos, Solvang, Santa Barbara & of course Cambria.

We so enjoyed our three night stay at this nice property. It is convenient, right on the bluff above the beach with a steep but very easy to use, newer stairway giving access to the almost private beach, with only a few other small townhouse buildings along the shore. The sounds of the ocean at this location were constant and soothing. The unit is well equipped with high quality furnishings, very nice beds and plenty of blankets, etc. It has probably the nicest towels I've ever seen in a rental unit and the bathrooms are very modern. We look forward to renting it again in the future the next time we venture down this way. While the famous Hearst Castle is still closed to the public due to the pandemic, there are still plenty of things to do and see in relatively close proximity like the Hearst Ranch Winery and their nice wines and beautiful setting right on the ocean. The small hamlet of Cambria and Moonstone Beach is a mere 3 miles to the south with all the cute shops and great restaurants. Also being there in mid-September brought us glorious weather with very little fog...

We are a couple in our mid-70s who live in northern Marin County and we have rented beach houses up and down the coast of California just this year and others in the past. We stayed in Santa Cruz, Avila Beach and Moss Landing previously this year. Each home was rented through VRBO and each was very nice and now we can include this San Simeon location to our list of places we'd like to return to. The Scenic Coast Property Management staff were very easy to work with as well and all the instructions for access and care of the home were quite clear. About a week before the rental was to commence I decided we needed to stay an extra night so I asked if it was possible and SCPM responded quickly to my request.

great location and property

The location was spectacular. If you want to be right on the ocean this is the spot. Down a flight of stairs and right onto a great walking beach. Just a short walking distance away to south were tide pools filled with lots of different ocean creatures! Even saw dolphins! Truly wonderful to sit on patio and enjoy the crash of waves. So relaxing!

Wonderful loved will highly recommend

This place is a jewel! It has everything you need for a relaxing coastal stay. Well stocked kitchen, easy beach access, incredible beach, very attentive management company. When we had a light go out they were there in an hour. We will stay here again!

Location, location, location. I’m sure I would stay here even if the place was crumbling to the ground. Luckily the owners have taken this place to heart and are keeping it up to date with great improvements. I suspect the kitchen is next on the list. We’ve been staying in this place for over 30 years now and we’ll never get tired of that view!
Maybe someday the fireplace will work properly.

Outstanding view of the ocean. Steps to the beach out of the backdoor.
The property was immaculately clean & very comfortable.

We felt the pictures accurately represented what to expect in terms of view, decor, etc. However, many things in the unit did seem to function properly. The fireplace broke 2x while we there. Maintenance came and fixed during the day, it worked for about 30 minutes and stopped working. We were disappointed since we did not get to have a nightly fire. There is a tv in the master bedroom, but there is no cable, roku, etc. so the tv is essentially useless unless you bring your own streaming. The propane tank for the BBQ was so rusted we were afraid to use it so we ordered out instead. The unit is also downstairs, and we had a very loud upstairs neighbor who kept stomping on the floor. I could go on but they are mainly first world problems. We might return but will look for other options first. Notwithstanding the unit, we really liked the rental company and found them to be very efficient, professional, and helpful. Would definitely look to rent with them first over others.

When we first arrived, there was a bad smell inside, I figured out it was the carpet, the worst room was the master bedroom, all should be replaced. The frying pans are old as is the original condition of the unit, but the location is great.

My family stayed here for an easy little family vacation and had a great time enjoying the beach and the wonderful views of the central coast. The location is fantastic!

The property has an amazing view. We watched the sunset every night and had coffee every morning just listening to the waves crash. We had everything we needed to cook including some spices. The beds were super comfortable and everything was spotless! I am giving this property 4 stars only because the living room furniture is old and uncomfortable. The location was very central And made it easy to get to Moonstone Beach and cambria. I would and will definitely be coming back! This property and that view made this one of my favorite vacations!

This is a perfect spot for a quiet beach getaway! The condo is spacious, well stocked and comfortable. Beach access is out the back door! We would definitely book again!

It really is steps from a great walking beach. The beach was very clean and not crowded all week days. Spotlessly quite, clean and comfortable. Restaurants a walk San Simone or short drive away in Cambria. This property is highly recommended.

Loved our stay here. We walked the beach everyday and loved sitting on the patio listening to the ocean. The condo was lower level with good access via stairs to the sand. Condo was well stocked with oil, salt/pepper and those items. Beds were comfortable.

This place is awesome! Perfect location right on the water.

The property was right above the beach with private stains down to the beach. The property was in good shape and well furnished. The beach is pleasant for walking and watching waves and surfers. Also close to Cambria ford shopping and more hiking and, of course, the beach favored by elephant seals.

Fabulous view of the ocean out your very own front windows. Unit was well equipped and the location just north of Cambria was great. Convenient parking made it so simple. Just minutes from the Hearst Castle and Elephant Seal Beach. Check in at the rental office was easy and helpful. Yes we would return.

Home away from home! I know that's so clich but its so true. It has become our little piece of heaven. to wake up ever morning to the sound of waves crashing against the rocks and then open the door to actually seeing what you hear. Unbelievable!

Great location. Property was clean and comfortable. property management service was excellent.

This was the perfect setting to unwind and totally relax. Everything was provided to make our stay comfortable and to make. Us feel completely at home. We didn’t want to leave.

What a great find! We loved the location and all the unit had to offer! It was very clean and well managed and maintained! The only negative, but certainly not a deal breaker, was the two leather chairs and couch were very uncomfortable for lounging in the evenings. That said, we would love the opportunity to stay again and would recommend this condo highly!

Love this condo, one of our best vacation experiences. We sat for hours on the patio watching dolphins, seals and even saw 2 whales!

We spent 5 nights on a Sistercation and had a fantastic time. This was a very clean house with fantastic view and location. It was perfect for all the activities and places we wanted to go. We did a wine tour with the Wine Wrangler and they picked us up at the condo which made for a worry free trip. The house needs some updating and needs patio chairs, but other than that all was perfect!

Great location in San Simeon. Close to Hearst Castle, Elephant seal beach, Cambria & Paso Robles wineries. Right on beach, we saw otters, seals, and a whale! Not to mention surfers, fun to watch. Unit is not brand new but well appointed & comfortable. Would highly recommend.

The condo is directly on the beach. Great location. It is a little dated but very clean and comfortable. Kitchen is well stocked. Parking is just outside the door. Very close to Cambria where there are plenty of shops and restaurants. I would definitely stay here again.

Cannot get any closer to stare at the ocean. Kitchen was stocked with everything you need. There are two restaurants walking distance to this unit every place else you have to drive. Hearst Castle is a must.

We have stayed here a few times because we love the closeness of the ocean and the quiet and privacy of the San Simeon area. BUT, this year it seemed that this particular unit is aged. The fixtures are old, the unit is clean but there was even a hole in the door through which the very cold wind would blow into the bedroom. The rental price is substantial (for my economic strata) and I feel that the value of this unit is no longer acceptable.
