Kerri and Greg should write a book on how to host a VRBO! This home has it all: amazing views from the incredible deck with a firepit and bbq, the comfy beds, the well-stocked and user friendly kitchen, ease of check in, incredible response and attention from the owners, and did I mention the AMAZING VIEWS of fern canyon from the deck? Plus the little touches like fresh ground coffee, a bottle of wine and chocolates, a log on the fireplace, recommendations for hikes and restaurants, and even a basket of goodies for our dog! We spotted deer, all sorts of birds, and even wild turkeys right outside the front door. Close to town and the ocean but tucked away from the hustle and bustle, this home is paradise. We have been coming to Cambria for 32 years, staying in many different vacation homes but this one is now our absolute favorite! We plan to be back as often as possible!

Good

Kerrie’s place was perfect! It had everything we needed and much more. It was spotless and we felt comfortable immediately. I only wish we had a longer visit.

Our family spent 4 days at Coastal Retreat and loved every minute. The home is extremely clean and very well stocked. The hosts were wonderful - great communication and provided a number of suggestions for local restaurants and activities. Would definitely stay here again.

The house was perfect for our excursion from the Bay Area. The ready-to-light fire log and bottle of wine were a nice touch to warm us during the “June Gloom” on the coast. The beds were super comfortable and the wooded area was very relaxing. The place is very spacious with a fully outfitted kitchen, and hose on the downstairs deck was handy for rinsing sand from our feet and shoes. The tv had all the services ready to watch and easy to figure out. The Wi-Fi was great. Kerrie and Greg were very helpful and they even accommodated our unexpected early arrival like magic. Will definitely stay again if we can!

This lovely home was the perfect destination for my family of 3. Surrounded by trees and chirping birds, the house was very comfortable, clean and quiet. The house has all amenities you'd need. Easy walk or drive to anything you need.

The location was wonderful. It was like being in a treehouse. The host, Kerrie. was very responsive to my communications. The house was charming , comfortable, and very clean. We look forward to our next visit.

Beautiful and thoughtful retreat near the ocean. Exactly what we needed to get back to our sanity!

Very comfortable home in wonderful location (like a vacation in a private forrest)! The hosts provide a number of great perks (wine and chocolate at checkin, a waffle iron with all the necessary ingredients, fire log, and great suggestions for hikes and restaurants). We would not hesitate to book it again! Cheers!

I booked this trip to get some cozy chill time with my best friends. We didn’t really plan to go anywhere or do anything other than drink wine and eat cheese. So the comfy cozy vibes of this spot was great. Sadly our arrival was timed with a major storm but our host worked with us, giving us extra time to make up for our delayed arrival. That was very kind of them and we really appreciated it. The house was well stocked with kitchen ware, towels, blankets and anything else we might have needed. The communication was super easy and the Wi-Fi worked great. The home was warm and cozy, they had logs in the fireplace waiting for us and the views were beautiful. The check in and check out instructions were totally reasonable and easy. We would definitely come back!

Too short of a stay but enjoyed every minute of it. I've never rented a house with so much goodies in the kitchen! The wine was delicious and from a local winery as well as the chocolates. The owners are very responsive and our dog was in doggy heaven.

This was aa great spot that was well appointed. Beds were comfortable as was the living room sofa. Parking was easy and kitchen has all the basics. We hope to return!

I love this place. I was a bit hesitant as I thought it was going to be a little small, and it was not right on the beach. But it turned out to be absolutely perfect! Beautiful place, everything worked perfectly, very clean. Very well maintained. Very safe for our little dog. Beautiful ravine with a hiking path right behind the house. We were basically in the woods. Three minute drive to down. The patio and fire table out back got a lot of use and the living room was perfect for six people. I can't say enough good things. I loved it and will certainly stay there again.

This location looks out over Fern Canyon, so unlike so many properties in Cambria that are cose to one another, the view here gives you a lovely feeling of being in the forest. Kerrie was immediately responsive to my need for assistance with the door code. (my fault, not hers). Open floor plan, spacious loft, prefectly appointed kitchen. I did not want to leave... and I will be back!

My wife and I stayed a week in the Coastal Retreat and had an awesome time! The house is a great size for us and our dog, but also we had my sister and her friend for one night and the space was very accommodating for all of us. The living and sleeping areas are super cozy and comfortable. The decoration is homey and just what you want at a coastal retreat. The deck is amazing! So many birds, deer, wild turkey and more. It is the perfect place to relax and read or just listen to the nature around you. Others have mentioned it but it bears repeating, the house looks like its right off the road, and in fact it is super close to the main drag and HWY 1, but it is so private once you are in it! You will feel like you are in your own slice of forest heaven. The house has everything you could possibly need and the host Kerrie was super responsive. I messaged her and got a response every time in less than 10 minutes! (I think it was faster but I don't want to set an impossible standard. ;-) ) We also did appreciate ALL of the little things for our dog, including dog blanket, toys and towels. Thanks so much for hosting us!

The property was so private with 3 sides of the home hidden in a pine forest next to a fern preserve. We saw deer, tons of different birds and had coffee in the morning watching the woodpeckers while lounging on the deck and my son swang in the swing under the trees. The house was a home- clean, well-cared for and had everything you could think of- even a waffle maker! I can’t say enough about the cleanliness!!! We’ve stayed in tons of places in Cambria and handsaa down this was the cleanest and most welcoming of all. To top it off the hosts were so communicative and helpful. There’s a binder full of restaurant and hiking recommendations! We will be back! Best stay in the 22 years we’ve been visiting Cambria!

This property went well beyond expectations. Beautiful, convenient location in Cambria, very well appointed with furniture, appliances, kitchen gadgets, etc. It really felt like a nice home instead of a rental. 5 star all the way around without a doubt.

This is the most fully outfitted property we have stayed at. Great attention to detail including, kitchen and food supplies, TV and entertainment, easy internet access, instructions, and toiletries. The overlook of the ravine is stunning. Access to Route 1 and Cambria is terrific. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

We had a relaxing, fun time! The view of the trees and surrounding area were beautiful. Open feeling of loft was perfect for our group. Communication was great, many amenities, comfortable home. Wish we could have stayed longer. .

Such a well-appointed property. Beautiful property and close to everything!

Very well stocked kitchen and bathrooms with some extra treats (wine, smores, coffee, popcorn, etc) Lots of blankets and pillows. Child and dog protections provided. Good communication with owners.

Very easy access off the main highway, but once you’ve arrived you feel as if you’re in a secluded, quiet woodland. A good location between town and the bluffs. The house itself was very well appointed. Pretty much everything you could think of was provided. Would definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful home which is perched overly a very pretty forested canyon and yet only a few minutes from the beach. The house is immaculate, very comfortable, and provided a great base from which to explore Cambria and Big Sur. The hosts have clearly given a lot of thought to how to make sure guests have a great experience, from making check-in and check-out very easy, making sure everything in the house is easy to find and/or clearly labeled and being very responsive to any questions. Thank you for a great stay!

View off deck is beautiful, access to hiking and ocean very convenient. Home is comfortable, clean, and cozy. We had a great time!

Impeccable place and hosting...again! Highly recommended.

Impeccable place and hosting...again! Highly recommended.

Great location, seamless process, very communicative - the peace and tranquility of the woods from the back porch is amazing.
