I felt like I was living among their trees and birds in this pleasant home. It was a wonderful stay—unless you hate climbing a few stairs. One thing I don’t like is how Vrbo is shortening stays with very late check-in times—and very early check-out times!

We enjoyed this property. Lots of light coming in upstairs with all the windows and a sky light, views, balconies for watching the stars, and a fully stocked kitchen. Very peaceful, and nice neighborhood for walks with the dogs. Very clean. Only thing to note is that the beds are not Kings, and my husband is tall so that wasn’t ideal. Also there are alot of stairs so harder for elderly dogs to go up and down (we have a very old senior so had to carry him up and down). Overall nice property and location.

They have great views, and comfort in the home with extra spices and other items in the kitchen to prepare your favorite meal. Electronics were good. The only thing that keeps it from a Five was the backyard was a little was a dirty, making it undesirable to sit in the backyard, although they did have nice amenities back there.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful home. The check in process was seamless, the property owners were responsive and the home was very clean. The neighborhood is quiet and within a short drive to the beach and downtown Cambria. The deck from this home provides a beautiful view of the surrounding foothills and is a great place to enjoy a cup of coffee or an early evening cocktail. We hope to visit this property again in the not too distant future.

We had a great stay in Cambria! The area was beautiful and the house was clean. Be prepared with groceries and supplies when you arrive! Everything closes early and we didn’t even have coffee in the morning. There isn’t a paved road directly in front of the property but the driveway is paved. There was also a power outage when we were there but the only flashlight was very old and we could not find replacement batteries. The view was amazing and there was wildlife that roamed through the neighborhood. Beautiful area, beautiful home, cute town!

We enjoyed our stay at the property. We have two kids (10 & 12) and a yellow lab. The yard was perfect for the dog(secure). Nice walks through the hood seeing turkey & deer before heading out for daily activities. Ideally located between Hearst Castle and SLO. Would stay here again.

This property is perfect for a family with kids or two couples. There is one bedroom upstairs with a full bath and one bedroom downstairs with a full bath. If you are two couples, you would have plenty of privacy. The location is marvelous, the house is spacious and very warm and inviting. Lots of amenities inside the house such as barbecue, outdoor furniture, games and it’s pet friendly. We had the very best of time.

We had a wonderful time in Cambria. Highlights: the elephand seals, walking around the Fiscalini Ranch, visiting the Stolo Winery and going to Hearst's Castle. This is our third stay at the Skylight Retreat and we love it.

We absolutely loved this house. It is convenient to town (3 minute drive). Quiet. And surrounded by local wildlife - wild turkeys and deer. Well suited with everything you need.Nice kitchen. Backyard is great for dogs with easy in/out and fully fenced in. Deck of living room is a great spot to sit with a glass of wine and look off in distance. Wait, is that Hearst Castle I see. Have been coming to Cambria for 10 years - hope to come to this house many more times.

Lower level consists of garage with washer and dryer. Second level is main living area with small front balcony, living room, kitchen, bathroom, and master bedroom. Secluded partially covered deck and access to the fenced backyard off the kitchen. Third level includes a bathroom and bedroom. Partial ocean view from the third level. Be prepared for stairs between levels. Very nice, relaxing stay at the property.

We loved our week at Skyhigh in Cambria! The house was exceptionally clean and well appointed. The dog bowls were a nice touch and the view off the front deck amazing! We’re frequent Cambria visitors and will stay there again. The only critique I have is that the beds are queens (not king size) and very soft.

Clean, well-equipped, comfortable, and convenient. House suited our needs perfectly for a quiet getaway in the treetops. Cambria is our go-to escape from the maddening crowds. Ahh, just breathe deep, take in the views, and relax.

This house longs for updates. There is no sense that it's been attended to and it feels very outdated. If that doesn't matter to you the house is fine. There was lipstick on a glass in cabinet and other dishes needed to be cleaned before using. We rent a house rather than stay in a hotel so we can cook. This house has NO BOWLS, a poor selection of glasses and NO wine glasses! There is no way to light the grill!
The knives are not sharp at all. Downstairs bathroom exhaust fan doesn't work. There is no CURRENT info about Cambria or the surrounding area. We know there's wind but the deck hadn't been swept and it made it look like house wasn't quite ready for renters. The appliances work well and there are lots of lightbulbs!

We were all immediately pleased with the house. It is one of those houses that is obviously used by the owner for parts of the year, as they didn't skimp on the kitchen, furniture or other amenities. I've sighed many times at a rental unit where you look at the cookware and they are all scraped up low-grade teflon leftover from the 90s - but not this place! No, this rental is easy to cook, easy to relax, and easy to enjoy. The location is pretty but requires some driving to get to the beach, town or other attractions. The beds were a bit soft for my taste, and the downstairs shower controls needed some tuning, but we all had a great stay and would stay here again (and why not - Cambria is still beautiful, fun and comparatively undiscovered). It was also great that we could bring our dog. It can be really hard to find good places that allow the canines!

Excellent base camp for Cambria vacation, and bonus: with dogs!

Great retreat in the pines of Cambria. Quiet, well appointed and clean home. Outside areas (front entry, back decks) were not swept clean and had lots of leaves, sticks, dirt about as if not touched for over a month- have had to sweep both times we've rented this property. Outside deck chairs and lounge cushions also covered with dirt, leaves, and left out in moisture to mildew; some not usable.
Generally great, but needs attention to outside areas before rentals.

Enjoyed two weeks nestled in our house surrounded by wandering deer and inquisitive turkeys. Our house was located in the pines, a short mile to the shoreline. No grueling hot temperatures for us. Every morning we sat on our balcony with light jackets and at night we went to sleep burrowed in blankets as the cool air came in our window.

Surrounded by deers and turkeys. Sitting on balcony taking in nature was so peaceful.

Such a great place to get away with the teenager & 4-legged family! We really enjoyed the house, the turkeys greeting us on our walks & drives into town. Beds were comfortable and house was nice and cool with the hot weather surrounding the county. The succulents around the decks were very cute, and we were very happy to be able to park the car in the garage to keep the mutts from chasing after wildlife.

This house was very homey, super comfy beds and furniture. Kitchen was also great and easy to use everything available. I only wish we would have known about the 3 flights of stairs and the dirt road on a very steep hill to get to the house. It would have also been good to know that their are no street lamps in the neighborhood, so it’s a bit scary driving at night. Other than those minor things I believe should be mentioned in the description, it was overall a wonderful place to stay and celebrate my husband and I’s 10 year anniversary. Thank you so much!
