The Brocklebank House

The home was quaint and had everything you needed to enjoy yourselfs. 8 minute walk to the beach was amazing!

Lovely, cozy house in Cambria. Our family enjoyed our stay, and appreciated the well appointed kitchen for meals. Large outside deck was perfect for reading and enjoying nature. We even saw a group of deer walk placidly through the yard. All in all a good home base for a trip to the central coast.

The home was nice and the location was good. House did not have one working outside light. Literally the reason I booked this house was the deck so we could bbq steaks and have a place to sit outside. It was way too dark to do that so it was a major bummer. When I called, the man I spoke to was a little gruff. And who wants to sit around and wait for a guy to come and look at fixing the house you spent so much money on so we opted to just change our plans. But the house itself was clean and the beds were comfortable.

Wonderful home in the relaxing central coast town of Cabria. Home was well appointed and easy to stay in. Cute downtown with interesting shops, local beaches and nature areas a plus. Check in Check out procedures very easy. All in all a great stay!

This is a great location and good size home for family vacation.

We enjoyed our 3-day stay at this charming, older home in a nice quiet neighborhood. It was comfortable and homey, with the sound of the surf in the distance, and well-established trees and landscaping in this area. We and our dogs enjoyed the large yard and quiet side street for walking, when we were not all exploring Cambria and surrounding areas. Thank you for sharing your home!

Although in a good location and welcoming to dogs, renter beware. Interior walls and doors have grubby spots and scratches. Bedrooms and corridor have old carpets with an odor. Bed was uncomfortable. A set of window drapes looked like they had been wet from a leak and were starting to grow mold. Outdoor table cover was torn in several places and table needed to be cleaned before use. The rear yard it overlooked was uncared for. On Saturday a nearby party venue played loud music until 10pm. Some effort has been made to make living area comfortable, and although the house has some charm it is teetering on the brink of being unacceptable. It needs more attentive maintenance but even better, updating.

Manager's Response

Charming older home in great neighborhood. We reveled in the ability to hear the waves roll (and crash) on to the shore and enjoyed a peek-a-boo ocean view from the deck. House was well-stocked for cooking, even Christmas dinner. Would absolutely stay here again.

This was our second time staying at this home and it was wonderful. Such a cozy home, feels hidden in the trees but you can hear and see the ocean from the large deck.

This home is a bit more run down than it appeared. It was well stocked with coffee maker and extra blankets which were newer but there is outdoor furniture for a dining table. the bedrooms have older carpet and are a bit musty. it was pretty well cleaned though a few cobwebs in corners. I actually did not mind the oldness of the house but just was not prepared based on the other reviews. All the legal papers after the purchase was a bit strange as well.

Lovely home and great location, thank you for sharing it with us. Much appreciated the Christmas decorations at the house, as our family got together for Christmas this year.

It was a beautiful week, really enjoyed the house and the yard.

We had a nice stay at the Brocklebank house. Although this house is rated 4 stars I'd say it's really a 3 star property. I've stayed in several 4 star properties that were much more updated and had better amenities. The home is in a good location. Close to PCH, walking distance to Moonstone Beach and near downtown Cambria.

First time staying at this property. Nice home in good condition. A little noisy with the Cal Fire station next door and quite a bit of every day traffic. Scenic Coast was great and responded quickly to a minor problem,,,,coffee maker died but we had a replacement at the house within hour. Wish they had a tv in the bedroom and the gas grill is on its last legs. Nice house and dog friendly.

Spent three nights in Cambria in Oct 2020. The inside is quaint, and the owners have obviously been making upgrades. The dining room and family room have new hardwood floors, and the stove appears brand new. Furniture is clean and good. The kithcen linoleum was torn and worn a bit, but didn't bother me. I am sure a new kitchen floor won't be far behind. The outside deck is rustic, but the outside table and chairs were covered and in new condition. The BBQ is old but works. No air conditioning but usually not needed in Cambria as it is cool. Record setting 90 degrees during our trip though. Found a small fan in closet to cool house at sundown.Very quiet. Up a hill from the beach, but plenty of parking if you drive your car to the beach like I did. Saw a deer in our the neighborhood.

The Brocklebank House was perfect for our family including our dog. We loved the cozy fire, and the close proximity to the town and beach. It was very convenient and suited our needs perfectly.

Our family really enjoyed our stay in Cambria. The home is only a 10 min. walk to the beach and a short drive to lots of great activities and to the town center. The kitchen was fully stocked. We used the table on the deck for most of our meals. The home did smell a little musty as it probably hadn't been used in some time.

We truly enjoyed our stay here. The house was wonderful - very homey and cozy. It was very clean, which was extremely important to me. I cooked every night and found everything I needed to prep breakfast, lunch and dinner.(I brought all my own food, spices, foil, etc). Loved the Fiesta Ware dishes! We were able to easily walk to the West village. We drove to the East, although you could walk. The home is in a very quiet neighborhood - we met the neighbors who were very nice! It is on the same street as the Fire Station, so I felt safe and secure. My only suggestion would be new mattresses. My boys weren't comfortable sleeping in the third bedroom (a single bed) because it had a door (which we kept locked and latched) to the carport. they did use it during the day if they needed space from each other! I would definitely stay here again :)

For the price it was great, very clean inside. The dishwasher runs but does not clean the dishes, everything else was great. A very big piece of property and we loved how quiet it was. No traffic noise at all. Nice neighbors.

Great stay at the house. Location is excellent as it is just up the street from the water and shops but far enough away to be protected from the wind and to experience some of the local wildlife (herons, deer). My kids fell in love and didnt't want to leave.

Nice little quiet cottage nestled above Cambria main street a very enjoyable stay.
Furniture is a bit dated and house smelled a little musty. Door locks could use some attention. A well appointed kitchen. House sits on a very quiet corner just below a Cal Fire station.

Nice little house walking distance from Moonstone and the beach. Nice deck with gas grill and table and chairs to sit at. Older home with some cool decorations. There was only one issue and that was the gardener showing up while we were there. Other than that I we enjoyed our stay.

WE love staying at this home, it's cozy and comfortable except the beds need to be updated, they're too small. And no directions for tv use, we never did figure it out. We enjoyed the wildlife and the quiet.

We enjoyed our time away from home.

It was a quite and restful time. We had sunshine, a little wind, and a little fog. Best of all we had Sunshine.

The house was perfect for us (4women). Great location our issues were as follows. We received a small gift bag upon arrival and appreciated that. But when we arrived at the house and there were no coffee filters for the coffee we were given. There was no bar soap, Kleenex or other small amenities. The oven did not work. The TV had 5 different remotes and was unworkable for us. The rugs were not very clean and a bath mat would have been nice. However, we loved Cambria and would like to come to the area again someday. It would be helpful if the description on the VRBO site had warned us of the lack of the amenities so we could have come prepared.

Had a terrific stay in this cozy house. Well maintained. Easy to find. A pleasant walk to the beach, cute town.

My family and I stay here for a long weekend get away. We loved this cozy house. It was perfect for coffee on the deck in the morning, games at the table in the evening, and easy to make our own meals in the Kitchen. We also love the location since it is 2 minutes to Moonshine Beach and 2 minutes to Cambria. Perfect for all our needs.
I am returning for a second visit. I hope to do a third in the future.

Lovely home with some amazing art. Diane & George were great hosts and it would have been lovely to spend some more time with them, unfortunately we were only there for 2 nights.

This location is away from most of the Vacationing public. So it is very quite.

the house was very warm and inviting. We love Cambria! We brought our dog and that was a first. Wine tasting at Zenaida , then dinner at the house. Very nice kitchen , we had everything we needed. Bed was perfect. Please note, the fireplace is no longer wood burning.
It gave off good heat. My wife and I really enjoyed the special time here!!!

Was a wonderful week, property management staff were very nice and followed up on our calls. Towels were so soft and fluffy and great linens. Will do this again next year.
