Sea'Scape

Staying at Sea'Scape was a lovely experience. Clean, comfortable, quiet and nicely furnished. It was the perfect place for a relaxing stay with the ocean nearby to walk to and watch the sunsets, sea otters, and birds.

Our stay was very restful with the sound and smell of the ocean at high tide. The neighborhood was very quiet. The neighbors we did see were all nice and friendly. Loved the big windows in living room because they brought in lots of nice light. There was lots of fog - so no ocean view from the house. It looks like on clear days there is a small patch of ocean visible. The kitchen was well stocked and set up nicely. The bed firm but comfortable. Loved being so close to the ocean trail at Fiscalini Ranch Reserve — wonderful for morning and evening walks to see beautiful coast. We will definitely consider renting this home again.

A fantastic home, with all the right vibes. In a quiet neighborhood. We were well located to visit Hearst Castle, and 5 beaches.

This property, from the outside, looks quite impressive and even inviting. But, once inside, and we knew this from the pictures before we rented, it becomes quite clear how long it’s been since anyone has given care and attention to this “home.” I don’t know how much money the owners are making from renting it out but one can guess—based on what we paid—it’s more than a little. Therefore, it’s a little difficult to understand why it’s likely been decades, literally, since the interior was updated in any way. It seems the most concern has recently been given to having a gigantic TV in the main room that you’ll not be able to use because there’s no instructions and it’s not really even hooked up to anything. While the location is indeed quite good, I would caution anyone from staying here and dealing with copious shag carpet, tired furniture, very depressing bathrooms, a barely functioning kitchen, decrepit light fixtures, broken-down blinds, and the list goes on. Yes, we knew what we were getting into but oh my!

This is a great place to stay except for the upstairs bed... it is awful and we had two very uncomfortable nights. A new mattress is an easy remedy and well worth it.

Location, location, location! The property could use some updating, linens, the dishwasher...but it is very comfortable and in a great location!

We have been staying at the property for the last 6 years. It’s a great place and easy walking distance to the beach. I only have a few complaints....there should be new blinds as they need replacement. They should also fix and put back a new sliding screen. A Roku device should also be in the main living room tv instead of just the bedrooms. I had to take the Roku from one room and use it in the living room. Other wise, it’s a perfect spot for my family and I. :)

We had a very comfortable stay. Property was in better shape than the reviews I had read. Furniture and bedding had both been updated. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook dinner in a couple of nights well there. The contactless check in and out made it very easy. The neighborhood was very quiet and had easy access to coastal walks just down the road.

Nice, clean & comfortable.

We really enjoyed our time here and loved the location! We often left the windows open to listen to the waves. The house was cute with everything we needed. No frills but clean. We would come back.

Snuck away for the weekend with my sister and the kids and it was perfect for what we were looking for. It's so expensive to travel now, that we really just wanted a clean and spacious home as our home base as we adventured around the area. To be honest, we were expecting it to be worse than it was due to the images online and some of the reviews, but it was actually quite nice. The decor is dated, but we didn't mind that. We were right near the beach {5 min walk}, in a quiet neighborhood off the beaten track. It's a cute little beach town with some older homes and some newer renovated homes. Just as you would expect in an old beach town. 5 min drive to downtown Cambria. All the basics in the kitchen were available, including a fresh bag of ice in the freezer. We hit the grocery store upon arrival and brought some of our own food and spices. You may want to bring some of the basic parishables, as i believe most are leftover from previous stays, so you may not have what you need. BBQ onsite with coals in the kitchen for your use. Laundry onsite, etc. Very easy contactless check-in. The service is very spotty, so you may not have access to calls, but they do offer a local landline for emergencies and local needs. 2G wifi wasn't the strongest, but we were there to escape, so if anything that helped. It was great for our small little families. Will visit again!

This was our fourth time to rent. We’re going to be moving on at this point. Previous reviews of the houses condition are accurate, in our opinion. The house does need some upgrades, the carpet is stained and worn. The faucets leak. We get that it is a rental, and things to get worn out, but there also has to be an investment in the house to inspire people to want to be there. The house is in an excellent location, and it really is adorable. But it does need to be updated. The kitchen is extremely sparsely stocked, there wasn’t even any pepper in the spice cabinet. I brought some aluminum foil and Ziploc bags, because there is none of that in the kitchen. No kitchen cleaners whatsoever, no spray to clean the counters. The wand on the wooden blinds downstairs is broken, and has been since we started renting several years ago. We have lots of good memories here, but we are paying a lot of money to stay. Not so much the nightly rate, which is reasonable, but probably a third more in the Vrbo ad on -fees which have become ridiculous. For that price, we do expect a better value for the money in terms of the condition of the house.

Have rented this home before. Good location. Nice, two bedroom sleeping arrangement. Accommodations however, rather dated. Upstairs TV is complicated and does not work with ease. Needs to be updated considerably to operate more smoothly. If Cambria is as short on water as they claim? EVERY rental there; including this one; needs to REPLACE ALL dates bathroom & kitchen hardware to low flow - PERIOD. Kit. sink dripped & you had to fool with it to turn it off. Showerheads were definitely not low flow.

Our family has been renting this property for many years. It’s a perfect location that is a 5 minute walk to the beach. Located in a quiet neighborhood. Place is always clean and the beds are comfortable. My only wish is that they would fix up and replace the blinds, refurbish the deck, and get a new screen door. None the less, it’s a great spot.

I'll start with the positive; the location is really great. The property is in a nice, quiet neighborhood and very close to the ocean with a lovely lookout point with benches just two short blocks away. It is maybe a 10-minute drive to the East and West Villages, and close to Moonstone Beach. Two king beds were great for two couples and the beds were comfortable. The place was clean.
Now, I'll provide the negative. The property is very, very tired. Almost all the window blinds that you would like to use are broken. Several hard-to-reach lights were burnt out in the kitchen and family room. The bathroom fixtures in both bathrooms are old and discolored. The linoleum on both bathroom floors near the tub is coming up and away from the tub. There were ants in the upstairs bedroom. The microwave that's part of the stove/oven unit is broken; however, a cheap countertop microwave is provided. The kitchen had the basics, but not much in the way of containers or wraps, baggies and foil, etc. There were very few niceties that you would normally find in a VRBO property. No coffee, tea or sugar, etc., no luggage racks, very few coat hangers in either closet, no bath mats that we could find, lots of "stuff" in the closets and cabinets. Other than the nice location, I would not recommend this property.

Very clean, comfortable, quiet and convenient for 2 adults; could also work for 4. Scenic Coast Management gave excellent customer service. On the morning of Day 2, I sent a message about the TV not working and two problems in the downstairs bathroom. Kimberly tried calling and, when she couldn't reach us (we were out walking and unaware of the call), she stopped by in the early afternoon and showed us how to use the TV. The directions left in the unit were inaccurate. Shortly thereafter, the handyman came and fixed the sink and a loose piece of hardware. A couple of other issues that I did not report are that the A/C does not cool down the unit in the afternoon & evening, and that the Wifi and cell phone access do not work in the downstairs bedroom.

This was our third visit to the seascape rental. We love this rental, and will return. It would be great if it could be a little better stocked. The kitchen, for example has very little supplies. For example, only a little bit of aluminum foil, no Ziploc bags, no storage containers for food. It is just minimally stocked. They were a few lights that were out, for example over the dining room table, and in the upstairs bathroom. There were no extra lightbulbs that we could find to replace the burnt out bulbs. Also, the smoke detector is super sensitive, and was going off even though there was absolutely no food cooking that was burning, it was just a normal cooking. All of those things we consider to be minor. The furnishings are slightly worn and dated, but everything overall is very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Our family loves coming to this home. It’s a perfect easy walk to the beach. I would definitely come back. I would like to see this place updated with blinds that work and replaced. Also, the top deck should be redone with new wood as it has nails sticking up and easily can get splinters if not walking carefully.

I loved my time at this home. Lots of sunlight, gas fireplace, bath tub and I could hear the ocean! The best past is that it was an easy walk to the beach-less than 4 houses away and nearby amazing trails. The checkin was simple. I work from home so the internet connection was key. No issues there. I felt safe and enjoyed the full kitchen. I like the house layout- I lived on the upstairs level. I have stayed at a lot of vacation Rentals so I appreciated the garage for privacy and easy entry. I also noticed no spiders or bugs. Thank you for this sweet home by the ocean!

The house was in a very nice, quiet location. There were a few things about the house that was a little disappointing. There were 2 huge spiders in the downstairs bathroom. There were no cleaning supplies in the house to wipe down counter tops or anything. The propane bbq outside was completed rotted out on the inside and was unusable. Other than that, the house was clean and enjoyable.

a short walk to the beautiful Fiscalini Ranch Preserve, this is a nicely appointed, functional vacation property. There's a full kitchen, W/D, etc. basically everything you need to have a safe vacation in charming Cambria. The style isn't very upscale, the deck is tiny, but otherwise it's perfectly fine for a family holdiday.

This home is perfect with only a few minutes walk to the beach.

Lovely little house with comfortable amenities. Not on a hill, so very easy to park. Just a few steps to the beach. Heating two levels was tricky at first, we had to work at the downstairs not freezing and the upstairs being too warm.

This experience was very smooth and met our expectations. The property management was professional and easy to access. The home was clean and comfortable. We plan to return.

This was our second time to stay at Seaescape. We love it here and will probably come back. The property management company was very responsive to a couple of little problems that we had. There was a problem with the barbecue, and they promptly brought us a new barbecue within a couple of hours. The kitchen, although having the basic necessities, is not well stocked. There’s no foil, saran wrap, Ziploc bags. Little in the way of spices. Really the bear necessities. So that could be improved upon. Also, some of the wood blinds in the master bedroom, and also in the kitchen are missing wands or had the wands broken. So those need to be repaired. One of the sliding screen doors leading out onto the deck popped off of its track, and we could not get it back on, so we informed the property management folks. They are extremely responsive and helpful. All of these things I mentioned are not big deals, but rather little details that could be improved upon. Overall, a wonderful stay in a wonderful house at an incredible location.

On a quiet street just a block back from the ocean and a short walk to large and small parks this is perfect for a restful retreat. The beds are extremely comfortable. Small but well laid out for two private rooms and baths. Note a steep stairway to main floor. There are a few small maintenance needs that I mentioned and I am sure will be attended to. Very responsive, friendly, and helpful management folks.

We struggled to find reasonably priced coastal accommodation for our five-day SLO CAL stay until we hit upon this house. Even though it has not been updated in a few decades, it was clean and comfortable. Just right for my young family, even better if they had a stair gate and cot for babies. One minute's walk to the beautiful beach and a few more to the nature reserve.

My wife and I had a wonderful stay in the Sea'Scape rental. It was spotless, bedroom and bedding were exceptionally clean and comfortabe. The kitchen was well appointed with basic tools and appliances. The deck affords some view of the ocean and was a great spot for viewing a large number of bird species including swallows, finches, hummingbirds and, of course, a large variety of seabirds including pelicans, gulls, and terns. It's possible to walk/hike from the house north on Windsor Blvd., through Fiscalini Ranch on the bluffs trail, connect with Windsor Blvd. again in the next neighborhood, then to Moonstone Beach Park, via the Shamel Park access. One can walk Moonstone Beach Park northward all the way to Hearst San Simeon State Park, which provides a couple more miles of trails in the San Simeon Creek watershed area just east of Highway 1. This continuous series of trails and Moonstone Beach boardwalk paths make for an incredible experience of this beautiful coast. Our favorite places to dine include the Sea Chest and The Moonstone Beach Bar and Grill, both on Moonstone Beach Drive, and Robin's in the Cambria's East Village. Linn's, in the East Village, is great for breakfast. Cambria is a very special place.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this house. It's next to the ocean and two parks. It's cozy with big windows, a fireplace and full kitchen. Very quiet area. Loved it, perfect for some R&R.

Very nice 2-bedroom house. Modern, clean, well-kept and well-equipped. Great proximity to the ocean and ranch. Not much ocean view from the house however.

All we needed was on the upper floor. Weather was great for early February.

Excellent location, beautiful weather and great company made it a fantastic weekend. Home was close to Tescalini Point for morning walks and quick ride into Main Street Cambria.

The house was quiet, close to the ocean and just what we needed.
Long beautiful walks by the ocean and a great little town to enjoy good
Food and music.

Our stay at Sea'Scape was pleasant and offered us all we look for when we visit Cambria. The smell and sound of the ocean calming us back to normal...

Lovely two bedroom/two bath home with great living room and kitchen for a few days "R & R". Within walking distance to beach (though a bit rocky) and Fiscalini Preserve.

We enjoyed a three-night stay during May 2018 at the Sea'Scape vacation rental home in Cambria. The rental is managed by Scenic Coast Property Management with an office on the main street of Cambria, which is where you check in and check out. Interactions with the property management company were quite easy and completely satisfactory. The home is only one block back from the shoreline. There is a partial ocean view from the front windows. The neighborhood is quiet and well-maintained. The home was in excellent condition and clean. The living room television (the only one of the three present we used), internet wi-fi, and appliances all worked fine (although we did not use the clothes washer and dryer located in the garage). The kitchen is completely stocked with dishes, glassware, utensils, pots and pans, etc. Most of the living space is upstairs; only the master bedroom and bath are downstairs. We used the upstairs bedroom for convenience and found the king-size bed quite comfortable. We also appreciated being able to keep our car in the garage. This rental property is a good value and is easy to recommend.

Homes always clean and well appointed. Staff are friendly and helpful. Check in is easy. Online reservations are the best way to go.

This is our second time at this same rental unit. It's in the perfect spot to hit the water within five minutes. You can easily hear the surf at night. If you plan on cooking, DO bring all your own spices and oils, etc, as any spices there are old. Oh, and there's salt & pepper, but not in useable shakers. Assume the kitchen has cooking utensils, dishes, silverware, pots and pans, but NOTHING else, and you should be fine, lol.

Great place for a weekend getaway. Clean, Kitchen was well equipped and very comfortable beds. Only issue was the master bedroom TV froze and was unwatchable. They came to fix it but it never worked properly.

The first thing that impressed us when we entered the rental was how clean it was. The kitchen had what we needed without the cupboards and drawers being cluttered. Both bedrooms were a good size and the beds comfortable. The house was located close to the ocean and Fiscalini trails. Overall, a wonderful experience.

We chose this property because of its location at the south entrance to Fiscalini Ranch--as it was shown on the website. The location was wrong, but we credit the management company for working with us on this matter. Hopefullythis error has been corrected. The house was lovely and very comfortable. We cooked all of our breakfast and dinners in and there was adequate kitchen items to accomplish it---with the exception of wine glasses. Oh, there were 4 wine glasses, but no two of them matched. I had to purchase two glasses in order to enjoy watching the sunsets from the balcony after dinner. The bedrooms and baths were well appointed and comfortable. The stairs were somewhat narrow and steep for us old folks, but we managed. We really did enjoy our weeks stay there. We touristed during the day.

Sea'Scape is a wonderful place! The property was clean, it is located in a perfect location, and the communication with the property managers was easy.
