About
The Bonny Cottage By The Sea
A Cozy Early Cambria Cabin
The Bonny Cottage, one of Cambria’s original cabins, is poised high in a delightful area affectionately known as Happy Hill. Tranquil, private, surrounded by trees and gardens, it is less than a mile to the villages and to Moonstone Beach. Built in 1923, this cottage retains its original sense of charm and history, yet is thoughtfully appointed for a comfortable stay.
There are two bedrooms with wonderfully-restful beds (one king, one queen) and luxurious linens. There is a master bathroom as well as an ensuite powder room. Shampoo, conditioner and other toiletries and necessities are provided.
The peaceful, intimate living room features a gas fireplace and french doors that open to the sunlight (or starlight), with ocean views beyond. You will find a wide selection of books, as well as two cable TVs and a DVD player. We should mention that the decor changes to celebrate the seasons: autumn, winter, spring and summer, each in its turn.
There is a fully-stocked kitchen complete with glassware, dishes, cookware, and basic pantry supplies. Depending on the weather and your mood, there are also options for outdoor grilling and dining.
After spending your days exploring all that Cambria and California’s central coast have to offer, come home to read under the massive old oak, enjoy a glass of wine or a cup of tea in the gardens, watch the ocean change colors on the sunny deck or sit by the fire at night and listen to the waves...
Single level, short walk to Moonstone Beach or West Village, ocean views, deck, washer / dryer, TV, VCR, wireless Internet, gas fireplace, beautiful yard.TOT#0000548

Rebecca B., Phoenix, AZ US
Our little family had an incredible few days staying in this cottage. We hope to be able to come back one day.
Comfortable Vintage Home
Charlotte E., Indio, CA United States
This was my 3rd visit to this lovely home. The home is nicely appointed and has everything you need. There is a sunny deck the can be enjoyed in the afternoon with a peak of the ocean. Nice bedding. No keurig coffee pot. Great location. Just a short distance to the beach and town
Absolutely Perfect!
Doug F., Albuquerque, NM US
We’ve experienced many vacation rentals and the Bonny Cottage By the Sea exceeded our expectations.
Beautiful cottage, extremely well appointed and equipped. Outside areas are amazing with a nice ocean view which we were not expecting. The cottage is very well maintained and the documentation provided is the best we’ve seen! Highly recommend!
Perfect Getaway to Cambria
Melissa R., Huntington Beach, CA US
We loved our stay ant the Bonny Cottage By the Sea. This cottage is quaint, and comfortable. It is close to Moonstone Beach, the Hearst Winery, Moro Bay, and more. The kitchen is small (really small) but well stocked which is unusual for a rental property. We enjoyed all of the outdoor seating areas, especially the deck off of the living room. The perfect spot to enjoy our coffee in the morning, and wine in the evening. We would definitely stay here again if given the opportunity.
Darling & Cozy

This vacation rental is darling. Every detail of the decor and comfort is outstanding.
Always my favorite
Cheri G., Laguna Niguel, CA United States
Have been visiting Cambria and staying in this cottage on and off for 20 plus years. The cabin is charming, homey, and one of the original Cambria cottages. As well, it has always been a good experience dealing with Scenic Coast.Clearly the family who owns this property has a long standing relationship and it shows. This time was special. I had to cut my visit short and leave early due to Hurricane Hilary. I needed to get south before the storm hit. Accidentally left my earrings behind and worried quite a bit that the finder would keep them. But these are honest people. Valerie received the earrings from her cleaner...thanks to an truthful person. I received a complete refund for the night I lost, and my earrings are being mailed to me. What great folks! I cannot recommend this property management company enough.
Comfortable Vintage Home
Charlotte E., Indio, CA United States
The lovely home is charming if you enjoy the vintage feel. We enjoyed the deck area in the afternoon which offered a peak of the ocean. This was my second visit to the home in the past 2 years. I was happy to see a few upgrades such as new carpet, new microwave and a few other items. I would suggest that the owner consider providing a Keurig coffee pot. We scrubbed one of the copper bottom pans. There are several others that need the same treatment. Lots of deck area and a BBQ is available. The two loveseats in the living room may need the cushions redone. There didn't seem to be much padding in the seat area. Also the TV is a bit challenging. The instructions are not quite correct. However, we did figure it out after a bit of trial and error. I would definitely recommend the home if you are looking for a quiet, comfortable single story home located close to everything.
Quiet, cozy cottage
Recent Guest, Bakersfield, CA US
My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at this charming little cottage. It was clean, the small kitchen was well stocked, the master bed was very comfortable, as well as the living room furniture. We enjoyed the ambiance of candles that were timed to come on each evening in the living room and dining area. There were books and dvd’s to enjoy. Lots of windows to open and let in the ocean breeze. The antiques and photos on the walls of couples and friends having fun together made you feel at home. It was a short drive to downtown Cambria and the beach. And only about 15 minutes to Hearst Castle. The yard needed some attention. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would like to return in the future.
Historical Charmer
Barbara S., Upland, CA Unknown
The cottage was comfy, bright and full of historical charm. Loved the antiques, old photos of happy people, the grounds and of course the ocean view from the front deck and back patio. We were frequented by quails running through the front yard. We walked to town, moonstone beach and the Bluff trail which we highly recommend. This cottage is the most well stocked place we have ever stayed at. This place is a real gem and we enjoyed our stay here.
Quaint Doesn't Say Enough
Jerry Y., Pismo Beach, CA Unknown
If it were possible I would purchase this property for our second home. Currently living 1/2 block up from the ocean in Pismo Beach this property is nowhere near as close, but we love the quaintness/coziness of the unit. We're just so comfortable here.

Cambria Cottage
Recent Guest, Santa Barbara, CA US
The house was very tired and in need to some repair. The yard was messy. The oven didn't work well. There was no propane in the BBQ. It was very clean and the rental company was nice and easy to deal with but the house itself really needed a little TLC.
Great sleeping!
Sue K., Bakersfield, CA United States
Very comfy beds and cool evenings made for excellent sleep in this jewel of a cottage. A jewel needs to be cherished and cared for. TLC, such as new paint and wallpaper, would make this little home appear to be loved and greatly enhance a cosy, comfy stay.
The perfect place for our vacation
Diann K., Ventura, CA Unknown
The perfect place for our vacation.. The cabin was the perfect size for two people and dog and the back patio was a great place for the dog to explore. I personally loved the front deck myself to sit out and listen to the ocean and get a little sun. Despite being an older cabin the kitchen and bathrooms in good shape And the kitchen is perfectly stocked with tools and pots and pans and dishes! Situated on happy Hill, it is about half a mile into town either a nice walk or a quick drive.
Charming cottage with nice shady Deck
Recent Guest, Exeter , CA United States
Loved our stay at Bonny Cottage. House was very cozy. Well appointed, nice comfortable master bed and linens, our dog loved the fenced deck and patio under the shady tree. A very nice binder of info provided by the home owners. A tiny kitchen but we didn’t cook at all just enjoyed all the local food! No grass in the fenced enclosure but we made out fine with the canine potty chores.

Comfy, cozy cottage on Happy Hill
Julie N., Los Angeles, CA US
My husband and I enjoyed the 1920’s country cottage vibe and all the thoughtful amenities. I was delighted to find many little treasures there, including a tea set. One chilly afternoon we enjoyed having friends over for tea by the fireplace. Everything about this place is cozy and comfortable.
A Beautiful Cambria Gem
Gary M., Palmdale, CO United States
This little house was one of the best things to happen to our family in 2021. Beautifully appointed, sparkling clean, the beds were comfortable, and I don't think there was one thing that the owner overlooked. We loved that it was decorated for the Holidays and the many battery operated candles lent so much warm ambience. I'm sure we will return to this lovely home.
To help anyone who is interested in this property: This is and old home, built in the 1920's. It is not completely level. If you suffer from vertigo or otherwise have a balance issue, you may want to check out another property. It took us a day or two to get used to the uneven floor. If you don't mind that, rent this little beauty!

Robin H., San Diego, CA United States

Perfect home away from home
Denis P., Mission Viejo, CA US
The ownership did not leave anything to chance, everything imaginable was there made available to us including dog towels. As owners of VRBO ourselves, it was very appreciated the thought invested behind the provisions available to renters. Very nice, would definitely go again!
Small and Sweet!
Karen F., Birds Landing, CA US
The Bonny Cottage by the Sea, was indeed Bonny! It was very cozy, very clean, and very enjoyable. The neighborhood was quiet, lots of friendly people walking friendly dogs. The front deck with the furniture was fun, we actually got to sit in the sun a few days. The kitchen was very well stocked and we found everything that we needed. Loved all the candles that are in the living room. The beds were comfortable and the cottage was decorated with vintage furniture, photos, and decorations which were very charming. I would certainly stay here again!
COZY BONNY COTTAGE
WILLIAM S., SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, CA United States
We highly recommend Bonny Cottage on Happy Hill as a cozy and inviting place to stay in Cambria. We were impressed enough that booked a return in September, as well as next year. The cottage was perfect for vacationing with our little dog Coco and the fenced yard was great. Bonny Cottage was clean and well maintained and the kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, cups, utensils and cookware, etc. The gas fireplace and candles were a plus. There is both a charcoal and propane grill available, however, in need of a cleaning before use.

3rd time and much improved on the second visit
So comfortable, like visit a family home. Love the fireplace, patios, BBQ deck, tiny ocean view sun deck, FLOWER garden was wonderful! Neighbors were all gone this time, so super quiet, but miss their company. Supper nice neighbors.
Shower head, loose toilet seat, microwave needs replacement door, and loose patio boards, were the only difficulties. Certainly time for new carpet this year. We will be back in Cambria this August.
Always a Fabulous Stay at Bonny Cottage
Cheryl C., Valley Glen, CA United States
We love Bonny Cottage. It's perfect for vacationing with our dog and it helps it's one story. The yard was gorgeous and in full bloom, the gardener is so sweet, we got to meet her. They have night lights and a surge protector. All the kitchen utensils, pots and pans you can need. Also ladies, a hair dryer, save you some packing room. View of the sunset from the deck was amazing.

My daughter and I loved staying in the cottage with our dog Charlie. It was everything we hoped for and more - the place, the location, the property, the convenience, the view. It was cozy and inviting and felt like we were in a Hallmark movie. The fireplace and candles and antiques and amenities - all the little details were thee to make our stay happy. We immediately booked again for a summer vacation in July.

Bonny Cottage Thanksgiving
MATTHEW P., MANHATTAN BEACH, CA United States
A nice small cottage at the top of Happy Hill. For two people and no pets, the cottage was of adequate size for a six day stay. Property was clean upon arrival. The decking and outside furniture has been updated since the photos on the website, and is a very nice addition. Wonderful views off the decks, and the neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils, cookware, etc. There is a both a charcoal and propane grill available - however, the propane tank was empty. So we wound up using the charcoal grill, as there was charcoal and lighter fluid available. One annoyance - several light fixtures that had multiple bulbs had one or two burnt out bulbs. We couldn't find any bulbs in the house, so left a note for the property manager. Overall - a pleasant stay for our Thanksgiving.

Cozy Cottage
Recent Guest, Grover Beach, CA US
My husband and I enjoyed the stay at the cottage. The property manager was very helpful, supplying an extra key when we were locked out. They gave us a goodie bag with helpful info and map about services and attractions in the area. They even provided a list of trails friendly to dogs since we brought our pup. The fenced yard was great for the dog. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, cups and utensils. The beds were very comfortable. It was decorated for the holiday which made it very homey. Loved the gas fireplace and candles. Since we visited over a very wet Christmas week the deck and patios were not used. But would love to return when weather is better and enjoy the view of the ocean from the deck.
Darling Bonnie Cottage in Cambria
Karen G., Henderson, NV US
We loved this darling cottage so much and are still talking about how much we loved staying there! We did not want to leave it was so cozy and comfortable and located in Cambria that has so much to offer! Beautiful beaches, parks and some of the best restaurants not to mention great shopping. We will for sure be back! We loved the fireplace and watching the beautiful sunsets in the evenings. We even saw a porcupine in the meadow out the window when we were eating breakfast. Our stay was magical!!!
Check and see if issues have been resolved before booking
Scott L., Santa Ynez, CA United States
Unfortunately the place has a severe mold issue along with fleas. So I can't recommend it at this time until this issues get resolved.
Manager's Response
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We had plumbing work done recently and there was, indeed, residual moisture under the bathroom cabinet. We removed the floors and side wall of the cabinet. An inspection determined that, while damp, that there was no evidence of black mold. The cabinet and the floor under it were dried and treated. As an aside, the inspection showed no signs of fleas. We are sorry this was an issue during your stay and we are so glad we were able to address this issue immediately.
Great Cambria rental
David S., Moline, IL United States
Cambria location is quiet and a great hub for the SLO area. Rental was very nice. Well equipped. Comfortable, Patio areas were perfect for breakfast in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening.
Reliving Our Marriage
Bennie H., Studio City, CA, CA United States
This is the only place we ever stayed in Cambria. It's a period cabin with lovely patios and decks. The home was all you need. It's not new and modern. It's older but clean. The carpet it's light and as you can imagine has a few stains near the kitchen area. For us it's a second home and where I was married 23 years ago. When you sit on the deck and watch the sun rise or set you'll understand the beauty of Bonnie's House.

My family has stayed at this location for over 10 years (once or twice each year) and every year more items are updated (furniture, internet, digital TV, kitchen amenities, etc.). Close to the top of Happy Hill and within easy walking distance to west end of Cambria and to Moonstone Beach. The office staff are professional, friendly and very knowledgeable of all their properties.
Great Pace!
Recent Guest, BERKELEY, CA US
All around wonderful place. Very clean. Decorated nicely. A comfortable, relaxing experience. Nice garden with many places to sit and enjoy the flowers and greenery. I would definitely stay here again. And the management company was a pleasure to work with. Hearst Castle is a must. And shopping in town is a fun experience. The employee's at Linn's Restaurant are the nicest, friendliest people ever!
A Special Place
Marilyn L., Walnut Creek, CA United States
Previously we have rented other homes in Cambria all more expensive than the Bonny Cottage but none of them quite hit the mark for us. This home was a wonderful surprise. At first glance, the cottage exterior shows its age. However if you look past that you realize that it is a great little property. The outside grounds on the back side are lovely. The tree and plantings offered a serene and cool spot to relax in the late afternoon over a cocktail.On the front side of the cottage is a deck with a very good view of the ocean and sunsets. We enjoyed both options. A small suggestion: the outdoor furniture could be improved for comfort and visual appeal. The cottage feels very private.The neighborhood is attractive and was very quiet during our stay.
The owner deserves a lot of credit for the improvements made to the interior. Considering the age of this home, a complete makeover inside is evident. From the flooring, paint, furniture, kitchen, bath,, bedrooms (great bed), window coverings, gas fireplace, flat screen TV - everything was in excellent condition. It couldn't have been more comfortable and functional. The flameless candles provided a nice touch. Although not especially large, the cottage's coziness was just right. All the natural light and abundance of windows that open for fresh air was appreciated. The pictures give that homey feeling and history that almost make you believe you're part of the family.
The location was perfect. We always enjoy walking the nearby trails at Fiscalini Ranch; and walking the boardwalk at Moonstone Beach never gets old. We intended to eat out one evening but the cottage was so inviting, we cooked and dined in instead. During our stay we toured the backroads of Paso Robles for wine tasting. We recommend Whalebone winery and Michael Gill. We also visited the country Linn Farms buying pies and preserves.
The Bonny Cottage will be our choice for any return trip. Thanks for sharing your home and being d

Recent Guest, Riverside, CA United States
An older, very cozy home with a beautiful garden and view that made you feel secluded (even with close by neighbors) was the perfect getaway. No more than a 5 minute drive to the beach or town (and certainly within walking distance if you don't mind the hilly area), overall great location. Definitely recommended this house to our family and will be staying again! We also highly recommend trying Linn's Bakery for breakfast!

The home is immaculate with the TV, internet upgraded and the kitchen well supplied with all the necessary, pots, pans, containers, even spices and lots of teas and coffees to choose from. Happy Hill is one of the best locations in Cambria--little or no traffic, short distance so you can walk to downtown. Very comfortable beds, large front porch and fenced backyard.

The home is immaculate with the TV, internet upgraded and the kitchen well supplied with all the necessary, pots, pans, containers, even spices and lots of teas and coffees to choose from. Happy Hill is one of the best locations in Cambria--little or no traffic, short distance so you can walk to downtown. Very comfortable beds, large front porch and fenced backyard.
Great Getaway

Birthday Getaway
Paulette S., Palmdale, CA United States
Historic cabin site with lots of potential, large property, circular driveway, 3 patio's quite and peaceful. Lots of birds and deer. Nice view of the ocean from 2 of the patio's and driveway. Kitchen on a slant, curtains in kitchen, dinning and living room are old. Front patio area the wood bends and felt like it would break. Heater worked well, wished we could have stayed longer but had to get back to work.

Relaxing, beautiful, scenic setting. We were very pleased with our stay.
PERFECT LITTLE LOG CABIN!
LInda V., Anaheim, CA United States
PERFECT LITTLE LOG CABIN IN GREAT LOCATION. SET A LITTLE BACK FROM THE ROAD FOR PRIVACY. SINGLE LEVEL SO EASY ON THE KNEES. WONDERFUL VIEWS FROM BOTH FRONT AND BACK DECKS. HUGE OAK TREE OVER THE BACK DECK TO RELAX AND ENJOY A GLASS OF LOCAL WINE. VERY, VERY CLEAN AND EVEN NICER THAN THE PICS. HAVE STAYED 2 YEARS AND WILL STAY AGAIN NEXT YEAR.
Quiet, Comfortable 2 Bedroom Home
Bill M., Merced, CA United States
My son and I (sometime accompanied by our Golden Retriever) have stayed at this property over the past 12 years and each time we visit there are some updates by the owners to make the home more inviting. A complete kitchen with all utensils, gas stove and microwave, wi-fi and cable TV, two relaxing patio areas, and within walking distance of downtown, parks and beaches. Very well maintained and the management is outstanding in providing any needed information or assistance.

Disappointing
clemens s., Huntington Beach, ca United States
The property is in need of repair. The backyard wood patios need maintenance. The shower needs to be updated and fixed as well. The only redeeming quality is that we now appreciate staying in Marine Terrace much more...
very pleasant
Sally S., Laguna Beach, CA United States
relaxing, wonderful air qualty and lovely ocean view...walking distance to most things.
We settled in for a 5 night stay. We loved it every day even more. It may take some guests, like us, to get used to the uneven floor but that is quickly forgotten and the peace and comfort of this coy house wins you over. We had quail, deer, and raccons visit us and the largest flock of turkeys was just down the street at sunset. We come to Cambria to relax and get away from the summer heat. The Bonny Cottage was the perfect choice.
