Great area. Close to downtown and Moonstone beach. Only thing I could suggest is provide shampoo/conditioner and soap in the shower. Lots of deet and wild turkeys in the area.

Wonderful stay as always!

We were thrilled to stay at Karl’s cottage and had an amazing time as always! We were able to see deer and turkeys throughout each day and enjoy the tire and tree swings on the property with our kids, and the upstairs is perfect for running and playing when it’s too windy, rainy, or cold. The house is perfectly located near Moonstone Beach, the playground, Fiscalini Ranch, and the town. We look forward to visiting again!

Loved this cozy cottage. It was nestled among beautiful trees. We were visited in the morning by mama dear and her babies. They came around most mornings. In the evening the turkeys came by. It was close to shopping, golf and wineries. Moonstone beach is beautiful and very close. I would recommend to my best friends.

Peaceful stay - really enjoyed the separate floors personally to provide added privacy and quiet. The upstairs is very large and can sleep plenty if need be. The location was wonderful - right off Highway 1, but quiet and peaceful property. Only 12 minutes from Hearst Castle and 5 to downtown Cambria and coastal boardwalk. Directions and check-in/out instructions were clear. Really enjoyed our peaceful stay here. Only note of advice - don't rely on anything being provided. The property didn't provide soap or shampoo, so make sure you bring 100% of what you need.

Beautiful spot; gorgeous trees, nice view of natures creatures from a distance, very quiet but just a few minutes to beaches, restaurants, and playground. My granddaughter enjoyed the swing and looking for lady bugs.

The water system filter needs to be replaced because the water has a bad smell. Additionally, the communication regarding access to the property is very poor, and the itinerary provided is not helpful. The property view is very nice.

A Gem in the Forest

A delightful little house close to everything and yet set away from the bustle of town. My family had a delightful time staying at this cute little house, a great home base for all the nearby activities. One side note for families traveling with young children; the upstairs is awesome but only accessible externally. It still worked fine for our daughters. The property is gated and safe! Loved the swing too

Cabin Getaway

The property location was beautiful! You feel like you're away from it all and yet the town is close by. The beaches are just a few minutes away.The cabin itself was just the right size for the two of us! It was clean and comfortable. Not all of the windows had blinds and that was a bit unsettling. Be prepared to bring your own soap, shampoo and Kleenex.Overall, we had a wonderful time!

Loved it there!

We loved this property. Its location is perfect - close to the beach, Hearst Castle, cute stores, bars & restaurants. We traveled to Sensorio from there - it was an eaay 35ish minute drive. The home is cozy and has everything you need really. Bring Kuerig coffee pods, or grounds for their small coffee maker. There wasnt any body soap or travel toiletries provided but we managed :)Do note that there are 2 seperate entrances for the main two bedrooms. Both areas are great but they have completely separate entrances. The property is beawith well maintained huge oak trees. We felt very safe & comfortable here and would go back. We had a hiccup with our entry to the property but the owner quickly helped us and all was good! The issue was with VRBO actually, not the owner. Otherwise - everything was great! Thank you Akrl for a greatplace to stay!

This was a very nice place to stay. The location is excellent and great proximity to the local beaches and downtown Cambria. The place was clean and well-kept. Our kids loved roaming around the property amongst all the trees and wildlife. We look forward to staying there again in the future.
