We had a fabulous time spending a long weekend at this home. I would recommend it to anyone who is thinking about it. He will not be disappointed!

Overall; from the beginning to the end of our 6 day stay it was a very enjoyable experience.

Listening to the waves, seeing the full moon on the ocean, watching dolphins jumping and foraging in the waters, and witnessing the King Tide right out our door was refreshing to our souls. We are now spoiled from staying anywhere else.❤️

Excellent!! Property is beautiful, well appointed, and clean. Three criticisms: 1) Window sill mildew should be addressed at this property 2) One of our party of three killed a termite...we were contacted next day by pest control co that property next door would be tented the day we were leaving 3) If check in time is 4 P.M., I recommend that Breen stay open until at least 4:30 (We arrived on a Sunday)

Lovely location- could use some deep cleaning of couches and windows.

This was my 3rd stay at this beautiful home on the beach. The home is perfect for beach vacations. It’s so comfortable with beautiful views of the ocean.

This home has the most amazing views of the ocean. Access to the beach was easy. Walking on the beach searching for sea glass was one of the highlights of our visit. 6 adults stayed very comfortably in this lovey beach front home. Short walk to town for shopping and dining. Check in was a breeze. The Breen Vacation rentals staff were friendly, helpful and offered excellent suggestions for dining. Would definitely stay here again.

Wow! An incredible find. We had an amazing family vacation experience here. Hope that we can make it back some day. What a gift.

The perfect home for a family getaway! Clean & well stocked with a simply elegant decor. Joyous and wonderful memories were made at this beachfront haven! Looking forward to our return!

This is our 2nd year in a row staying in this home! We LOVE this place and are always so happy with the view, the access to the beach, the deck is safe for little children and we all (3 couples and 3 small children, 2 in pack-in-plays and one in a blow up twin bed at the end of the King Master bedroom, previous approval was given) fit cozy in this house! There are basically 2 master suites, the one in the front has a beautiful full bathroom and walk-in shower, with heated floors, large dining room table for meals. There is so much to do, you can walk 1 mile to town, 1 mile to Fiscalini Ranch, bike trails...and the best is the beach is right out your backdoor (park for the littles only 3 doors down). Sunsets are beautiful every night! I wish we owned this home or could afford to come more often, would be here more often! Note...don’t unplug the booster for the internet in the spare bedroom in the hall, I made that mistake and we didn’t have tv or wifi service...oops! Or, was it really a mistake...? We only were on our devices to take pics and just enjoyed our time together! The bbq could use an update...but it did the job. They updated the stove, which was a plus too. The back bedroom does have a hint of a skunk odor, which was not unbearable.

We have stayed in this house seven times over the last fifteen years and will be back for seven more God willing. It never fails to please. We have shared it with twelve other people and they all loved it.

Great beach location. House had wonderful view right on the beach. It was perfect for our small family get together.

Overall, a very quiet place right on the beach. Great spot for a family to disconnect and relax.

This was about our 3rd or 4th time staying at PH38, (Nottingham), and again, it was great.
Just a couple of very "minor" repair items, (nothing huge), but, we reported them to Glenda and Robert, and they were very understanding and we felt like our comments were well received :)

The view from this house was amazing. It's nice and warm inside with the fireplace. The 3 bed 3 bath setup is cool. Unfortunately the house has been skunked oh, and the whole house smells because of this. We stayed at the house even with the smell and it wasn't so bad, but if you're sensitive to bad smells then this is not the house for you.

Second time here and we will be back! So clean, relaxing and all around wonderful! Love the master bath remodel!!!!

Beautiful location.

This place exceeded our expectations. Beautiful scenery very quiet and can hear the waves all through the house. The place was very clean inside and out. Will definitely want to stay here again. Everyone was courteous and very friendly.
Thank you for an unforgettable experience. 5 Stars.

We had the best time. Wonderful house, great beach access. Not one negative about this place.

Just spent 10 days at this amazing home, and so sad to leave! Thank you so much for creating such a special home/vacation rental for our family (2 Parents, 2 Grandparents and our 12 y/o daughter).
We were all VERY satisfied with our amenities both inside the home and the location (right on Moonstone Beach!! No road in-between!). It felt luxurious. We never went "out" for meals (cooked in every meal or had take-out) because this home/the front deck/beach, was the only place we truly wanted to be. The views of the ocean throughout the day/sunset were spectacular (even saw dolphins, seals, sea otters and pelicans routinely), and we loved hearing the crashing of the waves at night as we drifted off to sleep.

Only request from "Nana": she wished the mattress in the back bedroom was more comfortable ("too thin/felt like a futon"). Outside of that, it was perfect.

Oh, two other notes:
1) the cushion of the wicker chaisse lounge next to the front window is starting to lose it's firmness---feels like it may need replacing (?). All other furniture, though, in the Living Room/Master Bedroom was VERY comfortable, and could sit reading/visiting/enjoying gas fire/watching TV for hours.
2) We didn't realize the Master Bedroom was not fully enclosed/private/sound-proof (large folding closet doors separated Master Bedroom from Living Room). While it worked for us without any problem (with immediate family), good for folks to be aware that Master not fully private.

Finally, Breen Realty very responsive to questions and helpful as well.
All around great family vacation---we'll be back! 'Have already recommended this VRBO to many family and friends! Thank you, again!

This beach front cottage is everything and more than expected. What a wonderful time we had!

3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, beautiful open living room and kitchen area were perfect for us! Loved the fact that there were walking, hiking trails so near to us. Loved Cambria....Shopping: Farmers' Market, yarn shop, small quaint shops. Food: Linn's was fabulous and Lombardi's was like going to Italy! Breen people told us about "Wine Wrangler!" Michael picked us up and took us to 4 wineries for tasting in Paso Robles!!! We toured the Heart Castle and saw the incredible elephant seals! Our Beach Side Paradise was just that! (They had just remodeled the master bathroom!) We were thrilled to stay so close to the ocean.

Simply the most relaxing getaway possible. This is our second stay at this home. Master bath upgrade is very nice. Master bedroom is not very private--louvered doors open to maximize ocean view. We didn't mind.

This home is right on the sand. You can walk on the beach. Gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. The home is very comfortable and relaxing. Perfect location to walk into town.

This was a wonderful place. And being able to walk to Moonstone Beach was great.

This is a wonderful home, tastefully decorated, in a beachfront neighborhood in Cambria. The house was clean and tidy, with plenty of places to sit and relax and enjoy the view. There is a long deck facing the ocean with the sound of the waves that just relaxes you the moment you arrive. Everything was in working order and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well-stocked, and there is a local grocery store that is only a few minutes away.

Additionally, the staff were very friendly and helpful, and both checking in and out was painless.

All the staff at Breen Vacation Rentals were extremely helpful and friendly making the the whole process easy. The house was in a perfect location for wine tasting in Paso Robles, beach walking, and visiting the Hearst Castle. Our only regret was that 3 days wasn't enough time.

This property was amazing! We stayed here for a long weekend. Half of our family stayed at the Fog Catcher Inn and the rest of us stayed at this slice of paradise. It was nice to wake up with your cup of coffee and take a walk down the beach. I will definitely be back!!!

very nice house. Loved the beach access.

Our family had a lovely getaway, watched whales, dolphin and sea otter from the deck. The house was clean, spacious and fun to be in enjoying sunrises and sunsets over Moonstone.

Perfect home with spectacular location right on the beach. I loved that it was one level. My mom is in a small transport chair and it made it so easy.

Rented the house with two other couples for a weekend of wine tasting in Paso Robles and just enjoying the beautiful view of the stormy beach. The house was all that we expected, and more. Were able to prepare a dinner for six, no problem ... everything was there. Definitely will be coming back.

The location and views from the cottage were spectacular. The ocean was steps from the house and we were fortunate to have great weather for the 14 days we rented. The condition of the house was adequate, with a well supplied kitchen, bathroom towels, linens, etc. The living room couches were thread bare and had numerous holes and tears in the coverings. There was a huge stain on the living room rug but the management said a new one would soon be installed. The gas fireplace wasn't working but when we called, someone came the same day and fixed it. Other than wear and tear on the furnishings, and worn bedding, the house was comfortable and acceptably clean. We loved the access to many wonderful restaurants and the near-by walks on The Ranch and Moonstone Beach. We did not cook or grill, but enjoyed the plentiful delicious local cuisine. We want to return, mainly because of the great location.

In good weather, this is the perfect house, on the ocean, with gorgeous sunsets, perfect viewing to watch the pelicans fly by, and dolphins frolicking in the water. Lots of windows to view from inside the house as well as chairs along the deck outside. Would come back. Also, easy access to the beach. Only criticism was the outside deck furniture along the house was very dirty.

The house is literally right on the beach. It has wonderful views and is well laid out. We did enjoy our stay there. I do wish it had mentioned that there is no AC in the house. There is a nice kitchen, with everything you need ( we don't eat out much). The deck was so nice, though I could see it being a little loud during peak season. It was nice going to sleep hearing the waves. Love that it is just a short walk to our favorite restaurant, The Sea Chest. A couple of things were broken when we arrived (dishwasher and stove). Breen worked to get them repaired, but unfortunately the dishwasher never did get fixed, which was a bummer since we do cook a lot. And the house didn't have binoculars, which was odd to me. All the other houses we'd stay at had them. But with the house so close to the ocean, we still saw dolphins, seals, etc. Just up the coast a bit, near where the elephant seals are, we saw a pod of humpback whales! Great place to vacation.

The pictures were accurate, and showed us exactly what we were being offered. The home did not disappoint. Beautiful spot, right on the beach. This was a long weekend planned for 6 Girlfriends. It was a perfect home for us. 3 bathrooms was a bonus. Kitchen was well appointed, except for the dishwasher, which did not work our entire stay. We made dinner every night, all the utensils, plates, glassware, pots, pans, etc. were there for our use. It was such a comfortable setting. Did wine tasting in Paso Robles, toured the Piedras Lighthouse, walked the Fiscalini Park Trails, saw whales, otters, elephant seals, hundreds of different types of birds. Had lunch in town (Robin's), cute shops everywhere (loved the Garden Shed on Main St). Grocery shopping at Cookie Crock and Soto's. And gorgeous sunsets from our deck. Just a perfect 4 days!

We stayed June 19th-June 25th. You enter through the side gate along the left side of the house. On the left side of the deck is a nice outdoor table that seats 10 people which is nice in the afternoon for games, a cocktail, etc. The BBQ is here and the gate that goes right down to the beach. As you go around the back side of the deck, there are 10-12 Adirondack chairs with cushions to sit on. From here all you can see is a gorgeous view of the ocean and beach! We spent every evening watching amazing sunsets. We say 50 dolphins playing for 4 hours one day, whales were breeching, and "Oscar" the otter came every eveining to chow down on muscles he was pulling off the rocks. We were so close we could hear him cracking them on his chest. The house itselt was very nice. The whole back of it is glass with a full view of the ocean. Nicely appointed kitchen with everything you need except for tupperware bowls or something you can store food in. Lots of pots, pans, dishes, glassware,plastic ziplocks, garbage bags, etc. The living room, kitchen table, kitchen are like one big open area so it is nice to be able to visit everyone no matter what you are doing. The bedrooms are nice, especially the master - has larg bathroom, walk in closet, lots of storage. Has accordian doors that open into the living room but this was fine with us. One bedroom has a small closet, the 3rd one has no closet but this was minor for us. It was great that our 3 couples all had their own bathrooms. The laundry facilities worked like a charm. The house was immaculantly clean - and we are picky about this. Use to Marriott 5 stars. We had an amazing time at the Beach Side Paradise. Breen Vacation Station were very professional and provided us with everything we needed. It just doesn't get any better than this place. We are definitely returning to the Beach Side Paradise!!!

The house as in the past provided us with a restful vacation is a spectacular setting. The ambiance of the home enhanced and made our stay completely comfortable.

Lovely on-the-beach site; excellent kitchen. Comfortable beds. Sofas getting tired. Main bath tub is slippery; needs mat and grab bars. Needs a general cleaning.Homey. Nice beach atmosphere.

This was the perfect beach rental. We were 5 moms looking for an easy weekend getway. This rental was beautiful from the moment we pulled up and opened the gate. The views were spectacular. We wine tasted in Paso during the day (only a 30 minute drive) and returned home each day around 4pm for wine, cheese and watch the beautiful sunsets. We were even lucky to watch momma wale and her baby swim by on Saturday night! What a treat. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home! It was the PERFECT weekend getaway.

This home lives up to her name and what a great location! The floor plan is perfect for providing privacy as well as togetherness. A single level home is rare. Truly a wonderful vacation experience.

Nice time with a great view on the beach. Confortable house and great area to run and hike. Playground near for kids. We enjoyed with our 4 kids.

Wonderfull

We truly enjoyed being right on the beach for a weekend with family. We had such a great time we have already booked a longer stay for next year!

The rugs were dirty. One bathroom had a sink leak so bad, it was not usable. Call was made but maint. guy said he couldn't do anything about it. No discount. No comfort from Breen.

I have stayed at this vacation rental for the past 7 years and I would say it is the best location in Cambria. The home is very clean, comfortable and has all the amenities you need. The views of the sunrise and sunsets are breathtaking and you can just step right onto the beach for a leisure walk, jog or run. Cambria is a lovely town with lots of shops and wonderful restaurants.

We have rented this house three times and will again. It's like a home away from home for us. We very much look forward to our next visit there.

Pleasure is full grown only when it is remembered. We will treasure our memory of your gracious home, the ocean - of perpetual symphony . The birds flying as flocks and friends. When we left, we promised we will return.

We spent a week with family in a most beautiful setting with perfect weather. It was restful and most of all comfortable with no need or desire going unfulfilled. All the answers to the questions below are very satisfied and very happy. We have already booked for next year.

very nice place and great location...the family had a wonderful time.

We very much enjoyed our stay. The ocean views were magnificent. The house was well appointed and stocked to fit our needs perfectly. We hope to return some day. Thanks.

Had a great time nice house

Fantastic view. Wonderful house. We will return.

Had an excellent stay in Cambria. Easy to get set up in the house and perfect location. Very relaxing sitting on the deck watching the waves coming ashore and on the last day got to watch the dolphins playing in the waves right off the house. Also found a great photo of the house taken by a local photographer in his shop in Cambria. Would definitely recommend doing the Hearst Castle night tour while staying here. Will probably be back.

The electric outlets in kitchen and master bathroom did not work. Very poor wireless coverage could not use if you were more than 5 ft away from source
Bathtub in master dangerous to enter and exit with no rails as it is very deep and area to step across to enter very wide

Super Vacation Spot

We had a wonderful time, and the home was beautiful. We will definitely return!

This was an amazing experience. The location was amazing, the property was amazing. We had some issues with the fireplace, as it would not turn off, but overall it was a very positive experience.

a well equiped and cozy home with stunning views. We will return

The property was everything advertised.. and of course the location was awesome. Virtually everything we needed was there. We ran into a key issue upon arrival (key didn't match security front gate) but working with office was quickly addressed. We WILL come back. Thx

Although this was an older house, it hac been drastically updated so that the interior was bright and cheery. Even in the 1 cloudy day it was uplifting. Often w a beach rental you are accross the road or some other public space but here you felt you owned the place. Will go back every year.

We loved the home!We will be back from time to time.The time on the deck looking out over the water was total PEACE from the rest of the world!!!!! and the sun sets.

House a little smaller than we expected and patio little dilapidated. Dust and spider webs under beds and on blinds. Disappointing considering cleaning charges. More a cottage than luxury home. But view fantastic, beds comfortable, beautiful sunny exposure.

We love this house, it is beautiful, great view and great location.

Everything about our stay in Cambria and this home was perfect. Looking out on the ocean, walks on the beach and visits to sights and shops was a joy. Sharing this with family added to our happiness. We shall return.

GREAT home to stay. At the end of Moonstone Beach so few walk down that far.....almost our own private beach !!

LOVED the location! House is great- very clean and comfortable.

Our 4 day stay was a true "decompression" we enjoyed every moment of our stay. Some lite travel up to San Simeon and an Anniversary celebration. We are OMS'ing back again.

This house sits on amazing Moonstone Beach with an up-close view of the Pacific Ocean. Three couples stayed there, which just fit the 3 bedrooms and 3 baths. The deck is a perfect place to watch the sunset. But this is a beach house that shows some wear and tear inside. So be prepared. The beds are hard, as are the pillows. The walls are thin, so privacy is non-existent. But still, the location is hard to beat.

Upon arrival, tried to connect to wi-fi. No password available. Nothing taped near the wi-fi transmitter. No instructions. Nothing included in the check-in paperwork. called Breen. Told that they will find out. Later on, Breen called back, gave password over phone. Tried the bed, bedsheets smells. Like it was not washed. Threw the pillowcases and sheets into washer, better. The same evening, tried to use DVD player. Can't get it to work. Tried remotes sitting on top of TV, and one remote stored in a drawer. Called Breen the next day, told that maintenance guy will pay visit. One hour later, no visit. Called Breen back, told actually maintenance guy will call me to schedule a visit. When I asked why there was no instruction already in the house, was told by Susan (?spelling) that Breen only got this rental account RECENTLY. Actually I booked this house in mid-January, two months prior. Also told by Susan that they are in the process of typing and laminating instructions all day long. So I said why don't you email me the instruction? She couldn't. I said for $500 a night I expect better service. Susan said "actaully you already got a great deal. It was discounted."
Wow. So basically I should not expect good service because I am only paying $500 a night. This is very unprofessional. This is the worst vacation rental management I had ever had to deal with, anywhere in the world, France included. When I am on vacation, I don't want to deal with frustration. I don't want to dig through drawers for instructions and find none. The attitude was terrible.

Very nice place, just need a hairdryer and some kids cable channels and it would be perfect.
