Big Views on Lodge Hill - #LH14

Our friends joined us for a quick stay on Lodge Hill. Unit was clean and inviting. Location was convenient with a view of the ocean. Our dogs had a bit of a challenge going up the stairs, but they managed!

We’ve been visiting Cambria for decades, almost always renting a vacation property. First time in this home but not the last. The owners have put together the most well stocked rental of any home (20+ over the years) we’ve rented. We tend to stay in most evenings and prepare special meals. The kitchen is tiny but had everything I needed. I usually bring what I think I’ll use but there was a good selection of spices, dressings. Plenty of back up paper products....foil, napkins etc. The one complaint is the lack of a decent grill. I’ll normally use a grill/bbq four or five nights during our week stay. I always ask before booking about a grill and was told that all rental properties are grill equipped. I’m fine with the most basic charcoal kettle or propane grill as long as it has a decent sized cooking surface. This home did have a very small “camp style” grill....ok for a couple of burgers but not much else. We adjusted and had a great visit. Nice neighborhood, great views. I would definitely recommend this home. We and our furry kids will be back. A guest from Pasadena

Pleasant and comfortable.

We enjoyed our stay. House is in very nice neighborhood, with a lot of deer and wild turkeys right outside. The house was just recently upgraded and is very tastefully decorated and very well stocked for the stay. Nice ocean view and beautiful sunsets. Close driving to the Main street. We would definitely recommend this place.

The home was very comfortable and clean. The kitchen is small, but well equipped and we enjoyed the views. The manager (Breen) was extremely helpful returning something a guest left.

I worked with Haleigh who went above and beyond in assisting with rental search, reservation and checkin. I stay in about 5 rentals a year and this is the first experience with a personalized staff. This unit has a wonderful location for sunsets in closer proximity to Fiscalini ranch which was great for strolls with our pup! The home is meticulously clean. The previous reviews made negative comments about a pet odor due to carpets. We did not find that at all as well as most of the flooring in the home is brand new. the negative would be that The decor, furnishings are outdated. I would not let that stop me from renting it again.

What an absolutely PERFECT place to stay. The view was beyond spectacular and the house is more than well stocked with EVERYTHING anyone may need. The fire pit in the yard really made it. We will definitely be staying here again.

The rental retreat clean, inviting, quite neighborhood. Our dog Zelda content in the secured setting so no barking. Our intent was to have relaxing 4 days in Cambria, hitting great eating restaurants, strolling through the shops, was a unbelievable reminder of how much my wife enjoys shopping.

This house is beautiful and very well equipped....they thought of everything you could possibly need! We had a fantastic time!

My husband, our Goldendoodle and I had a great time. The house was perfect for us. We will definitely return very soon. Breen vacation rentals are the best. We always book through them much better than all the other booking agents, and to make your stay a little special you always get a bottle of delicious local wine from them,

I appreciate that the home allows dogs. The location is great and within walking distance from the Fiscalini Ranch Perserve. The views are lovely on the house decks.
The main problem was the carpet and the odor. The house could really use a deep cleaning of the carpets to remove dog urine stains and smells. I was worried that I would be penalized for some of the dog urine stains because some of them looked quite fresh and weren’t done by my dog. I think a deep carpet cleaning or carpet removal would be really helpful.

This home was in the perfect location as my Mom lives just up the street in a care home so visiting was east.
We’ve been coming to Cambria for 25 years and usually stay at Moms house so this was a little different visit for us.
The house was well equipped. Might be time to change out the carpet for something else but we also understand as pet owners that it’s tough.

Our rental experience as a whole was great. We were looking for a quiet relaxed home to “get away from it all” and this home delivers! Walking distance to Fiscalini Preserve and just good walking around the neighborhood as well. Lots of deer which fascinated our pup! Quick drive to town. The house itself could use some serious updating but overall clean and comfortable. Everything in working order. The decks are cute but not very big, have good views.

We took a quick trip up the coast during the pandemic and it was a good get a way. The views are just like they are in the pictures. The house is very cozy, soft bed and perfect for two. I wouldn't want to make Thanksgiving dinner in the kitchen thou. My husband had a good time counting and taking pictures of all their mermaids in the house. Very cute!

My two month stay was pleasant. In respect to the problems with the Covid19 virus, the owners were extremely considerate. Breen's Glenda and Terri were very helpful.

Manager's Response

What a wonderful place to stay with incredible views. My self and 3 friends had such a nice time in this house and the views were truly “big views”. I would absolutely recommend this house and rental company. They were so nice we very time we spoke with them and accommodated our late check in and shared a nice welcome gift.

Manager's Response

As usual, it was a pleasant and restorative stay.

This cottage will make you feel at home from its cozy living-dining room with fireplace, a fully stocked pantry (if you want to make cinnamon toast you can), friendly deer everywhere, to a beautiful view of the ocean from all three decks! The stars were on spectacular display during this visit. We had a lovely time, relaxing and rejuvenating.

The owners have thought of everything, and it was nice having the kitchen stocked with condiments, napkins, etc. so we just purchased the food we wanted. The location was fabulous, and the sunsets were beautiful from the balcony. We had a great time.

While the place could use some updates, it suited our needs.
The carpet in living area could use a good cleaning and too many area rugs around the living area as well. I also used the vacuum cleaner to tidy up and it was not doing a good job. Turns out the beater bar was full of hair so I had to clean it to make it work better.

Maria was very helpful. We were stranded and she came up with this house that was more than we were expecting and at an affordable price. Our trip ended up being a great success. The location was great and so was the view.

I definitely recommend staying in the Big Views on Lodge Hill home. The location is wonderful...ocean views from just about every room, enjoyable decks and wildlife all around. Hear the waves, watch the deer and relax.
The bedrooms being on separate levels offer privacy. Great for a family with kids or two couples. The kitchen is small but well stocked, and we found everything we needed. The yard is peaceful and inviting.
Overall, a really nice experience.

Great views!

Excellent

Perfect!

This is a great house. We had two couples and two dogs and the setup worked perfectly. The bedrooms are on different levels. The main seating area and dining areas are plenty roomy for 4 adults to sit and talk. The kitchen is small but well stocked and very adequate for cooking meals. The views from this house are unbelievable, from two angles. The residential area around this house is great for walking dogs and close to the beautiful Fiscalini Ranch preserve. The yard is also fenced securely for dogs. It would be helpful if the owners could downsize some of their clutter to make the house feel more comfortable to guests, as another reviewer mentioned, but this should not deter you from renting this house, you will enjoy it!

This was the best vacation that we've had in years! This little place is comfortable and you feel at 'home' the instant that you step inside. Beautiful views from most every window. There is nothing bad that I can possibly say about our stay! Although the kitchen is a little small, we still managed to cook a full Thanksgiving dinner with no issues at all. This house is stocked beyond awesome, and they literally thought of absolutely everything! It was immaculate, the carpets looked freshly cleaned and the whole place was well-put together. It was a joy to wake up and look out the windows and see the ocean just RIGHT THERE! I was absolutely amazed at the views from this house! We will definitely be staying next Thanksgiving with Breen Vacaction Rentals! The staff is awesome and they were always just a phone call away to answer any questions. I will brag about this company and the home that we stayed in for a long, long time!

I have to say that both Breen Vacation and this home has been Very, Very Good o me. I found the Breens to be very helpful and supportive during my time in Cambria. I worked most closely with Chelsea, who is a Wonderful person (very caring, kind, and sensitive in working with both my needs and the needs of the owners...who I also found to be very nice people).

This home is a quite a wonderful surprise to the vacationer once you go beyond the front of the house. The front picture does not do this house justice at all. Enter the sweet looking white picket gate and you find yourself walking up to a lovely front door entrance. The home is extrememly comfortable. I happened to stay at this home for an extended time (about 2 1/2 months split between 2 times), and I found it also a lvery lovely place to live. The home has a very cozy and whimsical feel to it. There is a lot of comfortable seating, a wonderful fireplace, a good kitchen to create lovely meals (with a beautiful view from the kitchen window). Very key..this home has absolutely Spectacular views from all of the 3 balconies! There are 2 bedrooms. I used the upstairs one and found it very comfortable...with a beautiful view from the bedroom balcony (you can see the ocean from the bed :). There are lots of extra pillows and blankets. It seems as if the Owners have put a lot of care and thought into into creating a home where whatever a vacationer might need is available.

The neighborhood is Very peaceful, quiet, and perfect for walks, and hanging out on the balcony.

I truly loved staying here. Thank you :)

Great to be able to kick back over the long weekend with such great views over the ocean and the Fiscalini Ranch. A pleasure too for our dog--it's so good to be able to find a pet-friendly rental in such a beautiful and convenient location.

MY two month stay was very good. I have wondered about the repair to the "shell" lamp that I turned over to Taylor for repair--a new socket.

We spent a lovely New Years weekend at this cozy hill house. Wonderful view of the ocean enjoying a whale sighting now and then, very relaxing. This was not our first visit to this home I don't think it will be our last.

The house is very nicely located with wonderful views of the ocean and coastline. The upstairs is perfect size for a couple (and dog), though downstairs bed+bath would be cold at this time of year. Sadly, the very nice space with its beautiful sea light thought the day is completely cluttered with tchotchkes--mermaids and lighthouses--and too many items of unnecessary furniture. It feels a little claustrophobic after a while and the space would be much improved with a lot fewer theme-setting ornaments. Such a nice space doesn;t need them. But for the rest, the hoiuse is pbvely with all its balconies and a well-equipped kitchen (a coffee grinder would be a nice addition, though). We'll certainly be back.

They aren't kidding when they call this house Big Views. It has great views of the ocean from nearly every room in the house. We had a very pleasant stay and the kitchen was well equipped for us to make a delicious Thanksgiving meal!

Really enjoyed "lodge hill". The view was wonderful, could even hear the ocean at night.

The carpets are delightfully clean!!! Thank you! As always, views spectacular even with the fog; the sunsets delight us.
As always, customer service is reliable, swift and respectful. Breen rules! The 4th of July cookies tasted delicious--thanks! Sea Chest, the only truly New Englandy restaurant around, remains our favorite. And three milk cake at the French Bakery was our new find this visit.

The addition of the sort-of-shag blue rug is a visual plus, but the rug sheds and blue fibers are tracked all over the other carpets. The garbage disposal doesn't work very well. However,the water saving showerhead and faucets were a big help.

Enjoyed a relaxing end to 2013. Beautiful setting and a very comfortable home.

Carpet dirty--garden needs work. The decks are amazing.
Kitchen was a bit more tidy than last time we stayed.

For a last second deal, this was a tremendous experience. The staff was great, the home was wonderful, the location perfect. We had a great time.

We appreciate the improvements in this property: the musty smell has disappeared; the garden is in bloom replacing the mud; the kitchen has been tidied up with less clutter, drawers neatly arranged. We appreciate all the improvements!

A samll but well lighted and comfortable space. Good view.

The garden, previous just mud, has been tended by mother Nature and has returned to a fecund beauty. The carpets still need cleaning--seriously! And the musty smell persists. Beds, kitchen, bathrooms--very clean. The kitchen had been tidied up since our last stay.
Love the decks and saw two shooting stars!

The spectacular views of the ocean from three decks make this an ideal vacation house. The house is well stocked with paper products, linens and condiments. However, the carpet needs to be cleaned, the musty smell needs to be dealt with and the garden should be tended (for these prices). Once those three problems are taken care of, the house will be a give star get-away!

Carpet needs cleaning.
Views and decks make this property special.
Deer in abundance.
Night sky from decks--spectacular.

My stay was restful and energizing. The space was small but the decks and view excellent. Friends Cambrian friends sometimes came to watch the sunset.

We didn't stay in this house. We stayed in #24. This home just wasn't for us. We have been using Breen Realty for over 10 yrs and highly recommend them to everyone interested in renting a vacation home. We really loved the Orlando home, the Wilcombe home is great and this #24 is another favorite. You just can't go wrong with the rentals from Breen Realty. Cambria is one of our favorite places to vacation and we always find so many things to see and fun things to do. The realtors give great recommendations, too. You will LOVE IT!

Recliner was aged and worn. Kitchen faucet leaked. Thermostat needs to be replaced. Living space,kitchen small but workable. Wi-Fi was secured so only the ethernet cable provided service.

The house was advertised as having great views and it really did. The ocean was outside every window. But the living spaces in the house were very tiny, especially the kitchen. The furnishings were in poor condition. The carpet was filthy. We brought our dog and carefully wiped his paws before bringing him inside, but it wouldn't have mattered, the rug was already dirty. Everything from the furniture and bedding to the dishes & cutlery was worn and tired-looking. It was as if the owners said "It's just a rental" and got the bare minimum of quality. It was disappointing.
The location, however, was great. A very nice, quiet neighborhood, and a wonderful place to bring the dog for long enjoyable walks. Lovely views of the sea, easy access to the village of Cambria.
I'll be looking for another vacation rental in this area.

No heat and it was a holiday so we were unable to get ahold of anyone. Other than that the Management company was excellent. This house was a bit small for our family (6) however very nice and would recommend it for two couples or a family with children.
