About

Welcome to Casa Tranquila, a unique house in a location like no other in Cambria.

This open concept, 3 bedroom 3 bath, 3300 square foot house was custom built by the owner and is a mix of Spanish and Southwest design. The house includes a hot tub, pool table, BBQ, three decks, a well-stocked professional kitchen, a fenced back yard with picnic table, and unbroken forest views across Strawberry Canyon and ocean views from the upper bedrooms. The south-facing and wind-protected orientation and passive solar design keeps the house comfy in the winter but if the sun fails to show for a few days there are two wood-burning fireplaces and radiant floor heating. **Please note that due to water restrictions the bathtubs are not usable.** **There is now one side of the garage available for guest use as well as driveway parking!**

The house features spectacular salvage redwood and douglas fir post and beam construction. Every piece of wood in the house could have its own story, from the massive old-growth redwood beams salvaged from Philo near the Anderson Valley to the exposed fir headers from a pier in the Great Salt Lake. The doors and eyebrows are made from timbers from the old creamery in Paso Robles and a washed out bridge up Toro Creek road in Morro Bay, and the flooring and master bedroom vigas are made from Cambria pine. The roof tile, floor and ceramic tile, as well as the wrought iron light fixtures were custom made in Mexico.

Situated on a very private two acre parcel well off the street that is part of the old Rancho Santa Rosa, subdivided back in 1873. Below the house is unbroken mixed pine and oak forest down into Strawberry Canyon and beyond onto the Rancho Marino preserve. Camp Ocean Pines is on the other side of the canyon. This expanse of open space is a magnet for viewing wildlife from the house, including deer, turkey, fox, and many species of birds both big and small that flit around right outside the windows. A walking trail down into the Strawberry Canyon preserve begins at the bottom of the driveway and the ocean is a half-mile walk down the street to Lampton Park and the Marine Terrace. Downtown Cambria is about a five minute drive away. At Casa Tranquila, you can be away from it all but close to it all at the same time.

When you're ready to venture out and explore the beautiful Central Coast you will have many options close by. Hearst Castle and Hearst Winery, perched above the San Simeon Cove, are a short drive up the coast, and the famed Paso Robles wine country is a quick drive east. Charming San Luis Obispo is a 45-minute drive south and the Big Sur Coast is at your doorstep heading north. Cambria is the perfect starting off point for countless adventures.
***THIS HOME REQUIRES A 3 NIGHT MINIMUM STAY****

The place was wonderful - not beach front but close enough and a great retreat. The house was spacious and nice to see just for the details in the construction. We have been at many locations over the years and this house had the best kitchen, best space for storing all our food/goods, best showers, most space, comfortable, quiet and the pool table was more fun than we expected it would be. The only less than perfect score was the hauling of our activity stuff (kayak was left outdoors), but had to haul the golf clubs, kayak gear, bicycles up and down each time (we are pretty active). We totally understand the owners needing space (garage) for their things but it was a bit of a hassle. If we were minimalists it would be a non issue.

Manager's Response

Hi Mike,


We are glad you were able to enjoy your stay regardless of the lack of garage space.

Thank you for the review and for your feedback. It's very important to us.

Casa Tranquilo exceeded our expectations. The architectural details and decor are amazing. We especially enjoyed the peaceful privacy, the bird and wildlife sightings, and sunsets from the beautiful balcony/outdoor living space. We looked forward to sitting in front of the fireplace in the evenings. The fenced in yard was an added convenience for us and our dog. The Strawberry Canyon trails, and greenspace were adjacent to the property, and it is a short walk or drive to shelling in the ocean tide pools or walking the scenic Fiscalini Ranch trails. We have been spending Feb. in Cambria for 16 yrs. and enjoy the small-town charm and hospitality along with the many great dining choices. The Breen Vacation Rental team was friendly, helpful and professional throughout our stay. We highly recommend Cambria and Casa Tranquilo for a stress-free getaway.

Casa Tranquilo is a STUNNING home that offers peace, solitude & a chance to connect with nature daily. (We're already missing the bird calls, crash of the waves & distant morning greetings from the sea lions.) The home was well-stocked, impeccably clean, pet-friendly, incredibly comfortable & features a beautifully designed kitchen that is an absolute treat if you love to cook like my husband & I do! (Honestly, pictures don't do this property 's perfect.) It's an easy 20-minute walk to the beach and/or Fiscalini Ranch Preserve (a 5-minute drive) & a quick 10-minute drive into the village of Cambria. The home's location is driving distance to the heart of Big Sur country within an hour, Paso's many fine vineyards in 20 minutes, and all the many hidden treasures of the SLO area in 30 minutes. The Breen Vacation Station team was a delight to work with & were incredibly accommodating with our questions leading up to our stay & working around our work conflicts for our mid-stay clean. Our time in Cambria (and at Casa Tranquilo) is by far one of our favorite long-term stays we've ever experienced! We're already looking forward to our next stay as we'll certainly be back!

Manager's Response

Thank you so much for the review, Carolyn. We're so, so happy to hear how much you and your husband enjoyed your stay at Casa Tranquilo! Thank you for being our first guests at this rental! We hope to host you two again very soon!
