A Windsor Castle- #PH29

We have use Green fr the last few times we stayed in Cambria, but at this time Windsor Castle has best stay and will probably use it in the future.

There were only a few items that can and should be addressed:
1-a dinning room chair was broken and could be a safety issue
2-Mutliple ceiling lights in living area were out they should be replaced.
3-lights in some of the bathrooms were out
4-a stair way light was out , could be a safety issue
5-4 out of 5 base bathroom heater we not working, very nice feature is they work.
6-Could have been stocked a bite more

But as a whole we loved the place thoroughly !!

Hot water great, shower good. The kitchen was not as clean as rest of the house. We do cook when we stay at homes. This house was nice but didn't like seeing the power lines. We probably would pick something higher up on the hill so we can look beyond that. Also the road noise was more than we were used to. Overall the house was in very good condition.

Really enjoyed our stay at this property. Centrally located near the ocean to all the great things that are Cambria.

Very nice place. Clean. Good location. Just a block to the ocean.
Nitpicks: No shampoo!! Kitchen lacked some basics: plastic food containers, Saran Wrap, aluminum foil, etc to save leftover meals. TV controls and instructions were daunting. TVs in bedrooms were added plus but old tech. Note for anyone who is physically challenged that the driveway is steep for getting in and out of car.

The home was wonderfully decorated with ample seating for our family. Bed and bath linens were both luxurious and functional.

The hardest part for me to overcome when vacationing is a lumpy bed and scratchy bed linens. You will not find a lump or itchy linen in this rental. If you love a good nights sleep this is the rental for you.

We stayed 5 days and nights. The kitchen appliances and cookware are 1st rate! It was such a pleasure cooking and yes even cleaning in this home.
I wished we could have stayed for another week!

Our boys loved that they had their own bathroom and beds. The front deck was a wonderful place to have a morning cup of coffee. You can hear and smell the tide from the deck that is outside the dining room.

The master bedroom deck was wonderful. A glorious Cypress gave us wonderful shade and a nice place to enjoy the breeze in the late afternoon. We were blessed with wonderful weather and a full moon. The fireplaces in family room, downstairs and master bedrooms all worked without a hitch.

If you have the chance book this rental! The Breen Staff are amazing.

House was nice. Quiet neighborhood. No specific instructions for the house re: fireplaces, so contacted management company as the ones in both bedrooms did not work. They had special thermostats on wall, there was a disconnect in one, and other one pilot was out. both bathrooms had very slow draining sinks. to the point it could overflow while washing your face. Makes you turn the water off, which I guess is good for Cambria's water shortage. told management about it, but since our stay was so short, opted not to have someone come do anything while we were there. They have a smart tv, but you need an app on your phone in order to connect, so bring an HDMI cable and laptop if you want to watch your Netflix. One thing in their paperwork they gave me at the office that made me balk, they say they do not guarantee that things will be working (AC, cable, internet, TV, appliances). Had it said that on the listing, not sure I would have booked. It says it in the contract after you have paid. In future, I will ask rentals to see the fine print before I sign up. I would think it should be expected if you are renting a house, it should be guaranteed that things work, especially appliances, otherwise you would get a hotel. Beach access is walking distance as are some walking trails in the preserve blocks away. Bluff trail is gorgeous.

The location of the property was perfect. Few minutes to the beach and to the downtown Cambria. The house was clean and stocked well.

We loved our stay at A Windsor Castle- this was by far the best house we have rented in Cambria so far. The location is great- short walk to Shamel Park and on to Moonstone Beach. Also easy to walk to Fiscalini Ranch for a longer hike, or nice neighborhood walks by the ocean. The beds were comfortable, the house was very clean, the view was lovely, and we enjoyed it all. The only things I would note- 1) The kitchen is not very well stocked- if you are expecting chef's cookware and a cupboard of spices, this is not the house. Plenty of dishes and wine glasses, a little short on other things. 2) It is a pretty noisy house- meaning if you are in a downstairs bedroom, you can hear any movement above you. If you have kiddos (or adults)who are light sleepers, this could be tricky. Otherwise, we loved it, and would rent again!

Hello, five friends had a wonderful getaway recently at the Windsor Castle. Loved the location-- close to the beach and great walks in the surrouding area; close to Moonstone Beach.
We were disappointed, however, that the Jacuzzi bathtub didn't work or the two gas fireplaces in two bedrooms although they were advertised as doing so. I would suggest that the owners do so if advertising?
We would love to come another time.

Manager's Response

The home is beautiful with amazing views and perfectly located.

Had a really good experience. Would strongly recommend to others interested in a stay at Cambria.

Manager's Response

Very nice place clean and well equipped.
We BBQ and the BBQ needs to be updated/cleaned.
Also the hose sprayer on the kitchen sink did not work properly.
Overall a good place to stay we will rent here again.

My childhood girlfriends and I escaped to beautiful Cambria for a relaxing long weekend of ocean view strolls, long fireside chats and all in this beAutiful home off Windsor. It was a wonderfully comfortable, large 3 bedroom home with space to sleep the 4 of us very comfortably. The beautiful views of the ocean, mega master suite and nice kitchen all had us feeling pampered. I plan to come back with either my parents and/or in-laws.

We really enjoy our stray in Cambria at this home. The house is very clean and nicely decorated
. The furniture could use a little cleaning, but it’s not bad at all. The beds are very comfortable, we slept great. Kitchen is nice, it pretty much just as the essentials, make sure u bring all your own spices, no Tupperware for leftover foods. We loved walking to across to to the ocean and the sunsets were amazing! I would recommend this home and would definitively stay there again!

Manager's Response

My family has stayed at Windsor Castle before and coming back is a testament to what a nice and comfortable home it is. The staff a Breen was friendly and professional. We are looking forward to coming back soon.

Manager's Response

We had a great time staying in this house.We are a family of four, two adults and two children, ages 5 and 8. The split level layout of the house worked well for us. We enjoyed the ocean views and walking to the beach and to the nature preserve. The towels and linens and beds were cozy and comfortable. We would book this house again.

Manager's Response

This was our second time staying at the Windsor Castle. The home is lovely and beautifully maintained, and the location is perfect for enjoying all the area has to offer. We will certainly be back for another winter getaway.
Just one bit of constructive criticism: some amenities (coffee filters, napkins, paper towels) that were present the first time we stayed were not provided this time. It would be helpful to have a list of what is there before we arrive.

Manager's Response

This home provided a perfect getaway for two couples to explore Cambria and visit Hearst Castle in San Simeon. The home is immaculate, quiet and located a block from the ocean. The two master suites were a real plus and the gas fireplaces in the living room and bedrooms were a welcome addition during the cool evenings.

Manager's Response

This house felt like home. Three girlfriends each with their own room and bath. We enjoyed our evenings around the fireplace discussing our experiences for the day and what plans we had to for the next day.

Manager's Response

We really enjoyed our stay at this rental. However, the limitations on how many people could be there at one time was not easy. We were responsible for hosting Christmas Day lunch and that meant having 11 people in the house. This was specifically not allowed and it made the lunch very stressful!

Manager's Response

Great home! Nice to have 2 master suites. The bedrooms and bedding were comfortable and cozy. The house had a well equipped kitchen for cooking meals and great restaurants nearby. Nicely decorated and looked like new. We enjoyed our morning walks to the beach, trails along the coast and around the neighborhood. We’re from Southern California and our son, daughter in law and new granddaughter from Northern Cal found this the perfect meet-up location. We’ll be back!

This house was perfect for our family of 5! We take my 75 year old mom away each year somewhere along the California Coast. This year we choose Cambria and happened to fall into Breen Vacation Station online. Thank God we did. A Windsor Castle was the exact house we were hoping for. The house itself was immaculate! The location was perfect for getting to the beach easy without a million steps. I would recommend this house to anyone in a second!

House is centrally located and very nice size house. The water pressure has a lot to be desired and as the ad says the internet and technology are not guaranteed only the house. When we stayed there was no internet. The modem is DEAD, I did report to management, but did not get a call over the weekend.
The TV's are very 1990's which we only would use at end of day so we used phone as hot spot. ATT does not get service but Verizon does :). Rooms are very large. BBQ is in a terrible location behind garage downstair and kitchen and dining are upstairs. You have to go to town to get a key and drop the key after, but they are lovely people!! So I have to say very mixed review. This is an older home with some good polish, but needs some plumbing help and updated. BTW the garage is very long and skinny.

Went to Cambria for my parents 50th wedding anniversary and rented this home. Its was very nice with great views. Had a few things that did not work but nothing that put a damper on our celebration. We let the rental company know the issues so they could take care of them for the next guests

Extremely comfortable and well-appointed home. We have stayed here in the past and wouldn't hesitate to do it again. The staff at Breen made our arrival and check in seamless. We revisited the La Terraza Mexican Grill and the Sea Chest. They should be on everyone's 'don't miss' list. Thank you Breen Vacation Station and Cambria for a great visit!

This is a great home. Second time we have rented it. Very comfortable and in a great location. The other nice thing is that there are two king beds and all bedrooms have attached baths

This home is more beautiful and spacious than the photos show! All three bedrooms had en suite bathrooms. It was a quick walk to gorgeous Moonstone Beach or old town Cambria. We opened the windows and inhaled the sea air. We sat on the upper deck and watched the stars and planets at night. We slept well in the cushy bedding. I even came home and ordered the same towels because they were so plush.
The gas fireplaces turned on with the flick of a switch. Everything was Hilton Hotels caliber. Only item of note is that the dining table is a round glass table that only fits 4- which is is considering its a 3 bed 3 bath. And you need to bring all your own supplies including essentials like Coffee and Shampoo conditioner. But if you forget, you can go buy them at the Cookie Crock in town. This is a great place and I'm looking forward to returning! Ps- Breen, this place needs a pizza cutter!

Property was very clean, all amenities were available. The view from deck was very relaxing. The house is really nice with comfortable beds.
We enjoyed our stay!

This house was perfect for 6 people. House was very attractive and comfortable. Great price for the size of the house. Had everything we needed.

Very nice home, great for two couples. Nicely appointed, clean and great location

Windsor Castle was a perfect fit for we six women. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well stocked, the the location was great for a morning walk or a deck sit to watch the ocean. We especially liked each bedroom having its own bathroom.

BEAUTIFUL HOME WOULD WANT TO BOOK FOR AN EXTENDED STAY

Very enjoyable and convenient

Peaceful, well cared for, perfect relaxing setting for couples and kids...

Great property. Really enjoyed the close proximity to everything. One day walked at Fiscalini, the next at Moonstone Beach. Lots of shopping and eating downtown and of course, great wineries!

This house is in a great location and has everything you might need. I just wish we could have stayed longer.

My family and I were immediately impressed by this house. The rooms were large, sunny and very clean. The location was the best; a five minute walk to the park and the beach. And only a 10 minute walk to the beautiful Moonstone board walk and all the great restaurants there.

We arrived just before 5 and the staff at the rental agency were very quick to get us situated so we could get to the rental. Windsor Castle did not disappoint. Spacious, clean and nicely appointed. The views are great and my family loved the property. We visit Cambria every couple of years, and I think we'll return over and over again to the Castle. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience. It means the world to me that I could make my mothers 80th birthday celebration even more special by staying in this beautiful property.

Pleasant and relaxing

We love Cambria, and Park Hill is our favorite place to stay. "A Windsor Castle" is a lovely home with all the amenities you could ask for in a vacation rental. Quiet and comfortable, with an ocean view. A well equipped kitchen for those of us who like to cook. And many great restaurants in town if you need a break from washing dishes! The only decision about a morning walk from your front door is right for the beach or left for the ranch lands preserve. We would definitely stay here again.

We always enjoy our stays at Cambria. The Windsor Castle is in a nice location, and we find it to be a satisfactory stay.

We had stayed here every year for the past several years at least twice a year before our friends got a place up Windsor nearer the Fiscallini reserves; but we are so happy to come back to Windsor Castle instead when they decided to sell. This house has the most comfortable beds and well stocked kitchen you could ask for. The fireplaces are a tremendous 'gift' when it is cold - efficiently warming and a tad romantic. But what you can't get or rely on is the excellent guest services Breen provides - excellent response and so thoughtful - they even called us to tell us the house was ready early so we could pick up lunch and the keys and go back and get cozy and rested from the drive. They also have a wonderful 'tech'guy who was so helpful and responsive. I hated to say I would recommend the property, because I selfishly would like to keep it as 'our special place.' But you cannot top this place for comfort, reliable guest services, and the absolute peace and quiet when you get here. Windsor Castle is a 'slice of heaven' you wouldn't want to miss if you are into a quieter, slower paced visit to the Central Coast - your home base for many adventures!!

Idea location and very well maintained. Would stay here again.

It was super! The kitchen and living room facing the ocean nearby was a super treat. This home was spacious, it had 3 bedr/3baths with nice wood flooring and 3 great fireplaces. Very clean, a well equipped kitchen and a nice front and back patio to stand on. However, simple patio furniture was needed to enjoy the view from the front balcony to enjoy sunsets, etc.

Very comfortable home for a family to stay in, excellent facilities and very well located for the beach, town and PCH.

Overall a great time bur a few items were missing that were expected (coffee grinder, hair drier, plastic wrap and/or bags, and napkins.) Two weeks or more to return security deposit varies far far from the norm.

We had a very nice Thanksgiving in Cambria with our family. Having the park and beach so close was a plus for my grandchildren.

Great property, excellent property managers very accommodating!

- Nice house in good location but sits on a busy street
- Walking distance to the beach and nearby parks and walking trails
- Cleanliness could be improved

Front door would not open; thumb bolt was not functional; had to enter via side door of garage. Bathrooms were inadequately supplied; no bar soap for bath, few towels, no shampoo. Shelves in MB were filthy, as was the filter for the forced air exchange. But, the house is basically comfortable, and the view is fantastic. Great location: close to ocean and village.

Wonderful home next just steps from the ocean. Quiet neighborhood. Very nicely appointed and organized. Comfortable beds and furnishings. We had a great time knowing our return after the day was so inviting. Thanks!

It was a wonderful place. Nice amenities. Blessed with kids, their spouses for an awesome weekend. Would definitely use again. Also, we left a valuable piece of electronics, which they had waiting for me at their office. So nice to be working with people of such integrity.

Nice home away from home with family.

We always use this house, fabulous place to stay. Enjoy working with Breen. Always have been very professional.

My wife and I love this house. We wish it was ours and then we wouldn't have to leave.

This house is great for two couples to share since it has two master bedrooms with king beds - rare in Cambria. Location great, close to beach, town and cliff side walks. Very comfortable home with great views of the ocean all the way up the coast. Third stay with more to come.

Well I do have a complaint, the couch in the living room is horrible, the recliner kicks out every time you sit down (sucks). The house is good, but we had to wash the sheets on the master bedroom, they were damp or dirty or not sure, but we had to wash them the 1st day. Other than that all was good.

This is a lovely home: clean, spacious, well-equipped, and with an ocean view.

We have been visiting Cambria since about 1987 or so---love the area. We have stayed at WIndsor Castle many times, love the location and the upstairs area---kitchen, family room, bedroom and master bathroom. We love the idea that we can walk from our place to the Fiscalini Ranch reserve, and walk across the street and see sea otters! We also like being able to fix some meals in the kitchen. We will definitely return!
