Ridgecrest Retreat: 3 BR, 2.5 BA House in Cambria, Sleeps 6

Ridgecrest Retreat: 3BR, 2.5 House in Cambria. Sleeps 6

Welcome To The Ridgecrest Retreat, Your Favorite Home Away From Home! Perched at the top of the ridge that overlooks both the town of Cambria and the Pacific Ocean, this lovely split-level home has 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths in nearly 2000 square feet.

The Space:

You will feel welcome the moment you step inside!

Main Floor: The large, welcoming Great Room with its high ceilings, skylights and many windows is airy and bursting with light. The room offers wonderful views of birds and other wildlife playing in the nearby trees, the hamlet of Cambria, and the hills and Santa Lucia mountains beyond. Its open layout includes a living room space that includes a 65-inch OLED TV with a surround sound system and a gas fireplace that can easily heat up the Great Room and the primary bedroom on the upper level. The spacious and well-equipped kitchen is ready for your cooking inspiration! The dining room opens to a spacious deck with a gas grill and comfortable dining set that welcomes you to dine al fresco.

Second Level: The primary bedroom with its comfortable Queen bed is a haven, with a beautifully remodeled ensuite bathroom with double sinks, walk-in shower, and a bidet toilet. Sliding doors lead to a large deck affording a lovely sunset view of the ocean; the colors at twilight are a sight to behold! The large windows are shaded by light-filtering blinds; open the windows at night and be lulled to sleep by the sound of crashing waves.
Right outside of the primary bedroom is a bright work area to plug in your laptop and check your emails or work (if you must). A half bath (toilet and sink) is also available on this level.

Downstairs: The cozy downstairs area contains two bedrooms, a full bath (also with a bidet toilet!), and the laundry room. The “Aloha” bedroom has a Queen bed and opens out onto a small deck overlooking the charming backyard garden. The small 3rd bedroom/study has a pull-out full-size sofa, as well as a thick futon to use as a mattress topper to add onto the sofa for even more comfort. There is also a separate laundry room complete with an iron and ironing board.

The Location: Tucked into a quiet corner of the desirable Park Hill neighborhood, views of wildlife, including deer, wild turkeys, and colorful songbirds abound. Shamel Park Beach and the spectacular Fiscalini Preserve are within walking distance, while Moonstone Beach and Cambria’s charming East and West Villages—with their shops and restaurants—are just a short drive away.

You will fall in love with the Ridgecrest Retreat, and with all the beauty and serenity the area offers!

Additional Information/ Other Things to Note
Ridgecrest Retreat is our cherished home where we enjoy spending as much time as possible. We hope that you will find it to be a peaceful getaway as well. It is ideal for guests who appreciate thoughtful personal touches, tranquil surroundings, and small-town charm. Because Cambria has experienced a prolonged drought, we kindly ask guests to conserve water during their stay.

The home has three short flights of stairs and no elevator. Because the upper-level windows are nearly ceiling to floor and open wide, young children need to be supervised closely.
Parking is available for 2 cars in the driveway; the garage is not accessible to guests.
An EV charger is available for an extra charge.

A Relaxing Thanksgiving Week

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our second time staying in the Ridgecrest Retreat. We love the location -- high on a ridge overlooking the town and with easy access to the beach and the Fiscalini -- and the house itself, which is light and airy and comfortable. We did have an issue that the hairdryer provided in the master bathroom blew a fuse and we did not have access to the box, but a call to Scenic Coast fixed the situation very quickly. We love the house and we will be back!

Amazing home!

This home is very clean, comfortable, and welcoming. There is a binder that is a must read. It provides all the info you need to make your stay easy. Also of note, for those concerned about the sleeping arrangements, the couch downstairs does indeed pull out to full size once you open the front of the couch as well. A link to instructions is included in the house binder. Overall, I would definitely recommend this home to others.

Wonderful Stay in Cambria

Beautiful location and clean home. Close to Moonstone Beach and Fiscalini Preserve for morning and afternoon walks. Different views from 3 different decks. Peekaboo ocean view, downtown view and garden views as well as beautiful local tree views from the main room. All kitchen ammentities we needed were provided. Upstairs is a little warmer than the downstairs. Parking is a bit awkward being on a hill with no garage access but doable with one car. Overall, we were very happy with our stay. Thank you for making our stay comfortable and beautiful.

Loved this house!

A health issue prevented me from posting a review sooner. All six of us enjoyed the house very much. It was clean and we had a nice views. I loved our master bedroom with ensuite bathroom. One of our other couples had a great room also. The 2nd bathroom was liked by our guests. The only improvement I would suggest is twin XL twin beds in the 3rd bedroom that adults or children would be comfortable sleeping on. Our third couple fortunately brought a queen size air mattress to sleep on. Thankfully they're good sports and focused on all of us being together.

Clean, nice location, two queen beds

House was clean and well-stocked with a nice, bright, open living area upstairs. The house does not sleep 6 adults. There are two queen beds, a high quality foam pad (full size?) we put on the floor for our 14yo, and our 10yo slept on the futon with her legs bent. The futon mattress is thick and comfy, but it is between the arms of the sofa, so only a toddler or small child will fit with straight legs. We were fine, our kids don't care, but if we had six adults we would have been in trouble.

Best View in Cambria!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wow! This rental experience did not disappoint! The home was absolutely beautiful with nice upgraded features, furnishings, and amenities. It had everything we needed for our family of 5. There are multiple decks each with a unique view of Cambria. The home sits high on Park Hill on a corner lot which allows for amazing views. The home is a tri-level floorplan with the primary bedroom upstairs, the main floor on the entry level, and 2 bedrooms on the bottom floor. The main floor is an open great room with a well-appointed kitchen with everything we needed. The property description was not only accurate but better than we expected. The home was clean and well maintained. The only slight issue we had was the lack of space for parking (since we came in our mini-van with a bike rack attached), but were able to park sideways in the driveway. It wasn't a negative but something to consider if traveling in multiple vehicles.The property management company is local so it was easy to communicate with them with our requests and they provided great customer service. The home is close to Moonstone Beach, Shamel Park, Fisalini Ranch Reserve, and Main Street in Cambria. We would highly recommend this home to anyone looking to stay in Cambria. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to staying at this home again in the future.:)
