Beautiful, cozy home in fantastic location!

This home is the ultimate vacation stay! The furniture and beds were all very comfy; and the furnishings were lovely. The location was amazing - easy walking access to the beautiful coastline and gorgeous views along the way! It was a short drive to see the elephant seals or the sea otters. The host was very helpful with questions prior to our renting it, as well.

Perfect spot for a girl’s weekend!

The location was wonderful! We walked to the Fiscalini trail and to Moonstone Beach. The house was beautiful and perfect for our girl’s trip. We cooked dinner in one night and went out to eat the other. It was a lovely weekend!

Great Getaway

We had an amazing Friends Trip at Terry's house. The location is wonderful - steps to the water, close to everything you need in Cambria, and centrally located to things to do (i.e., Hearst Castle, wine tours, etc.). The house is beautiful and has everything you need. Terry is a great host and communicated with us ahead and throughout our stay. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

Truly a special house

A lovely kitchen (we love to cook), tmany amenities, very comfortable beds, there are stairs, but that wasn't an issue for my group The cliffs were very close, we walked there for sunrises and sunsets, just a little ways away you can go down to the beach. THis was a wonderful retreat for our group, truly magical.

Perfect Holiday Getaway in Cambria

We stayed at this home during the Christmas holiday and had an absolutely wonderful time. The house is impeccably clean, beautifully designed, and perfectly located. Its proximity to the ocean and the ranch walk made our stay even more special. This is, without a doubt, one of the best homes in Cambria, and we would happily stay here again. Truly amazing!

Great weekend away

My friends and I had a great stay here. The home is beautiful and has pretty much anything you could need. Very clean and well maintained home, you can tell the owners really love it. We did some hiking, spent some time in town, hit the farmers market almost all sans car. The water is right there too and we enjoyed the sunsets. Would definitely stay here again.

Stunning house and location

We loved our 3 nights at this magnificent, beautifully furnished house just steps from the beach. Hearing the ocean at night was a huge treat. The beds were really comfortable, the kitchen amazingly well-stocked, and the furnishings tasteful. The hosts were great communicators and answered all questions immediately. The check in process was easy. All instructions were clear. We highly recommend this wonderful house with its super helpful hosts.

About the host

Hosted by Terry & Dave Norton

Host profile image
Our family has been enjoying Cambria since 1994! We are 4 family members that got together to make our dream come true and own a vacation rental in our favorite place. We have enjoyed renting homes all over Cambria and felt that Park Hill was the best of all worlds being so close to town, Shamel park and a quick walk to the trail head of the Ranch. Please feel free to inquire! Also, please check out our other property in Mammoth Lakes (#449098) for reviews since 2009.
Thank you for stopping by!

Why they chose this property

This property is perfectly located in Park Hill where our family walked for many years with our parents, children and dogs. This home means so much to us all. For me, this home honors the memory of my incredible Dad, Bernie.

What makes this property unique

Let the sound of the waves relax you during the day and serenade you to sleep at night! Three houses away from the water and open area with benches for you to carry your wine or morning coffee. Sit on a bench and watch the waves, dolphins and animal life entertain you!
