Enjoyed cute little house. We had a great time and it was perfect for our family. Loved the ocean view from the deck and very clean. Would definitely go back again!

We enjoyed the Benson home during the month of July. It's a comfortable, clean, and peaceful place. It's always nice seeing the beach and the sunset from the deck every day. We will return again!
Thank you, Coastal Escapes, and the homeowners.

Mary G. from United States recommends this vacation rental.

We appreciated the lovely home for two months. It's a very relaxing place to live, especially during this chaotic time in our country. Trails, beaches, grocery stores, Farmers Market, restaurants are available in minutes. Enjoyed seeing sunsets every evening from the deck.
The woodpeckers tried hard to store their acorns in the walls of the house. The kind homeowners are trying to get those birds to move elsewhere!
We look forward to being on the coast often.

Patrick M. from Rancho Cucamonga, CA United States recommends this vacation rental.

Overall a very nice stay (4 nights) and good value. Could definitely use some de-cluttering from a family flea market feeling, and some basic TLC of the place, esp. the plumbing. We're quite experienced with Cambria properties, this one takes much longer than average to get hot water going, probably a dated or defective hot water heater. Seems wasteful given the perpetual drought. The back sun room would be so much nicer with some basic upkeep. Kitchen is well stocked with enough dishes for a large family reunion but surprisingly missing a few basics like a non-stick skillet (only 2 cast iron), a serrated knife and so on. Just tips. Again, the place was generally fine, location is great, neighbors are friendly. We'd definitely return.

George K. from Orange, CA United States recommends this vacation rental.

At first glance, this property looks a little dicey but I found myself totally enjoying my stay. The inside of the home is very inviting with lots of knick knacks (almost too much) but I can tell the homeowners love their house. The kitchen is small but well stocked for my cooking needs. The deck was nice for barbecuing. The bed was very comfortable with lots of blankets for the chilly nights. Had a major storm during my stay and part of the home's electricity went out. I made one phone call and a repair person was there within a half hour. While the service came back on by itself later in the evening, every effort was made to restore the power including the repair person in the wind and rain checking the breaker box. The problem was apparently with the power pole but, like I said, everything turned on later. The shower at times went from hot to cold but all in all, this property is worth the money and I would definitely stay here again. Teresa and Rhonda are both great employees for Coastal Escapes and that's why I keep coming back because of the excellent service and the wonderful area. The only reason I gave it a 4 star rating is because of the inconvenience of the electricity going out but that happens and the service I got more than made up for it.

Marius P. from San Jose, CA United States recommends this vacation rental.

Overall very good experience. Nice house in a very good location. For a cleaning fee of $100 you would expect it to be spotless which it wasn't but still good enough not to be an issue. Some issues with hot water - cold water stream in a middle of taking a shower but we could live with that too. I would recommend it and would rent it again myself.

Sam J. from Bakersfield, CA United States recommends this vacation rental.

We have stayed at this house a few over the past 20 years. It is a lovely home with peek-a-boo oceans views. It needs some loving care, deep cleaning, decluttering and general maintenance. All these areas have diminished over the years.

The house was great again, I am giving up on using that hot tub, the trees or bushes get a lot of debree in it, it was not close to being full and an ant colony had taken refuge under the cover, so we abbandoned using it again, but the house is great

All was a pleasure - this is the second time we've stayed at this location. Thanks for all you do to prepare the place!

You should know, however, that the hot tub would not turn off - it needs servicing.

Thanks again,

We were in the home for a very short amount of time but found it very comfortable. I wish there had been a WiFi connection instead of dial-up.


It was a great place to stay. The only thing that would of made it better is if the hot tup was working. For sure we would could back then. The hills were a good workout for sure.

This is an enjoyable, homey house. It's cozy yet roomy enough as well. This is the first time we've had a third person stay with us and it was perfect because of the second full sized bath. We weren't sure of what needed to be done as far as clean up for check out, other than closing the windowes and blinds. A list of things (dishes, trash, etc.) would have been helpful.

The house had a great view of the ocean. It was overly cluttered with décor and I was afraid that the cabinets were going to fall down at any moment due to the amount of dishes inside. I loved the loft and that there was a functioning garage! A rare find in rental homes lately.

Lisa P. from Fresno, CA United States recommends this vacation rental.

This was our first time renting a house, so we really didn't know what to expect. Mainly, we were hoping for something that was close to the beach and both more comfortable and less costly than a hotel. We got much more! It wasn't fancy, but the house we rented was great. It had everything we needed plus a few thoughtful extras. My family and I couldn't be happier. Also, the management was friendly and was willing to work with us when we needed to make changes due to my husband's unforeseen work plans.

Overall, we were very satisfied with this rental with one or two small exceptions. The view was somewhat detracted by the cables and wires right in front of the deck and we found the chairs rather small for adults. Also, there was a musty smell. Otherwise the house was pretty good.
