A Charming Seaside Escape-

Breathtaking, ocean views. Private beach access just steps away from San Simeon Beach, where your dog is welcome to run and play in the surf for miles. Fall asleep to the sound of the crashing waves, and the scent of fresh salt air. The great room has a electric fireplace, a flat screen TV with Direct TV, Wifi access, and a DVD player. Just outside on the deck, you’ll find the propane BBQ. Visit Cambria’s Farmer’s Market on Friday, and bring home your bounty to prepare in the thoughtfully appointed kitchen. There are two queen bedrooms, and a separate full bath for each one. The master’s bath is ‘en suite'. Miles of walking trails just outside of your front door. Walk to the town of San Simeon to visit restaurants and shops. The Elephant Seal Sanctuary, the Hearst Castle, Wm. Randolf Hearst State Beach, and Cambria are all a short drive away. Lots of exploring to do, or just relax in the peace and quiet. Come enjoy our cottage by the Sea and fell your stress disappear!

Frequent visitor
This is the 4th time that we have stayed at this property, spread over several years. Location is perfect, whether we want to walk the few steps to the beach, drive into Paso Robles for wine tasting, or visit Cambria just down the road. It's not fancy, but it is well maintained and very nice. Love that we can bring the dog, and they even provide separate dog towels and their is a small hose on the side of the house for post-beach dog activities.

Nice ocean view with private dog beach access
This is a nice property and would most likely have received 4 or 5 stars except for a problem. Scenic Coast Property mangement did respond promptly and appropriately to the issue after it was identified. There is a nice deck with ocean view and a trail to the private beach that allows dogs as does the property. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking and eating implements. The washer and dryer and dishwasher are great and work well and supplies are provided for both. Unfortunately the home has shag carpet in the main room and bedrooms and this contributed to the problem we had that should have been identified prior to our stay. The house had a severe flea infestatation and even though treated while right away, it was not a complete eradicatilon and Idid get many flea bites. I am allergic to fleas and they LOVE me.

Our family had such a wonderful time! This cute townhouse/condo was perfect for our family of four, plus one 4-legged family member. Easy access to a beautiful beach, incredible ocean view, comfortable beds, and well appointed kitchen. Can’t wait to go back. Thank you for opening your home to us!

Health Hazard- Black Mold and Mildew Throughout the House!
My family and I were meant to stay for 7 nights- we only stayed 3. We started noticing by day 3 that every time we got back to the house we would all start coughing badly, including our 10 month old child most of the night. The coughing would only occur when we were in the house. When we started looking for the cause we found: - Black mold by in almost all the windows - Black mold seeping through the paint in the loft - The fans in BOTH bathrooms were not working (an issue raised by another guest 2 months ago), which only exacerbated the mildew - Humidity throughout the house was so bad that when we laid towels down on the carpet at night, in the morning they were incredibly humid Besides the mold, there were also some more issues with the state of the property: - The BBQ was horribly rusted and corroded due to the sea water. All the dials have turned green and the igniter no longer works. It didn't feel safe using it to cook our food. -No lock on the living room sliding door. Instead, they provide you a stick for you to use as a security measure. - Kitchen not stocked with the basics- no coffee, no salt, some "clean" glasses stained with lipstick - Popcorn kernels and dirty napkins under the couches This property is in a gorgeous location. Yes, the view was partially obstructed but the view to the ocean is still great. The property is in a desperate need of a deep cleaning and repair. There is no excuse for so much black mold and I regret having my family stay here.

Returning for relaxation & coastal beauty
My spouse and I spent a couple nights here 15+ years ago for a getaway wine tasting trip (before having children) . We returned for 3-nights with our teenagers for a relaxing few days to wander along the beaches, hike, visit the elephant seals, and meander through Cambria's shops. It was once again a wonderful getaway.

This property was absolutely beautiful. The home is impeccably clean. The beds are extremely comfortable; the fireplace is so romantic. The kitchen is well stocked… we brought way too much. Coffee on the deck for sunrise and wine 🍷 for sunset. Words cannot describe. We celebrated our 10 year anniversary in our golden years. We will be back and highly recommend

We want to keep this one a secret
The neighbors on the attached property are wonderful. The location is perfect, and the small accommodations are perfect for 2 or 4 people. Short drive to Paso wineries, Morro Beach and even shorter drive to some great restaurants (we recommend Robin's) in Cambria. Our 2nd stay at this property, and we will definitely be returning.

Beautiful Place!
We had a great time this week at 9111 Balboa. It was comfortable … like our buddy went away for a week and let us use the place. Like someone cares more than ‘it’s just a rental.’ WHAT WE LOVED: Gas fireplace, comfy linens on made beds, decent towels, nearly new pots and pans, nice knives and flatwear, sweet deck and furniture, great view, very well stocked kitchen, doggie things (including vet magnet). We only had to turn wi-fi on and off once. Good hot water supply. Safety thing: There is beach access but the trail includes steep stairs that require some agility. Other Feedback: Pre-stay: the VRBO Rental description is VERY out of date and messages I left there were ignored. It was very nerve wracking to have payments due with no way to pay (Scenic Coast Rentals).

Look on Google Maps first
Our stay at San Simeon was pleasant after we got over our initial shock that the house in the picture isn’t what you get. What you get is one of two units. This is not clear. Besides the house is not as” unobstructed an ocean view” as they claim it to be there is one huge house in front of it. Be ready for a sticker shock.

Beach house
Nice view from back deck to ocean with access to beach and open space. Good location for going to Cambria and day trips. Not much as far as restaurants and shops tight there but I didn't mind. Cambria farmers market was great if you’re there in summer. Duplex was quiet and clean. No streaming on tv just basic cable via dish though wifi worked well. I would have appreciated less worn pots and pans since I like to cook. Well worn. Beautiful area.

This is our top choice for San Simeon beach rentals. It’s close to everything you need. We live less than an hour away, however, we can not open our front door & watch & listen to the waves. Our dog is allowed to come with us & he loves the beach as well. Very relaxing stay.

Perfect beach location
The home was very comfortable and clean. The kitchen had everything for us to cook/eat in for our two night stay. The check in process of retrieving the keys and contract from the property management company was less than desired. The WiFi/internet was very slow but I assume it’s because of the location, our phone signals are hit & miss in the area as well. Overall very nice place to stay with private access to the beach below.

Clean and comfortable. Loved hearing the ocean and seeing sunsets from the deck. Beach access isn’t ideal for older folks walking, but there are beautiful beaches within a short driving distance. Morro Bay, Cambria and Harmony are a short drive away south, also and very enjoyable. Elephant seals are close by heading north- a must see.
