A Skyhigh Retreat

We enjoyed our four night stay very much,only complaint is we wish could have been longer!

I felt like I was living among their trees and birds in this pleasant home. It was a wonderful stay—unless you hate climbing a few stairs. One thing I don’t like is how Vrbo is shortening stays with very late check-in times—and very early check-out times!

We enjoyed this property. Lots of light coming in upstairs with all the windows and a sky light, views, balconies for watching the stars, and a fully stocked kitchen. Very peaceful, and nice neighborhood for walks with the dogs. Very clean. Only thing to note is that the beds are not Kings, and my husband is tall so that wasn’t ideal. Also there are alot of stairs so harder for elderly dogs to go up and down (we have a very old senior so had to carry him up and down). Overall nice property and location.

Very charming home for a weekend

Very clean, very comfortable with the exception of the pillows.

We had a wonderful time in Cambria. Highlights: the elephand seals, walking around the Fiscalini Ranch, visiting the Stolo Winery and going to Hearst's Castle. This is our third stay at the Skylight Retreat and we love it.

We absolutely loved this house. It is convenient to town (3 minute drive). Quiet. And surrounded by local wildlife - wild turkeys and deer. Well suited with everything you need.Nice kitchen. Backyard is great for dogs with easy in/out and fully fenced in. Deck of living room is a great spot to sit with a glass of wine and look off in distance. Wait, is that Hearst Castle I see. Have been coming to Cambria for 10 years - hope to come to this house many more times.

We loved our week at Skyhigh in Cambria! The house was exceptionally clean and well appointed. The dog bowls were a nice touch and the view off the front deck amazing! We’re frequent Cambria visitors and will stay there again. The only critique I have is that the beds are queens (not king size) and very soft.

Enjoyed being in a quiet neighborhood, and hearing all the birds. As well as deer and turkeys roaming the neighborhood.

This house longs for updates. There is no sense that it's been attended to and it feels very outdated. If that doesn't matter to you the house is fine. There was lipstick on a glass in cabinet and other dishes needed to be cleaned before using. We rent a house rather than stay in a hotel so we can cook. This house has NO BOWLS, a poor selection of glasses and NO wine glasses! There is no way to light the grill!
The knives are not sharp at all. Downstairs bathroom exhaust fan doesn't work. There is no CURRENT info about Cambria or the surrounding area. We know there's wind but the deck hadn't been swept and it made it look like house wasn't quite ready for renters. The appliances work well and there are lots of lightbulbs!

Enjoyed two weeks nestled in our house surrounded by wandering deer and inquisitive turkeys. Our house was located in the pines, a short mile to the shoreline. No grueling hot temperatures for us. Every morning we sat on our balcony with light jackets and at night we went to sleep burrowed in blankets as the cool air came in our window.

It was lovely. The house is great and Scenic Coast Management are extremely helpful

The house is very nice. Check in was extremely easy. I was surprised to find that the room on the top floor doesn't have a door. Even though the room is on a separate floor there is a lack of privacy with no door that I wished I would've known about. The house was clean and had everything you need. Overall, great location, great house.

Loved our stay in Cambria. The house was spacious, clean and well stocked. The dogs loved the fenced in backyard. Short drive to town and the beach. Can’t wait to visit again

Great house, very clean, well-equipped, and beautifully decorated. Only suggestion is that front porch and decks be swept before each rental.

This house is lovely, perfectly situated and has everything we needed. Comfortable beds, nice kitchen, lots of room. Would definitely stay again.

Clean, quiet, relaxing.

Comfortable, relaxing, shaded deck in the backyard, good for reading.

If stairs are an issue for you, this is definitely not your house to rent. There are 3 levels. The first level is the garage and the front door only so you have to go up 2 flights of stairs to the main level & then 2 more flights to get to the 2nd bed/bath. That said, the bedrooms are spacious, with balcony off the 2nd level. The bed on 2nd floor could be replaced to be as great as the one on the 3rd level. THe location is great for access to just about every thing. The house was well appropriated. We loved our stay there. Great back deck & yard. Fenced if you bring your dog. Had everything.

The property was nice and in a beautiful location--nice to sit out on the deck in the mornings and afternoons and see all of the wildlife and catch glimpses of the ocean. The house was clean and well-appointed. The only slight drawback was that: the plumbing is really loud (so the downstairs bedroom hears all of the shower/bath/toilet noise of the upper floor through the walls/ceiling). For people with mobility issues, the stairs may pose a challenge, though as other posters pointed out, if they are staying on the main floor, everything is there, once you climb up. On our last full day, the fridge stopped working, but thankfully the repairman came out and the company provided a workaround for us - we were grateful to both the company and the owners for addressing the issue so quickly! Overall, a lovely stay, and I would definitely come back.

It was great

We loved our stay in the serene neighborhood. The fog coming in and out added to its beauty. The home is comfortable and kept up nicely. The main living area is two flights up, but once you are there you don't have to climb more. Others mentioned a musty smell, I did notice it in the foyer right off the garage, but this does not impact the living area of the home at all. You will love this place. We brought our granddaughter who is 8 and she loved it as well. Our fur babies felt right at home too. It is so nice to have a place that allows them to join us.

Nice home. Large decks and enclosed private back yard were the highlight of our vacation. Low points we’re bit musty odor when we arrived, beds not very comfortable and pillows were terrible. Cookware needs updating as well But appliances were perfect. Otherwise the home was great. Lots of stairs but doable. Loved the location. Peaceful and so many deer walking around.

I have stayed at the Zacher's rental several times before. The house was a great home base for our time in the area; and we enjoyed our stay.
Please let Eric know that the water filter filler spout, on the kitchen sink, is loose and spins. And that the exhaust fan in the powder room did not work. Neither was an issue. I hope you are able to return the stainless ladel that I left hanging on the stove exhaust hood.

Great rental. Lots of stairs, but very clean and furnished home. Quiet neighborhood. Even the wild turkeys are courteous.

A very cozy rental experience that we have always enjoyed...clean, fresh bedding, lovely beachy decor. Quiet location with only the sounds of the birds in the trees.

The property was in a nice quiet neighborhood..overall experience was good. It was just a little musty and cobwebs abound. The house is well stocked with amenities...would have been nice to have hair dryer.

Great as usual

Great as usual

We like the location in the forest part of Cambria where you sometimes see deer. The house was clean and very organized. We always receive good customer service from Scenic Coast and would recommend this property to friends. This was our 6th stay and we plan on returning.

Great House to rent! Wish the town had uber or an available taxi......

We have stayed here before and both times the property was immaculate and provided every conceivable necessity. We will look to stay at this location every time we visit Cambria.

We have been renting homes from Scenic Coast Properties for 10 years.
We have never had a bad experience, and have always found the homes to be comfortable and and a nicely appointed.
Our last visit was in the home on Lodge Hill. The living room was very comfortable and had lovely views. The kitchen was nicely appointed and met our needs. We especially enjoyed the patio area.

Fantastic house hidden in a forested, quiet part of Cambria. House was clean, spacious, well-equipped, and great for my dog! Manager provided excellent customer service. Would stay here again.

The home was clean and comfortable. Beds were nice and firm. Kitchen was well appointed. Bathrooms lacked only a hair dryer. We have old dogs and found the open stairs too much for them. We ended up blocking them off (a pet gate would have made this convenient). The enclosed back yard has quite a slope but served us well. We enjoyed our stay.

We had a great stay, enjoyed the house.

Lovely house so nicely decorated. Wonderful neighborhood. Clean and well stocked.

2 weeks in Cambria, very consistent weather, comfortable housing, good places to eat, Hearst Castle and other stuff (elephant seals to visit).

You feel like your in a tree house that's full of light and views. This is the only vacation rental where we've stayed in Cambria (and there have been MANY) that we will return to. Don't miss it.

This house had everything we needed for a lovely weekend getaway. It was spotless and very well stocked with tons of towels, paper products, cookware, dishes, and even coffee, tea, spices, and condiments. The beds and the living room furniture are comfortable, so comfortable in fact that we rarely went out. The deer and wild turkey wandering the neighborhood are a delight. There are neighbors close by, but it was very quiet during our stay. My only wish is that there were a king-size bed.

We loved staying here over the new year. The house has a secure backyard for dogs. Gorgeous views from every level. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed for cooking and there were plenty of linens. Nice neighborhood for strolling around, too. We hope to return!

We thoroughly appreciated the location and pristine, clean condition of this condo. Very comfortable and well appointed. It's likely that we will stay there again.

This was one of the most tranquil stays we have had in Cambria. The house was wonderful and the wild turkeys and deer made for very interesting neighbors. We're already trying to figure out when we can return.

A really pretty house with a pet friendly fenced in yard complete with poop scoop & a back deck perfect for hanging out on.
We were amazed that the owners allowed pets as the house was spotless & not at all stripped down for dogs. very well appointed & everything was easy to find. (Only problem was washer was broken & the Cambria Laundramat is like something you'd find" out of country") Otherwise a lovely stay!!

We really enjoyed our stay in this home. Great house! It was very well stocked with everything you might need while away from home. The home was very clean and relaxation of the guests was definitely at the top of the list while setting this house up by the owners. We will definitely return if we can in the future.

just like home!!! we own it and take care of it just like our main home. every detail from furnishings to upkeep will always be maintained
