What a beautiful and peaceful place to stay. Feels like you’re at the top of Cambria. Hot tub was a complete bonus. Well appointed kitchen. Comfy beds and the fireplace was so cozy in the mornings. Can’t wait to come back soon.

We had never stayed up on Lodge Hill before but found it very pleasant. So quiet, surrounded by trees and wildlife and extremely close to town and the shore. Makes for a perfect getaway!

We stay in Cambria about every 4months. Since my husband is busy at the recording studio I was looking for a nice quiet place to view wild life and the ocean. This house fit the bill. I just loved the wild turkeys and the deer. The inside of the house was very nice. We will visit here again.

Love this area .The home could use some freshening up.Painting on inside update blnds.But all in all it is a great place to stay.

The home had everything we needed to enjoy our annual sister trip. Very quiet and peaceful up on Lodge Hill. It was amazing watching the fog roll in and out from the relaxing hot tub.

Nice house, very comfortable.

Overall, we had a nice stay. The property was clean and tidy, and there was even a view of the coastline. My only complaint is there is no garage door opener and remote for simple inside garage parking. In addition, the spa cover needs a lift support to easily move the cover up and out of the way. However, the pricing for the rental still makes this a solid value.

From check in to check out, our stay was everything we could've hoped for. The house was clean,the beds comfy,and the hot tub perfect for early morning and evening soaks. We'd definitely return.

We’ve stayed at this particular home twice as it is walking distance to family members living in Cambria. Very clean....spotless. Beds were VERY comfortable. Lots of local fauna....deer in the adjoining lots, lots of Jays, turkeys and a very regal golden eagle. A joy to relax and recharge in.

Great view. Really nice layout. Cozy with the right amount of space.

The home was very comfortable and filled with natural light. It is a very quiet neighborhood which brought us a lot of peaceful days. We enjoyed seeing the deer and wild turkeys everyday.

While we spent little time at the rental house it worked very well for hitting the basics. My only small issue was with there being no coffee. Usually at least a starter amount is available. That is a very small issue and would not stop me from renting this place again.

The house was spotless, the kitchen was roomy, and easy to use with plenty of dishes, utensils, appliances and cookware. The rooms are large, the beds comfy—in fact, we enjoyed the house so much we never went into town at all. We’re definitely coming back.

We really enjoy staying at the Merlyn house! We visit Cambria every year.

I can't wait to go back I love the house I didn't want to leave

Great escape from the valley heat, and great private cozy house with a view. We had a wonderful time and the neighbors were very friendly. A great place to see the wild turkeys and deer. And good for walking! I wish I were there so I would get my daily hill walk!

Great place and great location. Pleasant stay n close to everything.

Very clean, VERY comfortable accommodations. Surrounded by a large green lot, very private but also very friendly neighbors. It was very relaxing and rejuvenating.

The home was great. Quiet street and lots of wildlife. We would go back.

The location has a relaxed, woodsy vibe. Fun to see families of deer and wild turkeys in the yard! House has plenty of counter space for meals and the jacuzzi tub is a great way to wind down.

It was wonderful, in that the area was quite quiet, peaceful, beautiful. The fireplace was lovely. The fresh air, trees, and small view of the water, from the upper balcony, was nice. The proximity to Cambria Main St was perfect. Beautiful spots of wildlife. Conversely, the threat of a surcharge for things like "using too many towels" or "moving furniture" was not fun to have to worry about, particularly when we pay so much to stay. No sustained front porch light made it VERY difficult / scary to navigate at nighttime. The patio furniture is so old it's close to breaking when you sit on it. No A/C during a heatwave was tough, especially in the master bedroom. The house feels quite old, too, and sparsely decorated. If you are looking for something more modern, this isn't the place. It has an older cabin feel with an overall look that comes out of the 70's. A HUGE disappointment for us was the constant request to have the jacuzzi serviced when we were there. It wasn't ready, despite asking beforehand. We were in such need of that full body care - a huge reason why we chose the place - but the water was murky and filled with dust, dirt, particles. By the time it was serviced, fully, we had to go.

Being in Cambria is always good. The home was dated, adequate except for the heat which did not work properly.

Cambria is such a wonderful place to go relax and reconnect. We had a wonderful time taking in that slower pace of life. The house was perfect and exactly what we had been looking for. Already looking forward to our next visit!

We enjoyed our stay here. The spa was lovely and everything was clean. The house could use some updating and TLC but is still overall a nice place. Short drive to the Ranch Preserve trails, the beach and downtown. We enjoyed the wildlife and the quietness while staying here.

Our boys and I love staying at 2620 Merlyn. Very clean, kitchen works great, which is important when you have 3 boys, in a quiet area, and location is just right. Not on the beach, which is too expensive, but close enough that beach, woods and town is nearby. We have stayed here several times before and already have plans to stay here again. :)

Great location and neighborhood. Nice deck area for drinks and BBQ. Some maintenance needed inside (dishwasher, kitchen light bulbs) and property mgmt company did check to make sure dishwasher was functioning.

You can tell the house has not been rented in a while with some dust and cobwebs inside. Over all it was more comfortable than a hotel.

My daughter and her friend Missy, had a great time up on the Central Coast.

We had a great time at this 3 bedroom. All the beds were comfortable and we had no complaints.

We had a great time staying in this home in Cambria. The home was laid out very well. The staff at Cambria Vacation Rentals is outstanding. We loved the location. I like a little elbow room and this location provides that. The fireplace is great! I loved it. We also enjoyed the Jacuzzi. There was a minor problem with housekeeping. But, all in all, we enjoyed it and would go there again.

This is our second time in this house, and we really enjoy the location.

Ed and I value our years renting with CVR because they have been excellent partners in helping us find homes we love and return to every year. 2025 marks our third stay at 2166 Sherwood, an amazingly comfortable and well-situated house in Marine Terrace.

Our stay was very relaxing and quiet. The house is very nice, we enjoyed the time there very much.

Heidi and Janet were excellent at Cambria vacation rentals! The house is amazing, and the view is breathtaking!
Walking the Trails of Fisscalini a daily ritual.

Quiet. Close to hear the ocean, but not right at the ocean’s very edge.

We have been renting vacation homes in Cambria over the last 30 or so years and Sea Watch is definitely one of the best if not the all time best home. Thank you homeowners for the hospitality your Sea Watch home has provided us. We can't wait to return sometime in the future.

We have nothing but praise for CVR and this property! Love the location, love the fully equipped kitchen. Exceptionally clean and well maintained.

The best!

Perfect location to host family from the East Coast.

Sixth time we have stayed in the Sea Watch in the last 20 years. Super well-equipped kitchen, spacious, comfortable, tastefully decorated and all the amenities you need for a great stay. Close to the East-West trails, ocean views from the upstairs living area.

we have had an extended stay in Cambria for over 12 years. this is our favorite house and we have been in some impressive houses. House was impeccably clean when we arrived, the fridge was spotless and a couple of the jets in the spa that had been out had been repaired- spa was great. for a beach home with full window floor to ceiling facing west it is able to control the afternoon temps well (some can get a bit warm due to less than stellar air movement). downstairs (bedrooms) is always cool and great for sleeping, the two front bedroom windows are easily close enough to hear the surf well if you want that experience.. nothing needs to change/improve

Great house, great location, great amenities. We will definitely rent SeaWatch again. As always, Cambria Vacation Rentals were so accommodating and kind. They have the best houses.

Great rental house.Price was worth the closeness to beach and the home was very well maintained.

We've rented this house at least 5 times in the past and never been disappointed. Location is everything. The deck is huge and that's the best part. House is always clean and views are breath taking. Love the walks and access to the ranch. We'll do it again.
I love renting from Cambria Vacation Rentals. Everyone is so nice and eager to please. Thanks again.

We enjoyed a wonderful week at this comfortable property. The website description was accurate and we were very satisfied with the cleanliness, the amenities, and the location.
