We have rented this house many times and have enjoyed the view from the front porch of the yard across the street of two large skeletons sitting in lawn chairs and dressed in seasonal (green st Pattyâs day outfits this time. Also view from back deck of moonstone beach and always the two cats in the window of house in back, sunning and occasionally fighting over choice spot in window. Our was clean & comfortable. Stopped up sink in upstairs br. attended to swiftly.
Down the street from the beach and around the corner from downtown. Great location. My only complaint is that the basement rooms were a little musty, but such are basements.

Great location. Trails to the preserve are within walking distance. Pick-up/drop-off key is easy. Very clean.
Such an ideal location. The home is as advertised and fully stocked (better than our own kitchen!). We hope to return. Thank you for opening this home to guests.

Gorgeous home walking distance to the water. This is a tri level home, two downstairs masters, main floor had living room/kitchen/ third bathroom, upstairs had a loft area overlooking kitchen with two twin beds. Enclosed back yard area for pets.

Fantastic location. The house and kitchen had everything we needed ... and more! Beautiful sunsets. We hope to return!
1. Excellent location - walking distance to Moonstone beach and Fiscalani preserve.
2. Very clean cottage with good amenities - well stocked kitchen, washer, dryer, games, etc.
3. Safe and pretty neighborhood to walk with our kid and dog.
We were apprehensive with some of the past reviews but this house was just perfect for our stay. Mom lives in Cambria and was getting new floors so we had to move her out of her house for a week. We chose this house because it was dog friendly and just above Shamel Park. The house was quiet, very clean and the kitchen was nicely equipped. The bedding is so cozy. Great house. Would not hesitate to rent again.

This is our 3rd or 4th stay at Bird's Eye and it has always been great.Appreciate the strong wifi for those of us who had to do a little work. Only thing I would ask is for 6 seats in the living room and on the deck. Otherwise, this is a perfect location and very affordable.
Great place for a week of remote workâŠand some play! We enjoyed the sea breeze, afternoon sunshine and views. The bathrooms are a bit dated, yet fitting for a beach home. We did have to ventilate the place when we first arrived due to an old area rug that made the place smell bad. The managers were very responsive and dealt with it right away. Overall, it was a nice place to stay and weâd do it again soon!

We come every year and this was a great place to stay. Everything was clean and we had all we needed. Nice view off the balcony - easy central location - close to Fiscalini, Shamel Park, Moonstone Beach, and town. Breen is the best to work with!

After staying in PH23 before, we were looking forward to our three weeks. We were not disappointed. Very enjoyable! Everything worked well. Very comfortable, great location, walk to the beach, near to West Village. We enjoyed many stops to see the waves and the birds at the state beach (near the Santa Rosa Creek.) Recommended!Concerns: Check out erosion and dirt on the wood walkway down to the dog run/back yard. BTW Nice crop of mushrooms down there.

Two weeks at Bird's Eye View PH23 -- weather not so great, a bit wet, foggy windy but stay enjoyable due to the comfort of the home and the view from the living room especially up to the north toward San Simeon. Good to walk over to trails and around Hill, plus down to the water too. We come here every year. Visited Linn's, elephant seals, Morro Bay ST Pk

The accommodations and view were great. BUT - we went on a hot/humid weekend. It is normal for a home in Cambria not to have air conditioning, but this home also did not have any ceiling fans or standing fans. We were all miserable the whole weekend. I suggest the owners replace the main room chandelier with a ceiling fan and provide standing fans in each bedroom.

This is our 3rd extended stay at Bird's Eye View so that in itself is an endorsement. Through wine club membership in three local wineries and our enjoyment of 927 Brewery's craft beer, we have made friends that we enjoy seeing on each visit. We love to walk to all Cambria has to offer at both West Village and East Village and find the trails (including the hills) are a real fitness plus. The house is kept in good shape, has plenty of room and has everything most anyone could need. Breen is always helpful with booking and while in residence at the house. We have our dog with us, there is plenty of room for his crate, and he loves the walking in Fiscalini and in the Park Hill neighborhood. We all love the warm sun on the front deck in the mornings and early afternoons.

This was our second extended stay at Bird's Eye View with our boxer Drake. We like the house and location as we enjoy walking the many good trails near Park Hill (as does our boxer). There have been some upgrades to the house since we visited two years ago; it's always a good sign to see the house kept clean and in good service.Cambria is a very friendly town and we enjoy visiting 927 Brewery, wineries (especially Black Hand), restaurants (Madeline's, Main Street Grill, Creekside Gardens, etc.) and coffee shops (Seed & Soul, Lily's and Cambria Coffee Roasting). There are also a surprising number of interesting shops and galleries. Shops, restaurants, etc. are somewhat evenly split between an east Main Street area and a west Main Street area. The is decent parking for both and very good sidewalks for walking between the two areas.Having two en-suite bedrooms in the house is nice for visitors. The loft provides extra room for two guests or a place to work. The kitchen as most everything one might need, and the kitchen - dining room - living room are open and conducive to easy interaction.The ocean is a short walk away with a small park at the end of Cambridge Street and Shamel Park (nice beach) a couple blocks farther. Walks on boardwalks on lower Fiscalini Preserve and Moonstone Beach are also within walking distance. Much of Cambria is quite hilly so do be aware of this and factor it into walking plans. The walk on upper Fiscalini is maybe 0.3 miles from the front door and only a mild slope to the street; sunset walks are always worth the effort.Breen Vacation Station is easy to work with in arranging a rental and helpful while staying at the house.We look forward to our visits to Cambria and all it and the surrounding area and communities have to offer.
Nice home and neighborhood but would not stay here again
There were positives and negatives about this rental. It is a nice home in a nice neighborhood, but we would not choose this property again.
Pros:
- Home is in a nice neighborhood and only a few minutes from Moonstone Beach.
- The home was clean and overall cozy/comfortable. The beds are decent.
- The property is considered pet friendly.
Cons:
- When we booked this stay we chose a property that was pet friendly. We indicated âyesââwe were bringing pets. There was not an option to specify number of pets. We brought our 3 well traveled dogs who have stayed in hotels and vacation home rentals all over. Literally 2 minutes after after entering the property we received a call from the property management company stating the neighbors called the owners to complain we had 3 dogs on the property and only 2 are permitted. They said this would be an extra charge on top of the pet fees and extra cleaning fee already paid. We agreed to pay the extra charge even though the pet fees already paid seem sufficient. They ended up charging more to my card for this than they quoted. This did not make it feel nearly as âpet friendlyâ as many places we have stayed and it was disturbing to feel we were being watched that closely to get a call within 2 minutes of arriving.
- One of the advantages of a home rental instead of hotels is the ability to cook. This property has plenty of cooking utensils/plates/glasses etc, but there was only 1/2 paper towel roll, an empty foil roll and an empty ziploc bag box. So there was nothing to save leftovers and also no condiments at all. We had to go and purchase these things in addition to soap pumps for the bathrooms since all they provide is hotel like sample size wrapped soap bars.
- The house descriptions makes it sound like the bedrooms are on the first floor and a loft for 2nd story. Due to traveling with elderly parents, was looking for bedrooms on a first floor. Turns out this is tri level and the bedrooms are âdownstairsâ not on the main level.
- We were told at check-in that there is a landline as cell phones may not get good reception. We got little to no cell service in the home. This should be included in the description.
- The bathrooms are outdated compared to rest of house, showers are very small and the sink faucets in all of the bathroom spray everywhere even if barely on. The water also takes a very long time to get warm.
Overall, not worth the high cost for us again.

The house is perfect for us. This was the second time we have stayed here. We have rented from Breen for many years. They give top notch service if something is not working. They fix it right away. We tell everyone about Cambria and Breen.
