Pictures can't adequately show the gorgeous views from this place! Steps to the beach, as in maybe 20 steps, literally. Private access to the beach (as in not open to general public to use the path and stairs). The path and steps, however, are shared with a few other neighbors. The neighborhood is quiet. There are two sitting/TV areas. Upstairs sitting area was our favorite. It has a sky light and high windows so there's a lot of natural light. The kitchen had everything we needed, but it is very small; there's room for only one cook. Comfortable beds. Even the pickiest sleeper among us was satisfied with the beds. Extra beach towels provided. There are also a couple of folding chairs to take to the beach. If you have children, you'll need to bring your own beach toys. Lots of outdoor seating on the deck. Plenty of parking (we had 3 cars). Just minutes away from Cambria shopping/dining. There are some restaurants in San Simeon but we preferred to go to Cambria restaurants with better reviews. Main Street Grill in Cambria does take-out and we loved their BBQ menu items. Property Management was professional and friendly. Checking in and out was easy. No extra cleaning to do before checking out. Overall, we loved this place. Family voted to book again.
