Lovely!
The home is nestled in trees and yet a short drive to the ocean. For anyone fleeing HOT summer temps in their home town this area is a gorgeous respite. The bedrooms are upstairs and the bathroom has a big bathtub with a gorgeous window out to the tree tops. For a shower you need to use the ground floor bathroom.

Beware!
House was very nice on the interior. Beds comfy, TV, kitchen, decor, all great.
BUT…Driveway will keep us from ever coming back! Not only is it incredibly short and steep right down to the tiny garage (which we never used.). But the driveway apron to the dirt road (which was also very steep) was a gravel and dirt ditch! No traction and lots of skidding. Gravel spraying our Chrysler 300 C, and city ordinance prohibits street parking! Recommend High profile vehicle with 4WD ONLY! .

Nice little home that was close to town and the Christmas light show and market place
Older home that could use a little updating of plugs, carpet and downstairs bathroom fan, but satisfied our short stay. This place is within walking distance of the Christmas light show and market place and has a beautiful back porch area. Although I did mention some of the needed updates, we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!

Great hiking nearby
We enjoyed our stay very much. Checkin was seamless, neighborhood was quiet and it was walking distance (1 mile), from the preserve. The driveway is very steep, so if you have a car with limited power, it could be a challenge. The kitchen had everything we needed, but we would have appreciated knowing which garbage was the recycle one.

August Cambria Retreat
Enjoyed our second stay at this place. Supurb location on a wooded hillside close to town, quiet with few immediate neighbors. Cozy 2 br with a single garage. Clean and well-stocked with all the essentials and comfortable beds. OK ATT cell signal and good wi-fi. (Careful not to lock yourself out in Garage or rear deck with the bathroom-type auto locking door knobs) Only downsides were several carpet stains and a very noisy exhaust fan in the lower level bath. Would definitely stay here again :)

Vacation
Most of the reviews are correct for this home but with some added thoughts. One reviewer says there are a lot of spiders. This home is near a beautiful woods and wildlife so yes, there are spiders most of them are around the outside of the home. The outside around the home could use some cleaning. The inside is just very dated and needs updating but if you don't mind older living then it will be fine. The house just needs updating but it was clean and served our purposes just fine. Another reviewer said that there were kids on a trampoline, which is true, but when we stayed they only jumped on it once and it wasn't loud if you are inside. We spent most of our time on the balcony and the woods right outside are beautiful. The deck needs updating and cleaning but the house is in a great location. The neighbors were nice. The stove is very old but it worked fine. The check in and check out process was easy and I never needed to contact the company during our stay. There is a shower downstairs and the giant tub upstairs. Both worked fine but I can't comment on the heating of the water since we didn't fill the tub. Overall, it was good place to stay but I think the place could be so much better if updated. I don't know if I would stay again. We usually find places with hard wood floors for allergy reasons. This place is all carpet. We chose this place because we booked our vacation really late in the year so all other places were taken. If it's in your price range than I think its a good place to use for a few days.

Loved this little place! Had everything we needed to cook for ourselves and restaurants only a short drive away. Cambria really has it all from sun and beaches to trees and hills. Really enjoyed our first stay here and would definitely come back to this lovely home! Really enjoyed seeing deer right off the porch and the turkeys roaming around every day.

We thoroughly enjoyed Holy Hill and have recommended it since. It was clean, spacious and well equipped. The fireplace was an added bonus. Felt like home away from home. The driveway is a little tricky to park in but we became good at that as well!

Husband and 2 kids had a great visit. House was very inviting and comfortable, like going to moms house. Big bath for kids was fun. Humming birds and wild turkeys visited daily. We love to cook and pots and pans could be updated but we had everything we needed. Plenty of towels and extra blankets. We’d stay here again.

Off work
We went there to relax. But I brought too many things, such as a coffee pot, foil baggies, toliet paper, etc. Never have rented a home before,soo much better than a motel. But the property had all this. The issue we had was with the tv. If you turn on the button on the black box, tv should work, then use the remote. Just be careful of the driveway,huge dip pulling in.
