Bird's Eye View - #PH23

Great location. Trails to the preserve are within walking distance. Pick-up/drop-off key is easy. Very clean.

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.

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.

We stayed in a different house for 15 years that is no longer available. This house was perfect for out family and sooo much more comfortable! We love it and will be back in the summer.

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.

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

Found the tv instructions under the sofa, took us a while to sort out. Also, stove top had a gas leak which we reported.

Comfy, cozy, great location to the shoreline, mountains and Paso Robles. Exactly as advertised.

Manager's Response

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.

We had a lovely, relaxing weekend.

Lovely house

Breen was a great rental company. The home is in great shape and had everything we needed. It's quite high on a hill which makes walking a great workout, but may be an issue for some. 4 minute walk to the ocean cliffs and 15 minutes back up! :)

We enjoyed yet another fine stay at this house, Bird's Eye View, in late April/early May. We enjoyed the view during meals from near the top of Park Hill. I enjoyed walking our dog all over the hill and into the open space (Fiscalini Ranch Preserve.) Comfortable, pleasant. Might like a few better place to sit and read other than the living room.

We booked Bird’s Eye View at the last minute, because of fires in the Sequoia NP area and we were delighted by the accommodations. The house was beautiful and worked well for three couples. Especially because of our late booking, the Breen staff was very helpful. We loved the area attractions, the Pacific Coast, especially the elephant seals. We would definitely stay again.

Everything was great. View from the deck was amazing! Plenty of bed and baths for everyone. Only one thing went wrong is the grill would not stay lit. So we ordered pizza .

Manager's Response

Fantastic location. The house and kitchen had everything we needed ... and more! Beautiful sunsets. We hope to return!

Manager's Response

We rented for essentially the month of April. Overall an excellent choice, wonderful location, warm and comfortable, no far from downtown (West Village), good places to walk our dog. We will be back next year.

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.

Manager's Response

Property is well-maintained, with complete kitchen stuff and with close proximity to the Main Street and Moonstone Beach. Only minor downsides are: bedrooms are downstairs which is a bit difficult for seniors like us to be going up and down the stairs, also not having some sort of a maintained fence area for our dogs to do their business. Highly recommend the property for younger couples.

Manager's Response

Bird's Eye View was a wonderful home away from home for us over the Thanksgiving holiday. The view is lovely, and the location is great- walkable to the beach and Fiscalini Ranch for hikes. The kitchen was very well stocked, and had everything we needed to cook our meals. Our only two complaints- the fridge is TINY (very little space for a turkey and groceries for a week), and the beds are VERY firm. Not a problem for some, but not the most comfortable for us. We would definitely rent here again.

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!

The house (Bird's Eye View PH23) is great, very comfortable. Excellent views to the north from the living and dining area. Changes to life in Cambria from the corona virus made life more difficult, so our ability to eat out, shop etc was reduced later in the two weeks. Still a fine house to stay in. We enjoyed our visit. We also enjoyed access to trails and the ocean from Park Hill. A favorite activity was visiting the parking lot at State Park by the Santa Rosa River.

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.

We had a great stay at this rental home. We were a bit leary after reading some of the past reviews but the home was wonderful, clean and fresh. We had a great time and enjoyed both the views and the proximity to the beach at Shamel Park. would book this home again. The rental management company was great to work with - even called us early to let us know that the house was ready and when we picked up the keys received a complimentary bottle of wine. Nice touch!

We stayed here for a bicycle ride for the weekend and couldn’t be more pleased with our selection of rentals. The house had plenty of room and a great view from the balcony. We will be returning with our kids for future stays.

We stayed three months on this property, our home away from home. The view is fantastic. The home was clean and well equipped. It was nice to have the two-car garage even though we only had one car. The neighborhood is nice and the location is fantastic. The two bedrooms downstairs each have their own bathroom. The loft upstairs is reasonably private. We would highly recommend this property.

Three of us (one being our boxer dog) enjoyed six weeks at Bird's Eye View. We love the location, functionality and overall size of the house. The Breen online house pictures and information do portray the house very well; there were no surprises.

Fiscalini Ranch Preserve is a short walk away and much of it is off leash for dogs. The location also allows walking to both the east and west villages of Cambria for those who like walking (and we do). Cambria has some steep hills so walking will include hills. There is very good walking in and around Cambria with much more in the surrounding area.

The house is very comfortable although the carpeted areas are worn but kept clean. The garage is kept quite tidy and can hold two vehicles. Internet, TV and other electronic services/equipment are up-to-date and work well. Furniture, including beds are comfortable. The kitchen has everything one might need, including an impressive assortment of dishes, pots, pans, etc.

We have stayed in Cambria before and love the small town feel and friendliness. Cafes, coffee shops, retail shops, wine tasting, a brewery and much more await. Stores such as Target, Trader Joe's, Costco, Kohls and many others are within easy driving in Paso Robles and San Luis Obispo. There must be upward of several hundred wineries, a score or more breweries and a number of distilleries scattered in this Central Coast region.

I should also mention that working with Breen is very easy; they made suggestions regarding possible houses (dog friendly) in this neighborhood and helped us settle on this house. We had our mail forwarded to Breen and often stopped by to ask questions about the surrounding area.

I found this home to be wonderful, I hated having to leave! The layout felt as though I was back at our own home, many similarities. I kept my husband's ashes with me while there and felt he and I were safe and very comfortable in this house. The location for me was perfect in many ways. Although, all the carpet throughout the house had huge stains all over it, I eventually was able to see beyond this and not let it bother me. The master bedroom continually had a damp, musty smell as well, but I used an air freshner for that, which helped. Glenda and Maria in the management office were very kind and accommodating. I never met the owner, but would have liked to. He was so kind as to allow me to stay extra long under a favorable price agreement, which also made it harder to have to leave the house and area - but sadly, this was totally out of my control. I really wish I were still there. I felt I was at home in so many ways. If for any reason things take a turn for the better, I truly hope to be able to rent this house again. Something to look forward to. Thank you for everything Glenda, maybe I will see you again - soon~~

Always have a wonderful time in Cambria. This home is perfect for a relaxing stay. I love the new hard wood floors

The alleviation of the condition of insanity has been solved now ??

We had an amazing weekend for our family. The weather could not have been better as we celebrated the life of our dear brother who passed away recently. We enjoyed long walks on the Fiscalani Ranch and Moonstone Boardwalk. Cambria has been a special place in our family for more than 35 years and will continue to be in the future.

Our stay was great. The layout of the house was good for us and our dog. We did have a problem wit the stove. The grills are extremely worn and oven was difficult to regulate. Time to replace.

Not sure what happened before we got there but If this were my home, and I found it in the condition that it was, I would have been very very very unhappy. Many, Many pet stains on down stairs carpet, some of them still wet.... Also kitchen pots/pans could use a cleaning. There was visible grease/grime on them.

Family of five stayed in Bird's Eye View for the weekend. The house is in good condition, the kitchen had all of the necessary accessories and there is a nice view of Piedras Blancas off the deck. The kids really enjoyed sleeping in the loft too.

This was a great house for 6 of us. The property was as described

This was the perfect space for our family. Teenagers had their own space upstairs in the loft. The main level served as common space for enjoying meals, games, and movies together. Parents and grandparents each had their own bedroom and bathroom downstairs, which served as a quiet retreat when needed.

We did have a lovely time and did enjoy our stay immensely. Do wish there were more tv's in the house and the loft with the large opening was a little bothersome if the adults wanted to stay up passed the kids but in the end it all worked out and we made great memories here!

Wow! Our experience was truly amazing to say the least. From the time we picked up the keys to the time we dropped them off. Breen vacation rentals thought of everything. The house was fully stocked with supplies. The location is just perfect. Our family (plus 2 dogs) had such a relaxing time it was unbelievable. Just what we needed to get away from our busy lives in Long Beach. We fell in love with the house and Cambria so much that we're planning on buying a home there. Maybe Breen realty can help us out ;) Sincerely, The Alvarado's

We have stayed at this home in the past, love the layout and location. This property allow pets and does show some wear compared to our last visit.
I can not give enough praise to the management, they are all very helpful and professional.

Wonderful place to stay for the holidays. All information was accurate. We loved having hiking opportunities nearby.

The place was clean and reasonably well maintained. Breen Vacation Station provided good service and accommodated our late arrival well. The internet speed was adequate. The TV worked well, but was complicated to figure out. The microwave was too small for cooking and the coffee maker should be replaced. The kitchen was well equipped with utensils and the necessary silverware for 6. The house slept 6 as advertised and was reasonably well maintained. It was cozy. We had a nice stay. Overall I would say we received fair value for the money, but I would recommend the property to a friend or relative with the caveats listed.

This is an older home up the hill from the beach. We were very happy with the location, and especially enjoyed the front deck (pictured). Our party consisted two children, two well-behaved dogs and 2 to 3 adults. We stayed for nearly a month and at no time did we feel overcrowded. The house is very convenient for scenic walks and beach visits with the dogs & kids. The folks at Breen were helpful, especially Nicole who helped us make the arrangements. We were considering several houses for our extended stay and she was very honest in her description of all of them. All correspondence was handled in a timely fashion and everyone was pleasant.
The owners could update a bit. The kitchen faucet leaked and needed replacing during our stay. The internet connection was tenuous the last 10 days of the stay, making work difficult. We went to the local coffee shop and used their Wifi, best coffee ever and nice view so that helped. The mattresses were comfortable, but the sheets had seen better days. The kitchen was fairly well supplied, but the glasses and silverware were cloudy, the dishwasher wasn't quite up to it. 3 bathrooms in very good shape and plenty of towels. The gas fire made for cozy mornings in the lounge with the family. All and all a nice stay.

Place needs more attention

We stayed at this property for three nights in May and generally had a good time. The property is very conveniently located and well kept. We found the kitchen to be really dated especially some of the appliances like the stove and oven. Sadly, the wifi, phone and tv didn't work the entire we were there. The carpet was dusty and stained and probably needs to be replaced. Despite these little things the Birds Eye is a good option if one plans to visit Cambria. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bedrooms nicely situated in the basement.

Terrific. Wish I could have stayed longer.

check in was easy. kitchen was a bit dirty, especially areas like the top of refrigerator; carpet has some stains but otherwise generally clean. Great location--short walk to beach and hiking trails; walkable to town, as well. Can opener was broken (minor complaint) and two of the four burners on the stove had to be lit with a match (electronic ignition was not working). But again, good experience and generally very pleased with our rental experience.

Overall our experience was very good with your office and we enjoyed the cool climate.However,before the carpet was shampooed and the place was deep cleaned,it was not acceptable to us.The staff was very helpful in getting this former lanlords ourselves,I would recommend in replacing the carpet with wood floors especially up stairs,along with replacing the stove and vent/fan assembly in the kitchen-very old and outdated.Also the trees in the rear need to be trimmed below the deck in order to see the coast.But again the staff were very helpful!!

Great location! House is very convenient. House is not very insulated between the floors so you can hear people walking if you have early risers. Ad says it sleeps 8, but there is only bedding for 6. They also advertise that they provide a bottle of "Local Wine" when you check in. We did not check it when we got was not from anywhere near Paso Robles. Otherwise very happy with the rental.

What a great mini-vacation! Our family was all there, and everyone enjoyed themselves. Our stay was kick-back and relaxing . . .just what the doctor ordered. The house was big enough to accommodate all of us, including our black labrador! And, the people I dealt with at Breen Vacation Station were most helpful. They went above and beyond to make our stay memorable! Thank you so much :-)

Had a wonderful time

We found the house to be very comfortable and well appointed. We would definitely return.

Overall this is a good property if you need three bedrooms and three baths. Two bedrooms have their own bath. We thought it might be important for others to know the third bedroom is a loft so there is a little less privacy and the logical bathroom for that room is on the main floor. The kitchen has all the basics but is not equipped for preparing more than simple meals. Seating in the main area for wathching movies etc is limited but it's spacious and carpeted so you can grab a pillow and lay on the floor. Views are awesome and it's a close walk to the beach. We would definitely stay again.

Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay in this great home that was easily accessible to a lovely park, the beach and great walking trails. The kitchen was well equipped with all we needed, the beds comfortable and it was great to have 3 showers!

The property is poorly maintained and needs to be updated.

Had to change to another location as the smell in the downstairs halway and bedrooms was overpowering and it was impossible to sleep

Overall 4/5. Pros: 5 minute walk to the beach, great balcony with views of the ocean, great TV set up, very clean home, cozy living room. Cons: Could not figure out the wi-fi, need new non-stick pans (difficult to cook eggs in cast iron skillet), squeeky floors, which are the ceiling to the two downstairs bedrooms

The home was lovely, me and my husband had a great weekens. He snores therefore, I was able to move to a different room when he was too loud and I could not hear a thing. The view was lovely, we sat at the balcony just to look at the starlit sky and we could hear the water from there. The house was very spacious and came with alot of plus items like extra light bulbs, flashlights...Lovely Stay.
Thank You:

Perfect for two couples.

Nice home, but downstairs bedrooms NEVER feel warm...and upstairs loft was ALWAYS too warm. Middle floor (LR, K/DR, and BR)were fine with heater on. Patio too shady to be used. Backyard totally shade and ground constantly moist so not great for pets. Fireplace is really a pretend old fashioned small stove, helpful with heating the middle floor.

Overall, we were very happy here and will rent it again!

It was my first experience with a weekend rental house and everything exceed my expectations.

I love Cambria and have enjoyed other homes we have rented in the area. However, I am not a big fan of this home. Furnishings in the living area were less than convenient and power lines were running a couple of feet from the 2nd floor balcony. It just didn’t have a great “feel”.

The house is very comfortable and well furnished, the kitchen had many of the items we use at home and we loved the fact that just about everything was organic and earth friendly. The view is just wonderful as is the neighborhood. The upstairs carpet is not new but I suspect that is standard for houses that allow dogs and a good shampoo would more than take care of it, though it was not a problem for us. The house is near Fiscalini and near the ocean...what more could one want?
