Month Long - Nottingham Cottage - #PH46

Cambria has been our “go to” ocean destination for 40+ years. We’ve made multiple trips to the Cottage and continue to enjoy our monthly stays there. Though small, it is well maintained and meets our needs very well. We expect to continue to return as long as it is available as a monthly rental.

The sheltered oceanfront deck with good quality seating, is a highlight for outdoor enthusiasts. Indoors, both the living room and main bedroom offer great ocean views. In short, if ocean proximity is your desire, this location is hard to beat.

The staff at Breen is responsive, helpful and friendly. We are always pleased with our interactions with them. Housekeeping is efficient and effective.

We are always pleased with both Breen and Nottingham Cottage and we have yet another a return trip booked for next spring. In the meantime we’ll enjoy a beautiful Rocky Mountain winter.

A wonderful waterfront (an older home that is small, but perfect for the 2 of us). It was a great location for everything, even the town of Cambria was a short 2-mile walk. Highway 1 was just a mile away if you want to explore the area.
The property is as described, and the 2nd bedroom is small. The BBQ needs to be cleaned.
Breem Realty was very easy to work with and they made the whole experience very enjoyable. We will continue to choose Breem Realty to find our vacation stay.

Location, location , location....

We just returned to the Colorado mountains after our third month of May stay in the cottage. We always enjoy our oceanside time and it’s hard to beat the experience there. Great views, nice yard, comfortable patio, plus all the standard indoor amenities we expect. Proximity to Fiscalini Ranch and the bluff walking trail, delightful! Abundant marine life and a wealth of pelicans and seagulls plus cormorants and herons enhance the time outside.

The history of the cottage is fascinating, its original intent being to serve as a lookout for possible Japanese wartime threats. Information on the two generations of family ownership is available in the cottage. We feel fortunate to have been able to spend time there and look forward to more returns in the future.

Loved the location of this home. Had a great month stay and would like to stay here again next year if we can!

Our vacation at Nottingham Cottage couldn't have been better. The location has beautiful views, comfy outdoor furniture, and is walking distance to the beach. Many hours of reading and soaking up the sun were spent on the patio. The cottage is comfortable and clean. We grilled and cooked dinner nightly. We ate dinner together at the large dining table and discussed what our next adventure would be in the area.

This was our second month of May rental experience. We very much enjoyed our time. We have already booked May 2024 for a return. The cottage is not large, not new, but it is well equipped and maintained. It has everything we need for a pleasant stay including a fenced yard for our dogs.

The cottage is beautifully renovated with hardwood floors and the kitchen has very good appliances. The two bedrooms are separated so that even a baby crying in guest room did not wake grandparents in master bedroom.
The faucets in master bedroom were very difficult to work. And a screen door in living room sliding door would be helpful?

We live in the Colorado mountains but love some time on the ocean. We have traveled to Cambria annually for 40 years.

Cambria is our kind of community with a low population density and great walking / hiking opportunities including daily walks on Fiscalini Ranch.

This was our first time in this particular cottage and we enjoyed it. It is not new, it is not fancy, but it is clean, it is well maintained and, the oceanfront location cannot be beaten. We were pleased to read the interesting history of the cottage and its ownership which was provided.

The master bedroom bed was very comfortable making sleeping with the background sound of the ocean waves a pleasant experience.

The back yard is attractively landscaped, fenced, with a large deck nicely sheltered from the prevailing ocean breeze. It was a great place to read a book or enjoy a bottle of Paso Robles red wine and appetizers.

As Cambria remains our “go to” ocean locale, we hope to return to this cottage for another visit in the future.

Nottingham Cottage was very old and rustic, but it was clean and comfortable. The house could use some maintenance, repairs and updating, but the location was fantastic. The Pacific Ocean is essentially in your backyard and the views from the rear deck were spectacular. If you're looking for a modern, upgraded Ritz Carlton type of property, this is not your place. However, the house itself is very warm and cozy with all the basic essentials that you may need. Breen Vacation Station was the property manager and they were extremely accommodating and responsive on anything we needed.

We had 48 hours of bliss. Then the sewer backed up and for the next two weeks we had to time our flushes and showers. There were three plumbers involved and we ended with a hole in the front yard covered by plywood. The very next day we lost power to the refrigerator and the center wall. We used the owner’s extention cord and had to buy two more to complete our stay.

Great little beach cottage with endless ocean views
