Getting Here
Cambria is nestled along California’s Central Coast, exactly in between Los Angeles and San Francisco. It is 240 miles north of Los Angeles (3.5 to 4.5-hour drive), 240 miles south of San Francisco (3.5 to 4-hour drive), and 35 miles from San Luis Obispo (approximately a 40-minute drive).
The fastest route if coming north or south is to take Highway 101, but if you have some time take Highway 1 (Pacific Coast Highway) at least part of the way as the scenery is beautiful.
If arriving by plane or train, San Luis Obispo has the closest airport, San Luis Obispo County Airport, and an Amtrak train station. Bus connections are also available from San Luis Obispo to Cambria and timetables and routes can be explored on the SLO Regional Transit Authority.

Reviews
Peaceful Place
"Lisa + Rebecca’s house was a peaceful place to stay. It was very clean and tidy with many kitchen tools for cooking. They obviously took the time to think of their guests’ possible needs, providing thoughtful touches and anticipated extras. Not to mention the ideal location. A true gem in the short-term rental world." -- Lori, January 2023
Very Private
"We really enjoyed our stay at Mermaid Cove. It was way better than expected. Check-in was super easy and the place was spotless and the decor really lovely. While it's on the same property as the hosts, the space is completely separate with its own entrance and yard, it feels very private. We had everything that we needed for our 3-night stay. Lisa and Rebecca were very accommodating and easy to communicate with. My dog even got to enjoy playdates in the spacious yard with their pup Milkshake. The grounds are beautiful and the location is ideal. Super close to the beach, downtown Cambria, Moonstone beach, and more. We will definitely be back for another getaway to beautiful Cambria." -- Kate, January 2023
Fabulous Experience
'Mermaid Cove was more than I expected! Tranquil, peaceful, attention to every detail, comfort at every corner, and the most perfect location. Kitchen is well-stocked and well-equipped, so if you like shop local at the Friday Farmer's Market & prepare your own meals you will be thrilled. Each morning we walked less than a block to Fiscallini Ranch, one of my favorite spots ever. Lisa & Rebecca are fabulous hosts, quick to respond yet respectful of our privacy. All in all a stellar experience that I cannot recommend more highly. One last thing, the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in," -- Christine, February 2023
