This was our first trip to Cambria. We were pleasantly surprised that the partial view was VERY unobstructed. We enjoyed the living area to be able to relax during some down time. The noise factor from any other guests was never an issue. There were a couple SMALL dings in the ceiling and wall but nothing that couldn’t be overlooked. We look forward to coming again and would love to make this a regular place we stay.

The property was perfectly situated on the strand at Moonstone Beach. The sound of the waves on the beach could easily be heard from our oceanfront room. The ambiance was unsurpassed.

Helpful staff. Good location on Moonstone across from the beach. Dated carpet. Only source of heat is the fireplace, which was nice. Bathroom was dated. Mold on tile. Comfortable bed. Spacious room. In room fridge.
