BEAUTIFUL OCEANFRONT HOME ON THE BLUFFS OF CAMBRIA, CALIFORNIA

Picture do not give the house the full idea of just how wonderful it is. As we walked into the house, we shut off the world and enjoyed our honeymoon. The house has everything we needed except for food. The living room has a great view of the sunsets as well as the back patio The front garden area was very nice on the afternoon while cooking on the bbq. The weather was perfect as was the local wines. The town is a short drive away for supplies and botique shopping. If you are looking for a place to get away , a place that was hand built and there are all sorts of details to find, this is it. I highly recommed this to anyone that wants a great house t ostay on the central coast. We cannot wait to be back!

My husband and I stayed in this house for our 5th anniversary and it was just what we needed. We live in the northern LA area with all the hustle and bustle, so this home and how quiet it was suited us just fine. The only sound was the ocean that you could hear from anywhere in the house.

The view/back patio is amazing. We spent hours just watching the waves come in, the seagulls and pelicans, and the sunset - GORGEOUS! You can go down the steps but with all the giant spaghetti like kelp on the beach there were a ton of flies. The ocean was quite active when we were there but I imagine there are more peaceful waves at different times of year. At dusk you see raccoons scoot by and there are tons of birds too. Really the reason we came was the patio to see/hear the ocean. All the wildlife was unexpected and wonderful.

The home itself is quirky and a combination of an older home and a large new addition that is almost all glass and is where you spend 95% of your time. The fireplace warmed the room just perfectly and the sound and sights of the ocean through the floor to ceiling windows made it perfect. If I had one negative it would be the size of the bed. I think it's listed as a queen but it's very small (short and not very wide). My husband and I are both wide shouldered people and we really struggled sleeping comfortably on our backs. For us, we'd fold up the bed next time (it's a Murphy bed) and bring our air mattress. The good thing is the bed is up high so you can see the ocean easily.

The decor of the house is really ecclectic and great. The bathtub is definitely a piece of art. If you are in any way physically handicapped, the bathtub/shower won't work for you as you go up a ladder to get in. A little revealing with the window but very creative use of space. Hubby and I took a wonderful 2 person bath with plenty of room. For showering it's a little more odd and awkward but I definitely won't forget it. :)

The home was a perfect place for my husband and I to enjoy time together, to see Hearst Castle ( just 12 miles down the road), and enjoy the peacefulness of the cove and quaint town of Cambria. I would highly recommend this stay for a couple who wants a romantic getaway. There is a small second bedroom and a large outside space with a place to BBQ for groups but really it was cozy and lovely for just me and my husband.

We just came home after spending six relaxing nights at Leopold Cove. We loved the location and the quirky, comfortable, clean house; we loved that the kitchen was very well equipped with nice dishes and everything you need to cook nice meals. We are hooked and already looking forward to returning for another getaway.
