This immaculately clean and well appointed home with white water views is located on a knoll just three very short blocks from the ocean. The house, which sleeps seven, is wheel chair accessible, has two bedrooms, a den with a comfortable Queen sofa bed, two and one half bathrooms, kitchen, and a dining room. Children are welcomed, as are well-behaved dogs with a security deposit. Cambria, a quaint seaside village on the California Central Coast located midway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, is nestled in a Monterey pine forest at the foot of the picturesque Highway One and Big Sur coastline. Hearst Castle, San Simeon, is just six miles north and over 100 wineries in Paso Robles & San Luis Obispo , are all within a scenic drive. Cambria is an artist colony and contains many fine galleries, antique shops and several outstanding restaurants. Local live theater and an interesting Elephant Seal colony are just two of the many entertaining diversions available. The surfing conditions are ideal and the beaches are un-crowded. There are wonderful biking and hiking trails, and kayaking is always an option.

Here's what "San Francisco" magazine said in Feb. 2007 -

"The most relaxing experience is to be had by renting one of the many private homes available along the water and up the seaside hill. Your first choice should be Walter and Elaine Evans’s Big Red House. The airy structure is decorated with impressive art and furniture far more modern than the typical seaside cottage’s. A two-block walk from the beach, it has cul-de-sac seclusion, ocean views, and creature comforts like DVDs and magazines to curl up with. The Evanses are next door, on hand to offer advice should you choose to leave the comforts of their home."
                                     


Comments From our Guestbook

"As I sit here in the living room, watching the sun go down over the Pacific, I think back on the five wonderful days that Don & I (and of course our “children” McKenna & George) have had in Cambria. Your lovely home was so restful   and located in such a beautiful place! We take home with us precious memories, and so many of them are of time spent in and around The Big Red House. Thank you again for making our cambria vacation so special. Your kindness will be remembered! God bless and we hope to see you again."

"We came to rest, relax and enjoy the awesome beauty of God’s creation. It has been more than we could even imagine here on the California Central Coast. Thank you for your kind hospitality. We felt at home and were especially appreciative of your welcoming our little dog, “Annie”. The muffins were yummy, thank you, the flowers lovely, We so enjoyed our time here."

 Jeff & Meg……Annie too!

         
"First bite of Elaine’s perfectly baked bran muffins…it was confirmed….we had arrived here, Heaven on earth. Everything was absolutely perfect. The media selection, the fragrant little bath soaps, the hospitality, the well stocked kitchen, fine woodworking magazine (my favorite!) & “California Design”, fresh flowers----Oh my—did I mention the media selection? Thanks for extending your home. Till next time…"

"Elaine & Walt
Thanks for another wonderful trip to the Coast. We had a great time. This time with “Roxie” our new nine- week old Austrailian  Shepherd pup. She loves the bridge out back and made a point to cross over again and again, Thanks for the tips on where to take her. She loves the beach. We’ll be back" soon!"

"Dear Elaine & Walter
Your English friends descend again.  A perfect time as always but not enough time to do all the things we’d planned—so we’ll have to return for trip # 7. Love you both, see you soon."

"Elaine & Walter from Beth & Stan:

Life is so beautiful when you stop and see it, smell the sea, watch the waves wash away what you thought could not. I have found that place that has brought my mind, body, and spirit back to me, Rejuvenated I depart and wait until I can return. I have found my soul mate in life, Stanley. I have now found my spiritual place on earth. This Red House I take home with me. Thank you, Caring meant so much. Until we meet again."
