Nearby Getaway

About a year ago, Jerry Hulse ran a tip on an ocean-front vacation home in Cambria and I saved it for reference. Some friends and I just spent a very relaxing and very comfortable weekend at this cozy vacation home. Even on an overcast weekend, watching the waves breaking on the rocks and the otters and seals playing near the kelp bed kept us entertained. It may be just the thing for someone looking for a great getaway spot just four hours from Los Angeles. The contact was Jeff Prostovich at Hometown Realty, 4101 Burton Drive, Cambria, Calif. 93428, (805) 927-1224, or Susi Staunton and Will Royston at (213) 456-3242.
