White Water is a sophisticated and luxurious interpretation of Cambria and the laid back Central Coast lifestyle. Cambria remains one of the few undiscovered gems along the coast of California. Situated just south of Big Sur and north of Santa Barbara, Cambria is a small town situated directly on miles of undeveloped beach and land along the Pacific Ocean. Just steps from Moonstone Beach, White Water has an idyllic setting and picturesque backdrop. A short bike ride to downtown, guests can easily enjoy all the restaurants and shopping nearby. The lobby lounge offers a wide selection of local wines, craft beers, ciders, and spirits, as well as a selection of small bites and share plates for enjoyment. From a selection of local cheeses and meats, to our signature fondue, Chef Jason Niederkorn has curated a wide selection of favorite offerings.

This is a gorgeous property perfectly situated on Moonstone Beach with beautiful decor and an amazing vibe.

A special shout out to Bryce, Armando, Isabella and Leah for their amazing hospitality, kindness and attention during our stay. From beginning to end, our stay at Whitewater was both refreshing and relaxing and we cannot wait to return.

The White Water Inn was a nice break for the holiday weekend. The location In Cambria is very convenient with direct ocean front access and a short trip to town. The amnesties provided were a nice touch with daily fresh baked goods, coffee, OJ & champagne delivered to your door. In the evening, fresh baked cookies and s’mores were also offered in the beautiful lobby. Our room was spacious and comfortable with the only issue being the mattress was a bit too soft for my back. Check in was with a warm welcome from the GM Bryce and we had the pleasure of chatting with him daily.

Needed a peaceful weekend away, and my stay at White Water helped clear my mind. Located across the street from a beach trail and some tide pools, it's nature in the yard, with fresh coastal air cleansing your lungs. The hotel was very cute, each unit appearing in duplex or cottage style. Breakfast is left in picnic baskets at your door each morning, which is both adorable and a generous touch. Fireplace was nice in the brisker months too. A shame that the pandemic really did a number on the rest of Cambria, but this little stretch of coastline feels untouched.

White water is a very nice inn on the beach. The rooms are spacious and I likes the decor. We had a fireplace in our room and a spacious shower. But what really stands out is the staff they go out of their way to make you comfortable and truly seem to like their jobs. A special shout out to Isabella who hand delivered our warm night time cookies.

We had a wonderful stay at White Water Inn. From check-in to check-out, the service was warm, friendly, and exceptional. Bryce, Armando, Logan (the “cookie guy” 😊), Leah, Mario, and the entire staff were cheerful, helpful, and truly terrific. The charming morning basket of goodies was such a thoughtful and memorable touch. We also loved the incredible proximity to the beach and the complimentary bicycles available for guests—perfect for enjoying Cambria’s beautiful coastline. It’s the combination of the wonderful staff, beautiful location, and thoughtful little details that makes White Water Inn so special. We left with very fond memories and would happily return!
