Perfect house!

We greatly enjoyed our stay! We came to visit friends in Cambria and were looking for a one level home with a nice outdoor area for our dogs. This was perfect! The house is beautiful, the owner communicates well and the yard is fantastic! We spent all our time hanging out in the backyard. There are nice walking laths through the park and jt is close to the beach. The beach right at the house doesnt allow dogs but the ere is another one just a short walk away that does. The house was well equipped and we loved our stay!

Something special

I knew we were in for a treat when we found this place. And we were not disappointed. Across the street from the ocean? Close to the (dog) park? And in a walkable neighborhood? Yes, please! And to my utter delight, a previous guest left some Major Dickenson's. Google it if don't know. And treat yourself! Working with Lisa was seemless. She was both responsive and friendly. And most importantly, when we checked out, she was able to squeeze us into another property within the same neighborhood. The doggies needed another day at the beach. But seriously, that was above and beyond.

Sanctuary garden property one block from the ocean

This exceptionally comfortable home with a large, beautifully landscaped yard, fire pit, dining table, and significant privacy, allowed us to bring along our dogs and have effortless access to the Cloisters Park sanctuary trail that runs along Morro Bay. The kitchen is well-equipped, the neighbors are friendly, and the property owner is responsive. We felt privileged to be there! Hoping we get to return.

November in Morro Bay

Great home that met all of our needs (two of us and two dogs). We stayed for a month and the house was very comfortable. Plenty of room for us to settle in. Steps to a beautiful beach and we drove 1+ mile to a dog-friendly beach every day. The yard was beautifully landscaped. We used the firepit, hot tub and grill. Owner was very nice and responsive to our occasional questions. Great location for exploring San Simeon, Cambria, Paso Robles, and San Luis Obispo.

Just perfect.

Had a very nice stay with my husband and two girls and two dogs. Great location, quiet street, and the house is very comfortable, well appointed and well maintained. We come to Morro Bay and Cayucos this week every year and we’ll try to come back to this house again. We used the hot tub most mornings and we played games and did puzzles and rode our bikes to downtown Morro Bay. We even rode bikes on the beach at low tide. I can’t say enough good things about the house.
