About this property

The Driftwood House - 1/2 mile from Embarcadero

Less than .5 mile from the Embarcadero, you are in the heart of downtown Morro Bay. Take an evening stroll to your favorite fish 'n chips restaurant or to watch the otters play.
This bright and cheerful home boasts of everything that vacations are meant to be. A large garage welcomes *2 vehicles for your stay while the bench seat and long wall rack are ready to hold plenty of wet beach towels and store lots of sandy flip flops.

This is a two story home with the first 2 bedrooms located up a short flight of stairs. The Cayucos bedroom has a queen bed with a NovaForm mattress. The Montana de Oro bedroom has a queen bed with a NovaForm mattress. On the walls of this room are pictures of nearby Montana de Oro beckoning you to take the short drive over there. These two bedrooms share their own bathroom with a shower/tub. The washer and dryer are located just across the hall.

Continuing up another short flight of stairs will bring you to the living room, dining room, kitchen, Master bedroom and bath. The Master bedroom has a king bed with a NovaForm mattress. The Master bedroom also has a twin over full bunk bed and children's sitting area. This room is stocked with a TV, DVD player, books, and movies to keep kids entertained on cool evenings. The master bathroom is extra large with a long counter and double sinks. The shower is also extra large with two shower heads and a corner seat.

The open kitchen has ample counter space and is fully equipped with pots and pans, dishes, a coffee maker, BBQ utensils, and whatever you will need to cook up some of the fresh produce you find at the local farmer's markets.

The living room has 2 full sized leather couches and an additional chair for relaxing in. There is a small desk/work space located in the living room. Just outside the living room is the balcony. The balcony has a bbq ready for some local ahi tuna or a bag of Grassy Bar oysters that you've picked up from Giovanni's Fish Market. There is seating for 4 guests to gather on the balcony.

The home is set up with WiFi and both TVs have Dish Satellite TV.

*Please note that we DO NOT have additional parking spaces beyond the 2 vehicle garage. Any additional vehicles must be parked outside of our housing community and not in front of our garage.

Comfy, wonderful home!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Driftwood. The house is able to accommodate many people! We were very comfortable because of the large space, and we specifically were looking for a large kitchen so we could cook our meals. The kitchen did not disappoint! It had everything we needed and was large enough for several people to help out with the meals. The beds were super comfortable, we were able to park in the garage and communicating with the owners was super easy. I highly recommend this VRBO!

Driftwood House-a perfect place

Erin was so helpful with all instructions! Easy to find. The accommodations were perfect. I can see a big family group to fit perfectly too. Clean, well lit, lots of kitchen space and all the items needed were there. Beds were really comfortable and the right place to stay when day visits to south and north. Thank you!

Driftwood House, Morro Bay

Roomy, pleasant, well-equipped house located close to the exit from highway 1. A five minute walk up the hill takes you to Main St and a view of the rock. Another five minutes walk down to the waterfront area. The house was clean and well-equipped, we had no problems with access. Would stay again.

Family reunion for Christmas

This place is beautiful! Came here with our adult sons (from NY and Socal) and met other family members (who were in other Vrbos) in this spacious, beautiful beach home. Everything we needed was provided: kitchenware (we baked, we BBQed, and we used the instant pot for soup), linens, and even thoughtful things like moistened makeup wipes, and nightlights in bathrooms. While we didn't need it, there's many children's picture books, building toys and games. Perfect for any kind of family. Its a short walk to downtown or the Rock or shopping/eating although hills are a bit steep on the way there. We'd definitely choose Erin's place again if we found ourselves in Morro Bay!

Nice stay!

We spent a week in Erin's Driftwood house and it worked out great. Our daughter and her family joined us and there was plenty of room for everyone. It's close enough to walk to the Embarcadero but we drove. That first block coming up Beach Street on the way back is just too steep for me and the wife. It's an easy walk to downtown though and the Hungry Fisherman and Carla's Kitchen were within walking distance also. The Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed and was an open flowing floor plan upstairs. There are a lot of stairs and most everything is on the top floor so be aware of that. I would definately stay here again if we have family with us!

Amazing Morro Bay Property

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The location and property were absolutely perfect and close to everything. The layout was so open and friendly with plenty of room to move around and still have individual spaces. The master shower was delightful. and communication with the host was top notch. We''ll definitely stay here again.

Great location, great house

We have stayed in Morro Bay at least once a year for over 40 years while traveling on family vacations. This house was in a great location with tons of space and all the needed amenities. The kitchen had all the basics included and so did all the other common areas and restrooms. The house was great!

Best place for Families

We our super grateful to our host for accommodating us when we had to change our schedule. The house is perfect for families with children. So many books, toys and puzzles that kept them busy when we were not out and about Morro Bay. The location is in walking distance of everything on the Embarcadero. We loved every minute of our stay.

Comfortable and convenient place

We enjoyed our stay here in Morro Bay. We were visiting the area for a wedding. The house was comfortable for our needs and especially great for our 6 year old granddaughter. There were LOTS of books and toys at the house. The kitchen was well stocked for our needs. The location was very convenient Just a heads up for those bothered by street noise, we did have a moderate street noise, especially when the windows were open. We would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Erin Largoza

Host profile image
We have been blessed with a large, active family and the Central Coast is a place we marvel at God's creation.

Why they chose this property

Morro Bay is centrally located between the beaches of Cayucos, Montana de Oro, Avila, and Pismo. Within a few short minutes you can travel up or down the coast depending on the kind of day you are looking for.

What makes this property unique

The Driftwood House is in the perfect location. Located only 1/2 mile from the Embarcadero it is a quick walk to fish 'n chips in the evening or to watch the otters play in the morning. The house itself is bright with windows and skylights while warm and comfortable. Open areas allow for everyone to be together or the kids can retreat to their own TV and play areas. The outside balcony is the perfect spot to throw on a sweatshirt and BBQ some oysters while the others play one of the many card or board games available.
