OMGosh! What a gem Captain Java’s cottage is. Everything about my stay was pure perfection. How could it be anything but perfection when falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the ocean. The cottage is adorable. Loved all the little details - so sweet. Very spacious and comfortable. I will most definitely be back. Thank you so much. PS. Parents/Grandparents of Cal Poly students, this is just 15 min from campus.

We loved the beachy vibe of the cottage inside and on the large patio. Bed was very comfortable. Lots of amenities too! David and Sabine are great hosts. Very nice and helpful. Morro Bay had tons of sea life - sea otters, pelicans, seals, egrets, long-billed curlews, and much more. Lots of gift shops & restaurants in Morro Bay. Sunsets - gorgeous.

Great base

We stayed here on our first visit to California. Relaxing cozy spot to use to go wine tasting in Paso Robles, driving up Hwy 1 for the gorgeous views and coming back to Morro Bay to walk the beach which is just a house away from Captain Java’s Cottage. So clean and inviting. Salina and Dave’s extras added to such a nice stay.

Wonderful Valentines Getaway

My wife and I had a great extended weekend at Captain Javas Cottage. The location is very close to the beach on a route frequented by many folks walking or riding bicycles. Very short drive to downtown Morro Bay or Cayucos. Cottage is stocked with all the necessities and the hosts are friendly and responsive. Definitely on the ‘would stay there again’ list!

A Perfect Coastal Getaway!We had the most wonderful stay at Captain Jaca’s cottage. From the moment we arrived, everything felt thoughtfully prepared and incredibly welcoming. One of the sweetest touches was the fresh bouquet of flowers that greeted us—it instantly made us feel at home.The cottage itself is charming, clean, and beautifully maintained, with everything you need for a relaxing escape. Just a short 5-minute stroll to the beach, it’s the perfect location for anyone wanting peace, beauty, and the sound of the waves nearby.The hosts truly go above and beyond. Every detail is taken care of, and their thoughtful touches make the stay feel extra special. We can’t wait to return!

Quaint and cozy

This was our first time to Morro bay, and in spite of the cool weather enjoyed our stay. The unit is well stocked and has a fun outdoor area which makes the space well useable. Very nice owners with good communication, a comfortable bed, and the beach steps away. This is definitely a place we would visit again.

Java Cabin

Everthing was as advertised. Clean, great location, and great communication from the hosts. They provided complimentary snacks and extra beverages, which was a plus. My wife, who is usually picky about where we stay, was happy about the room. We will definitely consider staying there again if we plan another trip to the Morro Bay area.

Exceedingly pleasant stay!

A wonderful experience in a great location. Exceptionally clean, many, many amenities and thoughtful touches throughout the room, comfortable and quiet. Love the screened side "doors" adjacent to the entrance that allowed me to drift off and wake to the sound of ocean. Enjoyed meeting and chatting with Dave and Sabine, and am grateful they wish to share their little slice of heaven. I will definitely return and look forward to more walks on the beach and relaxing on the front porch.
