Great location but home needs TLC

Great location close to town and attractions. Mishap with getting our key from the lockbox but lucky to find another. Ant infastation! Both bathrooms remodeled nicely but bugs were in the sky lights. Beds comfortable. Patio furniture needed to be cleaned before use. This home and yard need major clean up. !

Perfect for a month long stay for my dog and me

The fenced yard and proximity to Morro Bay Dog Beach was fabulous. It is in a very quiet neighborhood. The furniture is not the same as in the photos, which was a little disappointing. The owners were very pleasant.We had a wonderful month and would stay here again.

Location couldn't be better

Easy access to Cloisters Park, which in turn has great access to the dogs allowed portion of the beach. The house is well set up to handle pooches, with two very nice grassy areas which are fenced. The fire pit is a nice bonus and the hosts are welcoming enough to keep stuff on hand to get a fire going. Kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans and place settings. Couldn't be happier with the location and set up of the house. We hope to do it again next year.

Beach Getaway

This property has always been our favorite place to stay for several years and never disappoints. The owner is an outstanding host has everything ready when we arrive so we can get there and just relax 😌 and chill. We drive from a far distance through heavy LA traffic and would do it over and over again because it’s so worth it. We Love ❤️ Morro Bay it’s just beautiful.

Restful Stay

The house and yard were amazing. We were all very comfortable in the house, it felt like home. So many activities for my kids to do, from books, games and ping pong! My daughter enjoyed reading books on the patio. The house was so calm and peaceful, perfect to unwind. So glad we found this place and hope to book it again next July!

rental for high school graduation

Our stay was great. The property had everything that the listing said, it was just a bit dated from the pictures. The location was perfect for what we needed. Close to Morro Bay High School. Downtown is an easy 5 min drive. I would stay here again.

Great family and pet-friendly house ideally located

This home was perfect for our casual, hike- and beach-loving family. We felt right at home here. Well stocked kitchen and plenty of space for two teens, three adults and a small dog. Lots of outdoor areas for the dog to explore too. Hosts where very friendly and communicated well (makes all the difference dealing with a real person vs. a management company).The location is also perfect — close to everything. We recommend Montana de Oro State Park, San Simeon Point hike, Morro Bay Embarcadero, Fiscalini Ranch Reserve, downtown Cambria, the beach boardwalk in Morro Bay (and watching the sunset on the beach there), and walking the long coastline trail along the bluffs just north of Cayucos. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice house would revisit

Comfortable house, great outdoor area, no highway noise. Two playgrounds walking distance. Walking distance beach not dog friendly but plenty close by. Beds and furniture very comfortable, linens and towels nice. Kitchen very well equipped, could use one more pot and teaspoons. Fridge very old and if not careful stays open and takes long time to cool. French door in bedroom held closed by piece of wood in threshold, lock should be fixed. Overall great house, easy communication. VRBO ad said bikes and spa tub, no longer available. We had old to young and all enjoyed.

Perfect for us

The location was ideal for the beaches and wineries we wanted to see. As elders--80 year olds--the house was comfortable with all the amenities we needed to stay happy. Outside tables and chairs were perfect for dining and reading, and drying the sand dollars and seashells we collected. When things went askew, Lani was quick to set things right. The only thing wrong--we didn't use the outdoor grill because we thought it might be dangerous. We hope to return soon and bring our springer spaniel. It is a perfect place for us.

Quick trip

We stayed here as we prepared to drop pur daughter in Cal Poly. Location was gr8 because we took our doggies. They did enjoy it, but there are a lot of foxtail bushes which are not recommended for dogs to be around. Beds were comfy and restrooms & kitchen were clean. Some spider webs near living room window. Overall, would stay here again.

September rental

Pros - clean, quite neighborhood, close to east beach access, 5min from downtown morro bay, many sea animals swimming in bay to watch, owner left s’mores for the kids to make with the fire pit, fenced in front yard was easy to watch the kids play, beds pillows and bathrooms were clean, sept weather was nice, owner communicated well when there was a problem. Cons - spider webs throughout the house, only one side of bbq grill worked, although rental had 5 hours in between last customer and us, we couldn’t check in on time because rental was not clean and ready, checked in 20min late which made it difficult having 4 toddlers who were tired, place has no a/c (which is normal for this area) and there were no window screens on windows which made it difficult to open doors/windows without having bugs in the house, maintenance crew showed up second day and wanted to do maintenance on the place, prior reviews also said maintenance showed up during stay and took several hours. Car broke down and there is no taxi service in morro bay and Uber could not find a driver in morro bay. ( not the owners fault), but something to consider. Morro bay was such a small town that it was difficult to find help with the automotive emergency we had. Took a tow truck 1.5 hours and had to pay a waitress from local restaurant to take the rest of the family home. All in all, the kids had a blast, they enjoyed the beach, the house, and the town. We would stay again.

Awesome!

We had 6 adults, 1 teen and a dog. The inside is nice and clean and the bedrooms (especially the master) are very nice. The real star of this property is the outside. Huge front yard with ample seating, a wood fire pit (plenty of places around that sell wood), and a ping pong table that turned out to be a huge hit. We spent a majority of our waking hours outside. The neighborhood is super quiet. The owner was very communicative and friendly. If I come to this area again, I would for sure rent this house!

Overall excellent, a few issues

Outstanding location. Everything was clean and well-stocked. We had issues with ants in the kitchen and a toilet that continually clogged. The kitchen cabinets are peeling apart and need to be repaired. There are also only 4 dining table chairs in a house that sleeps 6. But none of those things stopped us from enjoying the home and having a wonderful time.

About the host

Hosted by Lani Colhouer

I grew up in the area and love the community. As local business owners we have been enjoying the community we live in for a long time. We are looking forward to sharing the area with you!

Why they chose this property

I grew up in the area and moved away out of high school. Quickly realized what an amazing place the central coast was and moved back. My husband grew up in Fresno and came over to visit a friend in college and never left! We love the area and feel blessed to have a home here.

What makes this property unique

We love how close the home is to the beach, the park, and the market making everything easy and fun! There are two yards...a fenced front yard so kids or dogs can play out front without any worry and a fenced in back yard to put your pup while you go to dinner!
