The home was wonderful in the convenience and comfort. From the bedrooms and the kitchen the living room even the garage, all upgraded furniture, new modernized kitchen with every type of device needed for any type of cooking, beach, chairs, and towels, comfortable beds with super soft sheets, new couches that we just sink into and of course, the location and view of the ocean or just the highlight. I can’t say enough this was just a wonderful place to have a family gathering.

Easy beach, pier, and town access. Lots of room for our group of 6 adults. The dog loved it, too! Kitchen supplies were great, and we felt very safe and comfortable staying at Gathering Place and love the casual vibe of Cayucos!

Wonderful experience!

This was by far the best VRBO house my family has experienced. The views were fantastic, everything we could possibly need was provided ( spices in the kitchen, kleenex, extra blankets, coffee makers WITH coffee and tea!). All in all, a very enjoyable stay!

Multiple families Beach short stay

We greatly enjoyed our time at this Cayucos house. The house was charming and so well stocked with all amenities for us. We were half adults and half teenagers so the location between beach, town, and wineries was perfect. Also an easy drive to CalPoly. Extra cuteness was the bunny keeping an eye on us.

Great family home

We had a wonderful stay at the Gathering Place. It is beautiful, comfortable, convenient to the beach and esthetic. It easily accommodated our family of 7 adults. Every morning we had our coffee on the huge, comfy couch in front of the picture-window, watching the waves roll in - or out on the upstairs porch enjoying the fresh air. Walking into town and to the beach was pure pleasure, and the wonderful, swooping swallows all nesting under the nearby bridge were mesmerizing. Everything you need for preparing meals has been thoughtfully provided. Thank you for letting our family stay in this lovely spot- if it's available, I would definitely rent this for our family on our next visit to Caycos.

The property itself is very lovely in its location, cleanliness, and provisions.What was unfortunate is the lack of description on each of the bedrooms. When I messaged Doug specifically about what the room locations were and type I feel as though I was misled. The family each needed their own bathroom and so that was the most important thing. Doug stated that the upstairs bedroom had an en suite bathroom. This is absolutely correct and accurate. What he did not say is that the upstairs bedroom is definitely not the primary bedroom, which you would assume automatically, but a walled in oversize closet. Approximately 6 1/2 feet wide by 9 feet long. you could barely get into the bed on one side and the bed was nailed to the wall so I couldn’t even move it to make it equal on each side for both people. Not only that.. there is not one single window in the bedroom. Not one. Talk about claustrophobia! There is a There is an antique dresser in the bedroom, which was wonderful since there was no room for suitcases. We promptly unpacked and left our suitcases in the living room.The doors, were closet doors that open out onto the area where the pictures show a pool table. The bathroom itself was fine. There was a very small stall shower, toilet and sink.The other bedrooms were all extremely lovely with lots of airy windows and pretty curtains.The view from the property is spectacular. So I would definitely recommend this if you did not need to use the upstairs bedroom as a bedroom.
