First I want to share this common remark that is contained in many of the reviews from past guests. They find when walking into the cottage that my online pictures have not done it justice. Also the cottage is more roomier than they pictures portray.

Monthly rentals are at a huge rent discount so if staying 30 days or more please inquire about the rate. Also when staying over 30 nights be sure to tell Vrbo that there is no transient tax. They need to make an adjustment in the amount they collect.

Serenity! (description of current guest staying 15 days) One bedroom with queen bed, kitchen, bathroom with shower and a living room with a small dining area. Three houses to the beach. Perfect for two guests new sofa is not a sleeper. Cottage is located behind the main house which is a vacation rental, however a large patio is in between the two units. Spacious bedroom is located on back side of cottage so that sleeping environment is very quiet. The large house located in front has been on VRBO/ HomeAway for more than 10 years and it has received 5 star reviews, please look at property number 803849.
Parking is at outside of the gate along the fence when the main house is rented, however, when the main house is vacant the parking is in the driveway.
The cottage is fully equipped with kitchen appliances ,no conventional oven, however, has a portable convection oven, dinnerware, paper products and linens. Two beach chairs are supplied for your convenience. An outside heated shower lets you wash off all the beach sand. Walking to the beach is 3 houses to Pacific St. turn right walk 3 houses over and there is the beach access. Walking on the beach at Cayucos is so relaxing. To the pier and downtown is a short walk.
Accommodates 2 guests limit only. If more than 2 people stays then fee will be taken from damage deposit. I have found with all my guests in the main house that they are careful not to break anything and there has been no theft which is the only things that are covered with the non refundable insurance policy. I have only deducted from the damage deposit 3 times for excessive dirtiness so 99% of the time the traveler has their full damage deposit returned. I have found it necessary to return to the $300.00 after lowering it to $100.00 due to the fact I recently had a guest reserve the cottage knowing that it has a two person limit and she had 4 sleeping in the cottage for 7 days. Pets are allowed which is $100.00 per pet. Please answer the question on the reservation page that you will be traveling with a pet. Send me a message if you have more than one pet staying. Dog must not be vicious and must be friendly with people and other dogs since the main house may have guests with dogs. Must have been flea and tick treated within 14 days of stay.

    This charming cottage was located in a very safe, quiet, residential neighborhood with easy access to the beach, whether driving or walking. It was just about 2 blocks or so to the main street through Cayucos, rendering it easy to locate the nearby grocery store, and just little further were several dining options and a variety of other shops as well. The cottage was clean, beautifully decorated, and it was fun living like a local while I was there. I highly recommend this cottage and will certainly hope it's available the next time in the area. Oh, and the owner was easily contacted if need be as well.

    Thank you Carole for renting us your wonderful cottage in Cayucos. My husband and two small dogs were very comfortable and had everything we needed. The cottage is cosy and is steps away from the ocean. The beach is dog friendly, the neighbourhood is quiet and the people are friendly. The cottage is close to other towns south along the coast and Paso Robles so we had lots to do, and many great restaurants to choose from. Carole was quick to respond to a question I had. We would definitely come back here again.

    This is a lovely, comfortable cottage that provided me with space to relax and rest. It is completely furnished with all cooking needs, a large bathroom, and a very comfy bed. It is only steps away from beach access and is less than a mile from town center and restaurants. I loved my time here!

    This is such a great place to stay if you have small dogs! Very close to the beach for walking them, very convenient and clean for my 2 small dogs. As we have stayed here several times, my dogs are very comfortable and happy here and really like staying here. Also the cottage is extremely clean and well cared for. Kitchen is well stocked with utensils and plates/cups, etc. Very comfortable accommodations for us humans as well as for our dogs. I strongly recommend this place, and I will be back for sure several times in the future. We won't / don't stay anywhere else!

    The cottage is a perfect size for two and our dog. Great neighborhood to walk pets and very easy access to the beautiful beach. We made good use of the outdoor shower after romps on the beach. Kitchen and bathroom are stocked with everything necessary. We didn’t use the toaster oven, preferring to eat out. Overall very comfortable! Carol provided lots of information on Cayucos and great dining tips too! Thank you!

    Next door dogs were a bit annoying with all their barking, when we were there, but thankfully we were gone every day to beach, hike’s and wine tasting. The shower had great water pressure and hot water that last while taking a shower. I loved the outside shower with hot water as well to wash off the sand from the beach, especially for my dog. Definitely will return again

    We spent our 25th wedding anniversary here in Cayucos and it was our first time visiting the area. The bungalow is literally steps from the ocean and had everything we needed. The neighborhood is so cute and very quiet. The property manager was easy to get ahold of and gave us great recommendations on where to eat and which beaches were the best for beach-combing which is a favorite past time of ours. Will be coming back to this great rental next year for our 26th anniversary.

    I loved this cottage! Family was staying nearby and this gave me my own space while enjoying them all. There is a very comfortable living area, small but well supplied kitchen, and a large bedroom with closet and dresser. The host is easy to contact if need be. It was wonderful being just a very short walk to the beach and we were able to catch the sunset most evenings. The cottage is perfect and I hope to stay there again!

    This was the perfect place to stay. I could get up in the morning drink my coffee and do yoga while my husband was still sleeping and then walk a half block to the beach when he got up. We have friends that live in Morro Bay and it was literally a five minute drive. Plus Carol was a great host who answered my quiestions and offered information about the area.

    My dog and I stayed 4 nights at the cottage. The cottage is perfect for one or 2 adults -as stated in the description. It looks small from the outside, but it is a very adequate 1 bedroom with full bath, small kitchen, table for two dinning and very comfortable living area apartment. There is a large VRBO rental house in front of the cottage. There is a patio in between the two. In fact, in the picture of the front of the cottage, the covered table is on that patio. The large house is a two story. Their back deck looks down on the cottage. The time period I was there the big house was not rented and my dog and I had the property to ourselves. The driveway runs along the side of the big house all the way to the cottage. Normal parking for the cottage is on the street (the space is marked with a reserve sign). The driveway is reserved for the big house, but since it wasn't occupied when I was there I had the driveway. It made unloading and loading the vehicle a breeze. You can't beat the location - one house away from Pacific Ave.! October can be cool and cloudy, but we enjoyed perfect Fall weather: cool mornings and blue sky and sunshine!
