Enjoy all that Morro Bay has to offer from this recently renovated eco-friendly live/work space featuring everything needed for a quiet retreat by the beach. Enjoy the cool, foggy mornings listening to the seagulls and foghorn with a cup of Coffee in the private courtyard, or cozy up with a book in bed and listen to the ocean waves at night. Find peace to complete your work from the decked-out office area. Whatever your Morro experience is, enjoy it at The Shack!

The space
Enjoy your own entrance and 300sqft courtyard to our private detached guest house, a 1932 garage converted into a modern bedroom with its own private, full bathroom. Plush, luxurious carpet throughout the suite. Bed is a top-of-the-line convertible sofa made by Sealy. Bed is 78 x 60 (Queen size mattress). Super simple to operate and can double as a lounger while you enjoy the theater-like experience of the LG 65” 4K OLED TV with immersive LG Bluetooth sound bar. A space heater will keep you more than comfortable, warm and cozy for the cooler nights and foggy mornings.

The back of the room has been turned into a workspace meant designed for tech workers looking for a change of scenery. Featuring a Samsung 43” ultrawide 32:10 QHD monitor, Logitech c900 1080p webcam and Bose speakers connected to a docking station for you to plug yourself into while day trading meme stocks, analyzing multiple spreadsheets or watching YouTube videos while you tune out the 5th zoom meeting of the day. The live-edge oak desk came from a nearby grove and was made by a local carpenter. Stay comfortable with an ergonomic chair for long periods of work. Insanely fast fiber internet speeds available for the most demanding of workloads (or gaming).

Bathroom has also been renovated and features an open closet area to hang your clothes and store luggage. Kohler fixtures throughout with fresh linens and towels for your stay. If you’ve forgotten anything, check the medicine cabinet! We try to stock all the essentials you may have forgotten.

Check out the retro-inspired fridge stocked with creamers along with a coffee maker and local Coffee to enjoy a cup while enjoying the coastal air, seagulls, and the distant foghorn. Pay close attention, on clear nights the sea lion's bark sometimes carries if you leave the window open. Night times are eerily quiet as you hear the waves crash at high tide against the shore just a half mile away.

Laundry is available within the guest house courtyard area (Green door in the photos). Please know we may use this laundry area often during the daytime hours, (we have two children) but it is a separate exterior entrance. If you'd like to use it, just let us know and we’ll delay so you can wash whatever you need.

You are an easy one-mile walk having your toes in the sands of Morro Strand, a dog friendly beach. Don't miss out on an opportunity to enjoy the beach life from the Shack.

Please be advised that The Shack is frequently utilized as a workspace throughout the week. As such, it features an assortment of artwork and books that have been thoughtfully curated for the enjoyment of all who use the space.

Please note that certain elements of this curation, such as 90s rap, cannabis, or Picasso's analytic cubism phase of art, may not be to everyone's taste. We apologize for any offense caused and wish to assure you that our intention is to imbue this space with the distinct, idiosyncratic character that is emblematic of our coastal lifestyle.

We acknowledge that this aesthetic may not be for everyone, and understand that some individuals may prefer a more neutral atmosphere and highly encourage you to explore other options that may be less eclectic. However, we take pride in being a unique property and remain committed to our guiding principles of providing a clean, comfortable, and quirky environment that offers an unforgettable experience and unique touches that you would not find from a motel.

When you stay with us, you are contributing to helping our family make this nearly century-old home a net-zero carbon neutral smart home . Thank you!
Guest access
You have the cozy courtyard to yourself while staying at the Shack. This is a great area for dogs to catch some sun, enjoy a cup of coffee, and breath some fresh ocean air.
Other things to note
About us:

**We are a family of 4 with 2 small dogs. Our children are young (2 and 3) and you may occasionally hear them during your stay in the common area of the backyard, but they will not have access to the courtyard unless walking through with myself or my wife to access laundry or the paddle board. Our two dogs, an Aussie and Dachshund, may bark if they meet you or your dog, but rest assured, our yard is fenced in and they are more afraid of you than you would be of them and just need to say hello. My wife stays at home raising our children and I work in the cannabis industry.

    Love love loved it! Quaint and so relaxing. The patio area was so beautiful and welcoming. I will never be able to express the wonderful opportunity I had in meeting Zed, Katie, and their adorable children. They were the best hosts I have ever come across with VRBO. If you have any questions concerns or just want to have a causal conversation they are the best at complying to your needs. My little dog was with me and she loved the patio area. I will be coming back for sure!!

    Clean room, cool decor, cozy/comfy! We’ve been go-go-go this trip so it was nice to go to Morro Bay, have a pizza from Surfside, watch the sunset and then just go back and chill/watch a movie. Host was super helpful and responsive. Couldn’t recommend more!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to The Shack in Morro Bay over July 4th. It is conveniently located within minutes of the beaches and the state parks we planned on visiting while we were there. The private courtyard attached to The Shack was such a bonus for our dog-he loved sniffing the tropical plants outside. We enjoyed the beautifully planted garden. The Shack’s interior decor -I would call it a love letter to California beach counterculture-added to the quirky beach town experience of Morro Bay. My husband fell asleep in front of the huge TV and I got a kick out of perusing the Hunter S. Thompson on the bookshelf. Our hosts were so thoughtful-they knew our dog was frightened of fireworks and offered to lend us a sound machine to keep him calm. Luckily, the whole town was so quiet that night we barely heard anything. All told The Shack was a comfortable, delightful experience and we look forward to returning soon.
