The place was amazing and Cindy was responsive to any questions.

Meet Me At The Beach House
We arrived and immediately felt at Home. We had pretty much everything we needed. With our little dog in tow , it was awesome to an enclosed backyard. With Grass.. super tidy yard! Great to have a garage for our car and laundry on site. The kitchen was large and stocked well even some spices and oils to use.. beds were comfy and cozy. Cute beach decor and a lovely gas fireplace for our cold rainy nights . I found additional blankets in the living room hutch. I walked to the beach every AM with my dog. Two blocks away. We could hear the waves at night from our bedroom. Perfect

(050) A World Away
We loved this place and would return again! One of our favorite things about it was the 2 large windows which provided an “amazing” view of the ocean where we could watch the rolling waves and catch a sunset. A large side window also gives a view of the ocean and a beautiful cypress tree with Morro Rock in the background. There’s a public stairway to the dog friendly beach just steps away. The lovely downtown just minutes away by car had several nice restaurants, coffee and pastry shops, specialty stores and a beautiful pier. Morro Bay is 4 miles south and Cambria is 18 miles north, which makes Cayucos the perfect location.

Cayucos Gem steps from the Beach.
We had 6 sleep comfortably using the air mattress. We did host dinner for 13 comfortably. Shower pressure was good. Hot water was always present. Had good laundry and dryer machines. Clean place. Convenient location. Can walk downtown in 10 minutes and to the beach in 5 minutes. Check in was easy. I think there was a hiccup because we didn’t receive the door code prior to check in. However, I was able to text Newell, and he called me back with the code. Newell was quick to help us with other minor things to help make our stay enjoyable. One thing to add on is easier access to netflix and amazon prime. The Smart TV only works with Samsung phones. We had to do a hack to connect a laptop to the TV and then use the internet wifi to access Netflix and Amazon Prime. However, this was a minor issue. We loved using the fireplace! We left items behind accidentally, but Newell allowed us to get them. Overall we had a 5 star stay, and we had a memorable and warm time.

Paula's Beach House
Beautiful single family 3br house right by the beach. Very dog friendly yard (fences and gates). Lovely little town with shops and restaurants. Easy check in and check out - highly recommend.

Air Park Haven- 2/2 townhouse by beach & lagoon
My wife and I planned a visit to Sequoia, but when we got there smoke from a wildfire made it untenable. I contacted Heike, at the last minute, because we figured we'd head to the central coast. She responded immediately. And, lucky for us, the place was available. It's right next to a tiny airport (but you hardly hear any sounds and it's fun to watch a few small planes, e.g. Cessnas, take off or land. It's across from a park. There's a diner that's walking distance away. Pismo Beach, perhaps two miles away, has everything you'd want from fine dining to markets. I've never been to Oceano before. Now, I'm sure we'll go back. It's quieter than places like Morro Bay and SLO. The unit itself is a bit cramped, but not in a bad way. There's three bedrooms and two baths, and it's a two-story unit. I recommend Heike's place whole heartedly. She's super responsive. When one of the TV remotes didn't work, she had batteries delivered because she was out of town! Signed, Alan K

The Boathouse Cottage Waterfront Morro Bay
We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. It was so cute, clean, and unique. It had everything we needed and we felt right at home. The porch right on the water was amazing too. We splurged a bit to stay here but it was well worth it!

Fantastic Pet Friendly Beach Home!
Rental company was very communicative, house was very clean and well stocked. Very pleasant stay and loved Morro Bay! Visit the state park: golf, canoeing, hiking etc.

RV Glamping Experience in Pismo Beach!
We had a great time staying at the RV! It was clean, fit 2 people and a small dog easily. It was easy to get in and out and explore the Pismo Beach area.

Ocean front Condo with heated pool and restaurant
Michelle was a wonderful host! She communicated well and the location was perfect. We will definitely be back! My teenage daughter’s loved the pool and we took lovely walks with the dog. We are very familiar with the area so we did not ask for recommendations but I would have not hesitated to ask her if I had a question. Thank you Michelle for a lovely stay!

They also provide a few extra perks too 🥰 You can tell they want guests to have what they would want when traveling paying attention to detail🌴 A real gem that we found. Thank you for sharing your condo with us🫶 Hope to return in the future☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

(012) Surfside Point
We stayed for a long weekend. The house is as described and in the perfect location, right on the beach. Beautiful view of the pier and Morro Rock. Beds were comfortable, place was very clean throughout, kitchen had all the basic items that one would need. Will stay here again!

LIFE IS SWELL Beach Front Oceano Pismo Avila SLO
The location of the beach steps away can't be beat. I went for 3 miles walks every morning that were soothing to the soul. The house and the decor is super cute and had everything we needed for a week away. Thank you for the coffee, and though we didn't make waffles, appreciated that there was waffle mix, syrup and a waffle maker there. We went ATVing on the dunes, with the rental places right across the street and had a blast. Pismo is only a short easy drive up the road, and Fin's Seafood, a 1 mile walk up the beach, was wonderful. What a great trip.

Oceanview Beach House + Game Room, Patio, Fire Pit
Great vacation stay for 4 adults and 2 kids. View was amazing and the house had what we needed. We did need some extra coffee, which was easy to get from the Tides office. We did have one instance of some people trying to use the patio, like someone else had mentioned, but they left when we told them it wasn’t public. Overall a great place to stay.

Spacious Beachside Cabana in Downtown Cayucos
Brendan was very polite and very accommodating. I absolutely loved the location we will defiantly be back again.

Bungalow #4
FIVE STARS ✨ We loved our stay here. The place was awesome, the location was incredible and they were very thoughtful- they had beach towels & chairs and a nice outdoor seating area/fire place. Will definitely come again!
