What a great place to stay! A fabulous couple’s retreat. Convenient to get to, close to the beach, beautiful and comfortable. Sabine was great host: responsive to questions, accommodating when we needed, provided a lot of nice little extras which was very kind and thoughtful. My partner and I hope we have an opportunity to stay here again soon!

This sweet little place was actually nicer in person then they are able to convey in the VRBO listing. Great location for anything in the greater SLO visitation, and lots of little touches that go above and beyond.

This is a nice choice to stay in if you're looking for a simple and affordable way to stay near the beach, hear the ocean sounds, and immerse yourself in the beach community.It's a very comfortable studio apartment set up attached to a house but with its own entry and privacy.

David met us at our arrival and was very friendly and accommodating. The unit was spotlessly, clean and well appointed. There were a lot of extra touches, not usually found. Such as juice, coffee, milk, and the rare but coveted drip coffee maker. The bed was very comfortable. Location was great, just steps from the beach. We had a great visit.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Captain Java’s Cottage!!! We always do. It is always smells and looks so freshly clean!! The fireplace was a so nice to have during the storm last night! Everything the hosts do at Captain Java’s is done with a very tasteful, and thorough approach/touch! We have stayed here several years now to join our family that camps at Strand Beach, and it is the perfect 5 minute walk to see them. If we forget something, we can walk a few minutes to grab it. It’s just PERFECT 🤩 We highly recommend Captain Java’s over any hotel. This is like your home away from home. The hosts make you feel like you’re at home!!! Hotels do not Thank you again to our gracious hosts!!!
