This beautiful place was absolutely perfect. The kitchen was well equipped. The best that I have experienced. Lisa, the property manager, was very friendly and helpful. The trails to walk on right out our front door. So many amenities. 10 out of 10!

Ed, so happy you enjoyed your stay! Feel free to come back anytime, we would love to host you again :)
We had the most wonderful week staying at Melaleuca Morro Bay house. When we first arrived, other than being delighted by only being a block from the beach, the landscaping all around the house is gorgeous. The ping-pong table was a huge hit with entire family as was the hot tub in the evening. The dog beach was so close by and very easy to get to. We brought our dog to wear him out every day. The neighbors were all very friendly and even helped take the trash cans out for trash day. A really friendly neighborhood. We thought the location of the rental was perfectly situated between Morro Bay and Cayucos. The house was really well stocked with beach towels, beach chairs, wet suits, boogie boards, etc. The kitchen had everything we needed so we could make lots of our meals at home. This is a really special place and we would love to come back again!

Our beautiful backyard living space is ready to enjoy and one you won't soon forget..Hot tub, fire pit, waterfall, outside shower, and two dining areas A great place to relax and unwind after a full day at the beach or exploring the beautiful central Coast. Our hot tub under the stars is a special treat to come home to and one that you will remember. .
