We had a spectacular stay. The weather was beautiful the sunsets with so much color. It was a perfect escape. The kitchen was will supplied for making Thanksgiving dinner. Cozy and comfortable. Only hiccup. Don’t leave anything. Our mistake but We came back 20 min later and the cleaning staff took our belongings and said they were gone. Little disappointing

The front bedroom requires blackout curtains or roll down blinds. Lights from passing vehicle headlights are at the same level as someone sleeping and it is very disturbing. OR relocate the bed to the opposite wall. ThanksOtherwise everything is great as usual.

Great place in Morro Bay

My husband, dog and I stayed three nights here. Great location, right on the bay and easy 15 min. walk to downtown restaurants and shops. We appreciated the comfortable seating, they have a nice recliner and reclining couches. I do wish the property had a dishwasher and a few more upgrades, but overall this place was great.

Lovely historic home on the Bay

This is such a charming home. We are old house kind of people and so the funky bathroom and lovely wood accents and antiques were right up our alley. The location is amazing with an incredible view. The kitchen was well stocked. The beds were comfy and the towels were high quality. We would definitely stay here again.

Historic Charm

This is the 3rd time we have stayed at this quaint, funky historic cottage. The view out the back with the adirondack chairs is great. It is fully stocked and comfortable. If you want modern, minimalist, this is not for you. If you want some character and a handcrafted built-ins and furniture, this is for you.
