Peaceful Suite by the Bay
We loved everything about this Airbnb! Tracy was a fantastic host and we hope to make it back for another visit. Tracy’s guidebook for the area was especially helpful, we only wish we had more time here!

Baywood Suite
Bryan's cottage was the dream destination. Steps from the beach and hiking trails it was such a great jumping off point to discover all the wonderful things Baywood-Los Osos had to offer.

Cute Cambria Cottage~Ocean Views and Dog Friendly!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Loved It! This stay exceeded all of our expectations! The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had all the little touches that made it feel like home (and better!). The host was incredibly responsive and thoughtful — check-in was smooth, and we had everything we needed. The location was perfect: peaceful, yet close to everything. We can’t wait to come back — highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing, comfortable, and memorable stay!

Back Bay Getaway - Dog Friendly - Home in Los Osos
I loved this place! Everything was clean and comfortable. Especially the bed! It was so comfortable I had to force myself to get up and go do something. It was like sleeping in a soft, white cloud. And the back yard was so clean and spacious. I brought my dog and I felt so safe having him run loose back there. I will caution anyone with a small dog (like a chihuahua or Yorkie) that there is a space about 4 inches under a gate that a small dog might squeeze out of. But since I had a large dog it wasn’t a problem. I loved the fire pit and the hot tub. And they even left a bottle of wine and a gift card for a coffee at a local coffee shop. Not that you will need one. They have an awesome coffee and tea making set up! I would definitely stay here again.

The Little House
Gorgeous place to stay, really comfortable and had lots of amenities and useful items in the home to make stay easier - easy to cook etc. really quiet neighbourhood but walkable to main area of morro bay! Family friendly. WiFi was a little patchy but otherwise we loved everything about it.

Boho A-Frame Cabin w/ Sauna
Thanks for sharing your amazing A-Frame. We had a great time and the new upgrades are great (sauna and BBQ area). Appreciate visiting the area and trying new things so this checked all the boxes. Thanks again.

2735 Nokomis
Wonderful 5 nights at this Beautiful House right on the ocean. The house is well equipped and well cared for, and a very peaceful retreat with fabulous ocean views. Kitchen is well stocked, and the living room/dining room has a great TV and sound system. We really enjoyed our stay. Plus just a few minutes from some great hiking right on the water.

Casita By the Sea: Secluded and Serene
Our hosts were fabulous! They were very friendly and gracious. The place was perfect too. It was quiet and very private. Everything we wanted to do was very close. The place was cozy and had everything we needed. We will definitely be back!!

Bayview Getaway
We reached out to Christine last minute because we had a problem with our other stay booked with another host. She was quick to respond and super helpful. She was able to get the place turned over in an hour for us. When we arrived it was spotless, smelled lovely and had everything I could have needed. I would recommend and would stay again.

Coastal Retreat/King Beds/Big Sur Cabin/EV Charger
Wonderful stay; very family friendly. Kid walked up to the prepared toddler bed and exclaimed: IT'S PERFECT! Overall, great place to relax and enjoy the evening after a day exploring the coast.

Oceanside, Restored, Vintage, Retreat in Cambria
I love the location. I love the main home and the apartment with outside entrance. I love the garden backyard and the privacy. I always stay here when I am in Cambria. Nick is a 5 star host.

Cozy stylish Cambria home ocean view: 1block2ocean
Maria is a fantastic host. She communicates all necessary information to you and if you have any questions, she follows up very quickly. Her home was immaculate and has everything you need for a pleasant stay. If you want to cook, everything you need is there to prepare a meal, detailed instructions on use of the tv, bed very comfortable, plenty of books and games and a great view of the ocean. Beautiful hiking at Fiscalini Preserve just a two minute walk away. Overall just a great home and she takes pride in keeping it immaculate. Can’t wait to stay again.

Ocean's Calling Cottage Sleeps five. 2 bed/2bath
We really enjoyed our stay at Morro Bay. Catherine was a great host, from our booking until our stay ended. The house was ideal, everything was there for us and it’s a great location.

Baywood Cottage #3 | Walk to Bay | Dog Friendly
Lovely stay in Baywood Bay with a communicative and kind host! There’s so much to do in the area and this is a great place to stay to explore all the fun things to do nearby. And the cottage is so cute!

Cambria Beach House with Nature View
This place is awesome. Quiet neighborhood. One street away from Fiscalini ranch preserve trails. Minutes away from town. Not far from Hearst castle. The home is clean with stocked kitchen/dishes/coffee pot/tea kettle. The tv is smart tv so you can login to your own streaming like Hulu/disney/apple/amazon. Love sitting on the patio surrounded by trees. Really a peaceful spot!

Bright 1 bedroom on Morro Bay with large deck
Chelsea is truly a super host! Very timely communication, beverages, and snacks awaited us in the AirBnB and everything was labeled for easy navigation. The apartment was very clean, top to bottom. The living room had a very comfy sofa, the kitchen was fully equipped with pots, pans, lots of wine glassware and utensils, hot water at the ready for showers and a wonderful firm king size mattress and black out shades in the bedroom. Chelsea, thank you for creating a wonderful experience!
Private vacation rentals in Cayucos

Private suite with panoramic forest / ocean views
This is the perfect romantic getaway! Everything close by…beach, town, shops, restaurants, hearst castle, wineries, pickleball courts, and so much more! The views from our suite were amazing - watching the birds and squirrels, deer just walking around! Steven & Lori very thoughtful and kind…checked in to make sure we had what we needed. Provided coffee, fruit, granola, water, pickleball equipment, maps, binoculars, and welcoming touches in the room (flowers, little notes, etc.). Very friendly hosts! Highly recommend this place and will definitely stay here again!

Cayucos getaway with breathtaking ocean views
Wonderfully relaxing stay! The house was beautiful and you can't beat those views! Waking up every morning to view the beautiful surroundings and ocean was heavenly. Comfortable beds and linens! Thank you. We love Cayucos and this was the perfect place for our family.

(060) Modern Myster-Sea
Enjoyed every moment of our girls weekend getaway! Loved the view to the beach and watching the waves come in and people pass by…we parked our car in the garage and didn’t move it all weekend. We walked to the restaurants located steps away from the unit and enjoyed every bite we had - calamari and chowder at Schooners, waffles and breakfast tacos at Hidden Kitchen, and delicious fresh donuts and fritters from Surf Rat. We meandered through the antique stores and enjoyed a good night’s sleep at the end of each day in the comfy beds. Can’t wait to go back!

2BR apt - private deck, steps from dining & ocean
We went for a family birthday weekend and this was a great place for that! Despite being close to the main street, it was quiet and the outside deck was a perfect spot to hang out and enjoy views of Morro Rock. Everything was clean and ready to go. We would definitely return!

Romantic Escape for 2: just two blocks to beach.
This place is a gem - beautifully decorated, with thoughtful touches throughout. Clean, fresh, and calming. A perfect place for a getaway!

Cayucos Beach Getaway w/ Ocean Views!
Karen was a fantastic organized proactive host and her house was a pleasure to stay in! Would happily go back

Charming Seaside Retreat by Cayucos Pier
Comfortable and charming - cupboards stocked, plenty of seating, outstanding views. Patio slider kept wide open to hear the ocean waves crashing…. Perfection! Terri was responsive and engaged with our trip planning needs.

Beach house Oasis
Melissa was wonderful. We had booked another place in Arroyo Grande and when we arrived it was nothing like what it appeared to be online. So we needed to find somewhere else to stay. We reserved this last minute and Melissa had it ready for us to check-in 2 hours later. I am so glad we found it. You pull up to a gorgeous property outside. The house is amazing! Absolutely spotless inside. Everything is top of the line from the linens to the appliances. Amenities are great. There is a ping pong table, pool table and lots of games, all indoors. Melissa provides all the stuff to make smores. The kitchen has everything needed for cooking, baking, whatever you want! There is a gorgeous deck with a full ocean view, BBQ, and large table and chairs. Great backyard as well. Walk across the street and two houses down, the beach is right there! The only one thing that I did not care for is the beds. They are a bit too firm. I will definitely book this property again!

Your guide to Cayucos
Introduction
Two distinctly Californian personalities collide in Cayucos, a sleepy surf town with a Western vibe. Plunked on the lip of scenic Estero Bay, Cayucos is ringed by grassy bluffs that lead right up to the ocean. The town, which is home to about 3,000 residents, boasts a rustic downtown that looks like a Western movie set, with antique shops, low-slung wooden buildings appointed with roomy porches, and Old Cayucos Tavern, a saloon built in 1906 where you can still sit down to a poker game every Friday and Saturday night. Ringed by bolder-name locales like Pismo Beach and Cambria, Cayucos is a Central Coast getaway for those hoping to explore the wonders of San Luis Obispo County from an under-the-radar gem.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Cayucos
The Central Coast experiences a Mediterranean climate common to northern California. If you’re staying in one of the area’s vacation rentals from July through November, expect warm and sunny days — with the hottest temperatures in August and September — and cooler days in the 60s Fahrenheit during the rest of the year. It often gets even cooler, especially at night, so don’t skimp on layers. You will probably need them.
Top things to do in Cayucos
Cayucos State Beach
Beautiful Cayucos State Beach stretches for 16 acres along the Pacific and offers white sand, coastal trails, and tide pools teeming with critters like sea anemone, hermit crabs, and mussels. Go for a swim, dip your toes in the lapping waves, or try surfing — you can buy lessons and rent gear in town. It’s nearly required that you wander the length of the circa-1872 pier, where you will be rewarded at the end with a dolphin statue and incredible views. At night the pier is lit for fishing. This panoramic beach has an edge-of-the-world feel, but isn’t short on amenities: Beach-goers will find picnic tables, bathrooms, outdoor showers, and shoreside restaurants.
Estero Bluffs State Park
Windswept Estero Bluffs State Park offers dramatic coastal views to those who hike the expansive grasslands perched above the shore. The four-mile Estero Bluffs Trail is one of the best ways to experience this 353 acres of protected land, taking you past rocky coastline, tidal pools, and wetlands. If you’re lucky, you’ll spot local wildlife along the way, including salamanders, snowy plovers, otters, seals, and even gray whales, which migrate past the shoreline December through March. You’re also likely to spot Morro Rock in the distance, a distinctive rock that rises 576 feet above the ocean waters and is a bird sanctuary for species like peregrine falcon.
Self-Guided Mural Tour
A fun way to get to know the small but colorful Cayucos downtown is to go on a self-guided mural walk. Plotted out by the Cayucos Mural Society, the route is available online. Several of the nine highlighted murals celebrate the town’s Western heritage, so expect cowboys, stage coaches, and bonnets. Two are located inside Old Cayucos Tavern, and no one would blame you if you took a minute to cool your heels at the local watering hole.
