the Beach Combers Hideaway, steps to the Beach

TheresaRating, 5 stars8 months ago
We had a great time at Leanne’s place. The house was clean, organized, and set up with everything we needed. Leanne was great. We booked about 3 months prior to our stay and requested early check in as we had to be somewhere by 5. She was very responsive, followed up with me a few days before our stay as she said she would and again the day we arrived to let us know as soon as the house was ready. This was excellent service and I know she truly cares about her guests stay. Thank you Leanne for everything and we can’t wait to come back!

Hot Tub - Just Steps to the Beach - Sleeps 12!

ArjunRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This Airbnb met and exceeded all of our expectations! We came for an organization retreat and fully used the property, its amenities, and its ideal location. Would rate this at 11/10 if we could, and would recommend any family or group of friends to book this place as it allowed us to spend meaningful time with each other. Having the beach just steps away was amazing!

Blue Skies - Avila Beach Condo

SaraRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Everything is exactly as pictures but we super appreciated the quality bed linens and mattresses! Something even the best hosts often let slide. Had a great time exploring the central coast and using Avila as a home base. Garage was filled with all the beach necessities (even beach hats! Which I didn’t realize I forgot until I saw theirs). The restaurants around the corner and at the end of the pier were all delicious. Only regret is that we never roasted s’mores on the rooftop! We left our skewers for the next guests to enjoy.

Pismo Oceanfront, Private Garage, Pet/ADA Friendly

LauraRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We spent the entire week saying, "This is SOOOOO nice!" to each other over and over. The condo is perfection -- you can tell that the building and all the details were well-built and thoughtfully considered. The murals throughout the condo are really special. And the beds and bedding were SO comfortable! The heated floors in the bathroom were amazing on chilly mornings. We loved having the garage (made storing surf boards so much easier!), the elevator (no lugging suitcases up stairs), and washing machine, and the kitchen was well-equipped enough that we cooked half of our meals there. Not to mention the beach being right outside the door - the condo is in a perfect spot to walk outside and surf, lounge, or beach comb. We walked down the beach to the butterfly park every day. We go to Pismo a few times a year and will definitely book Jatinder's lovely home again!

Beach, Please! 4BR Coastal Gem w/ Patio & Fire Pit

StevenRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had a great time at Michelles place in beautiful Cayucos. It was right across from the beach and the house was everything we were hoping for. It was well stocked with blankets, towels, kitchen items, and beds! There were 8 of us and usually the youngest have to sleep on a couch, but not here! There were also two living/family rooms - one downstairs - which was nice since some of our group wanted to stay up late and they didn't bother the ones who went to bed earlier. The little town of Cayucos is really nice, and you are a short drive to Moss Landing which is a bigger town with gas/supermarket, etc. This is also a great place to stay if you are visiting Hearst Castle, which is about 1/2 hour north. Wonderful stay!!

Staying at this Airbnb was a true delight! Linda is an exceptionally gracious host, and the space itself was immaculate. I especially appreciated the thoughtful note detailing the home and nearby attractions. The beautiful antiquities added such character, and the tranquil garden and sunroof provided a wonderfully peaceful escape. Its convenient proximity to the CalPoly campus made for easy walks, and the reliable internet allowed me to work seamlessly. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!

I had an amazing stay at Whitney's home! The space was beautifully decorated, clean, and incredibly comfortable.

This is our second time staying at Shelly’s place and we will definitely be back. The setting, privacy, comfort of accommodations, and ease of access to all that PR has to offer are unparalleled. We truly appreciate the ability to bring our dogs and have them off leash in our own private vineyard. Shelly’s warm and accommodating nature shines through, as does her pride in her property. Thanks again, Shelly, for being the best of the best on Airbnb. See you soon!

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.
