Beach Getaway
Nice spot with a lot to do around it, super friendly people everywhere. House was nice and clean and it’s in a quiet neighborhood besides the airport.

the Beach Combers Hideaway, steps to the Beach
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!

J & T Beach Cottage, Ocean Views & Walk to Beach
Our stay at Jim's place was a perfect get away. A very nice location, the house was very clean and cozy. Beautiful scenery of Morro Rock on the rooftop. I definitely will be staying again. I recommend it if you want a very relaxing escape this is a perfect choice. 😃

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

Short walk to beach 4 br 2 bath Private Cali Home
Such a great stay. Walkable to the beach and lots of restaurants with a great yard where we all hung out as a family. The hosts were super friendly and communicated well. Will be back again!

Beautiful Country Home
Laurie is an amazing host that was readily available when I had questions and left us lovely notes and instructions when we arrived. The home is beautiful and great for a week or weekend getaway with family or friends. My family loved the place and there were no complaints. We would definitely select this location again and we recommend it to anyone who wishes a lovely stay.

linvics resort
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!

Creekside Home sleeps up to 10 guests
Michele was a great host and super responsive when we needed her! She was very helpful when we needed it. The place was just perfect for what we needed. Couldn’t thank Michele enough for being an amazing host!

Hillside Hacienda- 4 Blocks to Downtown Paso
AMAZING stay, they thought of everything! Perfect 2 day stay at one of the nicer Airbnbs we’ve ever stayed at. Highly recommend!

Downtown 2bd 2ba house in Paso Robles.
Great place to stay for a long weekend in Paso. Only a 5 or 6 block walk to the center square. Clean and well taken care of house. Easy access from the highway. Great place to stay and Eric the host communicated clearly. Thanks!

Stylish Home, Great Porch Walking Distance to Town
The place was exactly as pictured. Great location. Very accessible. Beds are on the soft side, but the home was very well appointed. Furniture in the common spaces was very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again!

The Downtown House SLO with Private Parking
This is a great house in a great location. It had everything I needed for a long weekend visiting my kid at CalPoly. David was great to work with and made everything easy.

Windermere Villa-Jacuzzi, Ocean Views,Ping Pong
If you are looking to stay in the area, this is the place. We will return. Wonderful home, location, views and very clean.

4bd w/ Pool/Hot Tub. Quiet and relaxing. Pets ok!
I had an amazing stay at Whitney's home! The space was beautifully decorated, clean, and incredibly comfortable. The location was perfect - a short drive to the stunning coastline I loved relaxing in the backyard, which was a peaceful oasis. I can’t recommend this place enough for anyone looking to explore San Luis Obispo.

Pool & Vineyard Views Hideaway House
We loved our stay in this beautiful area. From the charming, cozy cottage, to the beautiful sunsets and stunning views, this place has everything you need for a relaxing getaway. We hope to come back soon.

French Country Casita - Breakfast Included
The best breakfast we have ever had. Bed was comfortable and the bathroom had all the amenities anyone would need. Mark was responsive and helpful. We will definitely be booking another trip back here!

Luxury Mountain View Retreat Pool/jacuzzi
The property is well managed, the kitchen was well stocked, and the pool and hot tub were amazing. Probably our favorite Airbnb rental ever.

Central Coast Guest House - Private entrance
My husband and I loved our stay here. The guest house is very comfortable and private. A cute space with everything we could need for our stay, and a peaceful back patio area. The house is easy to find and a short drive from the beach and restaurants. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Bohemian beach house 2 min walk to sea
Beautiful and comfortable cottage in peaceful surroundings. Everything we needed was included. Nice location with a quick walk to the beach and a short drive to activities in Pismo and Avila Beach. Diana was a wonderful host and we look forward to returning soon.

Vineyard View in the heart of our 80 acre vineyard
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.
