2BR apt - private deck, steps from dining & ocean
This is a cute little place in a nice location in Morro Bay. It's very walkable to shops and restaurants and parking is easy. A few things to note- the bedroom with one queen bed is quite small so the door did not close because the bed was blocking it. The $145 cleaning fee is also very high, especially if you only stay one night.

Captain's - Stunning BAY & OCEAN views! 980 sq ft!
Great place, great view,and great host. we loved every minute of our stay. The view of the bay and seals talking all night was amazing. Host were great, answered all questions promptly. home was roomie and spotless. only thing I was not prepared for is one room is down the hall no door and the other you need to walk through the other room to get to bathroom or living room. it was our anniversary and my brother was staying with us and we were hoping for some private time. It was fine though we had a good time. Thank you Matt and Toni we will be back one day I hope.

#1 Pismo Beach Sand is steps away.
This was our second time staying at this location, and it was just as wonderful as our first stay! Steps from the beach and walking distance to everything else. Has its own dedicated parking space which is a huge plus, especially when Pismo is busy. Would recommend this spot to any couples looking for a replacing beach weekend.

Sandy Dunes ~ 2.5 bedroom Condo
We loved our stay. We had plenty of space for our family and dogs. The place had everything we needed and was very comfortable. It even had coffee and sugar and a few other things that made the first morning so much easier. We were close to restaurants and shops and walked everywhere. We will definitely be back!

Coastal Peaks Studio
Gorgeous, spacious studio with unbeatable view of the mountains. perfect spot for exploring and hiking. Karl gave great recommendations for hiking and getting into nature. Centrally located for experiences the best of SLO.

Golf*King Bed*Private Deck*Fast Wifi*Full Kitchen*
This place was so cute and comfortable to stay in. It has that cottage feel and is very cozy and private. Outside is a patio area that you can sit in to enjoy the sun during the warmer weather. Location is very ideal if you want to do quick trips to SLO, Pismo, Avila or head south to Solvang. Sylvia was very helpful and quick to answer questions about the place. I really recommend staying here for a central coast getaway!

Pine House
Everything was great!

Updated 2 Bedroom Apartment in Grover Beach
The place was clean, comfortable, and well-located. Check-in was easy, and Corey was responsive. The kitchen had everything we needed. The only downside was the view from the windows, but that was a minor issue overall. Would stay again!
House rentals with beach access

By the Bay. Pet friendly, golf, hike, ocean. wine
We'd stay here again. Nice if traveling with a pup like we did because there are dog bowls, paw cleaning station and dog blankets. -Really thoughtful things. Great to have the yard for the dog to sniff around off leash. Appreciated the coffee and coffee maker. The home was spacious feeling. Street parking on this quiet street was a breeze. Also, so close to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.

Steps to the Beach! Rooftop Deck! Firepit & BBQ!
The house was amazing! My family had a wonderful time. The accommodations and location couldn’t have been better. Our host was so easy to work with. We have 12 in our family and the house was a perfect fit.

Cozy Beach Bungalow in Cayucos!
This is the 3rd time my wife and I have stayed here. We love the place!!! It is close to the beach and walking distance to the town. Tyler and Heidi are always good about giving recommendations and clear instructions. If you want a quiet spot with beautiful surroundings this a nice spot!!!

Avila Beach House
We stayed at Jim and Michelle’s Avila Beach house from Tuesday to Sunday with my husband, sister, and our two young children (ages 3 and 5), and had a wonderful experience. Check-in was smooth and straightforward, and the home was exactly as described. The location was ideal—just a few blocks from the beach and playground, which made it easy for the kids to scooter back and forth. The outdoor space was a great spot to relax and play games, and the kitchen was well stocked, which made cooking at home convenient. The beds were comfortable, and parking was easy and hassle-free. Jim and Michelle were quick to respond to any requests or questions we had before, during, and even at checkout, which made the stay feel seamless and stress-free. Overall, it was a fantastic, family-friendly stay, and we’d happily return in the future.

Luxury Surfhouse 5Min to Pismo Walk to Restaurants
This place is perfect for families who are looking to stay close to Pismo beach but not in Pismo. It’s close to the highway and also easy to find. Check in smooth and the instructions were clear. The place was very well maintained and well decorated. It is in neighborhood with a lot of residential houses but that was perfect for us as we had kids.

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!

The Beach House - On Cayucos Beach
I spend a lot of time in the area and the accomodations at this beach house were superior! Will definitely return. Very nice home.

Cayucos, Ca.-Brand new 3 bdrm house-Ocean view

Condo rentals with beach access

Come stay by the sea, at Villa la Isla.
Great spot, close to everything and pretty quiet. Great stay, matched ideally what we were looking for.

Kings Condo
Perfect location, everything we needed was right there and in walking distance. Thanks so much for a wonderful, safe and clean place to stay:)

Bay View - Morro Bay, California
Loved this place! We didn’t need to contact her much because we had a quick trip but she had details of everything in a binder. Beautiful place! So close to everything, which was very convenient for when we had to take our son back to nap! Would recommend this place!

VACATION ON THE BEACH
This place was amazing, with the beach in your backyard and easily accessible anytime. The shop next door had great clam chowder, burgers, etc. The home was spotless clean and very warming and welcoming! We’d definitely stay here again!

Eagles Nest
The suite was exactly as advertised. Self check-in was easy via keypad and code. The suite was clean, and had all amenities I needed. It was spacious for a solo traveler, and it would be great for a couple as well. The location is great, only a few minutes walk to the beach and the dunes recreational area. There's a few restaurants and a small market in walking range; for more choices (near downtown) you will need to walk 15-20 minutes, or use a bike/car. The area was quiet at night. I enjoyed my stay and I will be back next time I am in the area. I would recommend this place.

Luxe Designer Condo -½ block to the beach in Avila
Great place! Very clean, awesome location, the host was very responsive and accommodating. Would stay here again.

Beachfront Condo in Pismo Beach, California
We loved our stay! Great location and beautiful views! Fit our family of 6 perfectly. We will definitely stay here again!

Sand Dollar Hideaway-Luxury Condo, Prime Location!
Great place for family vacation at the beach - walk a block and you’re on the sand. Walk to restaurants, coffee, ice cream, souvenir shops, arcade for the kids. And the kitchen had everything we needed. Wholeheartedly recommend.
