The home is comfortable. I would suggest some kind of non-slip mat for the downstairs shower. I nearly slipped several times. Also I’d suggest a much larger garbage bin. We arrived and the bin was already full and we still had 3 days before the trash pickup day.

Wonderful home in Morro

The check-in was easy. The location was extremely convenient walkable to everything. The facility was clean, neat and organized. The manager was kind and took care of us 100%. Loved our stay in Morro Bay and recommend this VRBO to anyone who is considering going.

Perfect weekend getaway!

We visited for my birthday weekend with a few friends. The house was spacious and clean, with a great view of the bay. The beds were comfy and the shower pressure was excellent - seriously one of the best showers I've had traveling. The location was perfect, with everything we wanted within walking distance, including bars, farmers market, the harbor, and great vintage stores. We loved everything about our stay and would absolutely come back!

Great location!

Very lovely and comfortable property in a perfect location. Walking distance to the Embarcadero, Front street and the T pier and all of the shops and restaurants located there. Great view of Moro rock and a very short drive to Moro rock and Moro beach. There is a very nice coffee shop three doors down. We only stayed two nights so we didn't use the kitchen very much, but it seemed well stocked. Lastly, the owner was very kind and responsive. We would stay here again!

Great Weekend Away

Lovely little house within walking distance to downtown Morro Bay. Be advised that the main living space is on the upper level with most bedrooms on the lower level (it was tough for some of our elderly family members to go up and down). Beautiful property and gorgeous views of the rock.

Great stay!

The property was great - ample kitchen utensils, very spacious, loved the kitchen seating with the gorgeous view of Morro rock. The location was right next to coffee shops, restaurants, and the Embarcadero. It's a 1.5 miles to Morro Rock, but the sea otter viewing is closer. We had two 3.5 year olds with us and they also enjoyed the house!

Great View and Comfortable Beds

This location is great! Two king size beds and one queen, it is far enough back that the seals don't wake you but if on the porch, you can smell and see the ocean. The View of the rock is stunning, the neighborhood is very quite and it is a small two block walk down to the Embarcadero. Only thing I did not like was the 131 extra Service Fee, as an owner of a rental home I feel that is an excessive fee for literally nothing. Shame on VRBO for charging it, that was an extra 13% of the cost. Will not book at a site that has this fee again. Numbered locks and alarms are enough - a fee for nothing is bad business.
