Great location, and a nice house. I would have given 5 stars all around if there had been an adequate supply of essentials. TP, ,towels, and why is there a BBQ if there is no propane? Small inexpensive details that would have made a difference. Over all we had a great time, and would recommend this house.

Such an ideal location. Close to everything and with views of the bay. This was just right for our family, including a child 1 years old. Parking sounded like it was going to be difficult per the description (don’t park on street, don’t block the driveway) but theres a dedicated drive path in front of the garage that accomodated our large SUV (VW Atlas).

House was very pleasant for our weekend away in Morro Bay. Clean, comfortable beds, well stocked w/toilet paper, shampoo/conditioner, dish soap, paper towels, etc. we did not cook but the kitchen looked clean and well stocked. Simple & straight forward check in and out process. Location was great for walking to the Embarcadero and local shops. FYI stairs would be difficult for those with mobility restrictions. 2 bedrooms and a bathroom downstairs with primary bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living area upstairs. Nice view. We would stay here again. Thank you.

Great location. The property was great for group travel and I recommend it. Please be aware if you are only staying less than a week, you will not have access to the washer dryer (it is in the fine print) and we were only supplied 6 towels for 3 days and 6 people. The kitchen needs some attention with paired down cooking supplies. There is a lobster pot, but no kettle. The barbecue that is advertised was not in usable condition and there is a hand written sign telling guests that propane is not supplied.

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.

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.
