Good but not great

Cute compound. Parking was lacking (street parking only). Needs some improvements such as safety rails for showers. The studio apartment lacked heating and lost power our last day. A few windows don’t lock. The tub showers need shampoo shelves.

August in Morro Bay

The cleaning staff is excellent. All three dwellings were very clean upon our arrival. There were two minor issues - a missing coffee pot and a broken heater. I contacted a representative from the rental agency about the issues. The representative delivered a coffee pot and a space heater. The space heater was necessary as the heater could not be repaired during our stay. I was impressed with the friendly and prompt response from the representative. The rental agency representatives provided excellent communication throughout the entire rental process. A vacation rental option that provides three separate dwellings on the same lot is a rare find on Vrbo. My friends and I very much appreciated being able to retreat to our respective dwellings when we needed alone time and being able to gather in the shared courtyard when we wanted to socialize. The landscaping includes lemon and apple trees as well as rosemary plants. It was nice to have fresh apples for snacks and lemons and rosemary to use when grilling seafood on the outdoor grill. The shared courtyard includes one table with four chairs, a long table with enough space and chairs to accommodate 12 people, and a grill with two full propane tanks. The courtyard is a lovely space for grilling and dining. There is no garage for parking, so renters must park on the street. The street parking is two hour parking from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. This was not a problem for our group as we were out and about during the days.

Family trip

The place was nice, the only thing that we didn't like is that there was no shampoo or conditioner in any restroom, so you have to take your own. Usually when you rent a home they provide all that stuff, so we had to go to a supermarket to get some. We also had to go get coffe and sugar cause that also wasn't provided, even hotels have that. Everything else was good, we had a great family time and enjoyed the walking distance from the shops etc.

Celebration of Life Trip

Came down to host a celebration of life ceremony for my mom in Los Osos where she is now buried with my dad. My family of four along with my 90 year old mother in law, two sister in laws and brother in law (8 of us) all stayed very comfortably in the three cottages. It was a beautiful weekend experience given the reason we were there-my mom would have lived the place! Thank you!

Unique location

Our stay was lovely, everyone was very comfortable and loved being able to walk to just about everywhere we needed to go. Having separate little houses made it feel private and large. We used just about every spot we could enjoying the houses during the day and spending the nights around the fire pit. Just about everything we needed was here and very easy to follow all directions.

Morro Bay stay

The main house is quaint. It is nice to have separate quarters for sleeping, especially if it is more than just family. Nice to have a coffee shop close by. The best part of the area was Abe, the owner of the wood-fire pizza place. What a generous and friendly man. I was surprised by the street parking situation, even though it advertised the street parking. . The trees made a mess of the vehicles. Didn't like that the gate entrance provided access to anyone.

We loved the cottage concept - very nice to have a central shared area between each of our rooms. All three houses were excellent, definitely a little aged but I think it enhanced the historic feel of the houses. Awesome location in the middle of downtown!

Well located multi-structure property

This is our second time staying in this property. It works well for our friend group who likes to vacation together. There are 3 structures on the property, so people can join the group or get away as desired. It's located on Main Street so there is plenty of activities within walking distance and access to many interesting destinations within driving distance.

Familymeeting in Morro Bay

We had a very good time at this lovely and charming place. Everything we needed was available, and we had very fast and competent help with the little WiFi problem we had at first. Morro bay is such a nice place and everything is in walking distance. We can highly recommend these houses for a group or a big family. We can't wait to come back.

Great Morro Getaway

The property was really nice and right in town. You could walk to coffee, shops and the pier. The beach is just a short 5 min car ride away or a 15 min walk. A couple of things though just for anyone who is considering staying here. The studio is only built for 2 people. Its super cute and bright and has an awesome little kitchen. The main house is older and has its charm but if you don't like squeaky floors when you are trying not to wake people up as you walk by then this might be an issue (especially problematic when you try to go to the bathroom at night). Kitchen is awesome and has all the essentials. Dishwasher had an issue loading the soap because the door wouldn't open when it was cycling through the wash. The other "cabin" is very rustic and dark. We had 2 young girls that didn't like how dark it was so we all crammed into the main house. Also at the end of the property there was an Airstream that was just hanging out but was hooked up to an adjacent property so someone was living on site. This was never disclosed and a little odd. They need to install a fence to make this property a little more "private". Also not enough toilet paper was provided between all the cabins (fyi, bring extra TP if you have girls, we had 3 moms and 3 girls). Other than that Morro has an amazing community and everyone around the neighborhood welcomed us with open arms. From Legends bar, to Abe and his amazing pizzas (practically your next door neighbor) We had an amazing time.

Great Spot in Morro Bay

Wonderful large well-planned property with plenty of indoor and outdoor space for guests/families. Smack in the middle of Main St. : great local businesses, food, and bars within a block or two. Embarcadero is a short walk away [uphill though]. Only drawback is parking , but it is manageable.

Great visit

Our family spent a very enjoyable week in these 3 cabins. Their location is super - we could walk to the port, pop across the street for a coffee or pizza or simply sit in the cute yard and relax. The cabins were all super cosy, comfortable and well stocked. We enjoyed having the 3 cabins for privacy and being able to easily come together as a larger family for meals, etc. All in all, I already miss being on vacation in this great rental!

Nice multi-cottage property

As a group of 7 friends we enjoyed how this 3 cottage property gave us a combination of group and individual spaces. We also enjoyed it's location near Morro Bay on a commercial space. It allowed us to access the bay, shopping, and restaurants all within a few blocks. It was a nice combination of close activities along side many other adventures within driving distance.

Sweet Cottage Compound!

Wow, we really loved our stay and felt that the rental agency was super responsive and proactive. The cottages look smaller in the photos we had seen online and we were impressed by the communal outdoor areas. The large firepit was one of our favorites and we enjoyed the bbq and patio dining to eat together. This was a perfect fit for our family to come together and explore Morro Bay.
