The cottage was very sweet, great location to travel to Pismo or Morrow Bay. There was a binder of information about hikes, restaurants and other attractions to view. Clean with a kitchen if we wanted to cook our own meals. A bar sits across the way with live music. We found a cute bakery and a great spot for breakfast. Overall it was a beautiful stay for our anniversary.

Stay HERE, not a hotel
We’ve been going to Los Osos at least twice a year for 20 years to visit family. We’ve always stayed in hotels ( probably stayed in at least 6 different ones). Although nice, they can’t beat this cottage. Super cute and comfy. Not claustrophobic like a hotel. Very comfortable bed, great kitchen, everything you need!! Coffee and tea provided, as well as creamer. Toaster, fridge, gas stove/oven. Cooking supplies and utensils. Nice shower with great products. Fold out twin along with the king bed. Close to restaurants and small food market. Farmers Market around the corner (Mondays). Very nice, responsive host. We (and our dog) were much more relaxed than at a hotel. Very highly recommend. Plus your own parking space. We will always choose this very nice place over a hotel in the future.

Great Property for Family Fun
We rented 3 side-by-side cottages for fun and relaxation in the Morro Bay area. The cottages are well-provisioned, easily accommodating three people each. A full kitchen, bathroom with shower, and a lovely patio is part of each cottage. Within walking distance are a park, a beach, a small grocery store, several restaurants and shops, and a laundromat. Nearby recreation includes hiking, kayaking, and beaches. These cottages helped to make a great vacation for our family!

Sweet cottage near the bay, centrally located
We enjoyed an eight night stay in Cottage #1. Parking spots are easy and the king size bed was one of the most comfortable we’ve experienced. We slept well during our entire stay except for one night when there was some late night people making noises in the street outside. There was an old cottage smell that welcomed us each time we entered. The kitchen was great for our long week and easy to make simple meals. We always appreciate dog friendly rentals that are nice places for humans too. We would stay here again.
