beach tract, 2 blocks to beach, rooftop deck
Great location. Easy to explore the town and drive over to the next town to explore. Close to hearst castle, SLO and a few other fun towns. Close to Morro Bay and Morro bay rock. Fun surf at Morro Bay rock. Great place to stay for the location and amenities like an outdoor shower, roof top deck and having a kitchen to cook in.

(050) A World Away
We had a wonderful time and loved it! Wish we could have stayed longer!

Cayucos Gem steps from the Beach.
We had 6 sleep comfortably using the air mattress. We did host dinner for 13 comfortably. Shower pressure was good. Hot water was always present. Had good laundry and dryer machines. Clean place. Convenient location. Can walk downtown in 10 minutes and to the beach in 5 minutes. Check in was easy. I think there was a hiccup because we didn’t receive the door code prior to check in. However, I was able to text Newell, and he called me back with the code. Newell was quick to help us with other minor things to help make our stay enjoyable. One thing to add on is easier access to netflix and amazon prime. The Smart TV only works with Samsung phones. We had to do a hack to connect a laptop to the TV and then use the internet wifi to access Netflix and Amazon Prime. However, this was a minor issue. We loved using the fireplace! We left items behind accidentally, but Newell allowed us to get them. Overall we had a 5 star stay, and we had a memorable and warm time.

Beach Front Oasis
Enjoyable and beautiful location. Definitely would stay again and highly recommend.

Steps to Cayucos Pier + Beach | Stylish Bungalow
We had a great time staying here. very close to the beach and had food options near by. Awesome views of sunset. Dog friendly... overall would recommend!!!

Pier View Paradise
My family and I had a wonderful time at this condo! The condo was clean and exactly as discribed, and the views were amazing and it was easy to get to the beach. It was also close enough to walk to many of the restaurants and shops, but still was far enough away to still feel like you had privacy, and the beach never got too busy. We also loved that this area was super dog friendly. If you enjoy the small town atmosphere and amazing views, I would highly recommend this place!

The Boathouse Cottage Waterfront Morro Bay
We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. It was so cute, clean, and unique. It had everything we needed and we felt right at home. The porch right on the water was amazing too. We splurged a bit to stay here but it was well worth it!

Oceanview Beach House + Game Room, Patio, Fire Pit
Great vacation stay for 4 adults and 2 kids. View was amazing and the house had what we needed. We did need some extra coffee, which was easy to get from the Tides office. We did have one instance of some people trying to use the patio, like someone else had mentioned, but they left when we told them it wasn’t public. Overall a great place to stay.

San Luis Bay Inn - Studio
Great location and nicely maintained older resort! Exactly as described and can’t beat the view or location.

Avila Beach 1 bedroom with full kitchen time share
We had a great time at this facility. The room was clean and well stocked with the necessities. The people working at the Inn are friendly and eager to accommodate any needs. They gave our daughter coloring books and let her look at and touch all the halloween decorations. There are lots of spaces to enjoy/relax on the grounds from your own patio, to the obvious poolside, to a chair on the green grass overlooking the bay, the game room with big windows or the shared lounge patio with a cozy gas fire. It never felt crowded, but the other guests were also all quite friendly. Our needs/questions were quickly met by both Sharon and the facility staff. We found many things to do nearby in Avila, Pismo or San Luis Obisbo. In particular, we geared our trip towards young kids; we walked the pier, saw seals, visited the aquarium, enjoyed a playground by the beach and one ON the beach, saw steelhead jumping in the river, shopped in the outlets, got ice cream and visited the Avila Valley Barn with a petting zoo and pumpkins. We would absolutely stay again.

RV Glamping Experience in Pismo Beach!
We had a great time staying at the RV! It was clean, fit 2 people and a small dog easily. It was easy to get in and out and explore the Pismo Beach area.

San Luis Bay Inn - Studio
We truly enjoyed our stay!

San Luis Bay Inn - Studio
What can I say about this place except it was incredible! It was even better than we were expecting! I almost want to gate keep it because I don’t want the competition when booking. In all seriousness though, this place will be a yearly trip for us. We couldn’t be happier with our experience!

Strandcastle Beach House - Oceanfront!
My guests and I loved the home. There was plenty of everything. Kitchen was well stocked. Ocean view was amazing from the decks. We had a fabulous time

Don't Worry, Be Happy: Ocean, Pismo, SLO, Avila
Don't Worry, Beach Happy was a delightful and comfortable place for us to enjoy as a family. Amber was extremely responsive and proactive with her communication.

Whale Hello! Avila Oceano Pismo
Amber and her husband are great hosts. The location is right next to the beach, walking distance and the pier is about 5 minutes away loved it will be going back.

LIFE IS SWELL Beach Front Oceano Pismo Avila SLO
Had a great time at Ambers place ! The place is super comfy and home-like. While the space isn’t too big, our group of 7 fit perfectly. Everything was what we expected and Amber is awesome !! The only downside that may be a problem for some is the noise from the tenants upstairs. You can hear them walking up & down the stairs and you can hear their conversations pretty clearly as well. We didn’t care too much for the noise but just a warning for future guests! Thank you Amber for the opportunity to stay here, we had the best time & will definitely return!

Spacious Beachside Cabana in Downtown Cayucos
What a nice little getaway- right on the beach! We had a great time- 1 night - so much to do. In my opinion it is the perfect AirBNB. Bed comfortable- nice kitchen. The ocean at our fingertips. We found a nice beach 11 miles away called elephant seal beach, that had like a thousand massive seals on it. Morro bay is a few mins away as well.

Emberlight | Bungalow #4
It was the perfect stay for what we needed and looked exactly like the pictures! It was only a block away from all the shops and restaurants, and the beach which was so convenient. They even had beach chairs which were super helpful (well, all of the amenities were!). Kyle was very helpful and the communication overall was thorough and consistent. We will absolutely stay here again when we come to town!
