Cayucos Cottage. Steps to the Best Beach in Cayucos.

I love getting up in the morning pouring myself a cup of coffee and sitting on the front watching the sun rise over the mountain tops and listening to the ocean in the background. It is so peaceful in this wonderful neighborhood. The ocean and in my opinion the best beach in Cayucos is less than 150 yards away from the front door of this perfect beach cottage. Everything you need is here just bring your suitcase and a good book. You are walking distance to all the restaurants, shops and saloons. Walking the the beach at sunset and having a glass of wine is a great way to end another perfect day in Cayucos.

Keywords: Quiet neighborhood in the numbered streets. Walking distance to everything in the beautiful coastal town of Cayucos. Fishing, surfing, boogie board, go fly a kite, take a hike, have a nap on deck, roast marshmellows over a fire on the beach. Best place on the Central Coast to spend a few days or months.
Make yourself comfortable in this vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Featured amenities include laundry facilities and an elevator.

We just had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend in Cayucos.Our host, Melanie was most accomodating and welcoming.The "Cottage" was delightful, more like a very elegant & refined home near the beach.It was perfectly cleaned and prepared.The beds were perfect. ( I think we want the same at home) Updated bathrooms with great showers! A bright, open, airy kitchen with nearly everything you could want. Just a fantastic home for a two couples or a small family.

Lovely cottage very close to the beach! This is one of the most charming rental houses I've stayed in, and I've been renting vacation houses in Cayucos for years! This house has everything you need for cooking and relaxing, with comfortable furniture, all the kitchen necessities, washer/dryer, and two large and nicely appointed bathrooms, I spent hours in the large soaking tub. The house is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. I also found this to be a particularly well maintained property. Walk to the beach is about 3 minutes, and about 2 minutes drive to downtown Cayucos. I appreciate the straightforward and very minimal work needed to close out the house, which saves a lot of time when trying to pack up and leave! Overall, my family and I truly loved this place and we hope to stay here again!

Great Base Camp for the SLO Coast!

Another fantastic visit to Melanie’s lovely beach adjacent home. Already looking forward to our next trip! The location is great - 90 seconds walk to dog friendly, beautiful beach. Cayucos has old school beach town feel, also close to Morro Bay, Cambia (and Hearst Castle) - could do something different every day for weeks! The home itself is very thoughtful put together with a great kitchen and remodeled bathrooms - exactly as pictured. Thanks again!
