Fantastic location! 15 minute walk to beach or downtown shops and restaurants. Super cute, comfortable and clean house. We did not spend any time on the gorgeous patio as it was pretty rainy, but the house itself was very cozy. Yes, it's on a busy(ish) street, but Morro Bay is very mellow, so not much car traffic anyway and very quiet inside the house. By far the biggest win was the location - if you want to be able to walk to food, shopping and the beach, this is as good as it gets!

Thank you for the happy review. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and the house. Please come again! ~ Kelly Marple
Pictures were accurate and although it's on a fairly busy street, by Morro Bay standards, it had appreciated amenities for our family of 4. It's an easy walk to just about anywhere you want to go in town. We'd definitely stay here again.

Stayed here during our annual trip to Morro bay. Nicely decorated home as shown in VRBO listing. Enjoyed the secluded patio. The location is very close to Embarcadero and Morro rock.

My husband and I + our 4 mo old had a great stay here. The house was at the center of town, walking distance from cute coffee shops/restaurants/stores/beach! Kelly was super quick to respond to all of our questions! We would definitely stay here again!
Great place for romantic get-away for family vacation. Easy to walk to many eateries and shops. Had some plumbing issues with shower not draining but manager responded quickly to address.
