Perfect Getaway: "This house was perfect! It was beautiful and comfortable, with all the amenities. The house was clean, well-maintained, and stocked with many necessities. It is a quick walk to my favorite beach and a short drive downtown. The hot tub in the backyard was a favorite spot at night for relaxing and stargazing. The huge flat-screen TV, wireless internet, and ping pong table were also big hits. We are so glad we chose The Palms!"

Family Retreat: "The Palms in Morro Bay was the perfect getaway retreat for our family holiday! From beach walks to relaxing in the hot tub under the stars, it was a wonderful change of pace for our busy family. The property was beautifully decorated, clean, and very comfortable. The beds and bedding were luxurious, and the kitchen was well-appointed for family cooking and entertaining. We will be back for another Central Coast retreat!"

We were a bit surprised at the location and the long walk to the beach. Otherwise, we were completely pleased.

Response from VrboOwner on Jul 27, 2026
Thank you so much for your kind comments; we're delighted you enjoyed your stay! We're sorry the walk to the beach felt longer than you expected. For many of our guests, the beach is about a 3–5 minute walk (roughly 500 steps) through the Morro Strand Campground before your feet are in the sand. It's one of the things many visitors come to appreciate, as the peaceful walk through the campground is part of the experience.

Great home in a beautiful area!! Sending a special thanks to the owners for accommodating a late check out due to an unexpected medical emergency with my elderly aunt. Being able to rest before traveling home after being in the ER since the early hours made all the difference in the world for us. Would definitely stay again!

Thank you so much for your kind review. We're so sorry your vacation included an unexpected trip to the ER, and we hope your aunt is doing much better. We're grateful we were able to offer a late checkout so you could catch your breath before the journey home. Sometimes a little extra time can make all the difference. We'd love to welcome you back under much happier circumstances. Wishing you and your family all the best!

We so enjoyed our elder sibling visit this past weekend!! The house is clean and well managed, close to the beach, probably a 2 block walk. We tend to stay in and visit and play games and found the kitchen wonderfully equipped for all of our needs. The only con we found was that 2 of the bedrooms have really tall beds and it was hard for a few of us to manage them, especially in the middle of the night getting in and out to get to the restroom. Minor detail and we managed!! Thanks Lisa for your warm hospitality and great communication.

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're so happy the house was a great place for your sibling weekend. It sounds like you made the most of your time together, and we love hearing that the kitchen had everything you needed for cooking, visiting, and game nights. We also appreciate your feedback about the taller beds. That's helpful to know, and we'll look at ways to better communicate that in our listing so guests know what to expect. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we'd love to welcome your family back for another gathering. Warmly, Lisa

About the host

Hosted by Lisa

Host profile image
We love Morro Bay and feel fortunate to share it with our guests over the years! Our life experience includes work experience in the hospitality industry, interior design, and property management. Our guests and neighbors are very important to us and we strive to make it a great experience for everyone.

Why they chose this property

The floorplan is wonderfully open and airy and very comfortable for everyone to spend time together. A true GREAT room feeling with lots of special touches to pamper you on your vacation. Great spot and we just love the area !

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location. Although we are not beachfront and do not have a view we are on the WEST side of Highway 1 with just a 4 minute walk to the sand (Beach side of PCH). The trek to the sand is easy and comfortable for you and your parents as well. We have a peak of Morro Rock from our living room and are in a small residential neighborhood with friendly neighbors and little traffic. We are in Northern Morro Bay perfectly located for easy access both north and south on highway 1. Our little beach neighborhood is called the Beach Tract and is a bit slower than in town. Also we are just a few minutes to 'Dog Beach' with miles of beachfront to explore. It really is the perfect spot...
