About Denise
We moved here from Atlanta Georgia in 2002 after discovering it a few years earlier.
We just MADE IT HAPPEN! We traveled extensively all over the country and found this place to be the most beautiful place we have EVER been. We made it our home and to get involved in the community we bought a small restaurant in Morro Bay and have been loving making new friends and being involved.
Offering our vacation home to guests fulfills our desire to share the experience of living in paradise. We look forward to sharing all the details of how you and your family or friends can make the most of this experience too.
Denise purchased this house in 2005
Why Denise chose Central Coast
The community of Cabrillo Estates is one of the only 3-4 hillside communities that is right at the edge of the pacific ocean in the central coast between Avila Beach and Monterey. It has the best
views comparably and is right around the corner from one of California's best kept secrets, Montana De Oro. We consider it our own 8000 acre back yard which has pristine beaches, miles of coastal bluff and mountain trails, tide pools and beautiful seasonal wild flowers. After being here for 14 years I am still amazed when I drive through the community and think to myself, is there anything more beautiful than this?
The location is very close to downtown Morro Bay and a short drive to San Luis Obispo, Pismo & Avila Beach to the south and Cayucos and Cambria to the North. It is also a short drive to over 250 wineries and all kinds of interesting events occurring all year throughout San Luis Obispo County.
What makes this house unique
The views, the views and the views! This spacious home is so convenient for families to enjoy togetherness yet individual space all under one roof. The house comes with everything our guests need to have a great vacation. From the oversupplied huge kitchen to a great supply of beds, linens, towels as well as wireless broadband internet, 5 cable tv's, a large pool table and piano in the 6th private sleeping room. You can sit in the kitchen at the large dining table and watch the deer and bunnies in the back yard which is framed by old towering eucalyptus trees presenting the awesome ocean and Morro Rock views. A moment to treasure. Oh and did I mention the views?

Reviews
Wonderful!
4.9/5 -
(55 traveler reviews)
Beautiful view of Morro Bay coastline.
Our family had a reunion for 13 people. Plenty of space. 5 bedrooms for the couples. There are trundle beds in 3 of the bedrooms, so if you have families with children, they can stay in the same room. The kitchen is spacious, fully equipped with cooking utensils/pots and pans for making large meals of soups, pasta dishes, casseroles, or any main dish. Activities within the house are: pool table, ping pong in the garage, lots of space for boardgames and charades, private reading areas, and a large backyard. Laundry facilities available on site. It had all the comforts of home, in a gorgeous setting. Beautiful hiking areas along the coast and in the hills. Our ages ranged from 11 years to 70, and everyone was thrilled with the property. The owner was very attentive to any questions or requests. Thank You, Denise!
Wonderful Place
The house is very cozy and comfortable. The rooms were spacious. The kitchen was large enough to cook meals for our 12 guests. We loved the large yard that had a very nice view of the ocean. Denise (home owner / caretaker) was very easy to work with.
Not what we expected
We rented the house for a week long family get together of 6 adults and 6 children (ages 2 – 12). We looked on line for Morro Bay and the house came back on the HomeAway search as Morro Bay. However, after paying the deposit we received the Rental Agreement and noted it was actually in Los Osos. We were assured there was adequate beach areas within a mile but this was not our experience. The neighborhood streets are very hilly and not conducive to casual walking or strollers.
The house is also not ideal for toddlers. Not only for the hilly streets, but the backyard has a drop off beyond the fence which is an open ranch-type fence that is not a deterrent to keeping anything or anyone in or out of the yard. In addition, cleaning items & chemicals were stored in lower cabinets without child locks.
While the house was spacious to accommodate us all, the bathrooms had very few hooks or towel bars to hold wet towels after showers or baths. Therefore, more frequent washing of towels was required, which quickly became a problem due to the next issue.
Our two significant criteria were a big kitchen and a washer/dryer. The washer stopped working after one load on the first night we arrived. Despite Denise’s efforts and those of her handyman, a service call by a technician needed to be scheduled and was not available until the day before we checked out. Denise did offer to take our laundry to be washed & dried. However, that process wasn’t efficient for us due to the turnaround and our need to still do delicates and line dry items by hand, adversely impacting our vacation time.
We also found out that mice were a problem, resulting in having to discard a significant amount of food that was in the pantry. A dead mouse was found in the garage and rat poison was outside by the garbage cans – info we were not aware of despite receiving lots of other info in person at check-in.
Most disconcerting was the fact that we were initially blamed for the washer and the mice problems, leading to some disconcerting conversations about refunds and offering of better and/or multiple solutions when such things occur. As such, we would not recommend this residence if there are young children in the group or, for that matter, for anyone else if the issues we experienced have not been addressed properly.
50th Wedding Anniversary Family Celebration
I don't think we could have found a more perfect place to celebrate our 50th Anniversary with our family of 16 (12 adults and 4 teens). The house is well appointed, spacious and for people who enjoy cooking and eating the kitchen is amazing and well stocked with essential ingredients, pots and pans, etc. We enjoyed exploring the many beautiful places along the Central Coast as well as the Tobin James Winery in Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo Farmer's Market and the must see Montana De Oro State Park. The home owner Denise was a very gracious host who gave us many helpful ideas that enriched our visit even more. Highlights for me were Beer at the Pier in Baywood, Sea Elephants near San Simeon, Ragged Point, golf at Sea Pines and the joy of having our family together for this special occasion. You won't be disappointed if you choose this property for your special event.
Family Reunion Favorite
First review, third time we've stayed in this home.
We love this house and its location. We have a family reunion every couple of years with people flying in from all over the country who rent various homes and attend events together. We had four family groups staying in this house, eight kids and six adults, and it never felt crowded.
There was plenty of space for everyone. The house was well-stocked with items in the kitchen and for guest use. We used the beach chairs and the sand toys often. Be sure to check out the jacuzzi in the master bath- it fit four kids and a toddler. The ping pong table and the pool table also got a lot of use. We had children from toddler age to teenagers, and there was enough entertainment and supplies for all of them. The portable crib worked out great. Denise was generous enough to supply the house with a baby monitor just before we arrived.
Our group didn't plan out meals that well, but Denise helped solve that problem by her policy of donating leftover unused food items to local agencies (no guilt over an unopened carton of milk going to waste!)
Her "house book" in the kitchen has clear directions on how to use the tv (and everything else you need to know about the house and town). I didn't find it in time, so we didn't use one of the tv's, and the kids figured out the others right away.
There are many activities to do just a short drive away. If you need a meeting place for a meal for your group and don't want to chase little kids all over, the South Bay Community Center is right down the street. They have a meeting room and adjacent playground.
We enjoyed this house. It really has the feel of being home away from home.
Perfect for large family gathering
We absolutely loved our time in Morro Bay and found the Bowie house to be the perfect accommodation for our large family. Even with 16 people there was more than enough room to spread out and feel comfortable. The house has everything kids and adults need to vacation in style. We enjoyed the amazing view, pool table, ping pong table and back yard that was perfect for badminton or croquet. Denise Robson provided many sightseeing suggestions and tips for enjoying the myriad of options in and around Morro Bay. I would recommend the Bowie house for family reunions and celebrations. It's truly a little slice of heaven.
