Check out our virtual tour to get an idea of what Melaleuca is all about! This is a vacation home you will talk about long after your departure...
We have several families that come twice a year!Just a few comments from our previous guests;
"I can't say enough about this home. Great location, phenomenal yard, clean, bright, well maintained. We have stayed at 10+ VRBO homes, usually VRBO homes are as described, and I have no complaints, however, this one exceeded our every expectation. We have never stayed at the same VRBO home twice, but we will be making an exception for this one!"
"I honestly cannot say enough about how perfect this home is for a vacation on the California shore. From the moment I contacted Lisa, everything came together. The best part was when we arrived at her home and felt like we were in heaven. The home has everything you need for a peaceful, comfortable and beautiful vacation. We loved the inside and outside. Everything was so thoughtfully decorated and equipped. We wished that we could have stayed much longer and have definitely decided it will be a place we will return. We especially loved how close it is to the ocean. Morning and evening walk on the beach was only a minute away. Thanks Lisa for all you did to make our trip so memorable."
"My family enjoyed a wonderful week at your home in Morro Bay. Everything was better than we expected and the pictures online do not do your home justice. It is much, much nicer in person. We slept so well in your comfy beds, we cooked delicious meals in the kitchen, spent hours at the beach (some days with no one else around) and returned to warm up in the Jacuzzi. In the evenings we watched pods of whales from the front room then roasted marshmallows at the fire pit, and watched movies or played ping pong. It was the perfect way to end the summer and get ready for school! We would love to make it a yearly tradition!"
The spring and summer dates are booking now and if you are interested in visiting us during the holidays or Cal Poly Graduation it is a good idea to book early as these dates go really fast. Contact us now so we can block your dates. During the summer months, our minimum stay is 6 nights.
ONE MINUTE WALK to MORRO STRAND STATE BEACH AND THE CLOISTERS BIKE/BEACH PATH. Enjoy the ocean views from our living room and walk to the beach in less than a minute. You can hear the sound of the waves, smell the ocean and enjoy the most amazing sunsets from our living room. Our home is single level living at its best! We are animal lovers and this sanctuary home and backyard are pet-friendly. Please note our pet fees are on a per dog, per day basis and the VRBO system of quoting is not accurate. If you would like to book online please note the pet fee will need to be updated.
This open and airy floor plan is perfectly situated for two couples and/or families with children. Also, we are a single story and we are kid and animal-friendly as well. Our 'Kids Kave' is a fav spot for the young at heart but the most outstanding feature of this home is the sanctum backyard that sets this home apart from most other rentals.
Just steps to the Cloisters bike/ beach path which is perfect for taking a leisurely stroll in the morning, walking your dog and or a casual bike ride towards town. For our “Active Animal Lovers” 'Dog Beach' in Cayucos is a 20-minute walk from our home and/or a 3-minute drive. Your dogs can roam off leash and are welcome to enjoy the ocean. Please note the beach directly in front of the entire Beach Tract neighborhood is dog prohibited and dogs are not allowed on the beach... this is a people and Snowy Plover beach only...:)
Our home is clean, new and beautifully decorated both inside and out. We are very confident you will not be disappointed. Guests have noted on several occasions that our home is nicer than our pictures represent and we have exceeded their expectations. The attention to detail is visible throughout with special touches so you feel pampered on your vacation. We have gone to great lengths to design a home that goes above and beyond your expectations in appointments, amenities, and furnishings.
This is not your ordinary vacation home rental.
The living room/ kitchen /great room is filled with natural light and is one of the favorite gathering spots with our guests. With views of the ocean, comfortable seating at the island, the kitchen table, and sofa, this is the place memories are made. The picture windows look out to the waves and the feeling in this room is tranquil. The big kitchen island and counters are done in beautiful dark granite and provide plenty of space for multiple cooks. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you could possibly need to prepare your meals including an extensive selection of spices and small specialty appliances. All the large appliances are brand new including a gas stove and oven, a refrigerator with ice and water available in the door and a microwave. This room is the perfect spot to cozy up on the couch to read a book or just enjoy the view.
Adjacent to our kitchen/great room is our family room where we have a large 55” SAMSUNG SMART Flat Screen TV which is the ideal for watching your favorite sports event and or surfing the internet. We have fast WIFI so you can stay connected if you need to. We have a top of the line leather sleeper sofa with the latest mattress technology to ensure a good night’s sleep when there are extra sleeping requirements. Both of our sofa beds are brand new and very comfortable.
Our home has 2 large bedrooms and both are very comfortable. Our first bedroom includes a very high-end Cal King bed which is extremely comfortable and may be a problem if you need to get out of bed in the morning… It’s just too comfy… finished with designer linens and bedding. This bedroom has lots of light and a beautiful view of the backyard. The view of the starry night from the windows is just beautiful.
Our hall bathroom is designed with custom tile throughout. The tub/shower combo is detailed with Travertine niches and countertops.
The Master bedroom suite in our home also includes our very comfy Cal King bed and a private master bathroom. The bathroom includes a custom tiled walk-in shower with two shower heads, a rain-head shower head, and a handheld showerhead. The granite sink and beautiful details in this bathroom inspire a feeling similar to a high-end boutique hotel and one we are sure you will enjoy.
The French doors from the Master open to a beautiful backyard that is landscaped with succulent gardens, butterfly and vegetable gardens, waterfalls including a brand new top of the line BBQ, three seating areas, wood/gas burning fire-pit and 6 person hot tub. The outside double lounge chair is ideal for napping in the afternoon. This beautifully landscaped 3000 sq. ft. backyard is a perfect place to unwind and enjoy time with your family and friends. Relaxing in the hot tub or sitting by the fire pit while enjoying smores is highly recommended. In addition, we are in a starry night neighborhood with very little light at night and when the skies are clear the stars are amazing…
We are located on the Central Coast of California in the City of Morro Bay. We are 4 hours north of Los Angeles and 4 hours south of San Francisco. If you travel the coastline of California we are ideally positioned in the center of the state and this is the perfect home base from which to explore popular locations like Monterey, Big Sur, Hearst Castle, Cambria, San Luis Obispo, Montana de Oro and Pismo Beach and Santa Barbara.
Morro Bay is heaven for those who enjoy strolling the beautiful beaches of the Central Coast. With miles of coastline to choose from and being centrally located, you can have it all...
We are far enough away from the city life to give you the feeling of escape...peace and quiet to relax and enjoy the beautiful central coast lifestyle and we are close enough for you to visit on a regular basis.
We are owner managed and operated and take pride in sharing our home. Cleanliness and customer service are two qualities that are highest on our list. Our home is one you will not soon forget but equal to the quality of our home and service really is the spectacular location. This is as close to beachfront as you can get and very worth the cost. Please note our cleaning fees include our home, our hot tub and expansive sanctuary backyard. During the summer months Melaleuca requires a 6-night minimum, and during the fall, winter and spring months we offer 3-night minimum stays.
