Perfect Getaway: "This house was perfect! It was beautiful, comfortable, and had 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!"

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.

We enjoyed another great visit to Morro Bay. This house is located very close to the beach and dog beach. The cul de sac is nice and quiet and the house has everything you need in a home away from home. The host is also super nice and easy to work with!

As locals needing a place for our family to stay while our house is under construction, Lisa's home provided comfort and ease on a cul-de-sac, and being next to the Christmas-decorate house was a sweet treat.

Perfect Place for a Family Getaway!

House is in a great location, next to a State Beach and walking distance to the Cayucos dog beach. It was clean and comfortable, and very well stocked. Instructions were clear and concise. Check in and out process was very easy. We really enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit and ping pong table. Beds were comfortable, linens were high quality. This is a well loved home and we appreciate it being shared!

Incredible stay!

We had a fantastic time staying at this little slice of paradise in Morro Bay. The house was SUPER clean (which was very important to us given COVID), and everything was provided that we could possibly need. The hot tub, fire pit, ping pong table, and all of the little touches make this truly one of the best houses we've rented. Lisa was super communicative leading up to and during our stay, and we honestly could not have hoped for anything more. We will definitely be coming back in the future!

Walk to the beach

Just a short stroll thru the lovely neighborhood to the ‘no-dogs’ beach and a quick 5 minute drive to the Cayucas ‘dogs ok’ beach. Noise sensitive folks should be aware of the home’s proximity to the highway. Owner was wonderful to work with during the week we stayed there and very helpful with items inadvertently left behind.

family get away

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and your home was beautiful. We loved the single story and the fact that we didn't have to climb stairs, as in past rentals. We would definitely stay there again, however, we had one complaint. The water pressure in the master shower was very low and difficult to shower; and we couldn't figure out how to use the ice maker. Thanks for a wonderful week

Great location, nice house and walk to the beach

We love coming to Morro Bay and this house really made our visit special. The minute you walk in, you can tell it is well-taken care of and very clean. It is located at the end of a court, so very minimal car traffic in front of the house. The house is well stocked and it was the first time I did not have to go out and buy extra toilet paper or paper towels for a VRBO. I appreciated that. The owner was very responsive and helpful when we had a question and overall very nice to talk to. Really nice visit and we would love to stay here again. Thank you for the great visit and providing a very nice place to stay.

Great Time

The house was nice. We had a great time in the jacuzzi. The owner was very friendly and available. We brought our 2 dogs and they had the best time. The house was clean, had plenty of games, including ping pong, plus some beach stuff. The only thing I would ask is a smart tv, so we could stream. Otherwise be very specific about that so people can bring a Roku. We had a few soccer games to watch, but luckily my son hooked his laptop up to the tv, so we could watch them. Other than that, a great place to stay!! :)

It was perfect!

It was like at first sight. The entrance to the house is really spectacular. Four of us spent 5 nights and enjoyed every minute. The house is extremely comfortable and had plenty of room for two couples. We never had time to use the hot tub, but it was nice knowing it was there. We had an easy drive to down town Morro Bay and the Harbor. Did some exploring in Cambria, Cayucos and walked the beaches at Morro Strand. Lisa is a joy to work with and was available to answer questions by e-mail, text or even a phone call. She did everything she could to make our stay comfortable. We all would highly recommend the Taco Temple if you like good Mexican food and large portions. We all agreed we would definitely return to Morro Bay and Lisa's beautiful house but perhaps we'll stay a week next time.

This property is perfect! Great location! Walked to the beach on a short walk every evening to see the sunset. We cooked breakfasts and some dinners, the kitchen had everything we needed. Beds were very comfortable and the master shower was great! It was a short drive to town, or to Cayucos. Lisa's communication was wonderful, even when I messed up and thought we were not leaving until the next day, she was very kind! We wil be back someday, and hope it is available, as we would love to stay again! Thank you Lisa for everything!

Great bay get away

We had a wonderful time. The location was steps from the beach, which we visited daily, and close to food and shops. We used the hot tub and fire pit which were clean and easy to operate. We used the oven to bake a pot pie from Linn’s in Cambria, it worked well and the pie was fantastic. The outdoor shower came in handy to rinse off after the beach and all the games and ping pong in the garage we do fun for us all after adventuring all day.

Beach Bliss

The hot tub jets were excellent for sore muscles after a long drive, and the beds were so comfortable with nice, soft sheets. Loved the short walk to the beach and to the pub. Played lots of ping pong and card games with my boys. It was such a nice respite and easy for my CalPoly-student daughter to get to us after her finals were over. Lisa was very responsive and cool; we thoroughly enjoyed our visit and the conversations by the fire pit.

The hosts went above and beyond to make their home a special place for us for Christmas. We traveled from North Carolina to be with our children who both live in California and we could not have felt more welcome. They answered our questions immediately even though it was their holiday too. If we ever travel to Morro Bay again, we will stay in this home without question.

Seasons Change...Integrity does not

I spent 4 days in this house with 2 of my girlfriends from College. We all went to school in San Luis Obispo, so we wanted to go back to the scene of the crime. The house was great. Fully stocked with all kitchen and bathroom needs. The pingpong table in the garage gave us hours of entertainment (also a couch in the garage). I should have made this review back in March after we left. Shame on me that I didn't. Here is the deal, I discovered a week ago that my absolute favorite, very expensive sweater, was missing. I have not needed this sweater in months so I didn't realize that it was missing. I decided after 2 days of stewing over it to reach out to the owners of my March VRBO. I had no expectations of finding it but I had to try. I don't normally spend that much on a sweater but I really loved it so I did it. After I sent an email to Lisa, the owner, she got back to me within ten minutes to tell me that she had it and that she would mail it to me in the next two days. She didn't even ask me for money. Of course I insisted on paying for the shipment. Please note, Lisa told me immediately that items are often left behind in their rentals and that they have a policy of waiting one month to see if anybody inquires looking for an item. Again, I left my sweater in March. She told me that she had a feeling that somebody one day would come looking for this sweater so she kept it. And here I am. Thank you Lisa for being a great human. I will rent from you anytime.

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...
