We had such a fun reunion of 7-8 friends and the cottages worked out perfectly for our group! We met outside for coffee each morning and shared dinners at the big table outside followed by dessert (S’mores) at the fire pit! Each cottage and the main home are cozy and charming but did have some quirks (toilet valve issue dim lighting in kitchen) but it all worked out. Note: The beds in the main home are very high but step stools were provided. The location is a huge plus — so easy to walk to shops, bars, restaurants and the Embarcadero! We would highly recommend the cottages to friends and/or families. It’s a fantastic place for gatherings!

The host provided information in a reasonable time and responsed quickly. The house is perfectly located within 2 blocks of the harbor. The Saturday Farmers Market is at its doorsteps. Overall, the stay was great, you cannot beat 3 full homes in one location, perfect for a family getaway.

There were three generations of us, and the property is set up perfectly for this, affording some privacy for everyone. We loved the big patio area, which allowed us to BBQ and all eat dinner together in one place, and the fire pit was great. The quaintness of the homes really grows on you the longer you are there. The location is perfect, with coffee shops and stores walking distance nearby. The amenities are really old, claw foot tubs, very low toilets, squeaky floors, so be sure to get expect that. But overall, we had a wonderful time and really enjoyed the three little cottages.

We had a 3 generations reunion with 5 staying there and hosted local family. Perfect outdoor shared space right in town and just a few blocks from the harbor. The fire pit was great and the cottages well equipped.

Perfect Get Away with Friends

My friends and I enjoyed our stay here so much. We loved the location of staying right in town and walking everywhere we needed to. We also loved the privacy in each of the homes with the shared space of the patio and fire pit areas. We will definitely be staying here again!

Just perfect! Wonderful property for all age groups. We had a great week and were sad to leave. Main house is large enough for everyone to be together then separate at night to sleep. Great outdoor back yard area for the kids to play and plenty of front yard people watching space. Would not hesitate to book this property again.

Great location and property

We loved the cottage concept - very nice to have a central shared area between each of our rooms. All three houses were excellent, definitely a little aged but I think it enhanced the historic feel of the houses. Awesome location in the middle of downtown!

Great Spot in Morro Bay

Wonderful large well-planned property with plenty of indoor and outdoor space for guests/families. Smack in the middle of Main St. : great local businesses, food, and bars within a block or two. Embarcadero is a short walk away [uphill though]. Only drawback is parking , but it is manageable.

Great visit

Our family spent a very enjoyable week in these 3 cabins. Their location is super - we could walk to the port, pop across the street for a coffee or pizza or simply sit in the cute yard and relax. The cabins were all super cosy, comfortable and well stocked. We enjoyed having the 3 cabins for privacy and being able to easily come together as a larger family for meals, etc. All in all, I already miss being on vacation in this great rental!

Familymeeting in Morro Bay

We had a very good time at this lovely and charming place. Everything we needed was available, and we had very fast and competent help with the little WiFi problem we had at first. Morro bay is such a nice place and everything is in walking distance. We can highly recommend these houses for a group or a big family. We can't wait to come back.

Unique location

Our stay was lovely, everyone was very comfortable and loved being able to walk to just about everywhere we needed to go. Having separate little houses made it feel private and large. We used just about every spot we could enjoying the houses during the day and spending the nights around the fire pit. Just about everything we needed was here and very easy to follow all directions.

Well located multi-structure property

This is our second time staying in this property. It works well for our friend group who likes to vacation together. There are 3 structures on the property, so people can join the group or get away as desired. It's located on Main Street so there is plenty of activities within walking distance and access to many interesting destinations within driving distance.

Celebration of Life Trip

Came down to host a celebration of life ceremony for my mom in Los Osos where she is now buried with my dad. My family of four along with my 90 year old mother in law, two sister in laws and brother in law (8 of us) all stayed very comfortably in the three cottages. It was a beautiful weekend experience given the reason we were there-my mom would have lived the place! Thank you!

The good and the bad

Excellent location. Fun to have so many good coffee shops, restaurants and shops out our front door.The houses need redecorating, dark and worn. Could be so cute. Poor lighting and barely adequate kitchens. No place inside to sit down more then 5 to eat together. Not a Premier Host.Management company excellent and responsive. Fixed lighting as much as possible and oven issues.Loved Morro Bay. It is special place.

Jean, Thank you for staying with us this summer and for sharing your experience. I am quite sad that after hosting you for three weeks and our efforts to assist you with the various requests you made throughout your stay, we didn't earn a better rating. It is important that I clarify a few things for other travelers. The home is made up of three cottages, each tastefully decorated to match the year that particular cottage was built. The means that much of the decor is antique and themed to match the history of the home. If we redecorated, it would lose its charm! But mattresses, bedding, sofas, appliances, etc are all new. The lighting issues that Jean encountered were with exterior censored lights that are motion triggered, and some bedroom fan/light combos that we worked so hard to explain the correct operation of. Lastly, it is true that the only place for dining larger groups is outside, but there is a dining set on the central patio to seat 10. However, this is disclosed in the advertising. Jean, we are glad that you love Morro Bay and the location of this home. We worked very hard to help meet your needs and enjoyed hosting you. Thank you, URelax Vacation Rental Management

Good but not great

Cute compound. Parking was lacking (street parking only). Needs some improvements such as safety rails for showers. The studio apartment lacked heating and lost power our last day. A few windows don’t lock. The tub showers need shampoo shelves.

Hello Cathy, Thank you for the feedback on the property and your recent stay with us. This property is located in the downtown district of Morro Bay where only street parking is available, we do our best to communicate this to our guests in the listing and pre-arrival information. We appreciate all of the notes for items in the home and will be sure to pass this along to the owners for improvement. We hope you enjoyed your time at the property and we hope to host you again in the Morro Bay area soon. Our Best, URelax Vacation Rentals

Family trip

The place was nice, the only thing that we didn't like is that there was no shampoo or conditioner in any restroom, so you have to take your own. Usually when you rent a home they provide all that stuff, so we had to go to a supermarket to get some. We also had to go get coffe and sugar cause that also wasn't provided, even hotels have that. Everything else was good, we had a great family time and enjoyed the walking distance from the shops etc.

Morro Bay stay

The main house is quaint. It is nice to have separate quarters for sleeping, especially if it is more than just family. Nice to have a coffee shop close by. The best part of the area was Abe, the owner of the wood-fire pizza place. What a generous and friendly man. I was surprised by the street parking situation, even though it advertised the street parking. . The trees made a mess of the vehicles. Didn't like that the gate entrance provided access to anyone.
