About this property

Ocean Front Cottage!! Beauty on the outside, Charm on the inside!

Beautiful, completely restored in March 2020 Beach Front home. Great curb appeal, but even better view from the ocean side. Private stairs to the beach. Full view patio doors in great room open to let in the sea breezes. Beautiful wood floors throughout. Great surfing right from the backyard. Several additional great surf breaks in short walking distance. Surf fishing from the backyard. Great kayaking. Volleyball area in the cove.

This home is a beautiful cottage built in the early 1900's and has been completely restored and updated with all of the creature comforts you need to relax and make this your get away destination. This is truly a great cottage, but there is no question that being on the beach makes all of the difference in the world! You don't have to walk the kids to the beach! They are there! The hot water shower is right there in the backyard, steps away from the beach. If you have stayed in a home on the beach, you understand! If you haven't, now is your opportunity!

The central coast is the up and coming wine region of California. Templeton, Paso Robles, Edna Valley and even Cayucos and Cambria offer many destination wineries to tour, taste and buy.

If you are not into wine touring, there are so many activities right outside your door. You may decide to park the car and just stay put for the week.

“Journeys End” was a little slice of paradise in Cayucos! Incredible sunsets, awesome beach for daily walks/runs, beautiful landscaping, firepit and several outdoor options for hanging out. Inside offered comfy beds, pillows and a great couch for reading or snuggling up for a movie. It was just what we needed… a beautiful, peaceful, relaxing and comfy cottage on the beach. Top of our list of the many vrbos we have stayed at… we will go back for sure! Absolutely loved it!

A week of R & R on the beach

The property was amazing, the outside gardens and fountains were beautiful spots to relax and get out of the wind if needed, the beach access was easy, so little preplanning and packing was needed. Beach chairs and boogie boards were available which was great because we didn't bring any. The house was unique and had the feel of a vacation get away.

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful property! The home was absolutely amazing and had everything we needed to have a perfect mini family getaway. The only down side was the 10:00am check out felt a little rushed, 11:00am would have been perfect! We definitelty plan on booking again.

Nice stay in Cayucos

Nice cottage on the beach. Very clean and cozy. Two couples. We used this as a base camp to explore the area, Morro Bay, visited Hearst Castle, Ragged Point and Wineries and shopping in Paso Robles. Great views from den and back patio.

Family Beach Adventure

We absolutely loved this cottage by the sea. The patio was perfect for watching the ocean and relaxing. The ocean was just a few steps away. Our five-year-old made sand castles while her parent took long walks on the beach. The town of Cayucos was within walking distance. I hope to return to this fantastic beach home soon. Betty

About the host

Hosted by Lauren Bowin

Host profile image
My mom grew up in this little coastal town and I always wanted a vacation home here. Fortunately my native Texan wife, opted for a vacation home here vs. the Texas panhandle. We love the place and enjoy it when it isn't being enjoyed by others!

Why they chose this property

Small town with a small town feeling. Great beaches. Great hiking. Great surfing. Beautiful central coast.

If you want to see additional pictures and get the latest updates, add Cayucos by the Sea on Instagram.

What makes this property unique

We walk to Morro Bay, about 5.5 miles to the south at least once a week when we stay here. We kayak and surf as much as we can. We walk 1 mile to the north to downtown Cayucos and hang out at Cayucos Coffee in the morning with the locals. Great dining at Cafe Della Via The Hidden Kitchen, right down town.

On a practical side, being right on the beach and having the private beach access with a great cove at the foot of the steps is a huge bonus. Cuts way down on the logistical issues of packing for beach activities! Hot water outside shower was probably one of the 'smartest' things we added!
