Wonderful place to stay in Morro Bay

We loved this vacation rental. It was so beautifully decorated, comfortable and in a great location right on the water. We watched sea otters and seals from the front deck. Just perfect for two people and a little dog!!

The absolute best stay! The Boathouse is beautifully decorated and perfectly stocked. The view can't be beat. Sitting on the deck and watching the otters play was a highlight of our trip. We were within walking distance to the embarcadero and the Morro Rock, as well as restaurants, bars and shops. Excellent property, location and host!

The best spot on the water in Morro Bay!

We've been coming to Morro Bay for a long time and this is the best place we've stayed. There are a few other places close to the water, but not this private. The house was amazing and we took full advantage of the deck on the water, but also enjoyed the fire pit at night. The side garden is very peaceful the house is very walkable to restaurants and the Embarcadero. We'll definitely be coming back!

Delightful getaway with a view!

The property was bigger and nicer than it looks in the pictures. The host was amazing and accommodated our animals. The fire pit actually has a view, but you might not know that from the photos. It had everything you could possibly need and a great firm bead. Location is great…. You can easily walk to the restaurants along the pier.

The Boathouse

Such a hidden gem. If you like coffee while overlooking the bay, wine while watching the sunset, and a place for your soul to find peace and tranquility, this is the place to go! Clean, quiet and charming. I will definitely return again and again. Thank you so much for sharing your seaside villa with me.

What a peaceful place! CP close!

This was such a nice place to stay for my daughter's graduation from Cal Poly. It was only 15-20 minutes away from campus, but such a nice, quiet escape to an otherwise hectic weekend. Everything was in great shape. It felt like we were alone out there, even though there are other places nearby. The way it is situated is very private and very quiet! We only wish we had more time to hang out and relax. We will definitely be back!
