Great location

Great place in a nice neighborhood to walk our dog. Also, there is a really awesome dog beach close by! Easy to drive to 3 beach communities and beautiful sunsets. Just a few blocks from a market/grocery store too!

Initially, there was a communication problem and our check in was delayed by an hour. Janie and her mother were very gracious and took care of our every request.

Weekend getaway

We always love visiting Morro bay, but the rental enhanced the stay even more. It was so clean and very well equipped with spices and everything you would need in the kitchen. The bathroom was also well stocked. It was a relaxing, beautiful home. The plants were a fantastic enhancement as well. Thanks, Janie

Fantastic Stay!

We had a wonderful stay at Janie’s rental! The home is situated on a quiet street, offering a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere—perfect for a getaway. Everything was spotlessly clean upon arrival, and the kitchen was impressively well appointed with everything we needed to cook and enjoy meals comfortably. One of the highlights was the beautiful view, which we enjoyed every morning with our coffee. The home is filled with thoughtful, homey touches like live plants and fresh flowers that made the space feel warm and welcoming. You can tell the hosts truly care about their guests’ experience. Highly recommend this lovely place!

Lovely getaway bungalow

We loved our stay. The apartment is so well stocked with bathroom and kitchen supplies. So many spices to cook with. The home is thoughtfully decorated and has live plants throughout. The care put into the place is apparent. Between this and our lovely host and quiet neighborhood - it was just the best getaway to Morro Bay. We'll be back!

Great place just awkward stairs

The stay was good. The stairs felt a little steep and the gate at the top of the stairs made it a little hard to get in with hands full. The bed had a board that kept falling out no matter how many times I put it back. Other than that everything was excellent!

Okay

Good communication with owner. Description is inflated. It is not on the beach or coast. The neighborhood was not what I would call picturesque. Shower needs better water pressure to achieve "spa" claim. I would prefer fridge be cleaned of others' condiment leftovers. A microwave would have been great. Lots of space, and quiet.

Response from VrboOwner on 29 Jul, 2024
Hello Ruth, Thank you for taking the time to provide detailed feedback on your recent stay. I truly appreciate your kind words about my communication and the spacious, quiet environment the property offers. I apologize for any misunderstanding regarding the location description. While I strive to provide an accurate depiction, I will revisit the listing to ensure it is clear for future guests. Regarding the water pressure in the shower, I'm sorry it did not meet your expectations. I will look into this issue to improve my guests' experience. I also appreciate your suggestion about the microwave and will consider adding one for added convenience. Your comments about the cleanliness of the refrigerator have been noted, and I will ensure it is thoroughly checked between guests to avoid this in the future. Thank you again for your valuable feedback. I hope to have the opportunity to host you again and provide an even better experience. Best, Janie

BFF Weekend Get-away

The Girls' trip was once again a hit. Since there was only 3 of us this time, staying at Janie's was perfect. Two bedrooms and one bathroom. The shower seemed a bit uncomfortable because it was all open within the bathroom with no shower curtain, so it was a bit chilly and water seemed to splash outside the perimeter of the shower, but other than that, the bathroom was very cute. There was also a playful neighborhood cat that made herself at home on the outside stairs. The patio deck was very nice and had a beautiful view of the sunset. The house was supplied with all the necessities and beautiful, live plants were throughout. Everything was tidy and clean when we arrived. I would definitely stay at Janie's again. Thanks for the memories.
