Perfect for a month long stay for my dog and me

The fenced yard and proximity to Morro Bay Dog Beach was fabulous. It is in a very quiet neighborhood. The furniture is not the same as in the photos, which was a little disappointing. The owners were very pleasant.We had a wonderful month and would stay here again.

Great location but home needs TLC

Great location close to town and attractions. Mishap with getting our key from the lockbox but lucky to find another. Ant infastation! Both bathrooms remodeled nicely but bugs were in the sky lights. Beds comfortable. Patio furniture needed to be cleaned before use. This home and yard need major clean up. !

Beach Getaway

This property has always been our favorite place to stay for several years and never disappoints. The owner is an outstanding host has everything ready when we arrive so we can get there and just relax 😌 and chill. We drive from a far distance through heavy LA traffic and would do it over and over again because it’s so worth it. We Love ❤️ Morro Bay it’s just beautiful.

rental for high school graduation

Our stay was great. The property had everything that the listing said, it was just a bit dated from the pictures. The location was perfect for what we needed. Close to Morro Bay High School. Downtown is an easy 5 min drive. I would stay here again.

Location couldn't be better

Easy access to Cloisters Park, which in turn has great access to the dogs allowed portion of the beach. The house is well set up to handle pooches, with two very nice grassy areas which are fenced. The fire pit is a nice bonus and the hosts are welcoming enough to keep stuff on hand to get a fire going. Kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans and place settings. Couldn't be happier with the location and set up of the house. We hope to do it again next year.

Restful Stay

The house and yard were amazing. We were all very comfortable in the house, it felt like home. So many activities for my kids to do, from books, games and ping pong! My daughter enjoyed reading books on the patio. The house was so calm and peaceful, perfect to unwind. So glad we found this place and hope to book it again next July!

Lovely stay near the beach

Our family had a great stay for a long weekend. The house was clean, well located (close to the beach) and the outdoor area was really great. The host had nice welcoming touches (bottle of wine, ingredients for smores with roasting sticks). House was clean and well stocked. Very enjoyable stay, highly recommended.

One of the Best home rentals !!!

This is a cozy little place and its close to beach (less than a mile). Lani was a great host, she took care of little things to make our stay great. Our family had a great time there, you might not get a better property around Morro. Finally Lani, thank you for the wine and your hospitality !!!

The home has a great layout. The kitchen has good pots and pans and are not scratched up. Seating areas in the front and back are super! The yard is well maintained. The beds are comfortable for everyone. An excellent Mexican restaurant and a great grocery store are a couple blocks away.

Great family and pet-friendly house ideally located

This home was perfect for our casual, hike- and beach-loving family. We felt right at home here. Well stocked kitchen and plenty of space for two teens, three adults and a small dog. Lots of outdoor areas for the dog to explore too. Hosts where very friendly and communicated well (makes all the difference dealing with a real person vs. a management company).The location is also perfect — close to everything. We recommend Montana de Oro State Park, San Simeon Point hike, Morro Bay Embarcadero, Fiscalini Ranch Reserve, downtown Cambria, the beach boardwalk in Morro Bay (and watching the sunset on the beach there), and walking the long coastline trail along the bluffs just north of Cayucos. Would definitely stay here again.

Quick trip

We stayed here as we prepared to drop pur daughter in Cal Poly. Location was gr8 because we took our doggies. They did enjoy it, but there are a lot of foxtail bushes which are not recommended for dogs to be around. Beds were comfy and restrooms & kitchen were clean. Some spider webs near living room window. Overall, would stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Lani Colhouer

I grew up in the area and love the community. As local business owners we have been enjoying the community we live in for a long time. We are looking forward to sharing the area with you!

Why they chose this property

I grew up in the area and moved away out of high school. Quickly realized what an amazing place the central coast was and moved back. My husband grew up in Fresno and came over to visit a friend in college and never left! We love the area and feel blessed to have a home here.

What makes this property unique

We love how close the home is to the beach, the park, and the market making everything easy and fun! There are two yards...a fenced front yard so kids or dogs can play out front without any worry and a fenced in back yard to put your pup while you go to dinner!
