When I was able to buy a rental property, I considered where else I might want to live. It doesn't get better than Cayucos: best weather of all the coastline in San Luis Obispo County, the most hours of sunshine, the most moderate temperature and the breeze is refreshing not challenging. The town of Cayucos is the last of the classic beach towns with friendly farmers and ranchers and a great stability in family life. At the time is was a hidden gem; recently discovered and promoted by Sunset Magazine.
The property offered an existing Vacation Rental license which is hard to come by. Its unique design with a full family home of 1750+ square foot upstairs and a 600 square foot apartment downstairs created an ideal arrangement to "have my cake and eat it too". The beach access is fabulous either by crossing the street at the light or the locals route through the creek underpass at the end of the driveway. Since dogs and horses are allowed on the beach, it could not have been more perfect for my use. The abundance of parking was also appealing.
The bus stop is just as easily accessed as I planned ahead for those years when driving was impractical. Located close to both Morro Bay and Cayucos meant my every need to could be met. The colleges insure that a culture of personal and professional growth was vibrant as well as enriching cultural experiences by both colleges.
The property ideally provides access to some of the best experiences the County has to offer. Craft breweries and premier wine tasting experiences await just 10 miles west after the scenic Old Creek Road drive. A romantic beach horseback ride can be arranged at either Cayucos or Morro State Beaches. Surfing, wind-surfing, paddle boarding, hang-gliding are all just steps away as well as surf fishing. Whale watching and deep sea fishing is less than 5 miles away. State Parks, hiking trails, Hearst Castle, San Luis Obispo Farmers Market and so much more are all 25 miles or less.
