The GREEN COTTAGE, een romantisch uitstapje aan het water voor twee, op Morro Bay

We loved hosting these guests! Their communications were fun, thoughtful. They asked great questions and they were our favorite kind of guests -- neat and tidy. They left the Cottage as they found it, spotless. Thank you Noelle! Please visit again soon! Pandora & Sioux

Thank you Christina! We are so pleased you stayed with us and hope you will return. Our goal is to make the cottage as comfortable and cozy as possible and providing spices, herbs, fruit, yogurts, freshly ground coffee, etc. is just part of our commitment to our guests. Please plan to return in 2026. Happy new year!

This guest was probably one of the best communicators we've had. I enjoyed the correspondence prior to their visit. We are so pleased they enjoyed themselves and found the time to enjoy the quiet. We look forward to their next return.

Our commitment to our guests is to far exceed their expectations. We do everything we can to ensure that happens. So many of our guests recognize this promise they return every year, sometimes twice a year. We like that because we get to know them, what they like, and what might intrigue them when they visit -- then we can make recommendations for places to explore and great little restaurants that delight, and are only known by locals. We love guests who engage in a pre-visit dialog, that way we can send them a list of our favorite restaurants and places to investigate. Annemarie, thank you for your visit. Please return!

Thank you Sandy. We are delighted you have a wonderful time. The weather certainly cooperated for you! We thank you for taking such wonderful care of the Cottage and hope you will return soon. Be well.

Thank you Steve! We are very pleased you enjoyed your stay. That's high praise from someone who owns their own vacation rental. You know what it is all about and how much effort it takes to do a good job. Our goal is to wildly exceed our guests' expectations with comfort, privacy and spotless perfection. Thank you for taking such lovely care of her. Yes, we think of her as a she. We would really love to have you back next time you are in our part of the state. Be well. Happy Thanksgiving.

We love our guests, but especially those who are curious about our area and want information about things to do, places to go and our favorite restaurants. Loving to eat ourselves, we enjoy providing suggestions to our guests based upon their criteria. We think the central California coastal area is indeed "the Third Kingdom" as the National Geographic once called us: so many open spaces to explore in the 3300 square miles of San Luis Obispo County: trails, secret hideaways, 100 miles of beaches, and so much more. We hope you return soon! -- the Green Cottage

This couple was fabulous, great communicators and were very appreciative of suggestions of what to see and where to visit in our area. Loved hosting them!

We LOVE our return guests! We get to know them, and know what they like and interests them. Then we can refer them to events and activities that might intrigue and inspire them. This guest has visited many, many times over the years. We are delighted she finds the Green Cottage her, "happy place" and calls it, "heaven." She should know.

We love guests who tell us something about themselves, that way we can make recommendations about things we think they might like to see or do. Sometimes their personality and sense of humor come through their words then it's fun to be a bit playful. So many of our guests return year after year and it all starts with the communications before they ever arrive. So whether you are going to stay with us or another vacation rental tell your hosts about you. What do you like? What interests you? Do you have a passion for mystery, history, art, hidden secret beach coves, or old ruins, or forgotten barns that haven't been used in 100 years? Or if you are a photographer and would love to see a slice of local history, tell your host. They just might know a Hearst and get you invited to a round up and branding; or to a grape harvest on one of the 300 local wineries. Hosts are there to be your guides. We know our areas and we want to help and it's fun to help! Talk to us. Lisa told us it was their 1st wedding anniversary. How romantic. Of course "bubbles" were going to be in the refrigerator for them! They were planning on going to one of our favorite wineries, obviously they'd done some research and have good taste! We look forward to their next visit! Thank you for spending your 1st anniversary with us. May you have many, many more happy anniversaries! We wish you health, prosperity and love, and most of all the time to enjoy them! Be well! Pandora & the Green Cottage

We LOVED, loved, loved these guests. Super neat, very interesting, very responsive and very appreciative. Our favorite kinds of guests. We hope they visit again soon -- but book now for the future, we're nearly booked solid until next August. Be well. And, thank you again for staying with us.

We love our return guests. It does say a lot about the Cottage, but even more about the guests who love the quiet and the surrounding nature. We get to know what our return guests' like and can suggest cool things for them to do or see when they're here. Sioux (our Cottage Keeper) and I work hard to create a perfect welcoming atmosphere, and as long as the roses are in bloom, the fresh flowers do come from our garden. The views, well they go on forever.

What a wonderful couple! And, high praise from them since they own a vacation rental on the other coast. The were excellent communicators, fun, interested in the area and appreciative of the bird displays. They also were excellent guests and left the Green Cottage spotless. We would love to host them again!

We love our return guests! They love the Green Cottage as much as we do. Once we get to know what they like: the kinds of foods they love, whether they are hikers or bikers, or art gallery visitors, we can make suggestions that might intrigue and entertain them. For the history buff, we have Hearst Castle of course, but we also have the Pozo Saloon where you can experience California as it was in the 1800s. It is also one of the finest and most authentic examples of how the west used to be. With its rustic, cozy interior and surrounding countryside, the Pozo Saloon continues to offer locals and the curious traveler the hospitality and frontier friendliness of a bygone day. Sundays they usually have live music and the food is great. Come see why so many of our guests return again and again.

Randy is a photographer but this area is so filled with beautiful places it's hard to narrow photo opportunities down to just a few places and have the perfect light. I enjoyed pointing him to my favorite photo sites, but there are so many. He'll just have to return and stay longer. It was fun to talk with him. There have been many photographers who have stayed at the Cottage, several famous ones. It's always interesting to hear about their approach and what they shoot with. We have such beautiful golden light, and lots to see and do between those times. If you love beautiful, unique places, the Central Coast is the place to visit.

We love the way you wrote about the Green Cottage using wonderfully descriptive words, that spelled GREEN COTTAGE! How very clever. I'd like to claim that the Cottage brings out the artistic and creative sides in our guests, but I think it's the other way around. I think artistic and creative people seek the Cottage for its peace, quiet and naturally restorative powers. Thank you for staying and leaving your list of nice words!

We love it when our guests celebrate special occasions at the Cottage. This couple didn't tell us, so we weren't able to surprise them with a fabulous bottle of local wine. Next time! The Cottage is romantic, is very, very private, quiet, peaceful and the bay entertains our guests with changing tides, colors, birds and sunrises and sunsets. A perfect spot to celebrate!

The is one of our "champion guests!" She has visited for years and books a year in advance for 3-4 trips each year. It is so nice to know the Green Cottage provides the peace, quiet, privacy and calm that people are seeking. It says a lot about the Green Cottage, and even more about our guests.

We have been guests in other VRBOs and have developed a long list of all the things that need to be in a rental to make it comfortable, convenient and accommodating to a guest. So, that's why we have several sets of dishes, wine glasses (champagne flutes and martini glasses too), sharp knives (and lots of them) and enough pots and pans to cook a Thanksgiving dinner for 12. Since we often don't know our guests we want to ensure everything they could want or need is in the Cottage, waiting for them. And, we're right around the corner if they need anything that we might not have thought of. Come see why we have over 150 five-star reviews. We take making our guests comfortable and happy, very seriously.
