Cayucos Cottage. Steps to the Best Beach in Cayucos.

I love getting up in the morning pouring myself a cup of coffee and sitting on the front watching the sun rise over the mountain tops and listening to the ocean in the background. It is so peaceful in this wonderful neighborhood. The ocean and in my opinion the best beach in Cayucos is less than 150 yards away from the front door of this perfect beach cottage. Everything you need is here just bring your suitcase and a good book. You are walking distance to all the restaurants, shops and saloons. Walking the the beach at sunset and having a glass of wine is a great way to end another perfect day in Cayucos.

Keywords: Quiet neighborhood in the numbered streets. Walking distance to everything in the beautiful coastal town of Cayucos. Fishing, surfing, boogie board, go fly a kite, take a hike, have a nap on deck, roast marshmellows over a fire on the beach. Best place on the Central Coast to spend a few days or months.

Best week ever!
This week long trip to Cayucos was intended as a refresh and reset for the new year and Melanie's cottage was the perfect place to have those intentions realized. Melanie's home is comfortable, well stocked and comfortable. Everything about the process was easy and stress free, from check-in to check-out. The cottage is steps away from a beautiful beach and a short distance to the cute downtown of Cayucos. The home itself embodies comfort and relaxation. We will be returning again and again!!

Grand Time
We had a wonderful 12 day stay at Melanie's cottage! We found it impeccably clean and well stocked. The kitchen and bathrooms were updated with quality materials and the bed linens were dreamy. We took advantage of the deck on sunny days and found it to be a great reading spot while our dog dried off from a walk on the beach. We felt right at home in this cozy nest for our entire stay. Additionally, the neighbors on the street and those walking by were warm and welcoming and wished us well on our last day. We were sad to leave, but definitely look forward to coming back. We highly recommend this Cayucos gem!

Our Yearly Trip to Cayucos
I feel like I am home when I am enjoying this beach house. Neat, clean, comfortable, and an outdoor seating area to enjoy the weather and relax. We prefer cooking in for dinners and dining out for lunch. Just enough of the kitchen amenities to prepare just about any meal. Close to the beach for our twice daily beach walks. Just right for us!

Everything about this house was amazing. The beds were super comfy, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the proximity to the beach?!? Are you kidding me? It’s a 2 minute walk from the front door to your toes in the sand. We hope to stay here many many more times.

Beach Get Away
Loved the house! Mostly the front patio and fire pit. Used it quite a bit. Friends could stop by and sit out there with us. House had lots of supplies, even though I brought my own stuff not knowing. Shampoos, soaps, ziplocks, foil etc supplied. House had lots and lots of stuff for children if you are bringing them. Very easy, 3 minute walk to beach. If you don't know the area, you have to walk down about 15 steps to get there. About a 12-15 minute walk town which we did a few times. Highly recommend this house. We have are staying there again next summer.

Thank you for a great stay. The home is located in a quiet neighborhood just steps from the beach. Very clean and well equipped. The third room off of the kitchen (utility room) was fine for my son. The pull down Murphy bed had a full size comfortable mattress. Pet friendly. Great communication with host. Would definitely stay here again.

Retirement Getaway
We went to Cayucos for a friend's retirement from teaching. The location of the property is ideal. The beach is right at the end of the street. The house is modernized with beautiful bathrooms and an upgraded kitchen. The area is very sleepy and quiet which is what we wanted. The master bedroom is big with a King size bed and a lovely bathroom with a separate freestanding tub and then a walk in shower. The second bedroom is also nice with a queen size bed and the second bathroom is also updated and nice. The bummer was the third bedroom which I wouldn't really categorize as a bedroom. It's more like a service porch or closet off the kitchen. It only has a murphy bed which we were not expecting. It would be a fine space to put kids in, but we were a little disappointed with three grown adults with one of them having that as a bedroom. There's a big tv with Netflix which was great. The town of Cayucos is close to Morro Bay, Cambria and the wineries off the 46 in Paso Robles making it a convenient spot to visit all those places in the same visit. I would recommend this property but just be aware of that third "bedroom".

A great experience!
The title pretty much says it - my wife and I had a great experience with our dogs at the house and in Cayucos. We’re certainly planning to return and look forward to it. For context, we live in Santa Cruz and just a few blocks away from the beach in a very walkable part of town. And our house is very comfortable and a nice place to be; we’re grateful to live in a beach community. But sometimes you need to get away to relax (and not putter around the house and finish projects). And no way do we want to do that without our dogs. The house is great - super comfortable and well-appointed. It’s actually nicer than the pictures. I wouldn’t want to be there with more than one additional couple and a kid, but it’s perfectly sized for that. If you cook, the kitchen is great, with all the kitchen appliances you’re likely to need. Seating, bedding, linens, bathrooms are all nice / comfortable. The location is nice - quiet and very close to the beach access at 16th. If you’ve not been to Cayucos, it’s a nice and very walkable community. It feels like a much smaller and cleaner Santa Cruz. It’s a 15-ish minute walk to a decent, dog-friendly restaurant. And 20-ish minute walk to good coffee and another 5 to the pier. There’s a handful of dining and breakfast / coffee options. If you’re coming with dogs, there’s nowhere at the house to sensibly or appropriately, uh, take care of business. So know that you’ll need to take a walk around the block when that needs to happen.

Melanie’s beach house was wonderful! We were so pleased to have two king size beds that were very comfortable, two beautiful bathrooms and a lovely kitchen to cook in. Meeting our adult kids in Cayucos was perfect! They love to surf so perfect spot!! We were all very comfortable. We used the sunny front patio often and loved the quick access to the beautiful beach. Love the sweet town of Cayucos and took two awesome hikes, one walking distance from the house up a hill which gave us a great view of the town and ocean and another one very close by car around the reservoir! Location of the house is excellent! Short drive to groceries and Morro Bay! In town for CalPoly graduation and although we went back and forth often it was an easy drive. We also finally toured Hearst Castle and loved it! So much to do and see in the area so the list goes on! But the vibe of Cayucos and the comfort of the house made me keep referring to it as “let’s go home now” at the end of each day! On top of it all, the neighbors were so welcoming! Thank you Melanie for a well stocked home and an excellent experience! Highly recommend your house!

This VRBO is exactly as advertised. Communications with the owner were easy and she responded quickly to questions. The house is less than a block from beach access yet on a quiet side street. Cayucos has quaint little restaurants and you are just down the road from Morrow Bay and and minutes away from San Luis Obispo. We loved it.
