Bayview Getaway
We reached out to Christine last minute because we had a problem with our other stay booked with another host. She was quick to respond and super helpful. She was able to get the place turned over in an hour for us. When we arrived it was spotless, smelled lovely and had everything I could have needed. I would recommend and would stay again.

Coastal Retreat/King Beds/Big Sur Cabin/EV Charger
Enjoyed our stay thoroughly. Loved the patio

Baywood Park Garden Cottage
This was my third time staying with Susan and Greg, and every stay at their cottage in Baywood has been a blast. It’s peaceful, quiet, and Susan and Greg are wonderful hosts. The cottage is in the perfect spot to be able to walk to anything in Baywood Park (be sure to check out High Street Deli and Noi’s 2nd Street Cafe!). I’ve made it a point to stay here every time I’m down in the area for a longer trip, I can’t recommend it enough.

Harbor House in Morro Bay
The place was very comfortable and warm. It was the perfect place to stay at during our visit. It was close to the beach where we planned to go. Had grocery stores close by to shop for food. Rooms were nice and spacious. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would love to do it again.

Oceanside, Restored, Vintage, Retreat in Cambria
I love the location. I love the main home and the apartment with outside entrance. I love the garden backyard and the privacy. I always stay here when I am in Cambria. Nick is a 5 star host.

We had such a good time at Maria's home! This was our second time staying here and we absolutely will be coming back again. The house is perfect in every way.

Great little beach house. County License# 6012116
Here’s a polished and friendly review you can use for Airbnb: We loved our stay at Thomas’s place! The location is perfect—walking distance to great bars, restaurants, and just steps from the water. The space itself is super cute, private, and comfortable. Thomas has two cats and a dog, all incredibly friendly, but the real star of the show is his co-host, Sylvester the cat. He’s got a big personality and was happy to hang out with us as much as we let him. If you’re a cat lover, you’ll adore him. The house was stocked with a few thoughtful provisions, and we especially appreciated the ice cream bars—such a nice touch. Hopefully Thomas’s place is available the next time we’re in Los Osos. We’d absolutely stay here again!

Cute Cambria Cottage~Ocean Views and Dog Friendly!
Karen’s cottage was perfect! Karen was so gracious and a pleasure. My husband, myself and our two pups enjoyed walking to Moonstone Beach and it’s adjoining dog friendly park as well as being right there near restaurants and shops. The cottage had everything we needed for us as well as our pups. And the deck and the views from inside and out were perfect. We’ll be back.

Cayucos getaway with breathtaking ocean views
Wonderfully relaxing stay! The house was beautiful and you can't beat those views! Waking up every morning to view the beautiful surroundings and ocean was heavenly. Comfortable beds and linens! Thank you. We love Cayucos and this was the perfect place for our family.

(060) Modern Myster-Sea
Enjoyed every moment of our girls weekend getaway! Loved the view to the beach and watching the waves come in and people pass by…we parked our car in the garage and didn’t move it all weekend. We walked to the restaurants located steps away from the unit and enjoyed every bite we had - calamari and chowder at Schooners, waffles and breakfast tacos at Hidden Kitchen, and delicious fresh donuts and fritters from Surf Rat. We meandered through the antique stores and enjoyed a good night’s sleep at the end of each day in the comfy beds. Can’t wait to go back!

Romantic Escape for 2: just two blocks to beach.
This place is a gem - beautifully decorated, with thoughtful touches throughout. Clean, fresh, and calming. A perfect place for a getaway!

Cayucos Beach Getaway w/ Ocean Views!
Karen was a fantastic organized proactive host and her house was a pleasure to stay in! Would happily go back

Cozy Casita by the Sea
My wife and I had a great time at this Airbnb. It is walking distance to the beach where you can collect sand dollars. It was a peaceful neighborhood and served as a great launching pad for day trips to Paso and Pismo. Would highly recommend and would stay here again.

Cayucos in the Heart of Old Town
Jacob is proactive, sending instructions on access and amenities before arrival. The apartment is clean and modern and spacious, an easy walk to town and the beach.

Loft in Barn on Olive Farm
We had a lovely stay at this little barn to the point we didn’t want to leave! Chris and Will were very kind to us and even gave us little bottles of their olive oil and balsamic vinegar which is so sweet. We hope to find this listing in the future when we explore more of the SLO/Pismo/Morro Bay Area! Thanks again!

Charming Seaside Retreat by Cayucos Pier
Comfortable and charming - cupboards stocked, plenty of seating, outstanding views. Patio slider kept wide open to hear the ocean waves crashing…. Perfection! Terri was responsive and engaged with our trip planning needs.

Your guide to Cayucos
Introduction
Two distinctly Californian personalities collide in Cayucos, a sleepy surf town with a Western vibe. Plunked on the lip of scenic Estero Bay, Cayucos is ringed by grassy bluffs that lead right up to the ocean. The town, which is home to about 3,000 residents, boasts a rustic downtown that looks like a Western movie set, with antique shops, low-slung wooden buildings appointed with roomy porches, and Old Cayucos Tavern, a saloon built in 1906 where you can still sit down to a poker game every Friday and Saturday night. Ringed by bolder-name locales like Pismo Beach and Cambria, Cayucos is a Central Coast getaway for those hoping to explore the wonders of San Luis Obispo County from an under-the-radar gem.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Cayucos
The Central Coast experiences a Mediterranean climate common to northern California. If you’re staying in one of the area’s vacation rentals from July through November, expect warm and sunny days — with the hottest temperatures in August and September — and cooler days in the 60s Fahrenheit during the rest of the year. It often gets even cooler, especially at night, so don’t skimp on layers. You will probably need them.
Top things to do in Cayucos
Cayucos State Beach
Beautiful Cayucos State Beach stretches for 16 acres along the Pacific and offers white sand, coastal trails, and tide pools teeming with critters like sea anemone, hermit crabs, and mussels. Go for a swim, dip your toes in the lapping waves, or try surfing — you can buy lessons and rent gear in town. It’s nearly required that you wander the length of the circa-1872 pier, where you will be rewarded at the end with a dolphin statue and incredible views. At night the pier is lit for fishing. This panoramic beach has an edge-of-the-world feel, but isn’t short on amenities: Beach-goers will find picnic tables, bathrooms, outdoor showers, and shoreside restaurants.
Estero Bluffs State Park
Windswept Estero Bluffs State Park offers dramatic coastal views to those who hike the expansive grasslands perched above the shore. The four-mile Estero Bluffs Trail is one of the best ways to experience this 353 acres of protected land, taking you past rocky coastline, tidal pools, and wetlands. If you’re lucky, you’ll spot local wildlife along the way, including salamanders, snowy plovers, otters, seals, and even gray whales, which migrate past the shoreline December through March. You’re also likely to spot Morro Rock in the distance, a distinctive rock that rises 576 feet above the ocean waters and is a bird sanctuary for species like peregrine falcon.
Self-Guided Mural Tour
A fun way to get to know the small but colorful Cayucos downtown is to go on a self-guided mural walk. Plotted out by the Cayucos Mural Society, the route is available online. Several of the nine highlighted murals celebrate the town’s Western heritage, so expect cowboys, stage coaches, and bonnets. Two are located inside Old Cayucos Tavern, and no one would blame you if you took a minute to cool your heels at the local watering hole.
