Bayview Getaway

KyleRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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.

Baywood Park Garden Cottage

CodyRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
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.

Cozy stylish Cambria home ocean view: 1block2ocean

JohnRating, 5 stars6 days ago
Maria is a fantastic host. She communicates all necessary information to you and if you have any questions, she follows up very quickly. Her home was immaculate and has everything you need for a pleasant stay. If you want to cook, everything you need is there to prepare a meal, detailed instructions on use of the tv, bed very comfortable, plenty of books and games and a great view of the ocean. Beautiful hiking at Fiscalini Preserve just a two minute walk away. Overall just a great home and she takes pride in keeping it immaculate. Can’t wait to stay again.

Great little beach house. County License# 6012116

KelleyRating, 5 stars4 days ago
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!

(060) Modern Myster-Sea

AngelaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
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!

Cozy Casita by the Sea

JonRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
What a treat to stay with Mark! Great property in a fantastic location. Moreso peaceful and private than walkable, but only a short drive or bike ride to anything needed. Very clean and nice space with everything we needed. Getting into the property had us paused slightly as there weren’t specific instructions, but it was easy to figure out. Mark was very responsive and friendly. We feel lucky to have found some availability for this property.

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.
