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.

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!

Perfect Beach Getaway!
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.

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".

Like Home!
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!

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.

Cozy Beach Cottage Perfect for a Family Beach Vacation!!!
We recently returned from an amazing Spring Break at this Cayucos Beach Cottage! And what a vacation it was. Perfect in every way. We have two small children (ages 4 and 2) and this could not have been more ideal. The kids were in heaven as were we! For the first time I don't feel like I need a vacation, from our vacation :) The cottage is clean, nicely decorated, and cozy. It is obviously well loved and very well maintained. You have everything you need - from a washer/dryer, to a fire pit to an extra leash for your lucky pet! There is nothing better than sitting on the front patio with a glass of wine as the sun goes down….or to make s'mores in the back yard before bed. This place has it all! Just steps from the beach, we were able to go as often, and as long or short as we wanted to - without the hassle of packing up a car and feeling the need to remember everything under the sun. Which is a parental dream. If we forgot something, one of us just ran back and grabbed it. There is plenty to do in and around Cayucos aside from playing on a beach (even with little ones in tow) - we loved going on short day trip to see the Elephant Seals, Hearst Castle, Morro Bay (oysters, otters, Salt Water Taffy, parks for the little ones…). The fish tacos by the Pier in Cayucos are to die for - writing this review makes my mouth water just thinking about them. The area is safe and child friendly - what more could one ask for on a family holiday?! We have fallen in love with Cayucos and plan on going next Spring Break as well. And there is no cottage we would rather stay in than this one. It already feels like a second home - without the headaches of being a second home owner :)

We enjoyed our stay here. The kitchen was w=easy to use and after long days exploring the parks, waterfalls and natural beauty of the area, we made dinner at the house twice. The home is clean and situated in a quiet neighborhood within easy walking distance to the beach.

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!

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.
