The property suited our family and was close to what we wanted to do during our stay in Morro Bay. Our host provided us with everything we needed and was very accommodating.

Erin was so helpful with all instructions! Easy to find. The accommodations were perfect. I can see a big family group to fit perfectly too. Clean, well lit, lots of kitchen space and all the items needed were there. Beds were really comfortable and the right place to stay when day visits to south and north. Thank you!

Great location- easy walk to the Embarcadero, restaurants, shops. Quick drive to Cayucos and Cambria. Beds were comfy, quiet area. Close to the Highway, but you couldn’t hear it from inside! Really nice place!

Roomy, pleasant, well-equipped house located close to the exit from highway 1. A five minute walk up the hill takes you to Main St and a view of the rock. Another five minutes walk down to the waterfront area. The house was clean and well-equipped, we had no problems with access. Would stay again.

This place is beautiful! Came here with our adult sons (from NY and Socal) and met other family members (who were in other Vrbos) in this spacious, beautiful beach home. Everything we needed was provided: kitchenware (we baked, we BBQed, and we used the instant pot for soup), linens, and even thoughtful things like moistened makeup wipes, and nightlights in bathrooms. While we didn't need it, there's many children's picture books, building toys and games. Perfect for any kind of family. Its a short walk to downtown or the Rock or shopping/eating although hills are a bit steep on the way there. We'd definitely choose Erin's place again if we found ourselves in Morro Bay!

Our family had a wonderful Thankgiving at Driftwood House. We had everything that we needed and appreciate that Erin included some toys & books for the youngest in our crowd.

We spent a week in Erin's Driftwood house and it worked out great. Our daughter and her family joined us and there was plenty of room for everyone. It's close enough to walk to the Embarcadero but we drove. That first block coming up Beach Street on the way back is just too steep for me and the wife. It's an easy walk to downtown though and the Hungry Fisherman and Carla's Kitchen were within walking distance also. The Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed and was an open flowing floor plan upstairs. There are a lot of stairs and most everything is on the top floor so be aware of that.
I would definately stay here again if we have family with us!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The location and property were absolutely perfect and close to everything. The layout was so open and friendly with plenty of room to move around and still have individual spaces. The master shower was delightful. and communication with the host was top notch. We''ll definitely stay here again.

We have stayed here before. It is very roomy for large family gatherings. Lots of beds to sleep. All toiletries supplied. It does have alot of stairs for those that have knee or hip issues. We all had a great time.

We have stayed in Morro Bay at least once a year for over 40 years while traveling on family vacations. This house was in a great location with tons of space and all the needed amenities. The kitchen had all the basics included and so did all the other common areas and restrooms. The house was great!
4.8
We our super grateful to our host for accommodating us when we had to change our schedule. The house is perfect for families with children. So many books, toys and puzzles that kept them busy when we were not out and about Morro Bay. The location is in walking distance of everything on the Embarcadero. We loved every minute of our stay.

Comfortable and convenient place
We enjoyed our stay here in Morro Bay. We were visiting the area for a wedding. The house was comfortable for our needs and especially great for our 6 year old granddaughter. There were LOTS of books and toys at the house. The kitchen was well stocked for our needs. The location was very convenient Just a heads up for those bothered by street noise, we did have a
moderate street noise, especially when the windows were open. We would definitely stay here again.

My mom, sister and I had a lovely week in Morro Bay. The condo worked great for us and was an easy walk to the water. You can really park your car and not need it again! It was very easy to get into and Erin was always so nice to deal with!

We really enjoyed our 3 weeks at this townhouse, close to waterfront! We recommend this large condo: great kitchen, large Master Suite, two extra bedrooms and 2nd bath on lower floor. Laundry, much appreciated. Comfortable beds and a garage for 2 cars. Erin, the owner, is quick to respond, when you have questions. Would rent this house again in a heartbeat. Check-in and check-out are easy.

We loved the child friendly atmosphere with so many toys and games. The Grandsons were ecstatic. The home is beautiful. Spotless and attractively decorated.
The only negative was lack of instruction using the TV. It took 3 adults to jiggle knobs and outlets in order to achieve success. We phoned the owner twice requesting assistance but never heard from her. Written instructions regarding the TV, washing machine and dishwasher are always appreciated in an unfamiliar home occupied by technically handicapped elders!
One additional suggestion, is a WD40 spray on the door leading to the deck. The door was different to open.
Other than that, we had a wonderful time in Morro Bay and would certainly recommend The Driftwood Home.

The house was the perfect place for our Christmas celebration. We are close to a park and right next to the Embarcadero and the lovely quaint downtown Morro Bay California. The house has everything that you may need to cook a Christmas feast and even to store the leftovers. The beds were all very comfortable, and the linens and towels were clean. The home was immaculate, and it was completely pristine when we first arrived. What a wonderful trip!

This house was exactly what we were looking for. The 2 lower level bedrooms and bathroom and the upstairs master with king bed and bunkbeds worked great! The master shower is huge! The home offered just enough privacy and space to be together. The kitchen was large and well equipped. The grand dining table was perfect for the early thanksgiving meal we had with our family. The home is a short 10 minute drive to Cal Poly and a 10 minute walk to the bay and shops. The garage is huge and fits 2 vehicles comfortably. Additional parking on Surf St. is close enough and easy to find. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and will definitely be returning!

Pros: Spacious rooms, clean bathrooms , great access, quiet neighbors, ideal garage parking, downstairs beds comfortably firm. Better beds than other rentals.
Cons: only view is of the red light & intersection. Noisy trucks most all day, except after maybe 8:00 PM. An ottoman in front of the sofas might be a nice add. Stair carpet needs to be steam cleaned before too long.
