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.

Our family spent three nights at this wonderful place. Very clean house, great location, excellent choice for a retreat into a hidden, peaceful coastal town.

We really enjoyed our stay. Very nice, clean, and easy walk into town and even closer to the beach.

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!

So glad to return to this lovely property - exactly as described and pictured, and you are 90 seconds from a long beautiful beach with views down to Morro Bay! Lovely spaces indoors, well stocked kitchen, and super comfortable indoors and out. Our dog is ready to return, thanks again Melanie!

Cutest cottage just a short walk to the beach. Quiet neighborhood, and easy access to highway. Loved the front patio with fire pit, and all the modern finishes in the house. It had everything we needed for a great getaway!

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.

We had a great time in Cayucos. The house was very clean upon our arrival and it had everything we needed. It was very close to the beach and great hiking trails.
