For entertainment, there is a 42" TV with satellite and a DVD player. There is a collection of DVDs and books as well as board games for guest use. The beautifully renovated kitchen is open to the rest of the home and features sile stone counters, stainless appliances, and a large island with two barstools.

Great location & amenities
Location of this home is great for those who want to spend time on the central coast. We were able to explore beaches, state parks and little towns up the coast. Lots of room and amenities for us as couple with pets, but could see this as a great summer stay for a larger family. A bit overboard on the amount of communication from property management company. Enjoyed our stay.

Enjoyed our stay
We enjoyed our stay with easy access to the heart of Morro Bay and surrounding area. We had five adults and two small children. The house was clean and communication was easy. My only recommendation is to bring extra hand soap, detergent, and trash bags, particularly if you plan to stay more than 3 days and your stay falls on a Thursday when trash is collected.

rather frustrating experience with property management
the location is just fine, no issues there. the texting with property mgmt had the potential to be a great way to communicate, but it quickly dissolved into frustration, when we couldn't get a repair guy to come out and fix a broken bathroom door handle. you could get in, but couldn't get out hardly at all. we had talked to (per my estimate) 3 different people via text, and it seemed i had to keep repeating the same info each time. we got so frustrated i told them to just forget it, as it was ruining our experience in Morro Bay. if something big like this comes up in a home, the expectation is there to be a timely resolution. and they just failed to meet that expectation. the home itself is rather aged, which seems to be typical of most places in Morro Bay. also, when i asked for a couple of more trash bags, (since we had a longer stay of 7 nights) they gave me a long winded explanation before essentially saying no we wont do that for you. this was the straw that broke the camel's back. this was a simple ask, and they couldn't even meet that expectation. i think i would not stay here again, so i wouldn't have to deal with this property mgmt company again. good luck to all those who stay here in the future.

Central Coast Base
This place was perfect for our two small families and dogs! Comfortable beds, a well-stocked kitchen, and a spacious living room pretty much gave us everything we needed so we could travel to various locations with no trouble at all. We had a couple of questions, and they were answered quickly and to our satisfaction. We highly recommend this location!

Perfect property for our family get away
We really enjoyed this property. It was perfect for our family. Our teens enjoyed the bunk room and my elderly parents were able to manage the stairs. The views are great. I only wish the deck had been a little bigger- and I think it should be redone soon. That would be a great upgrade for the property. Everything was super clean and we’ve already booked it for next year!

Morro Bay Visit
The house had everything we needed to fully enjoy our visit to Morro Bay and the Central California Coast. The fully stocked kitchen allowed us to cook some meals at the house. There was plenty of space in the living room to allow us to spread out. The house was an excellent value.

Great place close to everything
We loved staying at this house. It was clean, the neighborhood was quiet and safe and it had a great view of Morro Bay. The neighborhood is not very walkable since it's on a hill and there is no sidewalk, but it is a 5 minute drive from the main points of interests in Morro Bay and a 15-20 minute drive to SLO. It has everything that you need for a comfortable stay. My favorite was the kid's room, my toddler loved the decor and to be able to watch movies in the room. Would love to stay there again another time!

Very nice property for quiet stay with dogs. Just right size and location with a great view of the Rock and ocean. Very close to dog friendly beach also. But be warned, even though the listing says late check out CAN be available, we were told by the property managers representative that the owners do NOT allow late check out.
