Recent Cayucos guest reviews

We enjoyed cooking Thanksgiving dinner in the large kitchen and appreciated the extra items that were purchased for us. Nice touch! The view is spectacular and enjoyable from inside or outside on the large deck. Having direct beach access was a dream and watching the water and all the people on the beach was enjoyable. Importantly, the beds were comfortable! We walked to town easily. Vacasa's service was a notch above. Really impressive. We would stay here again for sure and highly recommend this property to others.

The kitchen, floors, bed & bath linens were clean & fresh. We appreciated the turkey & beverage kits.

We spent a whole week over Thanksgiving at this home and had a lovely time. The view from the kitchen/dining/living room and deck is unbeatable - watching the tide, the shorebirds, and otters from the comfort of the home was so relaxing! The home had enough space for 6 of us (4 adults, 2 teenagers) to cook, work from home, play boardgames. And if you need more space, you can always go for a long walk on the beach! The kitchen is nearly fully stocked - we cooked all of our meals, including a Thanksgiving feast , at home. Of course if you need fancy appliances (mixer etc.) or knives, you should bring that from home. We had read about the stiff couch in the reviews, but my mother-in-law appreciated the ease of getting up and down, so her chosen spot was on the couch! We were there on an especially cold week and yes, the back rooms were cold - bring cozy pajamas! The town of Cayucos is small, but has all the basics. A large grocery store is only 10 minutes away towards Morro Bay (Spencer's Fresh Foods). We highly recommend this home and we will be back!

Located just off of Highway 1, and equidistant from San Francisco and Los Angeles, this small town with a big beach is more than just the perfect stopover.

And, our Cayucos vacation rentals will put you in the center of it all.

Things to do in Cayucos, CA

Located between Morro Bay and Cambria, the rich environment of Cayucos means there are tons of opportunities for outdoor recreation, especially in and around Cayucos State Beach. Fishing off the open portions of the legendary pier is a treat. There are also plenty of touring and boat options for deep sea and kayak fishing. Biking, horseback riding, golfing...even skating in one of the four nearby skate parks, are all popular activities.

Both expert and newbie hikers will love the rugged terrain available for exploring here. Montaña de Oro State Park, with its infamous 661-foot volcanic peak named Black Hill, offers both easy and challenging routes. The California Coastal Trail and the grasslands of the Estero Bluffs also provide lush and rugged paths that dip in and out of ravines, weaving through some of the most bountiful land that California has to offer.
 
With its legendary fishing comes fantastic local restaurants! Spots like the Schooner's Wharf offer indoor and outdoor dining by the sea (though you'll feel like you are sailing away on the sea)! Foodies will love the Historic Cass House Inn and Restaurant, which prepares its award-winning dishes with all locally sourced ingredients. Of course, there are plenty of places to score dreamy seafood chowder and other delicacies of the sea. Wine lovers will want to be sure to book a tour of the peerless Central Coast wineries. Be sure to bring a bottle back to your Cayucos rental home!

Day trips from Cayucos, CA

Cayucos is in the middle of a cornucopia of things to do on the Central Coast! In addition to being halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, it is within a day's drive from many small towns and attractions. The Piedras Blancas Rookery on Highway 1 is home to elephant seals and a total of 15,000 marine animals. Cayucos is only about 20 miles from Hearst Castle in San Simeon. William Randolph Hearst's former estate is one of the only "castles" in the United States and is now a historical monument offering daily tours that often include a ticket to a movie about the history of the estate, to be viewed at the Hearst Castle Theater. 

San Luis Obispo County boasts with many parks, campgrounds, a Monarch butterfly grove, and many other charming small towns. Cayucos is only an 18-mile drive from the "happiest town in America," San Luis Obispo, which features the eccentrically gorgeous Madonna Inn. Cayucos is also only 30 miles from Pismo Beach, and 33 miles from Grover Beach, both of which offer wonderful recreation opportunities.
