- "This is a wonderful place to stay. You can walk to the beach and see pelicans, whales, seals, gulls, and several varieties of sandpipers. In town (a short drive away or a long walk along the ocean) you can see Sea Otters and their babies. The room is very comfortable and quiet." - "Wonderfully decorated, spacious, half a block from the beach, and we had everything we needed! It’s a quiet neighborhood overnight and parking on the street directly in front of the rental was great. This was a wonderful location and the hosts were super responsive when we had a couple of questions. We would definitely stay again!"

- "You can trust the all inclusive photos and detailed description of the Cottage and its gardens. They really tell it all. But, if that's not enough - read the numerous reviews left by guests who were totally satisfied by their stay here in Morro Bay. You'd need to be unreasonably critical to find something lacking with the accommodations, the hosts, and the location. A really special place, hosted by special people, in a special area for exploring the outdoors. I hope to return again."

- "Cozy but with a yard, hot tub and grill! Very comfortable!" - "My husband and I stayed at this cottage for a week. It was a wonderful experience. It had everything we needed and then some. Next time I will know I will not have to bring as much as I did. It has a full pantry, spice cabinet, freezer and all the utensils, dishes, pots and pans, and linens you ever need. And it has an amazing tv and sound system. My only suggestion for an improvement would be a quick start guide for the Roku TV system. Having never used such a set up it took sometime to figure it out. There were 5 or 6 remotes and we are not technically savvy. We were there celebrating my 70th birthday and it was wonderful that we could bring all 3 of our critters. We have an 8 pound dog and 2 birds. I will say Barron was very accommodating when I had a scare with one of my birds. It all turned out with a happy ending but he was willing to extend my stay if needed. I am truly thankful for that. The cottage is well furnished and comfortable. While I did not use the hot tub but can see how it would be a major plus. All in all it was a wonderful experience and the cottage was a big reason why. Thank you Barron for putting such thought and effort into making it as comfortable as home is. We will be back to visit your cottage again."

An oasis In the heart of Old Town with beautiful gardens, fountains and birds. Loaded with charm and flooded with light! Built in the 20's, this home has been carefully restored and updated without sacrificing the special esthetic of the period. From the original clear Douglas fir floors, antique light fixtures, wide floor and window moldings to the vintage gas pot bellied stove (fireplace), the large bathroom with soaking tub and pedestal sink. The master bedroom has a queen bed with a black iron headboard, antique oak highboy dresser and vintage chandelier. The second bedroom also features a queen bed with a period headboard and additional vintage touches. The kitchen is sunny and bright with hand painted tiles and windows that look out onto the garden fountain and bird feeders.
And the location couldn't be better! Just one block from downtown shops, restaurants and the vintage Bay Theater. Only 2 blocks from the Embarcadero and the waterfront! Just a short walk to the Morro Bay Aquarium, to rent kayaks or go whale watching. You can even see Morro Rock from the front porch and yard. Sit under the gazebo with morning coffee or a glass of wine, looking out to the bay and listening to the songbirds. This is a truly special place.
- "We stayed here for the weekend of our daughter’s graduation from Cal Poly. Close enough, and yet not in the party zone. Love the vibe of this house, and of Moro Bay in general. We felt like we were just one short walk to everything - restaurants, thrift stores, farmer’s market, and the bay! Great sitting areas in the front and back yards 😎. Great communication with owner/property manager, accommodating and clear instructions." - "Convenient location, great communication with host. Easy checkin. Would stay here again"

- "The house is clean and charming. The views are incredible. It’s fun to view the cormorants, herons, and egrets flying and nesting from the backyard. The sunsets are spectacular. Be aware that it’s a bit rustic and not suitable if you’re looking for a modern house. My only concern was the yard is not fully enclosed so our dogs could not roam off-leash." - "Great!" - "I would rent this again." - "Great location on water within walking distance of town center"

Welcome to the charming seaside town of Morro Bay!
Fog & Stars cottage is a triplex located in the heart of Morro Bay and boasts an incredible view of the sunset, ocean, and the famous Morro Rock. As a guest of Fog & Stars unit 218, you’re just a two-minute stroll from the many colorful and fun establishments along Embarcadero Street and a five-minute drive to the beach. With your close proximity to both water and nearby woodlands, there’s no shortage of things to do. Activities include hiking on more than a dozen scenic trails, biking, kayaking, surfing, fishing, paddle boarding, bird watching, whale watching and of course, cooing at the adorable sea otters and chunky sea lions.
After burning all those calories, you probably will be feeling quite famished. Don't worry! An array of fantastic restaurants are within walking distance of Fog & Stars cottage. Whether it be fresh seafood on Embarcadero street or spicy Thai food downtown, you will never run out of choices. Speaking of downtown, you can stop by the historic Bay Theater for the latest movie, then do some shopping at the quirky vintage shops the area is known for.
Feel like putting on your favorite sweats and staying in for the day? Well, the gel foam memory mattresses in Fog & Stars are perfect for you to luxuriate on and watch your favorite show or movie. There's a TV in every room so no need to fight over the remote. We also offer a variety of games and books both kids and adults can enjoy. If the day is too pretty to stay indoors, step outside onto the spacious, private deck and while you're out there, why not fire up the bbq for the family or enjoy cocktails among friends. If romance is what you're after, go ahead and snuggle up with your partner while taking in the spectacular sunset.
This truly is the perfect place for a family adventure, a friend-cation or a romantic getaway.
- "Accurate, clean, simple. Super easy check in, great communication. It's one unit in a group of units, all redone at some point to update from the old school california bugalows, it's a block from the main walking around area of Morro Bay. Nice view of the bay and sunset, and a little outside area to hang out in. Beds comfy, kitchen works, really no downside." - "Our family of four found Fog and Stars to be well beyond our expectations. Clean, safe, comfortable lodging. Very short walking distance to Embarcadero for food and shopping. Cooked meals and enjoyed the patio with views of Morro Rock and the marina. Perfect location for staging our morning kayak tour. Dedicated parking spot. So much better to enjoy one’s vacation at Fog and Stars than at a crowded, noisy motel. Super Satisfied!"

Enjoy all that Morro Bay has to offer from this recently renovated eco-friendly live/work space featuring everything needed for a quiet retreat by the beach. Enjoy the cool, foggy mornings listening to the seagulls and foghorn with a cup of Coffee in the private courtyard, or cozy up with a book in bed and listen to the ocean waves at night. Find peace to complete your work from the decked-out office area. Whatever your Morro experience is, enjoy it at The Shack!

The space
Enjoy your own entrance and 300sqft courtyard to our private detached guest house, a 1932 garage converted into a modern bedroom with its own private, full bathroom. Plush, luxurious carpet throughout the suite. Bed is a top-of-the-line convertible sofa made by Sealy. Bed is 78" x 60" (Queen size mattress). Super simple to operate and can double as a lounger while you enjoy the theater-like experience of the LG 65” 4K OLED TV with immersive LG Bluetooth sound bar. A space heater will keep you more than comfortable, warm and cozy for the cooler nights and foggy mornings.
The back of the room has been turned into a workspace meant designed for tech workers looking for a change of scenery. Featuring a Samsung 43” ultrawide 32:10 QHD monitor, Logitech c900 1080p webcam and Bose speakers connected to a docking station for you to plug yourself into while day trading meme stocks, analyzing multiple spreadsheets or watching YouTube videos while you tune out the 5th zoom meeting of the day. The live-edge oak desk came from a nearby grove and was made by a local carpenter. Stay comfortable with an ergonomic chair for long periods of work. Insanely fast fiber internet speeds available for the most demanding of workloads (or gaming).
Bathroom has also been renovated and features an open closet area to hang your clothes and store luggage. Kohler fixtures throughout with fresh linens and towels for your stay. If you’ve forgotten anything, check the medicine cabinet! We try to stock all the essentials you may have forgotten.
Check out the retro-inspired fridge stocked with creamers along with a coffee maker and local Coffee to enjoy a cup while enjoying the coastal air, seagulls, and the distant foghorn. Pay close attention, on clear nights the sea lion's bark sometimes carries if you leave the window open. Night times are eerily quiet as you hear the waves crash at high tide against the shore just a half mile away.
Laundry is available within the guest house courtyard area (Green door in the photos). Please know we may use this laundry area often during the daytime hours, (we have two children) but it is a separate exterior entrance. If you'd like to use it, just let us know and we’ll delay so you can wash whatever you need.
You are an easy one-mile walk having your toes in the sands of Morro Strand, a dog friendly beach. Don't miss out on an opportunity to enjoy the beach life from the Shack.
Please be advised that The Shack is frequently utilized as a workspace throughout the week. As such, it features an assortment of artwork and books that have been thoughtfully curated for the enjoyment of all who use the space.
Please note that certain elements of this curation, such as 90s rap, cannabis, or Picasso's analytic cubism phase of art, may not be to everyone's taste. We apologize for any offense caused and wish to assure you that our intention is to imbue this space with the distinct, idiosyncratic character that is emblematic of our coastal lifestyle.
We acknowledge that this aesthetic may not be for everyone, and understand that some individuals may prefer a more neutral atmosphere and highly encourage you to explore other options that may be less eclectic. However, we take pride in being a unique property and remain committed to our guiding principles of providing a clean, comfortable, and quirky environment that offers an unforgettable experience and unique touches that you would not find from a motel.
When you stay with us, you are contributing to helping our family make this nearly century-old home a net-zero carbon neutral smart home . Thank you!
Guest access
You have the cozy courtyard to yourself while staying at the Shack. This is a great area for dogs to catch some sun, enjoy a cup of coffee, and breath some fresh ocean air.
Other things to note
About us:
**We are a family of 4 with 2 small dogs. Our children are young (2 and 3) and you may occasionally hear them during your stay in the common area of the backyard, but they will not have access to the courtyard unless walking through with myself or my wife to access laundry or the paddle board. Our two dogs, an Aussie and Dachshund, may bark if they meet you or your dog, but rest assured, our yard is fenced in and they are more afraid of you than you would be of them and just need to say hello. My wife stays at home raising our children and I work in the cannabis industry.

-Like nearly every VRBO listing, we have Ring security doorbells at the entrances and cameras on the outside of the property at the perimeter, and at the front of the shop and the top deck.
- "We could see the ocean from the yard. Angie and her family have worked very hard to create a backyard space with views that is fun and entertaining for the whole family. The kids loved crossing the bridge, ringing the bell, playing with trucks and tetherball. The hot tub was not over-chlorinated and was a nice end to a long day on the beach. The kitchen was well stocked, though we were mostly in town and at the beach. We had everything we needed. Angie is the sweetest and you can tell she really loves people and hosting. Thanks for sharing and visiting with us! :)"

Peaceful beach cottage in the desirable Morro Heights neighborhood of Morro Bay. Spectacular view of the water, Los Osos hills, and the bay. Backs onto State Park and golf course in forested like setting. The cottage is a picturesque place to relax, drink a glass of local wine while enjoying amazing sunsets. 10 minute walk to 2 restaurants and bars. 5 minutes to hiking in state park, kayaking. 20 minute walk to embarcadero. This is an original 1949 bungalow that we renovated extensively with new plumbing, electrical, windows, bathroom and flooring. The kitchen is the original charmer with single basin sink.
- "We spent the week of Thanksgiving at this charming cottage on the hill up from the beach. We walked or ran down along the Embarcadero and out to the rock every day at least once. The views from the cottage are amazing, and we sat in the sun on the front deck every afternoon, multiple days included BBQ oysters that we picked up from Morro Bay Oyster Company. Though it is small, the space is well laid out and comfortable. The kitchen is well supplied, and the furnishings maximize the space. The bed is really comfortable."

It's a little farther from the beach than we had imagined (from one of the pictures in the listing it looks closer) but it was (as stated in the info) an easy 10 minute walk. We were a little taken aback by the request to strip the beds and sweep the floors -- seemed a bit much since you pay a cleaning fee as well. But all in all it was a nice stay -- and a great launching point for amazing hiking and beachcombing."

This is the UPPER unit of a DUPLEX, thank you for considering us, we appreciate you but, before you book, lets make sure there is an understanding:
*** If you want to come here and be drunk and loud, disrespect and disturb our neighbors, this is NOT the house for you so, please, search for another house.
*** This house is ONLY for booked guests, NOT for their visitors.
*** Due to our family's, friends' and other guests' severe allergies we do not accept ANY pets, whether service/emotional... related or not, so, please, DO NOT ask for exceptions.
Now to the more happier reading.
VRBO is new to us and we're trying to get used to it so thank you ahead of time for your patience. However, we are not new to hosting, we have been Superhost using Air b n b for many years.
If you have any mobility issues or difficulty walking up & down the steps, reconsider booking.
The house is one of the older ones in Morro Bay built in the 1950's. We renovated it to reflect the feel & style of my parents'/grandparents' homes on Corfu Island in Greece.
We are the last house at the end of the street on a cul-de-sac. Hiding up in the hills in a very quiet neighborhood, our house is open, overlooking the Pacific and next to a Eucalyptus grove and hundreds of acres of farm space.
There is a new 4 person hot tub, propane fire pit, 6 decks going up the hill, the top 3 have ocean views as well as another deck off of the family room that faces the ocean with seating and the natural gas bbq. There is another propane fire pit on the top deck with a swing egg chair and 2 large club chairs.
We have a play area for the kids with a slide, rope bridge that connects to a tree house ("The Flybridge") which has a ship's wheel, compass, throttle.... also have corn hole and tether ball.
There is no access to the closets (they are full and locked) but there are dressers and fold down valet hangers in the bedrooms to hang up some of your clothes.
Sorry for the lack of storage space, but the view of the Pacific makes up for it.
-Like most VRBO listings, we, too, have Ring security doorbells at the entrances, cameras on the OUTSIDE of the property at the perimeter, at the front of the shop and the top deck.

Increíble ocean views from the deck and bedroom window! Walk or drive down to a local taco shop for yummy food, or stop by the market to pick up a few things to make a great meal in the fully equipped kitchen! You will love our area with great wildlife (birds, wild turkeys, sea otters and seals), mom and pop’s restaurants and shops. Morro Bay has a small theater, paddle boarding, kayaking and great surfing!
The driveway is steep and guests should park on the street. The unit is also located down approximately 15 stairs. It is NOT wheelchair accessible, nor would it be comfortable for someone who has limited mobility. It’s an awesome little place located in a quiet neighborhood with great ocean views at an affordable price.
- "We had an excellent stay in Morro Bay The weatherman could have cooperated a bit better!! Our place was great, well stocked and very clean. A cozy little place for two" - "What an amazing view! Cute, clean little apartment with everything you need. Amazing view. I stayed for 6 weeks and didn't want to leave! And did I mention THE VIEW?!" - "Lovely downstairs cottage. Clean and comfortable. For those with mobility issues, just know the driveway is steep as well as there are stairs going down to the front door. Parking is across the street. Very safe."
