Walk to the Bay, downtown and Embarcadero. You will enjoy this perfect escape in our totally updated coastal cottage. Nestled in the quiet, historic Morro Heights you can escape from the hustle bustle of city life. You’ll hear very little traffic or neighborhood noise because you are tucked away behind our main house in the secluded setting of Morro Heights. The drought tolerant yard offers ample seating for your early morning coffee or evening Happy Hour. Fresh herbs & veggies are planted near the walkways to add to your meals.

Inside you’ll quickly see the fresh and totally updated home. It is so incredibly cute, clean and well-decorated in shabby-chic/coastal décor. Both bedrooms are comfortable and cozy. Master has a Queen bed, master bath/shower and 2nd bedroom has a double bed. 1/2 bath in hallway off LR. Huge closets in each to store clothes and gear. The comfy living room is inviting to kick back, open up the windows and feel the breeze. There’s a nice shower/tub with great water pressure. We offer verified high speed internet, Roku TV with cable, plenty of books and games if you choose to stay in. The fully equipped new kitchen has granite counters and appliances.

You can pretty much take off on foot anytime day or evenings from 'The Cottage'. We are on the ‘water’ side of Hwy 1, so easy access to all. Groceries, library, downtown, Farmers Market, Top Dog or Scout Coffee are all just a few blocks. Get your retail therapy taken care of too!

Daytime, enjoy boogie boarding or surfing North of the Rock, taking Paddle Board or sailing lessons in the bay, watching marine life and don’t miss the otters! When you’re finished head up to our favorite spot, Dockside Too, on the fishing docks for all types of fish, wine or beer and live music every day.

Evenings, stroll 7 blocks to the Embarcadero for Happy Hour fish tacos at Dutchman's, or take a dinner cruise.

Visit the natural bird sanctuary, the natural history museum and Morro Bay Natural estuary and go birding. Take a stroll; hike Black Hill, Morro Dunes trails or Montana de Oro.

Check out the new pedestrian bike bridge that will take you to the North end of Morro Bay or head on out to Morro Rock for a great morning walk. We offer plenty of space for your bikes, surfboards and gear plus a hot outdoor shower to rinse off the sand.

When it’s time to turn in, leave your windows open and listen to the surf, barking seals and foghorns – can’t beat that!

14 day maximum day stays - or contact us!

Lovely Cottage in Morro Bay

I stayed here for 4 nights with my partner and our 4 month old baby. Diane and Rich are excellent hosts. The cottage was great and it had everything we needed. It's also within walking distance of everything in Morro Bay. We would love to stay here again next time and would highly recommend it to anyone staying in this area.

About the host

Hosted by Dianne & Rich Buquet

We are retired from San Diego and built our new home in Morro Bay. The Cottage sits behind our home and is secluded from the street. We love having visitors stay and give them complete privacy but are here if you need us. We love to hike, kayak, fish, bike, and watch sunsets from our deck. Rich plays guitar and sings 60's and 70's rock at many local wine bars.

Why they chose this property

Morro Bay is the best place ever.....we chose it for retirement because it beat out every other California coastal town we looked at. We walk through the Embarcadero and out to Morro Rock almost every day from our home/The Cottage. This super friendly town, has the best restaurants, happy hours and activities in the harbor. Although we are close to downtown, our street is in a quiet neighborhood. The Cottage is tucked behind our main house giving our guests maximum privacy and a quiet peaceful garden to retreat to after a day of exploring the area. There are always herbs and veggies growing amongst the flowers.

What makes this property unique

The Unique History of this Cottage:

Regardless if you are either a military history buff or a 60's and 70's Rock and Roller you will enjoy the rich history of this quaint 800 sq ft Cottage. Morro Bay was once the site of naval training, in part for the D-Day invasion. Imagine the conversations between officers as they readied for battle in this historical WW II officers' barracks that was later converted to a home for one of Morro Bay's oldest business couples and their family.

Now fast forward to the mid 60's. Two sons raised in this cottage were very active in the Rock and roll scene. Members of Spanky and Our Gang, the Turtles, the Byrds, and more spent time here as they gigged their way between Los Angeles and San Francisco. If the walls could sing you would hear them swapping songs and working on future hits.
