Three of us stayed in this cottage and it worked out really well. The host was able to accommodate a special need of mine, which was great.
Walking distance to downtown Morro Bay and the Embarcadero. It was a short drive to San Luis Obispo and Cayucos for additional adventuring. We watched the sunset from Morro Strand Beach. A very pleasant weekend.

We had such a lovely time in Dianne and Rich's Cottage. Downtown Morro Bay is just a few blocks away and it was a great jumping off point for our explorations up and down the coast.
The cottage was very clean and has a wonderful kitchen, comfortable beds and was very quiet at night. Dianne and Rich had wonderful recommendations of places to explore and we definitely used the binder of recommendations in the cottage as well.

This place was in a great location and was a charming bungalow. My friend and I stayed the weekend and walked down to Morro Bay’s waterfront every day. The hosts were very accommodating, with everything you would ever need. I definitely recommend this place!

We really enjoyed our stay - the home was perfect with all the right touches. I especially loved that there was coffee with all the fixings and a few little snacks for us to nibble on. :) The location is an easy walking distance to downtown. I was a bit nervous backing into the driveway the first time, but once I got the hang of it, it was fine. The garden in front is beautiful and it was very quiet and peaceful. I was moving my daughter into Cal Poly for her freshman year - it was an easy 15 min drive to campus but nice to be a bit away from the craziness of downtown with the influx of families for freshman move-in.

This is probably the best VRBO we have ever stayed at. There’s a beautiful garden right out front. The owner was super friendly and had posted all sorts of info on where to go and what to do. Inside it is decorated nicely and well taken care of. They even left little vases of fresh cut flowers for us! I’m seriously so impressed.

This was our first time staying at this location. We normally stay at another house but decided to try something different. This cottage was just right for me and my husband. It was very clean and just had everything that we needed. We will stay there again.

Rich and Dianne are wonderful hosts and their cottage is simply adorable! It is a great location for Morro Bay. You can easily walk to town (even with young children). The space is very comfortable with lots of natural light and you can even hear the sea lions with the windows open!!
We were in town for the half ironman and they generously offered alternative spaces for me to store my bike if I needed. They also were so very pleasant to chat with about the local area as well as their beautiful garden. My son even chatted with them asking about the different herbs and lettuce growing. They talked to my daughters about different flowers that were growing in their yard. Rich even mentioned we could pick fresh oregano for our pasta dinner the night before the race!
The communication between us the host was seamless. They were very responsive and quite helpful. When my sister decided to drive up last minute from Southern California, they were able to help us accommodate her with little notice.
The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to make our dinner. The bathrooms were also equally well stocked with extra towels in the cabinet in the bedroom. Each room had a fan (which we only used in the afternoon) because the temperature was pretty much perfect :) There were some toys/cards for our kids to play with. The couch had some blankets to snuggle up for a movie and such. Overall, just a really comfortable and inviting experience. Will definitely stay again in the future if we are back in town. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us!

Great location. Very quiet and loved having the extra bathroom. Cottage contained everything we could have needed. Beds couldn't have been more inviting and we felt very comfortable. Driveway has a steep downgrade that made backing up our truck very challenging, but we were offered an alternate parking spot in front of the hosts house.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay despite the variable weather. Very pleasant cottage to spend time in during showers and storm. We appreciated the special instructions for check in, check out, tv use.
And the little things such as real plants inside, and lovely garden. Thank you Rich and Dianne.

We came for the birding festival and this cottage was perfect: convenient and walkable to restaurants, comfortable, well-equipped, and quiet. The hosts were very good at informing us about the cottage's amenities and local attractions. We'd happily return.

The cottage was THE BEST! Clean, cozy and in a great location. I could walk to the Embarcadero and other shops and restaurants. Also walked to Morro Rock from the cottage. The hosts were very nice and gave me info on their favorite places. The garden between the hosts’ house and the cottage was a nice touch. Highly recommend this cottage.

The Cottage was a delightful place to stay and so close to the coast & Top Dog Coffee shop. The space was light and had all the things we needed. Loved the "14,000 things to be happy about" book and the "Get out and play" book. We utilized both. We would love to stay here again on the nextt trip. Thank you!!

We stayed at The Cottage for the month of August and it was as wonderful as it was last year. Diane & Rich are amazing hosts.
The online description is exactly as it is, quiet, great location and easy walking to town, the Embarcadero, the marina and “The Rock”.
This visit we discovered the amazing Buttercup Bakery, 3 Stacks and. Rock brewery and Stolo Winery in Cambria.
Long time favorites Dockside 2, The Galley and Staxx were great as always.
We plan to return!

Totally the opposite - but I got your attention!! This is the 6th review I have written. Nothing has changed - the location is perfect for a Morro Bay stay. Dianne and Rich go out of their way to make their Cottage and gardens welcoming, visually pleasing, comfortable, clean and well-stocked. They are a friendly duo who give you needed privacy but reply quickly to texts - always ready to help with reasonable requests and questions. They love their community on the Central Coast and want you to love it also. Please don't stay here if you are looking for a 5-Star elegant hotel with fancy amenities and services. The Cottage is what it is - - AWESOME - - and the photos and listing give accurate info. Enjoy your stay!!

Repeat visit to beautiful area
Well appointed and designed, very comfortable place to stay. We enjoyed our walks to and from the waterfront, we would adjust the route slightly each time to see different homes, interesting coastal architecture and beautiful gardens. We would definitely stay here again.
