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. AIR CONDITIONED and heated to be as comfy as you want it, whether a foggy morning or a sunny afternoon, you'll be able to find peace in the Shack.

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 dogs and three cats. Our children are young (5 and 7) and you may occasionally hear them during your stay from our backyard, but they will not have access to the courtyard unless walking through with myself or my wife to access laundry. 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.
