Morro Bay is one of California’s great Central Coast communities The area has become famous for its beautiful state parks, bird estuary’s, and the distinct Morro Rock. Tourists and locals both enjoy a variety of activities in the area, including fishing, surfing, kayaking, golfing, bird watching, beachcombing, or just relaxing and enjoying the sunset. Besides the nature and recreation of Estero Bay, there are also fine restaurants, and unique shops. Morro Bay, the largest of the three cities, is at the heart of Estero Bay. Morro Rock, the last in a chain of long-extinct volcanoes, covers over 50 acres at its base and towers 576 feet above the entrance to Morro Bay. The waters that make up the bay are contained within a three-mile sandpit and the shores of Morro Bay and Los Osos. The local fishing industry is one of the most important along the California Coast. On the Embarcadero, you can shop, walk to Tidelands Park and play on the pirate ship, or simply sit and watch as the boats make their way to sea.

Being able to walk everywhere from the cottage, for me up to 3,4,5 miles in either direction. The patio, the kitchen, the little attached porch which I used as my sketching table.

4 instead of 5 stars-- the house and location are magical but it is dated and probably not appropriate for small children, active dogs or anyone who is disabled. Deck down at waterfront, above the bay, mesmerizing and tranquil but a straight drop off so I was glad I didn't have my dog in residence. Electric in kitchen a bit challenged, circuit blown with Keurig and toaster plugged in. Old fashioned furnishings add to its comfort and charm. It feels spacious. Walking distance to State Park or down to Embarcadero. A wonderful back porch and great view from dining room. I'd stay there again but would suggest a few upgrades. Tub/shower could use grab bar and modern faucet to better regulate hot/cold. Shower though had terrific pressure.
