Captain Java’s Cottage

This location had a cottage fell. It was clean, private and just steps away from the ocean. The place had all the items in it that you may have forgot and more. Great location as it was close to hiking, fishing, wine tasting, walking on the beaches and more. I would definitely go back.

Wonderful Slice of Heaven

This place is better than the listing can even describe. The location is stellar: easy access to the main road, shopping and dining, but most important, a quick and easy walk to the beach.While the space encompasses just one room, the outdoor eating, sitting and washing area make it feel so much larger.The hosts are so thoughtful and supply everything you might forget. In addition, we were greeted with snacks and bubbly!

Beautiful Cozy Getaway

We used to live in Morro Bay and came to visit family for Easter weekend. As soon as we got to Captain Java’s we noticed how immaculately clean it was. They had waters on both sides of the bed, extra toiletries in case we forgot anything, beautiful flowers on the table and some Easter candy. They had coffee, juice and creamer which we enjoyed on the front patio listening to the waves. This is a beautiful place and we will definitely be coming back again. Be safe to leave a note in their guest book

Great base

We stayed here on our first visit to California. Relaxing cozy spot to use to go wine tasting in Paso Robles, driving up Hwy 1 for the gorgeous views and coming back to Morro Bay to walk the beach which is just a house away from Captain Java’s Cottage. So clean and inviting. Salina and Dave’s extras added to such a nice stay.

Wonderful Valentines Getaway

My wife and I had a great extended weekend at Captain Javas Cottage. The location is very close to the beach on a route frequented by many folks walking or riding bicycles. Very short drive to downtown Morro Bay or Cayucos. Cottage is stocked with all the necessities and the hosts are friendly and responsive. Definitely on the ‘would stay there again’ list!

Close to the Ocean

We loved our stay at Captain Java's! We arrived mid December - in the dark - and it was so nice to see festive Christmas lights on to welcome us. We also found the poinsettia on the table - a wonderful holiday touch, as well as the sweets beside it. There was some cereal, creamer and coffee for us to use, as well as some things in the fridge - which was all very much appreciated! The fireplace was lovely to turn on in the evening and take the chill off. We stayed for two weeks, and we enjoyed coming 'home' every night! it is just a 5 - 10 minute walk down to the dunes and the ocean, which we greatly enjoyed. Most mornings we went on beach walks. So many things to do around the area and the coastal towns aren't far away. We loved that the drive to San Louis Obispo was just 12 miles away on a four lane besides lots of farm lands. We hope to stay here again sometime.

A Little Something Extra!

"A Little Something Extra" doesn't even come close to describing the numerous amenities provided by our hosts, Sabine & David. Upon our arrival, we were greeted with a fine bottle of bubbly, chilled glasses and a lovely bouquet of fresh flowers. And, while the weather was less amenable, the cottage was warm & cozy & quiet. Thanks for a great stay! We WILL return! Sharon & Michael
