OMGosh! What a gem Captain Java’s cottage is. Everything about my stay was pure perfection. How could it be anything but perfection when falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the ocean. The cottage is adorable. Loved all the little details - so sweet. Very spacious and comfortable. I will most definitely be back. Thank you so much. PS. Parents/Grandparents of Cal Poly students, this is just 15 min from campus.

This is a beautiful cottage just steps from the beach and the hosts David and Sabine are very gracious and ready to help you and/or answer any questions you might have. Because of the location and the hosts, my husband and I have now stayed here 3 years in a row and are anticipating a return trip very soon. We had so much fun, we hated to go back home and this felt like a second home to us.

We loved the beachy vibe of the cottage inside and on the large patio. Bed was very comfortable. Lots of amenities too! David and Sabine are great hosts. Very nice and helpful. Morro Bay had tons of sea life - sea otters, pelicans, seals, egrets, long-billed curlews, and much more. Lots of gift shops & restaurants in Morro Bay. Sunsets - gorgeous.

A Perfect Coastal Getaway!We had the most wonderful stay at Captain Jaca’s cottage. From the moment we arrived, everything felt thoughtfully prepared and incredibly welcoming. One of the sweetest touches was the fresh bouquet of flowers that greeted us—it instantly made us feel at home.The cottage itself is charming, clean, and beautifully maintained, with everything you need for a relaxing escape. Just a short 5-minute stroll to the beach, it’s the perfect location for anyone wanting peace, beauty, and the sound of the waves nearby.The hosts truly go above and beyond. Every detail is taken care of, and their thoughtful touches make the stay feel extra special. We can’t wait to return!

Morro Bay treasure

Captain Java’s Cottage was exactly as described. Tucked in a beautiful neighborhood, a short walk to the beach and close to Morro Bay, Cayucos and Cambria. Every detail was thought through by the owners. Lovely decor, comfortable bed, very clean, large patio area for enjoying coffee or watching the sunset.

What a cute and comfortable place this is. Easy access from the highway and literally steps from the beach. The cottage has just enough room. There is a closet on the way to a spacious bathroom and a small table by a front window. We really liked the front porch/deck area which extends the living space. Bonuses: Its very quiet and the owners were very responsive. Lovely place and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
