How far in advance can I place a booking? We begin taking bookings for 2008 on October 15, 2007.  In order to allow property owners to set their rates and reserve dates for the next year, we cannot take reservations before this date. Once you have made a phone reservation, you will need to send your deposit immediately in order to hold that reservation.

When do I pay the deposit and rent? To hold your reservation, your deposit must be received immediately following the verbal reservation. Your complete rent must be received 30 days before your check-in date.

What form(s) of payment do you accept? You may pay for your deposit and rent with a personal check, cashier's check or money order. We do not accept credit cards. Please do not send cash. If you are making a reservation on short notice, you may be asked to send a cashier's check or money order instead of a personal check.

When is your peak season? Peak season (summer) rates apply from Memorial Day weekend until Labor Day weekend. During these summer months, most units will only rent by the week (Saturday-Saturday). During off-season (September-May), there is a two-night minimum.

What is provided in the unit? All our vacation rentals are fully furnished. For most units, you will need to bring your own linens (sheets & towels). The kitchens are generally equipped with dishes, utensils, stove/oven, refrigerator, pots & pans, and common cooking utensils. If you have questions about specific items, please contact us.

Do your vacation rentals allow pets? Some units will take small pets, but many units will not. Often, the property owner may ask you to pay for carpet cleaning and/or defleaing after you check-out if you had a pet. Please contact us with specific questions.

Where are your vacation rentals located? The majority of our rentals are in Morro Bay and Cayucos. All are within minutes' drive to the water, and many are within walking distance and/or have ocean views. Morro Bay and Cayucos are both small towns, so you are never far from downtown, restaurants, the grocery store or the water.

What is your cancellation policy? Security deposits and rents are fully refundable if you cancel more than one month prior to your check-in date. If the cancellation is less than one month prior to your check-in date, you do stand to lose the rent amount if the unit cannot be re-rented.

What costs are there in addition to the rent? All rentals in Morro Bay have a minimum cleaning fee (ranging from $50 -100). This fee will be deducted from your security deposit after your stay. For rentals in Cayucos, the minimum cleaning fee is included in the rent. In addition, we are also required to collect city/county bed tax on all rentals for 30 days or less.  This tax is based on the total rent amount (10% in Morro Bay, 9% in Cayucos).
