SEE: COVID-19 Cleaning practices at the end of this section

Are you seeking an authentic experience, one that gives you the true sense of a place — where you feel at home, as if you’ve always belonged?

The Green Cottage is a vintage beach house that sits at the water’s edge at the southern end of Morro Bay, on California’s Central Coast. It is a romantic vacation rental for two people, beautifully refurbished and filled with art, antiques and hand-made quilts. It offers comfort, privacy, solitude and views that go on forever.

It is the perfect hideaway at the end of a small peninsula tucked away in a quiet residential area of Los Osos. Our part of California is off the beaten path and we like it that way. We live our lives a little slower than the rest of the world. That gives us time to see more of what there is to see and to experience more of the things that are authentic and meaningful — all far, far away from fast-paced big-city lives.

There is something here that evokes reminiscent images of days gone by. Ice cream shops, a famous cookie company, boardwalks, local cafés only locals know about, wineries, art galleries, saloons, hiking trails and deserted beaches perfect for long walks and collecting shells.

Originally a fisherman’s cottage from early 1900s, the Green Cottage has old world charm with today’s comforts. It features the most sought-after attractions in our area: privacy, unobstructed views of Morro Bay, Morro Rock, Baywood Park, and the mountains beyond. This single-story, cozy cottage is irresistibly charming, with emphasis on comfort and view. It provides you with the opportunity to immerse yourself in nature, in romance — here in “the middle kingdom” as National Geographic once called this region of California. It is a natural escape, a refuge and home base for exploring the beautiful Central Coast and all it has to offer.

The Cottage features an open plan interior with an eclectic style of décor, including contemporary and vintage pieces, with the addition of family heirlooms to add just the right amount of coziness and comfort. Step inside and make a cup of tea or cook a gourmet meal in the fully-equipped kitchen to enjoy by candlelight or under the stars on the Cottage deck.

When you step out onto the deck — be warned — you will not want to leave. There you can sit for hours with your coffee or glass of wine and look down along the shoreline, across the bay to Morro Rock, to the sand dunes and the surrounding mountains.

If you want to connect with the outside world, we make it easy with fast free Wi-Fi. But we suggest making contact on a more personal level by taking a walk along the water and seeing where life takes you. In that way, the Cottage becomes your inspirational refuge.

Whether you are looking for action, adventure, peace, solitude or romance, the Green Cottage offers you a ‘road less traveled’ experience that you will want to return to again and again.

We have 280 Five-Star Reviews and we know that it’s not just the 5-Star review that is important to you, but how many there are over a long period of time. That’s why we are so very proud of our 281 5-Star reviews and 2 4-Star reviews, since 2009.

VRBO/Homeaway: 211 5-Stars, 2 4-Stars; Flipkey: 60 5-Star reviews; Airbnb: 10 5-Star reviews.

DESCRIPTION:

Single level waterfront cottage, 895 sq. feet with a living/sitting room, full kitchen, pantry, private deck overlooking the water, bathroom, small room with a day bed, outdoor grill with propane, FREE high speed wireless internet, off-street parking, access to the beach.

Interaction with guest

We believe the Green Cottage On Morro Bay provides you with a peaceful ambience -- one where you feel like you are visiting your favorite aunt's very special beach cottage, and she's given you the key while she's away sailing in the south seas. We do not intrude on your escape, rather are nearby to assist in any way we can if you need something, and to answer questions. We are happy to provide detailed information (ahead of time) of our favorite restaurants, wineries, hiking trails, things to do and places to see. That way you can do all of your research before you get here, if you want. All you have to do is ask.
