Our favourite rooms
The lodgings are all similar in style, with shiplap framework, ceiling fans, and small private patios or wood-burning stoves in some. Groups of girlfriends will love the Back Bungalow, which has two queen-size beds and its own porch, plus a communal lounge and fire pit around the corner – it’s also especially well positioned for sunsets over the ocean.
Packing tips
Wetsuits, wax and surf spray for your locks so you don’t stand out as an interloper.
Pet‐friendly
Dogs weighing under 40lbs are welcome to stay in the pet-friendly Vaulted King rooms with prior notice for a fee of $100. Only one dog is allowed per room. They’re welcome in the hotel’s communal areas, but must be on a leash and are not permitted on any See more pet-friendly hotels in Cayucos.
Children
All ages are welcome and there are rooms with two queen-size beds that are perfect for families.
Sustainability efforts
Lots of the amenities and products used are locally sourced, including Parachute linens and Linus bicycles from Venice, and Fable Rune bath products from Oakland. The drought-tolerant landscaping is well suited to the Californian environs, there are no single-use plastics and the loo roll is eco-friendly. And Cayucos may only have a population of 2,000 but the staff are all local.
