On the Beach Bed and Breakfast

I just stayed here for one night while on a road trip down route 1 and I honestly wish I stayed here longer! This place is absolutely unreal. The rooms are beautiful and very clean. My room came with a fireplace, a patio, and a hot tub. The staff do an amazing job making you feel welcomed and at home. I can’t believe how nice everyone is! Finally, and the absolute best part, is the food!!! I would come here just for the food. They serve «social hour appetizer» which is essentially dinner, plus a dessert, plus the best breakfast I can honestly say I ever had! The food is all homemade, absolutely delicious, and plentiful. There’s always lots of options and they never run out. They even leave out little homemade treats like muffins throughout the day. I was seriously blown away by the quality of the food.
Only downside? No air conditioning! Cayucos gets cool at night but I was too reluctant to leave our patio door open all night, so it did get a bit toasty under the covers.

Wonderful getaway. Quiet and fun.
The staff works tirelessly to meet your needs.
The breakfast and happy hour were superb! Some of the best tasting food we had! Everything was homemade from scratch and delicious. Made with with lots of love.
Hats off to Katie, Cynthia and all of the staff. We appreciated your hard work and kindness. We will be back.

RUDE!!! RUDE!!! RUDE… Front desk staff!!! And charged me $ 20.00 for THAT service!
Cynthia at front desk was so rude to me!!! I was trying to book rooms for my daughter’s wedding. I booked one room on line and it wouldn’t let me book the other room so I called and spoke to Cynthia. I don’t want to bore you with the whole story but she would cut me off when I was talking, was short with me and just nasty… finally I said, «I don’t think this is going to be a place I want to stay at so let’s just cancel my current reservation. She said, „we’re going to charge you a $ 20.00 service fee for cancelling your online reservation.“ I was shocked and said, „I wouldn’t even be cancelling if you hadn’t been so rude to me.“ She cut me off again before I could even get out my explanation and said, just call the mgr tomorrow and see if she can help you.» Then she put me on hold and I got disconnected! The manager called me and said she can’t do anything. My card was charged!!! Well there you have it! I was charged $ 20.00 dollars to be spoken to disrespectfully!!!

My first opportunity to stay on the beach, and I loved every minute. Was so difficult to return the key to our room! We took advantage of a Living Social deal to stay in an ocean view room. We were in room 103. Room was HUGE. Opened to the dining area (which was nice when we wanted to take food back into the room). The view of the ocean was perfect (though, being on the upper levels must be superb). LOVED the SHEETS! (I must own a set from The Comphy Co.) Falling asleep and waking to the sound of the ocean was amazing. Comfortable, cute little patio also. It is a great location to get away (the town is not too hoppin’), but there are a couple places that stay open late within walking distance (a plus when you want to have a couple… or four…). Enjoyed the breakfast options (first morning was waffles or an egg sandwich, second morning was pancakes or quiche), the wine in the afternoon (from a local winery — Cayucos Cellars), and the dessert (first night was coconut macaroons covered in chocolate and pistachios, the second night was chocolate chip cookies). The service was wonderful the entire stay (btw, they offer a late check in, which we needed as we arrived after 8 pm (they go home after 8 pm). The instructions were clear and the room was easily accessible. Parking was in a garage under the property and an elevator conveniently took us to the first level). If they offer another deal, I’d have a difficult time refusing. I loved my stay here! (If it was warmer, might have given the spa on the spa deck a try). Highly recommended! (But from what I gather, they book quickly on weekends…).

Best vacation ever! The room was so nice, it’s hard to know where to start. We stayed in room 202, which has a fantastic view of the ocean and pier from the bed!!! We stayed for three days/​two night. I wish we had more time. I am already looking forward to our next trip. The room was absolutely a suite. The bed was so comfortable and the sheets really soft. The pillows were perfect, each one different sizes and firmness. I love feather pillows and there were some perfect ones on my bed. There is a fireplace, really nice furniture, so many nice touches. They serve a hot, delicious, fancy breakfast. There is also free wine, with a nice appetizer at dinner time. We don’t drink, but enjoyed the food each evening and then dessert is set out at 8pm. There is a jacuzzi on the 2^nd floor overlooking the ocean! The shampoo smells wonderful.

What a perfect place for a relaxing and romantic getaway. We came here for my husband’s 55^th birthday. We were looking for somewhere we had never been before and struck gold! The accommodations were exceptional. We had a room on the second floor with an ocean view, fireplace and jacuzzi tub (several rooms have this). Their afternoon appetizers and wine were good, dessert in the evening flavorful and breakfast delicious. Try the baked oatmeal! The staff was friendly and accommodating. They were knowledgeable of the area and able to recommend where to go for dinner. We had dinner the first night at Schooners just 2 doors down. We had lunch this morning just across the street at Duckies. Great fish and chips. Oh and my husband walked right into the old fashion barber shop right next door and got all spruced up. I can’t wait to come back in the winter! I love the ocean, especially during a storm. We will be regulars here

My husband and I spent 2 nights here at the end of January. We stayed in room 1. The room was very spacious, clean and welcoming. The bed and linens were amazing. You can see the ocean from that room, but the best views are on the second floor.
Loved the nightly happy hour. Our hostess was Cynthia. She was very cheerful and accommodating. She served excellent appetizers and wine. Beer is also available. We did not have to go out for dinner either night due to the abundance of food. Dessert is also put out in the evening, but we did not partake of that. During the happy hour we met several guests who frequent the B&B.
The full breakfasts are also very tasty and of high quality. Maureen gets the credit for the breakfast we were served. She was another delightful employee and we were glad we got to meet her. We highly recommend On the Beach!

First time here and I loved it. I will certainly be back. The staff is consistently friendly and welcoming. Their breakfast was delicious. Love that they have a social hour. Nice touches all around. The room is large and they all have their own small patio. It is right across from the beach which is awesome however it does not allow for any privacy — cars parked right outside, lots of people, etc. Thanks to the team for making my first visit fabulous.

Perfect little getaway. This was my second stay at this charming B&B on the coast. Splurge and get the second floor beach view suites, large and comfy with gorgeous views of the beach, pier and in the distance, Morro Rock. Located on the «Main Drag» the inn is situated in the best area for ease of shopping, dining and walking in the beach in the quaint coastal town of Cayucos.
My husband and I always seem to be breezing through on our way to a conference, but have decided with this trip that we definitely need to come back for a few days of r&r. Thanks to Katie, for helping us with our late, late check in and thanks to Maureen for the great breakfast.

Enjoyed two days at this adorable B&B in January 2016. The staff was very welcoming and so helpful.
The room we stayed in was huge and came with a cute balcony, jacuzzi tub and fire place. My only complaint was the bed was less than comfortable. By the second night my boyfriend was in pain and I did not sleep well. At this point I’d expect a higher price room to come with a quality mattress.
The dining accommodations at the hotel were very nice. Breakfast was always delicious. Similarly we very much enjoyed happy hour with wine and apps. And the staff was so sweet with all the meals. For the price… the food plus room is quite a steal.
Overall if I knew someone traveling to this area, I’d recommend this B&B. The location… literally on the beach… very nice!

This lovely bed and breakfast deserves five stars! I stayed here for a couple of nights and fell in love with Cayucos. I’m not sure if my visit would have been the same if I had stayed elsewhere.
I stayed in Room 1 with a partial ocean view. The room is located downstairs and yes, you can see the ocean. The BnB is located in a commercial district, so there is a small road, parked cars and a public restroom interfering with the view. Kind of a bummer, but I’m sure the views from upstairs are stellar. I stayed during the off season but I imagine it might get busier and noisier during the peak summer season or holidays, which is to be expected.
The room itself is grand and huge — four people could easily fit. There are two comfortable queen size beds with silky, cotton sheets. There’s a television and a DVD player, a fireplace and a small table and chair. There is also a mini fridge, microwave and coffee pot in the room (not tucked away in the bathroom.) The bathroom was big, clean and brightly lit. There’s a jacuzzi in the bathroom. I tried the jets one night and avoided them the next. They were a little too noisy for me!
Besides the comfort of the beds and the convenient location, I loved the bed and breakfast vibe. I took this trip alone so I enjoyed talking to the employees at the front desk and the wonderful women who served breakfast and snacks during the day. You can easily find others to talk to in the community dining room or keep to yourself.
The food was delicious and plentiful. They serve continental breakfast in the morning if you want to grab something to go. I would recommend staying for the hot, freshly cooked breakfast. I had quiche one morning and blueberry pancakes the next. They also serve wine and appetizers at 5 pm and dessert at 8 pm. I really liked the convenience of having hot water and tea available ²⁴⁄₇ at the bar in the dining area. I visited in January and it was a perfect way to relax between activities.
Overall this place was amazing. I could tell that the employees worked hard between checking people in and preparing meals and snacks. They really go out of their way to make you feel like you’re being taken care of without being pretentious or snobby. Cayucos is an awesome little beach town and you can spend hours looking for rocks or sea glass at the beach, hiking or shopping in their quaint downtown. It’s also centrally located and close to The Hearst Castle, Cambria and SLO.
I was sad to leave, but I can’t wait to come back!

We just spent 4 days in Cayucos and stayed at On The Beach B & B. The room had a fireplace, 2 queen beds, coffee in room, with a microwave and little refrig. It was very clean and they serve a full breakfast as well as, muffins, fruit and cereal and coffee before the prepared breakfast at 9am. The food was well prepared, and at 5pm they served appetizers and wine and beer, tea. Then we would run out to dinner and come back to desert served at 7:30pm. On the Beach goes the extra mile to make sure guest are comfortable and well fed. The location was just at the foot of the pier, across the street from Duckies Fish & Chips. Definitely worth the cost.

Great place to stay. Very clean and quiet. Our balcony was 50 feet from the pier. Loved the wine and dessert time in the evenings. Rooms are nicely decorated. Breakfast is served every morning. Close to several restaurants. Underground parking is provided and included. We want to go back and soon !

Das Beach In ist ein kleines Hotel direkt am Pazifik gelegen auch die Zimmer zur Straßenseite sind sehr zu empfehlen Badezimmer mit einer Jaccuzzi Wanne. Um 17 Uhr bietet die Inhaberin ein kleines Dinner an wie sie sagt, es besteht aus selbst gemachten Pizza, Zucchini-​Salat Obstsalat und einiges mehr sowie Wein oder Bier dazu. Und dies alles mit Live Unterhaltung der Vermieterin. Auch das Frühstück ist endlich mal nicht das übliche allerlei aus fertig verpackten viel zu süßen Fastfood, sondern selbst gemachter Porree, Quiche und Pancake alleine das verdient einen extra Stern.

The wife and I stay here about a year and a half ago. Nice facilities, but very noisy. We decided to try them one more time. We recently decided to go back again and booked online for a three night stay In late October of 2015. Shortly after booking the stay, the B&B sent us a newsletter advising of a fall special where we could save a nights stay (250 – 300). We called and tried to work out the speci9al rate but they were not receptive to it. They wanted to charge a cancellation fee that is not in their website terms and conditions. They were argumentative on the phone and insisted it was in the terms and conditions. Well it’s not. What they do is deceitful and should not be happening to customers. What they do is let you click on a link on their main web page for the terms and conditions and then when you book online, they slip in a one liner at the very bottom changing the terms. It presented on on one page on the main website and when you are booking it is presented in a small box so that if you read it before you just check the box that you have read it and they’ve got you.
Will never again do business with people that have to resort to these tactics to make a buck.

We had a great stay at On the Beach. We rented 3 rooms for a girls weekend and had a great time. We used the deck and hot tub and thought the breakfast was extremely good. We also enjoyed the happy hour and appetizers… in fact they were filling enough to call
felt like «home away from home»

This is a jewel of a property! We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful, spacious, ocean front room including a fireplace and whirlpool tub.
The gorgeous sleigh beds alone will make you want to come back again and again! Soft, luxurious linens and just the right amount of down comforter.
We were greeted by wonderful Emily, and treated very special at the evening guest gathering where local wines and beers are poured and homemade delicious salads offered.
Breakfast topped off the stay with a full hot breakfast of gourmet homemade quiche, coffee cake and blueberry pancakes, plus fruit salad with local berries!
Don’t look anywhere else, this is it; comfort, location, staff, décor and ambience. Thank you On the Beach for a memorable stay!

I’d like to thank the staff of On the Beach Bed and Breakfast that made our experiences here truly great. This tiny little place is miles above anything you will find in Cambria, everything from the rooms, the food, the staff, the view and the overall experience is truly amazing.
You can pick the type of room you want, beach view or not and regardless of the room, they are all packed with all of the amenities you can think of at no extra cost.
I love coming to this little town of Cayucos because its so quiet and perfect for relaxing.
Do your self a favor and get away for the weekend to come and enjoy a stay at On the Beach Bed and Breakfast, you’ll be glad you did!

Great location and view from the second floor. Great selection of food, continental breakfast at 8am and hot breakfast at 9am. They accomodate allergens if you notify them in advance, wish i would have known that before reading that in the binder that is in the room. The breakfast times are quite late for us although for once we did sleep in late. The service is good but they close at 8pm so if you have a smoker bothering you after that time I guess you’re on your own.

This is a precious gem of a place. First, let’s chat about the rooms. Inviting and warm, with a relaxed beachy luxury, you’re going to love all the thoughtful touches that are packed into this room. Deep jacuzzi tub! Balcony facing the ocean. Hidden, yet practical fridge. Robes. You may never want to leave.
Second, let’s dish about the food. The social hour: wine pour weekends with savory bites to send you on your way out to dinner after checking in. Decadent dessert treats for a little nightcap before turning in. And the breakfasts: continental starts at 8 for those on the go and savory or sweet choices, after 9. (hint: you can get both choices). The bacon here is out of this world.
Last, but not least: the staff. They go beyond friendly and helpful. Want to know the best places, the local spots, where the action is? This staff can hook you up for any adventure you could ever want.
This place is special.

What a great spot! And yes, it is on the beach (though technically there are some parking spots between the bed & breakfast and the beach.
We stayed for one night in a room that had a small balcony that overlooked the beach. The room was huge and had a fireplace; it was an incredibly cozy spot and perhaps a bit romantic considering that it was a girls’ getaway weekend. There was a large jacuzzi tub in the room and also a hot tub on premises (neither of which I used). Beds were also surprisingly incredibly comfortable.
The service and «amenities» (if you want to call them that) were great. The woman at the front desk was helpful in providing us with the lay of the land in Cayucos and also with all that the B&B had to offer. We partook in the happy hour which included pizza (!), local wine and beer. The wine was quite tasty (my first Roussanne). They also provide breakfast which consisted of vegetarian quiche (artichokes and goat cheese) and french toast along with continental breakfast, fruit salad and coffee and teas. The quiche was great and was made by the ladies at the hotel!
