WOW what a great vacation! We stayed at a rental house that was so awesome we had a view of the rock and a 5 minute walk to the beach. When we walked to the beach we saw 8 people riding horses. Girls found so many sand dollars and interesting rocks. The house a 4 bedroom house so thoughtfully equipped, every detail had been addressed down to coffee and filters. The house was very comfortable with large dining table, the kitchen was smaller but worked very well. Tv's in the family room, fireplace, living room had couch, chairs, another small table and chairs for playing games or puzzles that are there in abundance. So to the rental company 1. Found them on Craigslist 2 went to website 3 filled out information and only gave a 50.00 deposit. Due to short time I secured it 2 days before arrival I called and discussed what needed to be done. 4 arrived paid got keys never needed to talk to them till I left. This place was warm, comfortable, spacious, very clean!! This home reminds me that grandma met Jesus at the beach. What a blessing! Lastly the price for this huge home was equal to a nice hotel but this home has everything you want, this is a great bargain. Lisa we will be back soon!! read more

Their online credit card payment system was not secure. I had to send a check. There were problems with our vacation rental and the review I submitted for it didn't make it on their website so I can only assume that they are filtering negative reviews. read more

We recently rented a house through this service 3060 Mills in Cambria for our family getaway on April 4 2021 through April 8. The house was advertised including photos of a nice gym room with exercise equipment as an amenity and it looked comfortable. To our surprise, there was no gym room when we got to the house. The couches had been replaced by fake leather very uncomfortable couches. No instructions were given on how to operate the heating in the house (it turned out to have two thermostats). The master bedroom did not have heating when we arrive it was too cold so we had to sleep in a small room on the other side of the house. We called Coastal Escapes and they did not return our call until late next day. Additionally they said the owner had removed the exercise equipment the day before our arrival and changed the couches. We asked for a partial refund and to this day they never responded. All we got was an apology, but no effort to make it right. The house was $275 a night. Very disappointed in the lack of professional service. read more

This is always my favorite vacation spot and the perfect rental. We have been renting with costal escapes for 20 years

I don't rent a beach house every summer, but when I do, Coastal Escapes will no longer be my first call. For the second time in 7 years Coastal Escapes has disrupted our summer plans without regard for us,... thier customer. Approximately 10 month before our July '18 vacation, we contracted with Coastal Escapes to rent a home in Cayucos for 2 weeks. This is no small commitment, we have planned both mentally, physically, and monetarily for this vacation. A week ago, received an e-mail stating that the home we contracted to rent was no longer available, yes this bothered us greatly, but I do understand that things can change. The real problem is NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. The e-mail said, check our website for options. with Summer six months away there are no options available on thier website! I made one phone call and it was suggested that I call back and talk to the person who send me the original e-mail. What ? Call back? How about you have them call me? I did call back, left a message on a voice mail, and now days later have received no return call...... As I stated this is the SECOND time this has happened in 7 summers. The first time same scenario and after many calls we were able to rent a more expensive place, but not for the time frame we originally contracted for. This time, I am not willing to fight them, I will write this review and try to use a different company to contract with, and hope for some better business practices if they cannot fulfill thier end of the contract! A) A phone call! B) An sincere apology! C)Have an alternate property to offer or at least offer to "wait list" us at a similar property. Not many choices when looking for rental property in Cayucos, but this one will not be our go to any longer. read more

I rented a beach front property through Coastal Escapes for our Easter vacation in 2014. I paid almost $1600 for a few days which I thought was worth it for a nice house on the beach. They have wonderful reviews on their website for the house and good pictures. Imagine planning 5 months ahead and dreaming of your beachfront vacation. Upon arrival I was SHOCKED at the condition of the house. It was dirty and full of bugs. The kitchen cabinets were held closed with kitchen utensils. The key to the house led into the master bath. The master bedroom and bath were once the garage I believe and look that way still. The sliding door to the back patio was off the track and could barely be moved. I immediately went to the office to exclaim my dismay at the deplorable conditions of the house. I cannot believe they can charge that much money to renters for what is basically a shanty. Its on the beach so the property location is ideal but the house is abysmal. The office said they have no control over the condition of the property and its the owners responsiblity. So whats the point of going through the realtor? This experience ruined our whole trip to Cayucos. I planned everything for my family so I was to blame. For trusting the reviews on their website - which couldn't possibly be real - and trusting Coastal Escapes to be responsible for their business. I've stayed in Cayucos before and rented through other agencies with wonderful results. I will never rent through Coastal Escapes again. one star is too many. read more
