We left feeling like melted butter. My boyfriend and I had the pleasure of getting massages and a facial at Spa By The Bay. We saw Andrea for a 90 minute prenatal massage and facial, and Danielle for a 90 minute massage. Upon calling, they had multiple options fitting with our availability. They were extremely friendly, personable and attentive. The experience shown in the prenatal massage really came through, I was perfectly comfortable throughout the entire experience, almost falling asleep. The mixture of touch, hot stones and pillow placement was heaven. My boyfriend has a lot of muscle pain and cramping, and he was floating when he left. We HIGHLY recommend this spa to anyone wanting a comfortable and body melting experience. We will definitely book this exact place next time we are in Morro Bay. Thank you Andrea and Danielle!! read more

Best massage I've ever had! Reasonable prices, private location, and super easy to schedule. Came to Morro on vacation and decided to get a massage. I've gone to the spa near Avila beach, but I was looking for a place that specializes in massages. I feel like places that just do massages usually have people with more passion and experience than a spa with lots of specialties. Found this gem on Yelp. Went for a couples massage - 90 minutes, and it was the best massage either of us have ever had. It's got the same feel of a spa, but feels more personal. Kristina did a great deep tissue massage. She asked for areas that needed focus and identified lots of trouble spots as she was working. Emily did a wonderful massage, great pressure and the best use of hot stones I've had. This will definitely be a part of all future trips here. read more

I had a massage today with Andrea and it was pure bliss! She was a truly amazing massage therapist. Hands down one of the best I have ever had. Pressure was perfect and so relaxing. Cute little place that has the perfect ambiance. I wish I lived here I would have a massage every week! read more

Great experience! Andrea was wonderful! She got in there and worked out the knots in my shoulders. Place was very clean and quiet. I would definitely recommend to all and would go back again. read more

Very accommodating, took the time to make sure massage is catered to your needs. Very relaxing. Friendly staff. Would recommend!

Natalie and Andrea were the best! I took my wife here for her Birthday and we both walked out feeling relaxed and rejuvenated! They were attentive and professional. We can't wait to come back! read more

My boyfriend and I just had our first massage here and it was a wonderful experience. We both feel amazing and relaxed! We were treated so well, and we are already planning to return. I have issues with my back that I expressed before our massage and it was never a problem throughout the massage - great job ladies! Thank you! read more

A great big thank you to Mickey and Shawna for accommodating me on short notice (well, more like NO notice) for a massage! When I realized I was going to have 90 minutes of free time while visting Morro Bay this past Saturday, I decided I'd really like to spend it getting a massage. So, I googled massage places in Morro Bay and called Spa by the Bay. Mickey picked up and told me she'd try to find someone; called me back in two minutes to tell me she wouldn't be able to find someone. Her promptness had already made me decide to call upon her next time I was in town, but when when she called me back in two more minutes to tell me she'd found someone, I knew I had stumbled upon someone special. Spa by the Bay is located in town, in a little professional complex across from the post office. Very convenient to the Chase Bank, where I could hit up the ATM beforehand. Shawna was the massage therapist that came in on such short notice. She was so very pleasant and nice and made me feel instantly comfortable. The massage room I was in was very comfortable and classy. Boy, Shawna knows her stuff. After only a one minute description of what I liked and didn't like, she hit on all of the right spots for the right amounts of time. I have no idea how she knew, but she did. She was truly a professional, great at what she does, and is downright awesome. The best part of the massage (after Shawna's telepathic massage skills) were the hot stones. Oh my goodness, the hot stones feel like... hmmm... they feel like getting into a hot shower on a cold morning, but like 20 times better. I am so glad she was able to come in! I highly recommend Spa by the Bay. It's appropriately priced for a massage therapy establishment without all the bells and whistles of a day spa. I will definitely visit again. read more

We drove down from Hanford, and when we arrived we were greeted by two wonderful ladies that gave us the BEST MASSAGE EVER! Comfortable, very clean, great experience. I have never been so relaxed in my life. I especially loved the hot stones. Absolutely fabulous! 'Nuff said! Natalie and Marcia are the best! We will be going back for sure! read more

Amazing 90 minute couple's massage over President's Day Weekend. We both were in the same room, with dim lighting and relaxing music. I rarely fall asleep during massages, but this one really relaxed me to the point of Zzz's. This will be our go to spot next time we are in Morro Bay. read more

Natalie and Andrea were awesome. Called me before to make sure everything was set up like we wanted. We got a couples massage for an anniversary trip to Morro Bay. Thank you both for helping to make our weekend wonderful! read more

Mo was awesome! We called last minute Mickey got me and boyfriend in back to back massages! Excellent and reasonably priced

My BFF and I love coming here when we are in town (we are from Fresno) and they are always accommodating to our schedule! Nice atmosphere and EXCELLENT massage!! Looking forward to our visit this weekend!! read more

Surprised my wife for our anniversary weekend with a couples massage by Heather and Natalie. We have had a few couples massages before but this was by far the best one we have had. Both of them were very thorough with our needs and concerns which they had asked about before the massage. Definitely recommend and will be back in the future read more

Another wonderful massage experience at Spa by the Bay! Natalie gave me the most relaxing prenatal massage. She is sweet, professional, and an excellent massage therapist. Highly recommend! read more

Booked a couples massage last minute and Mickey was so kind enough to get us in. The girls were awesome! It truly was one of the best massages we have had. I highly recommend for anyone stopping by at Morro Bay. read more

I was going to Morro Bay for the weekend and wanted to treat myself. I'll be honest - this was the first place that called me back. So, I went. I had a massage with Shawna (sp?), and I was very pleased. I've had many many massages in my life, and Shawna was one of the better ones I've ever had. Good pressure, responsive to what my muscles were like (as opposed to just following a set pattern by rote), and friendly but not too much talking. Offered a small bottle of water afterward. The lady running the front of house (manager? Receptionist?) was courteous and professional, and it was overall a pleasant place to be, and a high quality massage. read more

Heather was awesome! She found knots that I didn't know I had. She was great! I would definitely go back to her for another massage. The place was so soothing as well! And Mickey was great fitting me and my friend in on VERY short notice. Thank you very much! read more

I wish I had 10 stars to give spa by the bay. Absolutely amazing!!!! Mickey and Monet did a wonderful job doing a couples massage, the environment was cozy and inviting. Thank you both for the awesome massage. read more

Ten minutes into my massage with Mickey I already started composing my Yelp review in my head. It impressed me that much in that short amount of time. I frequently get massages and have tried a lot of places, everywhere from traveling masseuses, little hole in the wall places, and foofy fancy resorts. Pretty much every massage I've ever had has totally sucked in comparison to my experience at Spa By the Bay. I usually skip full body massages and ask the therapist just to work on my back, hips and glutes because those are my problem areas (I have thoracic outlet syndrome, Scheuermann's disease, piriformis syndrome, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, rotator cuff tendonitis and arthritis. I'm also a weight lifter and do BodyCombat three times a week. Yeah, and YOU thought you had a bad back!). And, I feel that with full body it ends up being that the therapist halfheartedly rubs oil over your arms and legs simply to eat up time. But when I go to someone for the first time I usually just let them do their thing so I can see what their technique is like. I'm pretty sure that Mickey has sold me back into full body. Every little muscle was given individual, detailed attention. She also incorporated stretching and hot stones which amplified the effect. Any other place I have gone to has charged an extra $10+ to add hot stone. Here, it was included. When it came time for her to work on the disaster that is my back, I wanted to die. Of amazing happiness. I like a lot of deep work and she got up on the table and got her elbows into it. She made sure to pay attention to the troublesome areas I mentioned and it felt like those golf ball sized knots nestled by my vertebrae were gently annihilated. Another thing worth mentioning, that many other Yelpers have added: I got in here with very little notice on Memorial Day. My back had been killing me and I knew trying to get someone on a holiday would be a long shot. She got me in, no problem. The spa is very clean with a relaxing ambiance. The parking is plentiful. They also use doTerra essential oils, which is like the Rolls Royce of essential oils. And, the price was a steal! I've paid twice as much for massages that weren't 10% as good. Also, the table was very comfortable. I'm plus sized and every other place I've gone to has a little skinny stick figure table and I have to try really hard to keep my arms from rolling off the table. Doing so doesn't let you fully relax. Here I could sprawl out and all my limbs were fully supported. I'm totally coming back here. Not wasting my time with any other place. I'd give it a million stars if I could. read more

I have to say thank you to Micky for working swiftly to pull together a couples massage at the last minute. This was my hubby's first massage and he was thoroughly impressed at the professionalism and level of attention we both received. They were sensitive to our limits (he's not so flexible) and made sure that we were both completely comfortable. It was relaxing and after 3 days, we're still feeling the affects of their magic hands! For $130 couples massage at 60 minutes, it's hard to beat that. We didn't even ask about the Yelp discount. It was worth paying full price. Make sure you have cash on hand and a little extra for a tip :) We'll be back soon! read more

I got a massage here while staying in nearby Cayucos and was definitely impressed! I have only had a few massages before and wanted to get one at a different place. My sister and I went (she had never had one before) and found it very relaxing! The therapists were so nice and did an excellent job! I will definitely try and go back next time I am in town. Thanks ladies! read more

Best massage of my life. I have been struggling with chronic low back pain for years. After my massage, I was pain free for a week. I can't wait to go back for another massage! read more

My husband and I visited Morro Bay while traveling on our honeymoon. As a licensed massage therapist, I am very particular about who works on me. Our hotel highly recommended Spa By the Bay so we decided to give it a try; we were not dissapointed. We booked a 90 minute couple's massage where we could be accommodated in the same space; believe it or not, this was the first time I had this expierence. The space was warm and cozy. We had the privilege of working with Natalie and Rachel who had combined experience of over 15 years. Their knowledge, skill and warmth made the experience wonderful. I recommend them to anyone who is looking for a relaxing yet therapeutic massage and we will be sure to look them up again and request them by name when we return! read more

I have had the privilege of being on the receiving end of Mickey's massages for years. Yes, I've even tried others (even out of the country) but I always compare them to what Micky delivers. I enjoy a deep massage and she "works" the entire time and it's always an amazing treat when I can splurge for and hour and a half. Her massage room is nicely decorated and welcoming and her calm, caring demeanor adds to a relaxing and refreshing experience. A treat for yourself or someone you love - you won't go wrong here!! Enjoy!! read more

Love these ladies. Excellent massage!! I make an appointment whenever I can. I have migraines and low back issues and the leave me relaxed and pain free. Love them! read more

I had not received a hot stone massage before, but I was on vacation and was open to something new. I was sold by the technique in the expert and soothing hands of Annie. This massage was just the ticket for a relaxing summer vacation by the sea. Much like the town itself, Spa By the Bay in Morro Bay is a relaxing laid back experience. Mickey, the owner and Annie are warm and welcoming while the rooms are simply stated with just the right aroma, soft light and music. Though I vacation on the Central Coast quite often, this was my first visit to Spa by the Bay; now I intend to make sure a stop is scheduled during future trips. read more

Surprised my husband with an hour full body massage along with me.....we truly loved them! An hour is not long enough....get more time if you can. We will definitely be going back next time we visit the area! read more

I've never gotten a bad massage from here. Easy, casual, and quality body work provided here at a good price.

I have to say scheduling a massage last minute was relatively easy here. The owner (nicky?) was very helpful. The parking was easy and simple and the spa itself was small yet cozy. I had Malaysia for a 1.5 hr massage. She asked if I had anything to share about my present state?? I let her know I recently injured my right shoulder, but it seemed she didn't hear me or maybe she was just preoccupied. The massage was fair at best although I think she gave it her best. She uses her arms mostly, which felt pretty good on my back. However, for some reason she spent about 15-20 minutes on my calves and provided a few strokes on my hamstrings. She did shake my glutes around a bit over the blanket after finishing my calves and then only spent about 5 minutes on my neck and shoulders(3 strokes each). She was pretty rough grabbing my shoulder until I reminded her that I needed just some easy soft glides. I'm sure her style works for some. Just wanted someone who could offer over all body work using long firm gliding, kneading techniques....Swedish with some passive joint release. Bummer. :-( read more

Such a wonderful experience! We were taken in on very short notice, and they were very accommodating of our schedule. One of the best massages I've had in my life! The room was cozy and inviting, music was relaxing, and the massage itself was practically a spiritual experience! read more

My husband and I had a 75 minute couples massage with Mickey and Marsha yesterday and it was absolutely wonderful! Mickey gave me a deep tissue massage and I walked out of the spa feeling like a new person no longer in pain. My husband had a Swedish massage from Marsha and he too felt rejuvenated. We will definitely be repeat customers. read more

Oh my gosh- where do I start?! The massage my husband and I received from Marcia was Amazing! We both felt so relaxed afterwards- Marcia was so skilled, kind, and just a lovely person! The next time we are in town we will definitely make appointments to go back!! I recommend this place to everyone!! Thank you Marcia read more

This spa completely fits the vibe of Morro Bay. Friendly and professional in every way. Very reasonably priced! Massage was relaxing, comfortable and thorough. Marcia listened to my concerns and addressed them wonderfully throughout my message. Hot stones were a welcomed, relaxing addition. Found it very hard to pull myself away from the table when my massage was over. I'll be returning to see Marcia again soon! read more

My wife and I had massages here just recently. What we received was unfortunately a mixed bag. I had Natalie and she really did an amazing job with my massage. (5 stars) I am very experienced with massages so it was with no small statement when I told her that her massage was as good as I have had anywhere. On the other hand, my wife's massage was as she puts it "one of the worst massages she has ever had"... I've had bad massages before so I know what its like to endure such a procedure. I won't post the name of the person who did the massage. I only post this message so that the owner of the place (Mickey) will know. When it comes to massage, I always take the time to look at reviews. Then when I book the massage, I try and get the ones with repeated, favorable reviews. Unfortunately, the person who did my wife was not who I asked for so that makes me frustrated. The fact that I received a very nice massage and my wife received the opposite only made me feel crappy about the whole situation. read more

This was the first time trying this day spa. Found it on Yelp. Went to have a couples massage and we called last minute (the day before). Mickey, the owner earned 5 stars before we even went there by rearranging her schedule to accommodate us on short notice! Once we got there, Shawna and Mickey were our therapists and they were wonderful! We did a 90 min massage. They surprised both of us by using hot rocks! Their prices aren't out this world and worth every penny!! We have several spas here in SLO, but will drive to Morro Bay again for this treatment!! read more

Mickey is by far the best massage you will ever get! I'm not from the area but every time I come to town I try and book with her. The spa is small, cute, and very clean. You will not regret it - she is the best! read more

Excellent massage from Natalie. I got the 90 minute massage with hot stones! Just what I needed after traveling by car halfway across the US. Would love to go back again someday. read more

My husband and I came to Morro Bay for Memorial Weekend. I called the Thursday before to book an appointment and the gal I spoke to scheduled an appointment at 10 am for Saturday morning. She shared that if we wanted to cancel to call at least an hour before. We got to the spa Saturday morning at 9:50 am and it was closed we waited longer than 10 minutes after 10 am and no one showed up. I would not recommend. read more

I would highly recommend Spa by the Bay. Whether I go for a rejuvenating massage or need work on a specific area after a hard workout , I always go home feeling wonderful. The therapists are very well trained as well as friendly and professional. I have found no better place in the area for a massage. The hot rock treatments are a real treat! read more
