Sabine (host) greeted me upon my arrival. The cottage was very comfy and very clean. Enjoyed all the amenities. Very peaceful stay. Definitely will book again.
Great location to everything we wanted. Neighborhood was friendly and walkable. Accommodations were great. We enjoyed our week very much at Captain Javas!
Clean, beautiful, and cozy. Walk right out on to the beach. This was our third stay at Captain Java’s and it’s always wonderful and welcoming. Thank you!!!
What can I say... I can just attest to the fact hat everything that the previous stellar reviews said is true. With the exception that the photos of the interior posted by prior guests don't really give a justice to this place that is bigger and nicer that it appears on the photos. Also it is super clean, comfortable, quiet, and tastefully decorated. Am I posting my own inside photos? No because I was too busy running around taking pics of sunsets or resting comfortably on this ginormous bed...
This is a beautiful cottage just steps from the beach and the hosts David and Sabine are very gracious and ready to help you and/or answer any questions you might have. Because of the location and the hosts, my husband and I have now stayed here 3 years in a row and are anticipating a return trip very soon. We had so much fun, we hated to go back home and this felt like a second home to us.
I have stayed at this amazing cottage many times! The cottage is cozy and very comfortable! The fireplace is definitely a plus!There is always coffee, hot chocolate, water and snacks. Every detail has been attended to!I am looking forward to my next stay!
OMGosh! What a gem Captain Java’s cottage is. Everything about my stay was pure perfection. How could it be anything but perfection when falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the ocean. The cottage is adorable. Loved all the little details - so sweet. Very spacious and comfortable. I will most definitely be back. Thank you so much. PS. Parents/Grandparents of Cal Poly students, this is just 15 min from campus.

We absolutely loved this place. It was just what we needed, clean, quiet, perfect for 2.
We had a wonderful stay at this quaint cottage. We were literally steps away from the beach! Great location and close to town! Owners were very helpful! Highly recommend!
Captain Java’s Cottage was exactly as described. Tucked in a beautiful neighborhood, a short walk to the beach and close to Morro Bay, Cayucos and Cambria. Every detail was thought through by the owners. Lovely decor, comfortable bed, very clean, large patio area for enjoying coffee or watching the sunset.
Clean and stocked with anything we could want or need during our stay. We were even offered early check in although our travel time prevented us from taking advantage. Check in process was a breeze and I would surely stay here again if we find ourselves in the area!
Perfect spot to stay in Morro Bay. Very close to the beach and easy access to downtown Morro Bay for restaurants. The studio was perfect for our short stay.
Second time I was able to stay here. Exactly as advertised and host has thought of everything to make the stay delightful. Even enjoyed the outdoor this time and always love the walks on the beach.
Our stay was short but very nice. Great shower pressure and temperature which after a LONG car ride is appreciated. Room is perfect for a quick stay for visiting the area.
Amenities were very nice.
We stayed here on our first visit to California. Relaxing cozy spot to use to go wine tasting in Paso Robles, driving up Hwy 1 for the gorgeous views and coming back to Morro Bay to walk the beach which is just a house away from Captain Java’s Cottage. So clean and inviting. Salina and Dave’s extras added to such a nice stay.
This location had a cottage fell. It was clean, private and just steps away from the ocean. The place had all the items in it that you may have forgot and more. Great location as it was close to hiking, fishing, wine tasting, walking on the beaches and more. I would definitely go back.
This place is better than the listing can even describe. The location is stellar: easy access to the main road, shopping and dining, but most important, a quick and easy walk to the beach.While the space encompasses just one room, the outdoor eating, sitting and washing area make it feel so much larger.The hosts are so thoughtful and supply everything you might forget. In addition, we were greeted with snacks and bubbly!
My wife and I had a great extended weekend at Captain Javas Cottage. The location is very close to the beach on a route frequented by many folks walking or riding bicycles. Very short drive to downtown Morro Bay or Cayucos. Cottage is stocked with all the necessities and the hosts are friendly and responsive. Definitely on the ‘would stay there again’ list!
