Lovely day at Morro Bay with this boat ride being a real highlight. We had a group of 10 (including…read more2 children) and there was plenty of space on the boat. We had a morning rental for 2 hours, which I think was more than enough to make a few loops around the bay. The staff member was very courteous and thorough with taking us through how to operate the boat, restrictions on where to go, and making sure we had everything (even provided blankets since it was an overcast day). The boat is easy to handle, and it's pretty easy to follow where you're allowed to go. We saw plenty of wildlife - sea lions, birds, and best of all otters, including a mom and her pup swimming exactly at the boat dock. There is street parking right in front, and a hotel bathroom in the same building. They also provide binoculars for close up viewing. A good way to explore more of Morro Bay!

It was okay. Didn't rent a boat so I have nothing to say about that. We did bring a Blackstone and that was fun. Cooked just about everything on it, including some awesome breakfasts. Got to see more of the fam than per usual. Group site had a number of tables but not much shade so be careful. One nice part was that it was farther away from most other sites.

Although it wasn't an ideal time for whale watching he took us out 7 miles from the coast & we saw 2 gray whales & plenty of pods of dolphins. On the way back to the marina the wind picked up & we were cruising at 8 knots & the front of the boat dipped in the water. It was exciting & thrilling. This was the highlight of this trip to the central coast. Captain Kevin is awesome & we can't wait to see him again when the peak whale season starts.

True to it's name, if you have the cash you have a seat. To begin your voyage you and your group gather outside Captain Stew's office on the wharf. For all intents and purposes his office is really just a door with a grease penned phone number on it. Apparently you call the number and some person tells you to wait for the boat to show up. We just waited outside his door and walked right on board when he landed at the dock. No reservation needed. The tour is about 45 minutes, blankets and binoculars are there for your use. The captain does a good job with facts about the bay while trying his best not to hit the many kayaks that are tootling around. You'll probably see at least fifty sea otters as they're everywhere in the Bay. There's one other stop the boat makes on this trip and that's to pick up more/drop off passengers on the other end of the wharf. - Kids get a free stuffed fish - Yes, that's a Budweiser sign above the Captain's office door.. - There are several negative reviews for this tour, mostly along the lines of cancelled reservations. Look, would you trust a pirate with a reservation? Probably not, so just show up and if he's sailing that day have fun...If not, there are other outfits you can check out.. -Recommended

From the start, the staff was friendly, helpful, and attentive. The manager, Layla, personally greeted us at check in and gave us a lot of great advice for the local area (where to eat, rent boats, etc). Whenever we stopped by the main office on our way in or out, she remembered my name and checked in to make sure everything was going great. We didn't run into any real issues, but I could tell they would have diligently solved them. Once we got to the cabin, the breathtaking view of the lake from the cabin and balconies was so serene. There was even a little private beach (only about 20 feet long) which we share with a few of our resort neighbors but was mostly empty. Perfect to dip our feet in the water and jump on the boogie board -- literally 2 minute walk from our balcony. The food options are a little limited, but the remote nature is one of the perks of this place, so I can't complain. What I ate from the local pizza joint and grocery was all tasty. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking and eating utensils so you could definitely take care of yourself with ease. The beds were comfortable and AC strong (both musts for me). Overall I can't really think of anything I'd change. Except maybe staying 2 nights longer.

This trip was a huge disappointment. When we got to the cottage, there were several things that were missing and of course there's no cell service so you have no way of contacting anyone to tell them about it. The worst part was the general store was closed for two days in a row, which is unacceptable. They should've told every single person entering at the gate that the store would be closed. Who does inventory in the height of the season? We had to drive to the store down the hill outside of the resort to get more ice, etc Since we got cell service down the hill, I called and told them what was missing and I never heard back. To top it off, the boat slip that we were given had another boat in it. Next year when we go to Lake Nacimiento, we will be renting an Airbnb and save ourselves a big headache! The only reason I'm giving two stars instead of one is because they put the fire pit on the grassy area with pavers around it, which was a huge improvement and got a new barbecue so you could cook everything at the one time.
