“The Best, friendliest, most comfy motel in Cayucos!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 August 2010

I am so glad we were able to get a room at the Vagabond Inn (formerly the Beachwalker Inn) in Cayucos! My husband and his brother had a re-model to do in town and I was lucky enough to be able to go with them for two weeks and enjoy the coast for 2 weeks while they worked. I cannot say enough about the friendly staff of this gem, Ann Marie was especially helpful and nice, if I needed anything, she was right there. Carol was also friendly, as well as the owners Jay and Hersha. This is not your typical Vagabond Inn, each room is clean, large and roomy, and each room is painted and decorated differently with soft beach colors, wallpapers and charming decorations. You get the feel you are staying in a friends guest cottage. The continental breakfast has a nice variety of pastries, muffins, eggo waffles, cereals, fresh fruit, juice, coffee etc. There is also a nice flagstone patio area with tables, chairs, a gas fire pit and 2 propane BBQ's. Some rooms have views of the ocean as well. The motel is only one short block to the beach and there is a convenient laundromat next door. Cayucos is a wonderful laid back beach town with many antique shops and great places to eat! I highly recommend this motel and can't wait to come back again!

“Pleasant stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 April 2010

We stopped for the night during a sightseeing trip to the central coast. This was formerly the Beachwalker Inn and was apparently bought or franchised with Vagabond Inns. The room was nice and included a microwave, refrigerator and small gas fireplace. We sat out on the hotel's patio after dinner and sipped wine by a gas fire pit - a nice way to enjoy conversation and the starry night sky. The wireless high speed Internet worked great.

“The town is quiet, the room...Not so much.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 April 2010

My wife and I wanted a nice trip out of town with our Labrador. Found this place as a pet friendly hotel. First of all, the room was ok. Didn't smell like any other pets. And it wasn't that busy. However..

The wall heater made noises all night. The ceiling fan knocked when it was on. The walls, were paper thin. The drains hardly drained. Bed was hard as a rock.

So bottom line, I would never stay there again. It was nice cause it was close to what we wanted to do, but other than that, this hotel should be burned to the ground.

“Not the greatest place to stay...”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2009

The room lacked a sense of cleanliness, with litter visible on the furniture. There were unnecessary decorative items from many years ago which weren't maintained or cleaned, and made the place unwelcome. The outside of the room was not much better, with a torn carpet lining the hallway. The breakfast was less than appetizing with no protein options besides milk. The place was dark and uninviting, all in all, a poor value for our money.
