One of the few magic places left where time moves slowly, and
you're expected to also.
A guaranteed easy remedy for the fast lane.
Tiny Cayucos is a haven for surfers, fishing and water sports
enthusiasts. Yet, artists, beachcombers and city-dwellers escaping
from busy urban areas have fled to the Seaside Motel, for years.
Non-surfing visitors will find a host of antique shops, restaurants,
and taverns along the “old California” main street.
The long, uncluttered, white sandy beach is home to the Cayucos
pier—built in 1875—and beloved by sandcastle builders,
sunbathers, and romantics.
Our remedy for what ails most people is simple: at the Seaside
we recommend plenty of rest, strolls down long lovely beaches,
sampling of great food and fabulous local wines, and reading a
good book while the great Pacific Ocean is aflame with sunset colors
... especially during the fall and winter months. Explore wineries,
art galleries, Hearst Castle, Piedras Blancas Lighthouse, and leisurely
dine at local four-star restaurants or seaside cafés. Whatever
you need during your stay, we are always nearby to help and to
offer suggestions about wonderful, hidden-away places to explore.
Rick and Rebecca Roquet
Come. Stay with us!
“We have needed a restful vacation
like never before and this stay at your motel was beyond anything
we could have dreamed of. The sound of the ocean lulled us to sleep,
though the comfy beds and beautiful room didn't hurt. Your motel
is beautifully decorated, your garden phenomenal and your friendly
hospitality THE BEST! Thank you, thank you, thank you, for allowing
us to stay in such a fabulous place.”
The Rockeys - John, Barbara, Sarah, Susie
“Staying with Rick and Rebecca
is like visiting your favorite aunt and uncle, at their cozy cottage
by the beach. They couldn’t
be more helpful or gracious. They make us feel like royalty and we
return home feeling pampered. We look forward to our visits — the
Roquets help soothe our soul.”
The Mossmans - Barbara and Brian
“Cayucos has the charm of the old frontier
with the sophistication of fine restaurants and fabulous antique
shops. But it’s Rebecca and Rick who make our visits perfect,
again and again.”
The Phillips - Suzie and Geof
“It’s difficult to find the words to describe such a
great experience. Having been there once before,
it’s amazing to find that the second stay at the
Seaside just gets better! It is so cozy, comfortable
and charming, wonderfully decorated and Rick and
Rebecca ensure we had everything we needed.
Cayucos is fabulous and the motel is wonderfully
located, quick and easy to the beach, great shops
and fabulous restaurants. We’re already planning
our third visit.””
The Penningtons - Bob and Kay
“The Seaside Motel exceeded our expectations in terms of its
location, comfort and scenery. The owners anticipated everything we, as
guests, might need or want and the room — Rambling rose — was
exquisitely decorated and the bed was the most comfortable we’ve
ever slept on! Loved the changing tides, the shore birds, watching
the surfers, and Schooners Wharf makes the best Calamari ever!”
The Kingstons – Sally and George
“This is the fourth visit to the Seaside Motel and it was nothing
short of wonderful. Rick and Rebecca take such pride in their
tiny motel and it shows in how clean and well maintained the
property is. It’s nearly unbelievable that Rebecca does all the
gardening herself, plus maintain the rooms. Our first time here
was during the 4th of July, years ago, and the town was magical.”
The Martins – Paula and Steve
“This sweet little motel is everything it is advertised, and more! We
felt like we were welcomed like long lost friends and the time spent
with Becky and Rick was delightful. We highly recommend it to people
who want to visit the last of the California funky beach towns instead
of the polished, crowded towns in Southern California.”
The Torres – Michael and Jennifer
“Everything was accurate in the descriptions of the Seaside Motel, including the photos. What they don’t reflect is how immaculate the rooms are. Both Rick and Rebecca were available and helpful. My husband and I would recommend this motel to anyone wanting a restful and wonderful place along the central coast. We plan to revisit soon. For our anniversary we went to the Cass House, and what a treat that was!”
The Wrights – Jan and Dave
“'We love the Seaside Motel! It is so NOT like the sterile motel rooms of the big chains where you can predict what artwork will be in every room whether you’re in Chicago or San Francisco. At the Seaside Motel, every room is unique. Every time we visit, there is something new, whether it’s a new quilt or carpeting. And the garden…we just can’t say enough! Becky’s fingers are all green – all ten of them and the garden shows off her talents proudly.”
The Collins – Liam and Cynthia
