"There’s every chance you haven’t heard of Cayucos, California — and that’s half the appeal of the place. After all, it’s been decades since Malibu or the beach towns of Orange County felt like undiscovered territory. But here, a few minutes’ drive from San Luis Obispo, is exactly that: a California beach town that remains accessible, affordable, and blissfully underdeveloped. It’s here, a block and a half from the ocean, that you’ll find the Pacific Motel, where a local couple — a contractor and interior designer in their professional lives — have turned an unremarkable motel into an unforgettable seaside boutique hotel." - Tablet Hotels
