Finally, guests of Baywood Cottage are welcome to use the onsite laundromat, which is also regularly used by locals.

Anniversary getaway

We had a great time, our Son book this for use. The property had everything you need. The bed was very comfortable, kitchen was well stocked. The car charger was a big plus when we arrived we were at 20% in the next morning we were fully charged. Two things that need attention are, there was a little mold around bottom of shower, also there no way to watch local news or channels there blocked. We would definitely stay again!!

We have stayed here before and enjoyed it. Very conveniently located by Montana De Oro, Los Osos, and Morro Bay Rock. We like going up to Cambria and walking Moonstone. Can't be the price and the managers always provide info in a prompt manner.

Cute cottage!

The cottage is small but perfect for the 2 of us plus one dog! They DID have one luggage rack and an entire closet with hangers, which we appreciated because we were there for 4 nights. The neighborhood is VERY friendly! The walk to the bay was only 8 minutes with a pooch who smells everything. Great pub {Beerwood?} with good food, great coffee shop, Thai food. We missed the bakery behind us because it's only open Fri-Monday. Short drive to Montana de Oro and Morro Bay. We loved it and will stay here if we get to return. I brought extra kitchen towels but prob didn't need them.
