Nice cottage

This was a nice place, with a great patio/garden. My wife and I stayed and there was plenty of room for us. Great location near SLO, Morro Bay, a short walk to Los Osos coffee and cafes.

Wonderful area, very pretty cottage.

The area is stunning if you like to enjoy nature and its colors, the proximity of the ocean...Contrary to what we may have thought at first, there are definitely nice things to do in the area even in December. The cottage was perfect for what we needed. Some minor renovations here and there would most likely make it even better.

Beautiful Cottage in a perfect location for a central coast getaway

This was an awesome cottage; beautiful in furnishings, decorations and layout. Although this time of the year was chilly the home is very well insulated and kept us nice and warm. I didn't cook but the kitchen is complete with an outdoor BBQ as well! I had excellent correspondence with Thomas who was a wonderful and gracious host. Hope to visit again soon!

It was a good stay, however you need to be aware

1. There are NO window coverings - it can get very light in the early morning before 6:30 am and there is a sky light over the bed that lets in lots of light. 2. The claw foot bath sides are high and is difficult with lack of supports. 3. The left side light over the bed needs to be repair. 4. The TV needs repairing - the sound will work for 1 to 5 minutes then stops - to restore the sound you have to change the channel - wait 30 seconds then turn back to the original channel. Otherwise it was nice stay.

Small cozy space

My husband, son and I enjoyed the airy space at this little cottage. It was comfortable for us. My son is pretty easygoing and didn’t mind the foldout futon couch bed. The location of this place is perfectly located. We were running the Rock Around the Pier race in Morro Bay and were just a short 10 minutes from the race start location. The front porch area was great for relaxing after the race. Thanks so much Brian.

What is stunning little cottage! it comes with every amenity down to nail polish remover. We were so absolutely comfortable here and cannot wait to return.! The front of the property was a little lackluster, but the cottage is in the back and it is perfect. Thank you to our wonderful hosts!

Pleasantly surprised

A little concerned when we originally found the location. The cottage is located behind a rental house that could use some work. However, the cottage it’s self is charming, exceptionally clean and private (if you get past the fact that there are no window coverings). We enjoyed our stay and the convenience of being able to walk to the wonderful casual restaurants in Baywood Park.

Charming cottage near the bay

Very quiet, serene cottage. Loved its location in Baywood. Great neighborhood for walking. I felt very safe. Would love to visit this area again! As mentioned in a previous review, I would add curtains for privacy. Kudos to the family living in the front house. They were so quiet, I never even knew they were there! I would definitely recommend staying in this cottage.

About the host

Hosted by Brian Mann

Brian and Leslie fell in love with Baywood Park 11 years ago, when they happened upon this wonderful hidden gem. Nestled on a little peninsula jutting out into the tidal estuary at the south end of Morro Bay. Surrounded by state parks and with the sound of waves crashing in the distance, this has been our most cherished refuge and source of peace. We are so glad we can share a bit of this special place with our guests.
