About this property

Millie's Baywood Place - 30 day minimum

In a quiet corner of Baywood Park sits a cozy home near many prime Central Coast attractions such as, Edna Valley and Paso Robles vineyards, the ocean side cliffs and mountain vistas, and close to Montana de Oro State Park, the miniature old trees and board walk in the Elfin Forest, an Audubon overlook, San Luis Obispo, Cambria, Hearst Castle, fishing, kayaking to the sand spit or along the bay and harbor, walking the quiet neighborhood streets and the many local trails, etc. The cottage is located across the street from the Morro Bay estuary with access just a few feet away. It's a short walk to old downtown Baywood Park with its Ale House, fresh bakery, farmers market, cafes and fine dining. For shopping enthusiasts, spend a day in Cambria or San Luis Obispo, which are a short drive away and support thriving restaurants and stores. Rent this home with a sense of humor as a giant rooster sits in the front yard ready to do battle with the bronze Los Osos bear next door. Wild flowers fill the yard in the spring. It's a restful and restorative location that has served us well for many years.

After WWII, my Aunt Millie (a nurse during the war in the Pacific) moved an 800 square foot cottage down to the waterfront, pioneering the community of Baywood Park. She placed her home in the middle of sand dunes across from the estuary and had the help of my grandfather and uncle making a gem of a cottage. Aunt Millie's great nephew built the central enjoyable feature of the home - the wood deck overlooking the bay. This is the favorite feature of the home for outdoor living. It overlooks the estuary, the changing tides and comings and goings of a great many birds. During the migratory season, wake up to the cooing of the birds on the bay.

Quiet, peaceful, beautiful view
Millie’s place is a slice of heaven. We enjoyed watching the tide go in and out of the estuary. It was like experiencing the earth breathe. Rainbows on the water after the rain. The dog walkers daily on their way to the Audubon lookout and the complete absence of streetlights that make stargazing from the deck on clear nights possible. Comfortable well-stocked vintage cottage. Staying here has been restorative. Paula and Steve are wonderful hosts. We look forward to returning.

Tranquil Retreat with Amazing Views!
Millie's Place is a fun, eclectic and comfortable place for a vacation. We appreciated the space of two bedrooms (using one for an office) and the sunroom was great for an afternoon read. The highlight for us was the expansive deck with views of the estuary, the wildlife, and dramatic Hollister Peak. It's an easy walk to Baywood for the Farmer's Market (wonderful!), coffee cafe, restaurants and brewery. All in all, Millie's Place is a tranquil retreat that we would happily stay at again.

Peaceful
Lovely time, lovely space with lots of ambient light. Outside deck was my favorite with area for privacy or being in the open to say hello to dog walkers. Hosts were friendly and available for questions. Wonderful neighborhood. Hope to stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Steve and Paula

Host profile image
With our professional lives behind us, we have time to enjoy the outdoors and love this area. We are California natives and have spent our lives in Southern California. Steve was in graphics and marketing and I was a physical therapist for 40+ years. When enjoying our home we spend much of our time on the deck, walking, reading and watching the birds.

Why they chose this property

This property was created by my Aunt Millie after she returned from WWII as a nurse. It has been in the family ever since. When she first bought the property it was rolling sand dunes. Now the area is developed into a peaceful community by the bay. Over the years, many family members have lived here and enjoyed the beauty around them.

What makes this property unique

The peacefulness and beauty of the area keep us coming back. We like the ever-changing character of the back bay as the tide comes in and out. The varying flocks of birds that change through the seasons is delightful and waking up the sounds of the birds is lovely. Stepping off the deck is a short walk to an Audubon overlook, bakery, restaurants and brew house. We especially love the farmer's market on Monday afternoons 2 blocks away. This home has been set up as a one bedroom house with an office (desk supplied) in the adjacent room.
