This little cabin was perfect for my stay. Clean and comfortable with a great kitchen bathroom and bed. The sheets were memorable for being so soft. If you want to stay in Baywood you wont be disappointed. One more thing they followed up to make sure everything was ok which I appreciated.

We have stayed at this place many times before and always like the convenience of the location. Amazing views of the water. It is rather small but works well short-term for two people. Well decorated and functional kitchen. We will stay there again next year.

Very cute cottages, unattached to any other dwelling. Comfortable bed, nice amenities, and great communication from the owner/property manager. Easy and convenient and nice. I would happily stay again.

Clean and comfortable. I was concerned when I learned its proximity to the town laundromat, but it wasn’t a problem at all. It was convenient to walk to groceries and entertainment. It was very quiet, except for when we carried on a bit at the baseball playoffs Would definitely recommend and would book again in similar circumstances.

These cottages are the best! This is our 3rd stay and each time fully enjoyed ourselves. Perfect kitchenette has all you need for light meals. Refrigerator keeps drinks and food cold and ready to use. Bed is comfy and spacious with enough bedding to stay warm or cool as you need. Property manager communicated with us before and during stay to make sure all was good. Located near several good spots to eat and good place to get a nice walk in. We'll be back soon!

These cozy cottages are very efficient, clean and quiet. The beds are extremely comfortable. Lots of room to relax in and an outdoor patio for meals or just to enjoy - complete with barbeque and outdoor lights. Walk to the bay and enjoy your surroundings. Laundry next door. We highly recommend the cottages for a truly unique experience.

We rented 3 side-by-side cottages for fun and relaxation in the Morro Bay area. The cottages are well-provisioned, easily accommodating three people each. A full kitchen, bathroom with shower, and a lovely patio is part of each cottage. Within walking distance are a park, a beach, a small grocery store, several restaurants and shops, and a laundromat. Nearby recreation includes hiking, kayaking, and beaches. These cottages helped to make a great vacation for our family!

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.
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!!
