Although it was a little strange having to go behind someone's home to get to the cottage our stay was quiet and relaxing. It is completely secluded and enjoyed the sound from the backyard chickens. Felt a little bad the morning we left though because we had to leave at 2:30 in the morning so my husband could make it to a fishing trip in Ventura at 6:30. Hope we didn't make too much noise.

The beach cottage was so cute and comfy! We had plenty of blankets and pillows. The Mountain View from inside the cottage was great! We sat outside on the lounges drinking wine and relaxing! The small little kitchen had everything we needed. We loved all the cute decor and charm. Although you’re essentially in the far backyard of the main house you would never know it! We loved it! Ps super clean!!

The space was perfect for 2 people. The space felt warm and inviting. The outdoor space was nice to have a quiet dinner. The neighborhood was quiet and within a 5 min walk were restaurants and a quiet pier to watch the sunset and wildlife.

We enjoyed staying in this area with its easy access to Baywood Park's little downtown. Park the car and walk to dinner. Stop at one of the numerous little libraries and pickup something to read. The cottage is tucked behind a home. It's small but adequate for up to 3 and easily accommodates indoor/outdoor. Don't bring a lot of luggage! We ate meals and enjoyed beverages in the garden. The owner's chickens make delightful background sounds and it is charming and peaceful. The kitchen is a bit makeshift but more than adequate for a simple meal. 2 small issues. The mini fridge/freezer isn't great for medications that require refrigeration. Put them in the bottom wrapped in paper towels. I also recommend owners add a step stool for us short folks as glassware on top shelf was needed and very hard for us to reach. I would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Brian Mann

Host profile image
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.

Why they chose this property

Close, easy stroll, to the little village downtown of Baywood Park, close to the Bay on both sides. A quiet street, with wonderful neighbors.

What makes this property unique

Affordable and beautiful getaway.
