About this property

Exquisite Cottage, Private Gardens, Walk To Bay

Located it heavenly and largely undiscovered Baywood Park. Surrounded by natural wonder. Morro Bay and estuary. State parks. Walk to dinner, breakfast, kayak, nap in the garden. Designed and decorated with attention to detail, comfort, and esthetics. A real getaway. New king size bed, now with cool-tempur like foam pad and a full size fold out futon, gas stove heater, capable kitchen, claw foot tub and shower. Relax on the outdoor chaise lounges and watch the birds flit in and out of the garden. Stroll down to the bay, 1/2 a block away on one side. Discover what we found 10 years ago. A treasure on the central coast.

Cozy & Very Comfortable

Loved our stay at the cottage. It's very clean and comfortable. Bonus is it's only a few blocks from the bay and a handful restaurants. Best sandwiches at High St Deli. Montana de Oro is a quick drive with lots of great outdoor spaces in the vicinity. We loved having a proper coffee maker and a clawfoot tub to soak in after our hikes. Highly recommend the small but mighty Farmers Market on Mondays. Brian was very responsive. The central coast is so peaceful and beautiful. Hope to come back very soon. soak in after spending the dhiking.

Serenity Full Rest

I fell hard for this perfect little relaxing bungalow, it was so well stocked that there was nothing I needed. It changed my whole usually frenetic pace, and made me breathe it in. If that quiet kind of solitude and restorative atmosphere is what you seek, these owners have thought of every little thing to guide you to a better perspective! This will be my muse for how I want to approach whatever comes next. A heartfelt and grateful thank you to these owners for creating and maintaining so lovingly this gem and itā€™s many details,

Very comfy little abode!

We were in SLO for a quick weekend trip, and couldnt have asked for a better place to stay. It is very clean, comfortable and way better than a hotel. We were able to walk down to the local pizza place, which is amazing, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. We would absstay here again! My wife said it was "and adorable storybook

Fantastic getaway

Great neighborhood with friendly neighbors. Going on a neighborhood walk in the morning gets you lots of friendly hellos, coffee shop and wildlife preserve all just a short walk. Property was clean with a well equipped kitchen. Beautiful garden, and lots of places to lay around and read a book. Not ideal if you want to be completely secluded, as you are in a backyard surrounded by other people doing yard work or talking on the phone, but itā€™s super peaceful.

Cottage

The building itself was sweet and cozy for me. Even though it is tucked behind a house, window coverings are a must to feel a sense of privacy. The property in front of this cottage is a rundown mess. I didnā€™t feel like I was staying somewhere decent. Itā€™s not right for everyone

Cute courtyard; quiet setting; cozy -- however, the heat source wasn't working and it was cold in the cottage. A plus for the comfy bed, nice new BBQ and various appliances.

Cute With Surprises

The garden is peaceful and inviting, the cottage clean and accurate to the description. But, itā€™s a bonus when the water pressure in the shower is beyond expectations, AND the host has provided primo toilet paper (not the cheap stuff). Lovely property.

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.
