Such a lovely little place to stay. So much better than nearby hotels. Kitchen is fully functional with stove, oven, fridge, microwave, toaster, kitchen tools, plates, cups, glasses, pots, pans. This is our 2nd time staying here. The host is very responsive and checks in via messages to make sure all is well. The place is spotless! Parking is convenient. Great location. What else can I say? I’m so glad I found this place because we visit relatives often and previously always stayed in nearby hotels, which are nice, but can’t compare to this.

The location in Baywood is perfect! We have an electric vehicle and there are two new charging stations since the last time we stayed at one of the cottages. This made it easy to get to places nearby like: Montano de Oro, Cambria, Paso Robles for some wine tasting, and of course Morro Bay. The cottage had everything we needed coffee, creamer. The host was very communicative and attentive to our request. Check in and out was super easy. Would definitely stay he again.

The property was very clean and comfortable. It is a cottage, so it was small, but absolutely perfect for my needs. I found the property quite easily and really appreciated the dedicated parking for the unit I was using. Check in process was seamless. The host communicated all details in a timely fashion, and accessing the property was easy. The neighborhood was very nice with restaurants within walking distance. I would highly recommend this property for solo travelers and couples looking for a pleasant visit to Los Osos and the San Luis Obispo area.

Great Property for Family Fun

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!

This is our second stay in one of these cottages and we weren't disappointed. Big enough for all we needed, cute kitchenette where we fixed breakfast each day. Walking distance to several places and Monday farmers market. Quiet area, no loud noises while we were there. This will be our new go-to for our stays. Grounds are neatly kept with gorgeous succulents and plants.
