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!

Excellent getaway spot
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.

Baywood Park is a hidden gem
Property is located in a very central area of Baywood Park. We enjoyed great Thai food, live music at the Merrymaker bar and beautiful walks along the bay. The accommodations were clean, spacious enough for 2 adults and a small dog. Kitchenette was a nice to have feature. The Host was very responsive to any questions. Would recommend to anyone visiting this area.

Cute Little Studio
Baywood is an eclectic little community with fun casual bars, cafe, and meeting spots and a very nice French restaurant. The studio is steps from the end of the bay, and short drive to beaches and parks. The whole area is dog and family friendly. People are very friendly-good conversation wherever we went. We had a great time. Particularly loved off-leach beaches!!
The unit was spotlessly clean; the rental agency responsive. Parking and EV charger adjacent to the unit.
Only negative is seating could be more comfortable when it’s too cold and foggy to be outside in the evening. Otherwise highly recommend.

Loved staying in the fun little town of Los Osos. Beautiful weather, friendly people. But the best part were my accommodations. Love this charming cottage. So comfortable and had all the necessary amenities. Walking distance from the bay and shops and restaurants. Next time I’m bringing my doggies!

Great stay right in central Los Osos /Baywood
The place was a advertised. It was clean, comfortable and in a great location. The units appear to have been renovated in the recent past and have good lighting and fresh finishes. My only critique is that the kitchen and cooking equipment is a bit on the sparse side and minimal. If one likes to prep meals its a bit limiting. The addition of a cast-iron skillet would be a big plus. The non-stick cooking utensils are a bit worn with the non-stick deteriorating. A second cutting board would also be greatly appreciated. Other than the cooking gear the place is great! We would stay there again and most likely will.

Very cozy
My partner and I stayed here for one day and two nights with our dog.
This studio was perfect for us. It was clean and generally well laid out.
The bed and pillows were also very very comfortable.
Our dog has severe allergies. He's even allergic to harsh chemical floor cleaners, so we asked if they would be willing to mop the floors with vinegar and water before we showed up and they said they would.
The only feedback I could provide would be to add some shelves in the bathroom for guests to place their toiletry bags on. We were using the toilet tank which was a bit of a risk...lol
