In a quiet corner of Baywood Park sits a cozy home near many prime Central Coast attractions such as, Edna Valley and Paso Robles vineyards, the ocean side cliffs and mountain vistas, and close to Montana de Oro State Park, the miniature old trees and board walk in the Elfin Forest, an Audubon overlook, San Luis Obispo, Cambria, Hearst Castle, fishing, kayaking to the sand spit or along the bay and harbor, walking the quiet neighborhood streets and the many local trails, etc. The cottage is located across the street from the Morro Bay estuary with access just a few feet away. It's a short walk to old downtown Baywood Park with its Ale House, fresh bakery, farmers market, cafes and fine dining. For shopping enthusiasts, spend a day in Cambria or San Luis Obispo, which are a short drive away and support thriving restaurants and stores. Rent this home with a sense of humor as a giant rooster sits in the front yard ready to do battle with the bronze Los Osos bear next door. Wild flowers fill the yard in the spring. It's a restful and restorative location that has served us well for many years.
After WWII, my Aunt Millie (a nurse during the war in the Pacific) moved an 800 square foot cottage down to the waterfront, pioneering the community of Baywood Park. She placed her home in the middle of sand dunes across from the estuary and had the help of my grandfather and uncle making a gem of a cottage. Aunt Millie's great nephew built the central enjoyable feature of the home - the wood deck overlooking the bay. This is the favorite feature of the home for outdoor living. It overlooks the estuary, the changing tides and comings and goings of a great many birds. During the migratory season, wake up to the cooing of the birds on the bay.
