Welcome to Your Home by the Bay! Across the street from Cuesta Inlet and the Morro Bay Estuary, this two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home with bonus room sits in one of Cuesta-by-the-Sea's most desirable pockets. Upstairs the bright and open floor plan under clerestory windows flows through sliding glass doors to front and rear decks. A custom rail created by a local artist gives the front deck a unique, one of a kind accent. Sliding glass doors from the primary and guest bedrooms open onto a private backyard with low-maintenance landscaping. Remodeled in 2012 with oak and tile flooring, double-pane windows and sliders, and a gas fireplace insert, the home also features a full exterior repaint, new fascia board and back deck, recirculating hot water system, and newer roof. This home has been meticulously maintained throughout the years. Just minutes from Sea Pines Golf Course, Montaña de Oro State Park, Monarch Grove Elementary School, local restaurants, the Farmers Market, and Sweet Springs Nature Preserve. In late 2025, the community rallied to permanently protect the adjacent 13-acre Cuesta Inlet, keeping it open to the public for generations to come. Paddlers can launch right from the inlet for easy kayaking and paddle-boarding in the bay, while nature lovers will enjoy the many nearby birding and outdoor recreation opportunities.
