This house was just perfect for us! We were celebrating thanksgiving and my moms birthday. we had two families of 4, my mom and 2 dogs. We felt super comfortable! Lots of room inside the house and out! Closed in areas for dogs and kids to run! The pool table was a big hit with the teens! Kate was super responsive and very easy to work with. We would definitely come back again!
This home and property is simply amazing. The home is very accommodating as are the hosts. We had plenty of room and the best part was the privacy. Overlooking the hills and stargazing at night. Perfect for a family reunion!
Property was beautiful, clean and welcoming. It felt like home, even for our dog! Property manager was a text away and even delivered a night light so my mom could see in the middle of the night! If it is available, BOOK IT!
This is a very nice location if you want to have the peace and quiet of being out in the country but only minutes to downtown Atascadero. Clean, updated, good layout for larger group with the availability of adjacent casita if group size warrants it (perfect for a couple with a baby in your group). Safe, scenic location - just what we needed - a great value. Owner very responsive and easy to work with.
We spent 2 nights and enjoyed all the time spent at "Vista Santa Lucia". Lovely views from the back porch and plenty of space for our 3 adult couple and 1 dog party. Everything was in working order including BBQ and fireplace. We opted to add the extra unit to have an additional king bed and bathroom. Kate was easy to communicate with, always available and very accommodating. Less then 10 minutes to grocery stores and 30 easy minutes to Paso Robles. We would definitely stay at "Vista Santa Lucia" again! Thank you Kate!!
