Avila Valley House

Based at the entrance of See Canyon, overlooking Avila Valley and only 2 miles to Avila Beach. This wonderful home offers privacy, incredible views and peaceful nature vibes. The location is one of the best in the county, with a unique microclimate that folds the fresh ocean air into the warm valley heat. Nestled near Pismo beach, Morro Bay, San Luis Obispo and Edna Valley, it's just a short drive to wine tasting, kayaking or exploring farmers market. The house was built in the 1950's and has been updated respectively to preserve it's character. It offers three bedrooms and three bathroom. One of the bedrooms/bathrooms is located in a detached unit 20 steps from the main house, we've dubbed "The Tree House" bedroom. All bedrooms are connected to a bathroom for additional privacy. The house offers a very nice outdoor seating area and a barbecue for outdoor cooking. Sleeps 6 comfortably, up to 8 with children.
The vacation home features 3 bathrooms and space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. The vacation home also includes a washing machine.

Lovely property conveniently located in San Luis Obispo

Family Birthday celebration that couldn't be more perfect. While home was older, it was very clean, comfortable and relaxing for a party of 4. Adequate space in living room and dining area to visit/talk. Bedrooms/bathrooms comfortable. Property conveniently located between Avila Beach and Wine Tasting region. 80 y/o mother in-law very happy! Kitchen stocked and a mixture of old/new. Property Manager Lauren very accessible for questions etc. All around a lovely long weekend respite.

A Quiet Paradise

This was our second time staying at Avila Valley House. A quiet refuge from the world, it's a lovely place to relax and unwind! The beach is minutes from the house, as is wine tasting and all the central coast has to offer.

Peaceful and Private

This property was just about perfect for us. The three bedrooms were very separate and each had a bathroom. Living room was spacious although we spent most of the time on the patio around the fire pit or overlooking the valley below us. The kitchen was compact but had what we needed for our group. Owners were helpful at check-in and very responsive with any questions during our stay. Great place that we will return to in the future.

Beautiful, great views location

Cozy, nicely furnished home in an excellent location. Close to the beach and close to beautiful San Luis Obispo, a super cute walking town with great restaurants. Best of all, the house has awesome views from pretty much everywhere! We had wonderful times by the fire pit, though we ran out of gas the last night. And our bed had the best mattress. Totally recommend this great home. Few minor things could be improved, like hooks to hand towels in the bathroom, a thorough cleaning in the kitchen, but the overall experience was just great!

Beautiful property

We spent 10 nights at the Avila Valley house, during which we were joined by our daughter, son-in-law and teenage grandson for 5 nights. The sleeping space with the separate studio was perfect for our needs. The location of the property is perfect, being close to the beach and15 minutes from shopping and dining in SLO. We also loved walking the Bob Jones trail just down the hill, followed by lunch at the market. The view from the patio is breathtaking, so much so that it was wonderful just spending time at the house. The house itself was clean and nicely furnished, and beds were comfortable. The kitchen, while well equipped, was a bit small for a longer stay. Overall, a very enjoyable stay.

Wonderful Find

We have been coming to the Central coast for a large gathering every summer for years & usually get a VRBO for our stay. This one was the best of the lot…a beautiful place inside & out, better than the pics! We also enjoyed the outdoor companion kitty that showed up every time we came back. We’ll be back next year. Two suggestions: a lighter weight blanket for summer…(the comforter was too warm) also more coffee mugs. Thanks for a great visit!

Wedding Weekend

The reason for our stay was to attend a family wedding and related events over a July weekend. The Avila House was perfect for 6 adults and located close to the wedding venue (Chateau Noland), Avila Beach and downtown. Property was as advertised…and more! The only downside was the hot tub had been emptied - sadly but understandably due to liability. Check-in/Check-out process was easy and Lauren was readily available for any questions/concerns. THANK YOU for sharing this wonderful home/beautiful location! We’d happily re-book for any future stays in the SLO area!

Loved the house and the location. Very nice patio area with a great view. Only suggestions are to get new cushions for the outdoor furniture (they’re flat and uncomfortable) and the kitchen didn’t have any dish towels. Will come again!

Secluded, serene, and peaceful

This is by far our favorite place we have stayed at in Avila. It is so relaxing and peaceful. The home is surrounded by nature and you feel far from the hustle of the city yet it’s a quick drive to the beach. The home has everything you need. It was clean and the beds were very comfy. The tree house room was perfect for my son and his girlfriend. The host was very attentive and would reply quickly. We look forward to staying again soon!
