Spacious contemporary compoound

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This expansive home has a large living room, a table to seat 12, a big kitchen, and plenty of parking. Yet there are nice nooks to relax and most bedrooms have private baths and patio spaces. So it's perfect for an extended family gathering. With two small children, we wanted the safety of NO pool, so that was a major factor in choosing this rental. The area has plenty of options for group outings along the coast, towns, and wine country.

There was a lot of space for 3 families- total of 6adults and 5 kids. The kitchen is very well equipped with all of the pans, appliances, 2 ovens and 2 dishwashers in the main house along with another full kitchen in the guest house. It’s an ideal location for Avila beach, Pismo Beach, and morro Bay.

The property was amazing, amenities were great and best of all the views were perfect! Reaching out to the property manager was slow response time and seemingly AI generated responses. But overall our stay was better than we could have imagined.

Thank you for the 5-star review! We’re so happy the stay was 'better than imagined.' I'm sorry our communication felt a bit 'robotic' and slow during your trip—I can promise you we are very much human! Your feedback is a great reminder for us to keep our interactions personal and timely.

Beautiful Setting for a Family Get Together

Our family had a great time at this property. It’s a beautiful house on a beautiful lot with great views. There’s some general maintenance that needs to be completed but it didn’t affect our stay.

Great place but needs some updates

This is a big property with several master suites and a huge kitchen. It has several outdoor seating areas and it’s very close to Avila and the beaches. We had a nice stay even though the property needs some updates.

Booked the property for a surprise gathering with friends and family for my wife. The property exceeded my expectations. The location being next to the freeway, stores, Pismo Beach, wineries, and restaurants. The layout of the property was great for my group of 15 and amenities were perfect. I didnt realize how spacious it would be especially in the kitchen. It was very clean, organized, well-maintained and elevated the experience for my 5-day trip. I ordered a private chef and they had more than enough room to cook and serve guests.The property manager provided communications accordingly when it came to arriving, using amenities, troubleshooting, and departure. Customer service was on point! I would highly recommend this to a friend, relative or anyone else wanting to visit. We enjoyed visiting places like Kelsey See Vineyards, Ventana Grill Restaurant, Eberle Vineyards and hiking at Black Hill.

Amazing Avila

We had an amazing time at Hope Ranch celebrating our son’s Cal Poly graduation with family. We loved the space and amenities and of course the views! We brought in dinner from Giuseppe’s and Taste and enjoyed eating at the dining table for 10. We loved the corn hole, ping pong and pool table, and awesome patio seating. Loved our time and owners were very communicative and accommodating.

Family getaway

We had a wonderful time staying at Hope Ranch. The house was very clean and had a well equipped kitchen (no spices but we always bring our own so it was fine). Some of the furniture is a bit tired but even that was no big deal…we had everything we needed and the furnishings suited our needs just fine. The location is wonderful, easy to hit Hwy 101 and the beach is very close by. There was excavation work in the neighborhood but if didn’t interrupt our sleep and was over early each day.

Family vacation to celebrate Papa

This home is great for multiple family members and ideally located off of the highway. We loved using the kitchen for all of our meals. We also used the grill and Loved having two dishwashers and ovens! The dining table was perfect for our group of 10. The grounds are beautiful and the kids loved riding their bikes on the huge driveway. Our only disappointment was no treadmill as stated in the listing. We highly recommend this beautiful home!!!

This was truly a special weekend that our group will always remember, and Hope Ranch played a massive role in that!

Great stay in SLO!

Rating Details: The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful time at the Hope Ranch at Avila Valley, we were originally looking at staying in Avila Beach, but due to some construction our plans changed, and I'm so glad we stayed here instead. The place was very well located off the high way, and we had easy access to Pismo Beach, Avila Beach, SLO downtown, and made it into Paso Robles one day and the location was much nicer than the beach itself. The place was huge, and there's a gorgeous view out of the master bedroom where we stayed, loved the large soaking tub that I used one night, and the kitchen was massive and freshly redone. There's a ton of outdoors space, and we sat outside with wine one night and just looked at the stars. The hosts were extremely responsive and helped us switch places when they found out about construction and overcame a huge amount of hurdles for us to do so. I can't believe how accommodating they were. While we didn't end up needing anything on property, they still checked in a couple times via text to make sure everything was good. Great experience!

Our Time at Hope Ranch

The house was big and spacious enough for our family. There were some items that needed repairs. Example: the fooz ball table had parts that kept falling off, there was a ceiling area in the pool room that had water damage (with part of the ceiling hanging down), we found a screw in the carpet along with a very sharp piece of metal (which was picked up and put up on the counter), we never could figure out how to turn on the outdoor string lights, one oven didn’t seem to work, and we never found the hiking trail on the property. Overall though, we had a great time celebrating an 80th birthday. The property’s location is very close and convenient to many favorite locations we like to visit in the SLO area.

Exquisite Dream Retreat

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My first thought was “can the home be as amazing as the pictures make it look?’ Well, the answer is yes, and it was even better in person. The property description was spot on regarding location, layout and amenities. But really the photos and description don’t do it justice. The place is even more beautiful once you are there. You have to walk around the property and take it all in to fully experience the beauty of the land and the ranch. When we arrived, the interior and exterior of the home was immaculately clean and beautifully furnished. Every bedroom had a unique and comfortable style. There was plenty for everyone to do - the kids enjoyed the pool table and ping pong table while the adults enjoyed walking the garden and tasting the area wines. While the location of the ranch is close to many excellent restaurant choices, we enjoyed cooking meals in the gorgeous and well-stocked kitchen. The owners/management company were very accommodating and quickly responded when we inquired about area attractions or where to find things in the home. The entire family had an amazing stay, and we will definitely be back.

On Thanksgiving Weekend, I Hope the 2 Ovens Work

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A beautiful location near Avila Beach with plenty of space and privacy. Our family rented this property on Thanksgiving Weekend to prepare a traditional Thanksgiving Meal together. The photos include pictures of a large kitchen with two ovens as well as a guest house with an additional oven. Unfortunately there were a number of maintenance issues and we had to contact property management because both oven doors were broken preventing the ovens to heat up to appropriate temperatures. The "solution" was to place an extra piece of moulding at a diagonal between the island and the oven doors. The outdoor string lights and fireplace didn't work as well as the keypad to the guest house for entry. The primary bedroom's HVAC unit either didn't work or didn't control the nest unit properly because the room was 54 degrees at night. There was a lot of damage to the ceilings in the game room and there were many light bulbs out in many of the rooms on the property. If the maintenance issues are resolved, I would be able to recommend this property to a friend.
