About the host
Hosted by Tim and Dana Seawell

Dana and Tim met at Cal Poly in 2015. The central coast has been our home for than 20 years and after a few years of living in beautiful San Luis Obispo, we decided to find something a little more rustic and a place that moves a little bit slower. Santa Margarita was the perfect choice for us to find some land, plant a garden and raise a family.
Why they chose this property
Nestled in hills of Santa Margarita and with a great view of the Santa Lucia mountain range, this is a place to relax and watch the world go by. With an easy 10 minute drive, you can be in the hustle and bustle of downtown San Luis Obispo (SLO) or a 20 minute drive north will bring you to wine country in Paso Robles. Multiple beaches from Pismo to Cayucos and beyond are not far away. There are also many hikes and lakes to enjoy.
If you don't plan on going anywhere, enjoy sitting on the front porch with a drink of choice and let the world melt away. We also have many games and activities as well as a hot tub and firepit in the back. The house has AC/Heat, great wifi and tons of options on the tv using Roku. The house is fully furnished and has just about everything you need to cook and barbecue.
We do reside on the property in a second home and respect boundaries and the experience is intimate and free of distractions.
