This is a 2400 square foot two story house. Downstairs you'll find: 1 cozy living room with sofa, chairs, bookshelf, TV, board games and fireplace 1 large fully-equipped kitchen/dining room with gas stove/oven, microwave, dish washer, and refrigerator 1 art studio/yoga room (very open, light and airy; we use it for yoga but if you want to use it for yoga you need to bring your own mats and equipment). This studio has a little couch that folds out to a double bed. Sheets are in a box underneath. It can fit two children or one adult. 1 spare room downstairs that could be used as an office/extra living room 1 walk in pantry and laundry room with washer and dryer (clothes line outside too for the eco-friendly) Half bathroom with sink and toilet with bidet
Upstairs: 1 large master bedroom with a California king size bed and a single bed (behind a privacy curtain) and private bathroom 3 regular bedrooms (two rooms have double beds and one room has a queen size bed) – these 3 bedrooms share 1 bathroom with a shower/tub combo in the hall
Outside: Front porch A fenced in grassy backyard has a garden shed and the beautiful pizza oven and bbq (fee for use of pizza oven)
To note: There is a large garden, 25 fruit trees, and a chicken coop in the far back of the property where we have our tiny house. This area is NOT included in the rental. If nobody is staying out there then someone will be coming to the property daily to feed the animals. We use the side entrance to this space and will never be entering the house or private backyard while you are renting. The driveway is shared and we will walk along the far edge of the driveway to enter the back through the side gate.
An outdoor cat, Felix, will often come to say hi. He LOVES attention! If you're highly allergic to cats, our house is not be a good fit. This is our family home and I often let the cat in when I'm home.
All bedrooms are upstairs.
Guests do not have access to the garage, locked office and garden shed (locked). The back part of our property is private, delineated by fences. Large bushes grow all along the backyard which you are renting so it is very private.
If we are close by, we're happy to meet you and show you around the house, if you prefer. Sometimes we are traveling but are available via messaging. A property caretaker lives just 2 miles away but sometimes we are working just at the back of the property, ready to answer any questions you may have!

Thank for your kind review! We’re glad you enjoyed our home! And thank you so much for leaving it so tidy on your departure…sooo nice to come home to!
We had a lovely and comfortable weekend at Cindy’s personal home. Cindy was great and easy to work with. Felix the cat was a hit with my young girls. We love animals so we welcomed him in and enjoyed his very social and sweet demeanor.

So happy you enjoyed our home but even happier that you shared some love with Felix! Thank you for choosing our home!
The roperty is so nice - everything you could possibly need in the kitchen, very cozy, and very nicely located for all the area activities. We brought our dog and there was a nice backyard area for her. Felix the cat was so friendly and everyone enjoyed spending time with him. I would be happy to stay here again.
Cool vibes all around at this cute and artsy home! The family room was a nice hangout area. The back yard was pleasant. We even hung out with Felix the cat. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable.
The house was perfect for our group of 8 friends. It’s located in a quiet neighborhood and was beautifully decorated. We really felt at home! Cindy was easy to communicate with and answered all of our questions quickly!
We had a very nice time in this home and fell in love with the village of Arroyo Grande. The host was very responsive. We enjoyed using the pizza oven outside.
It was one of the best getaways I have stayed at. They have a cute cat which is very fun to be with. Interiors and cleanliness of the house was exceeding the expectations. Great collection of games and kitchen sets. I would love to visit this anytime again.
The house was in a perfect quiet location. We do an annual family vacation with our friends and there’s was more than enough room for the 6 of us. Cindy was a super friendly host and easy to get a hold of. We gave it thier outdoor wood fired pizza oven a try and the crust came out crisp and perfect. Close to the dunes, Pismo beach and other fun locations. If you ask my 5 year old, Felix the cat was the best part of vacation.
Very welcoming atmosphere. The eclectic artistic Style was wonderful to observe and explore. The home showed the love of the family that lives there. Thank you for opening your home to us on our travels through California.
The hosts were very accessible and hospitable. They invited us to use their things. It felt like staying at the house of friends. The house was spacious enough for our large family. The backyard was a nice place to be outside. We enjoyed Thanksgiving meal there. It was accessible to local beaches and quaint shops!
I loved the house, it’s very unique and eclectic. Also very spacious which was also nice given the number of people it sleeps. It has a beautiful backyard, great for hanging out outside. I really appreciate all the amenities, the comforts of being in a home that were available to us. Super plus is that it was also kid friendly; lots of fun board games, books, even some Imaginative play items were there that we had a ton of fun with in our downtime from going out and about. Highly recommend a stay here.
The house and amenities were what we had expected and worked really well for our multi-generational families. We had some small hiccups, but prompt communication with the owner made these things a non-issue and let us enjoy our vacation. I would highly recommend this VRBO and wouldn't hesitate to book this property again.
I am a Californian through and through, born and raised right here on the Central Coast. I love these hills and coast and can recommend hiking trails, restaurants and the best beaches. I am passionate about traveling and understanding people. I speak English, Spanish, French and limited American Sign Language. My husband speaks fluent English, French and Portuguese.
