The space This has been a local favorite studio ("The Tree House") in the oaks for our family and friends for many years. Walk four blocks to the beach and partake in the Friday Night Fisherman and Farmer's Market (4 to 8 pm, April through September) for plenty of food, happy taverns, wine tasting, entertainment, and dancing at the beach. Private deck and secure covered carport parking. The main bedroom has a queen bed, kitchenette, and bathroom. The entrance room has a single bed/sitting spot and a TV with a privacy curtain between the two rooms. The bathroom is small, especially the shower, but larger than an RV bathroom. Close by great restaurants, happy taverns, and wine tasting, the best beach on the coast, active marine life (sea otters, harbor seals, and sea lions) up close and personal, with several scenic hiking/walking trails at all levels of difficulty nearby. The host will have suggestions with hand-drawn maps for great things to do and visit from Monterey to Santa Barbara that only locals know about if interested. There are 34 stairs to climb. We also have our home, "Mid-Century Design close to downtown" in San Luis Obispo with Vrbo and our new listing "Avila Beach amongst the oaks, Ocean 5-minute walk". The creek is across a street which on weekends can be busy with traffic. The Treehouse is on a steep slope with a Tri-plex above that includes another Vrbo rental and a duplex below with very minimal interaction with the tenants.
Guest access You will be given a key and a showing of the Tree House upon arrival. You will just need to leave the key on the table and turn off all electricity when you depart. There are 34 stairs to climb at the private entrance which are well lighted with motion sensors at night. The way to the beach is along Avila Beach Dr. which can be busy especially during the summer or across the creek along the golf course. Relax on your private deck under the Live Oaks.
Other things to note Rent kayak/paddle board at the third pier along with zodiac and sailing tours of the Bay which include whale watching. Visit Port San Luis Lighthouse, especially by kayak, and take advantage of what our neat beach town has to offer plus maybe a round of golf and watch the abundant seals, sea otters, and sea lions up close and personable at the Port San Luis pier, walk the Bob Jones Trail and along the long beach front. Again, this is an official SLO County vacation rental (6003730) and the Transient Occupancy & Tourist Bureau Taxes (13.5%) will be collected by Vrbo and passed onto the County but we have compensated you by reducing our base price. So no change in the total price.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

What an absolutely lovely stay. John greeted us and got us settled. 15ish minute walk to the beach. 15ish minute drive to downtown. Wonderful experience, highly recommend and will definitely be back!
Lovely, comfortable stay very near Avila Beach!Our host John was very friendly and knowledgeable; he had lots of suggestions of things to do/places to eat and even provided beach gear
John was a wonderful host and had a lot of great local information for those that want help planning their trip as far as local restaurants and places to see. It's a very cozy, but cute place and highly recommended!

Chad and Sherry were delightful and beautiful guests. They had a good time at the beach and exploring the spectacular Central Coast. They left the rooms in great shape and are always welcome back.
I absolutely loved my stay at the treehouse! Very peaceful, clean, cozy, and comfortable. The Property and Avila Beach are absolutely beautiful. I can’t wait to go back!
Thanks, Ron, for staying in our little beach town. I hope you took home some great memories of your time on the spectacular California Central Coast. Also, thanks for leaving the Treehouse in great shape. Come on back because there are still a lot of things to do here that are left undone. The 34 stairs, I guess, come with the territory for a treehouse completely covered with a mature Live Oak tree canopy. Cheers, John
This was an amazing stay! John was a great host and was so helpful with recommendations for the area. The treehouse was super cute and relaxing. Perfect little place to relax and enjoy the views and bird sounds. I will definitely be staying here again in the future.
This tree-house is a must if you haven't stayed in tree-houses before. We arrived very late in the night but the host graciously waited for our arrivals and also helped with our bags up the staircases. The bathroom door is loose and due to the natural slant of the tree house, doesnt close properly but everything else was perfect. The location is great - the Pismo beach boardwalk isn't far. It's a great place to stop at, if you are driving down from SF to LA.
It's a beautiful place, it has a comfortable bed, and the host was great. Plenty of great suggestions for things to do and where to eat. I would stay here again.
