About this property
SHARI'S PLACE - UNEXPECTED CHARM; STAND-ALONE COTTAGE
NEW - Refurbished patio and yard with extra seating (see photos). This adorable cozy, stand alone home is quiet with unusual items that you will not see in other vacation rentals. **There is no longer a gas "stove" in the kitchen** We have substituted a new Air Fryer, two burner gas stove top and a large electric skillet. Our guests are amazed that we provide literally everything you may need or want. "Margarita" is conveniently located in the middle of our fabulous San Luis Obispo County wine country. Just 10 minutes to San Luis Obispo on the South bound HWY 101 and 20 minutes to Paso Robles on North bound HWY 101. This home is very close to town and a wonderful place for walking. In town, you will find Ancient Peaks wine tasting and across the street is Santa Margarita Adventures for Zip lining and tours. I do my best to keep my house extremely clean and well maintained and very well equipped. Linens are professionally cleaned and ironed. I personally make sure that all all linens are in top condition for your comfort. Our home is powered by solar! ALWAYS DOING OUR BEST FOR YOUR BEST EXPERIENCE.

About the host
Hosted by Shari Bone, 805-471-9184, Tim Bone 805-471-5318
I have managed vacation rentals throughout my real estate career from which I am now retired. I love my little house, making it as comfortable as possible, and furnishing it with whimsy and quality. I hope you you are as comfortable there as I am.
NEW ITEMS: ALL NEW WINDOW COVERINGS, BETTER WI-FI, NEW SET OF SHEETS, NEW HALL CLOSET AND QUARTZ COUNTERS. FYI - The power went out yesterday, but our vacation rental had power because of our solar program with battery backup!!!
Why they chose this property
My husband purchased this property in 1982. Many things have happened between then and now, but it's our favorite house - loving it more than our residence next door! The front house was built by a carpenter. The back house was originally a garage and has expanded and improved throughout the years.
What makes this property unique
Cozy, comfortable, nice size rooms, storage, separate laundry room and you cannot help but feel a specialness while you are here. We are unique in that I think we are the only one bedroom in town and I will bet it is the cleanest! I actually use your cleaning fee to pay my excellent cleaners - and then, I look at it again and again.
In the living room you will find a new GOOD QUALITY sofa with a pull out standard bed. No middle bar and a comfortable, good mattress.
