Have stayed here twice before and always enjoyed the place and location. We had a few issues with the property when we stayed last month a plumbing problem & some minor issues however they sent a plumber out right away& when I addressed the issues with property manager after our stay they were very responsive & were happy these issues where brought to their attention so I’m keeping the 5 stars just check & see if all was resolved.

A Quiet Paradise

This was our second time staying at Avila Valley House. A quiet refuge from the world, it's a lovely place to relax and unwind! The beach is minutes from the house, as is wine tasting and all the central coast has to offer.

Great Wedding Party Location

We had a small wedding party and loved the accommodations here. It had the perfect amount of rooms for us but also was a perfect size for us to be able to hang out with our other friends while in the area. Easy drive to Avilla or Downtown!

Cal-Poly Graduation Weekend

The Avila Valley House was just perfect for our family gathering to celebrate our grad! This space is beautiful inside & out. Well appointed & comfortable. Kitchen is well equipped. And the view from the patio…wow! Lauren is a super host. Easy communication. Highly recommend for a graduation or parents weekend or just to visit SLO!

Lovely property conveniently located in San Luis Obispo

Family Birthday celebration that couldn't be more perfect. While home was older, it was very clean, comfortable and relaxing for a party of 4. Adequate space in living room and dining area to visit/talk. Bedrooms/bathrooms comfortable. Property conveniently located between Avila Beach and Wine Tasting region. 80 y/o mother in-law very happy! Kitchen stocked and a mixture of old/new. Property Manager Lauren very accessible for questions etc. All around a lovely long weekend respite.

We stayed in Avila to attend the Good Vibes concert....The location of this house was perfect so close and easy access to town and beach. The house was so comfortable as well as well planned out. The detached bedroom was really great and perfect for my friends! I highly recommend it!

The property had no working water for 2 days. We contacted the property owner and manager and were fully refunded; we then had to find another place to stay and that was stressful. Would NOT recommend this property. It had not been aired out and smelled musty and old.

Lovely house with a great view

Loved the house and the location. Very nice patio area with a great view. Only suggestions are to get new cushions for the outdoor furniture (they’re flat and uncomfortable) and the kitchen didn’t have any dish towels. Will come again!

Peaceful and Private

This property was just about perfect for us. The three bedrooms were very separate and each had a bathroom. Living room was spacious although we spent most of the time on the patio around the fire pit or overlooking the valley below us. The kitchen was compact but had what we needed for our group. Owners were helpful at check-in and very responsive with any questions during our stay. Great place that we will return to in the future.

Beautiful, great views location

Cozy, nicely furnished home in an excellent location. Close to the beach and close to beautiful San Luis Obispo, a super cute walking town with great restaurants. Best of all, the house has awesome views from pretty much everywhere! We had wonderful times by the fire pit, though we ran out of gas the last night. And our bed had the best mattress. Totally recommend this great home. Few minor things could be improved, like hooks to hand towels in the bathroom, a thorough cleaning in the kitchen, but the overall experience was just great!

Secluded, serene, and peaceful

This is by far our favorite place we have stayed at in Avila. It is so relaxing and peaceful. The home is surrounded by nature and you feel far from the hustle of the city yet it’s a quick drive to the beach. The home has everything you need. It was clean and the beds were very comfy. The tree house room was perfect for my son and his girlfriend. The host was very attentive and would reply quickly. We look forward to staying again soon!

The location of the house is great and the communication with Lauren was excellent. The house was definitely older than we expected and not kept up very well… several things were broken and the house was incredibly hot (with no ac) and a lot of the windows didn’t open (or have screens) etc. We come to this area annually and chose this house primarily based on location. The location is excellent and outdoor patio is really nice and definitely has a wonderful breeze. Unfortunately, the house just trapped heat (and the fans provided no relief) and was not comfortable to sit in during the daytime. I’m surprised that this house has such good reviews but again it’s a great location and the communication was excellent. I’m sure it couldn’t be enjoyable for some people, especially in a different time of the year, but it ended up not being a good fit for us.

Wonderful Find

We have been coming to the Central coast for a large gathering every summer for years & usually get a VRBO for our stay. This one was the best of the lot…a beautiful place inside & out, better than the pics! We also enjoyed the outdoor companion kitty that showed up every time we came back. We’ll be back next year. Two suggestions: a lighter weight blanket for summer…(the comforter was too warm) also more coffee mugs. Thanks for a great visit!
