Over the last eleven years we’ve arranged medium- and long-term rentals for twelve Homeaway/VRBO accommodations. Our seven-week rental of “Millie’s Place” in Los Osos was very special in every way: view out front windows; light streaming in from every window; comfort and roominess; furnishings and art; kitchen fully supplied with cookware and staples like no other rental we’ve ever had; linens and towels the same; wifi without a hiccup. The location on the estuary is very special as well, and close-by there is convenient shopping, a bakery beyond compare, a weekly farmer’s market, and several cafes and restaurants. The surrounding area is extraordinary for walks, hikes, bird watching, drives along the coast, through valleys, over mountains. Natural beauties nearby include reserves, rookeries, and state parks, especially the beautiful and varied Montana de Oro State Park. All this with lively coastal towns north and south and inland San Luis Obispo, Atascadero, and Paso Robles for “urban” visits not far away. Central California at its most attractive. Something which made our stay more than just a lovely place and area was that all of our exchanges and times with Paula and Steve Koch were as pleasant as any could be. They so understanding and thoughtful, too, to accommodate us because of a necessary change of plans of ours due to Covid. It was a wonderful experience in all ways!
