About this property

Enjoy the big ocean views, hear the waves crashing, enjoy the coastal vibe.

Newly renovated in 2015, we took the beach house from the 50's and brought it into the new century. Torn down to studs, everything is brand new with all of the great upgrades including quartzite counter-tops, all new appliances, new cabinets throughout, solid wood doors, cool flooring, awesome lighting fixtures, ETC.

My favorite place is the large covered deck overlooking the ocean. You can hear the sounds, smell the mist and enjoy the views of this one of a kind California Cove called Avila Beach. If you have been here before, you will not believe the transformation. Super clean and comfortable for up to 6 people.

We are only a few blocks from all of the Avila downtown action, yet we are still out of the crowds and commotion. Great for relaxing when you want to chill at the house, but still only a short walk to the beach, coffee shops, restaurants, bars and ice cream shops.

We offer three off-street parking spots which is critical on most every weekend.

From the downstairs master bedroom there is a courtyard under the ocean side deck, ideal for relaxing and taking in a good read.

If you are looking for a great stay in 4 star quality, our beach house is the place to be. Should you have any questions feel free to contact me anytime.

Relaxation Seems in the Air Along with Opportunities for Adventure
We fell in love with Avila Beach. It’s a great place for jumping off to adventure such as ziplining, riding Clydesdales, wine tasting, hiking, boat rides, whale watching and a beautiful coastline state park at Montana de Oreo State Park. There is some pretty good tide pooling to be enjoyed on this coastline. The light show in Pao Robles is wonderful. Or skip all this and just chill to the sound of the waves crashing.

Great Stay
My wife and I, along with two friends, had a great stay in Avila. The house was all the photos showed except, as has been noted in other reviews, the two stuffed chairs in the living room really do need to be replaced.

Loved everything about it!
Outstanding location with lovely view of the ocean at Avila Brach. The property was clean and had everything we needed. Quiet location with privacy, but just up the hill from the beach and shops of Avila. We hosted some family gatherings while there, and there was plenty of room for everyone in the common area and deck.

Winter get-away
Booked a 5 night stay at Avila Beach for a winter vacation. Communication w/ property manager was great. Location was excellent - short but steep walk to the beach and stores. Could hear the ocean waves faintly even w/ the windows closed. Would book this place again if or when we return.

Another relaxing stay
This is our second stay and it did not disappoint. The house is located in the residential area of Avila, yet walking distance to everything. There is construction work going on at the house in the back during the week, but not too bad as far as noise. Thank you for sharing your home.

Beautiful Home with a view.
This home is beautiful with a lovely large deck that has a peekaboo view of Avila Beach and ocean. Short two block walk to restaurants, coffee shop and boutique shops. The home is decorated nicely and was very comfortable to hang out in with our family. We cooked a Thanksgiving meal in the large well equipped kitchen. We loved our stay and hope to be back soon. Thank you!

Perfect Beach Stay
Our family of 3 had such an enjoyable time in Avila Beach. The apartment delivered. Great views, easy and fast communication with the owner, stocked kitchen and perfect location. Loved the 2 block walk to the shops. The owner also helped us find a babysitter so we could enjoy a parents night out in SLO! We would 100% stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by LAUREN VRUWINK

Host profile image
My family and I first fell in Love with Avila Beach in the Mid 90's when we moved to San Luis Obispo County. We always wanted to be a part of Avila, but it was so hard own anything as there are so few properties worth buying in our price range. Our friend was living in this one and the Landlord called him up informing him she was going to sell. He called me and the rest is history.

Why they chose this property

I think it has everything a beach house should. Great character when you are there and only a few blocks to the sand when you want to enjoy the beach. You're in the action but out of the action at the same time.
