Quietly secluded on an 8+ acre property, this Mediterranean masterpiece will be your vacation oasis treating you to picturesque views of the Pacific Ocean, Pismo Beach, the expansive Santa Lucia Mountain Range and accompanying Seven Sisters Mountain peaks stretching from San Luis Obispo to the sea.

Upon entering the estate, you are greeted with a magnificent 25 foot foyer with a wall of windows showcasing the property’s magnificent oak trees and an exceptional ocean view. You and your guests will relish in multiple group seating areas including a large living room, formal dining room, breakfast nook and outdoor dining space.

Great house!

We enjoyed our stay at this amazing home. The only item to be aware of is there is only one tv, and the gathering space didn’t have enough seating for our family. It was fine, we brought chairs in from other rooms to accommodate everyone. Other than that, the home was beautiful, and the views were amazing.

The Villa was absolutely beautiful. It was exactly what we were looking for and very close to the location of the wedding we were attending. The description was accurate and we did see deer and turkeys from the many balconies.

Simply Stunning

This villa is spectacular. The view is incredible. The accommodations were beautiful. Communication was prompt and helpful. We had an amazing time celebrating our student's CalPoly graduation with a private area away from the busy-ness of SLO. It was a much appreciated retreat that helped make our weekend even more memorable.

Great house

This is our second time renting this property. It's close to lots of entertainment, good food and wine, but also feels like you're alone in a castle in the clouds. Lots of good nature watching while we sat on the patio and enjoyed the sunset.

Phenomenal Family Getaway at Villa Chula

We had a wonderful experience staying at Villa Chula. We came together as a family, celebrating a niece's wedding the The Casitas of Arroyo Grande, and we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful home, environment, and hosts. We had everything we needed in the house to make our stay perfect. The view from each of the windows was breathtaking, the rooms and bedrooms were all spacious, and the grounds surrounded by turkeys, deer, and wildlife made us all smile every day. Five stars for the amazing Villa Chula is our review.

Excellence to the max!

Wow--such a beautiful property atop a hill that gives 270 degree views. Clean and well appointed. Kitchen was great for a bunch of older foodies--we cooked 2 of the 3 nights and found everything we needed. The host was great with giving us recommendations for restaurants and wineries to visit--we did both from his list. I would return in a flash to rent this property again.

Stop looking and book this house!

The check in instructions were super easy to follow. The house as such is beautiful with large rooms to gather around. The bedrooms were very comfortable, plenty of pillows, towels, utensils in the kitchen etc. We had a couple of days of rain it felt like we were up in the clouds. The views on clear days is spectacular. We would like to do a return trip during summer.

A Magical Villa

The Villa was truly a magical place. There were beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Deer were eating right at the drive way some mornings. There were 11 adults 4 couples and 3 singles, each couple had their own bedroom and bathroom so there was never any waiting to get ready. The outdoor seating was wonderful adding to the living space. We were celebrating a 60th Birthday and I am sure we will remember our stay at the Villa.

Perfect House for Large Family!

The house was large and spacious and had everything we needed to comfortably accommodate our large family which consists of 4 couples and 2 babies. The kitchen was well equipped with modern appliances, cookware and dishes. There were plenty of towels, extra bedding, linen and other household items. The views from the balconies were spectacular. Everybody enjoyed their stay tremendously. We have stayed in many rental units, but this is one of the best. Thank you!
