Avila Beach Condo - best location

The condo is right behind the store and just steps from dining, the beach and other services. The unit has a large bedroom and large outdoor space. It was clean and the area is quiet. All this made for a great vacation.

Walkable to everything in downtown Avila

Great location! Walkable to everything in downtown Avila. It’s very spacious and bigger then I expected. It was very clean upon arrival and the property manager was easy to get ahold of when we needed something. I’d definitely stay here again. Remember to check your Rental Agreement when checking out. They do not provide any instructions at the rental.

Sweet Avila flat

This flat is very nicely updated, has a great kitchen, beautiful bathrooms, and comfortable bed, and even two balconies with a sitting area outside one of them. Amazing location a block away from the beach, and right behind the Avila grocery- which does however generate noise at night.

Close and comfortable

My husband and I brought our daughter for her 17th birthday. The king bed was very comfortable, but bring your own blankets if you’re planning on using the pull out sofa as there was only sheets . The cook in kitchen was great and laundry was very helpful

Fantastic condo, amazing locaion

Loved our stay in Avila Beach. The condo is spacious, well-appointed, comfortable, and had everything we needed and then-some. We'd definitely come back, and hopefully use the kitchen more. The location is fantastic, you can see the ocean fro the balcony, and is less than a block from the shops. There was a loud party going on next door but we couldn't hear it from inside. I hope we can come back. It was a bit pricey with the taxes, cleaning and fees, that is the only downside. Property management company was easy to work with, the keyless entry and parking were perfect.

Excellent beach location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great spot with all we needed for our annual Avila Beach trip. It was a hot weekend and AC would be great in living room, but manageable with fans. Bedroom had great breeze and slept well.

Avila Condo

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great Location with about a 1 to 2 minute walk from the front the door to the beach. Condo was nice, but there were some minor issues. The couch was stained and torn. When I rent a place for over 2000 dollars a week, I expect the furniture to be in good condition. The sofa sleeper in the torn couch was also damaged. It was completely bottomed out and not super stable which also lent to it not being super comfortable. I get it, its a sleeper sofa, but if you advertise it as part of the rental, it should be in good working order. General cleanliness was good, but the deck was a bit dirty, there were someones old gross sandals under the bed and there was mold in the washing machine, which we wanted to use, but couldn't due to this. Additionally, the master screen door kept coming off the rails everytime we tried to slide it. Again these are relatively minor gripes, but for the price, they should be addressed. Overall, generally satisfied with the stay.

Beach Bliss

We were visiting our son at Cal Poly and it was the perfect getaway. A beautiful 15 minute drive to campus and downtown SLO without the “hotel room” feel. Condo sits in a small gated community adjacent to the main boardwalk in Avila with easy beach access through a walkway next to the Avila Market. Close to everything. The large exterior deck had an outdoor fireplace with four big comfy chairs, a separate barbecue area and a peek a boo view of the bay. Interior space is open concept, upgraded kitchen with concrete counters and all of the amenities. An open floor plan with high ceilings and large fans provided for a light, airy living space. The layout is great!! Master bedroom was in perfect harmony with the beach theme and Pottery barn linens made for cozy nights. They were all great looking and the mattress was comfortable too. I even tried to find the patterned duvet to purchase for myself! Master bath was well designed and the tile is beautifully integrated into the beach theme. There is also a 1/2 bath for guests. Everything is well maintained. The parking was easy, convenient and secure. We brought our own but I think it would be nice to provide guests with beach chairs and towels. The couch and chair in living room were a nice fabric but well worn. Overall it was a perfect weekend and the weather did not disappoint! Highly recommend!

Lovely Accommodations and Great Location

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had the best time in Avila staying at the Boathouse! We are already scheduled to return in October. Love the cleanliness of the unit upon arrival, plenty of basics for an enjoyable stay, patio furniture and fire pit is nice for relaxing evenings, LOVED the soft water. Couches could use a deep cleaning, but other than that, perfection!
