We enjoyed our stay. The rental was clean enough, beds comfortable and the accommodations overall were fine. Avila Beach is a fun town and this location is quiet and within a few blocks of the beach and a charming little village.
lovely house/condo..worked well for me, my wife, son and both grandkids..however heat gain was problematic even with overhead fan running much of the time in living room..also couldn't open 2 upstairs windows facing the driveway.also reported rodent (assume mouse or rat) sound having kept my wife from adequate sleep..we concluded that it may have been a scratching noise within the wall in upstairs bedroom..in any case really enjoyed our stay

We had a great time in Avila Beach/SLO. The weather was nice and the place was also nice, clean, and roomy for 4 people. Also, very close to the beach. We would stay there again.

Ok, great location. Appreciated they had lots of beach toys/gear available.Disappointed the washer/dryer didn't work, jetted tub didn't work, garage is so small it was tight for a Toyota Camry passengers have to get out before pulling into garage because you can't open the passenger side doors inside, no sheets/bedding for the sleeper sofa. My daughter and grandson slept on a mattress pad with one blanket and pillows we shared off other beds.
DO NOT STAY HERE! We have stayed at this location every year after Thanksgiving for the past 5 years and spent about $20,000 with them. No longer.
Once we made the booking, the employees were approaching us like scam credit collectors. They were nasty, condescending, and demanding. They also gaslit me for asking simple questions.
This year they had us pay a deposit for our dogs. First time ever, so I asked if it was a new Policy. They said it has been going since the company started. Then I told them it has never been in place since Iâve been there. They proceeded to tell me that Iâve never stayed thereâ weâve stayed there the week after Thanksgiving for 5 years. I got confused and said, isnât it the green condo? They said no, itâs grey. Itâs green.
They were so awful I actually asked to cancel. They told me theyâd keep half the full charge and do I still want to cancel 3 months before our stay.
We get there with a family of 4 for 8 days. There are 5 towels and no spare sheets. Also, the dresser on the bottom level just collapses to the floor if you are not careful. A few days in it starts to smell like absolute sewage. Suddenly, the plumbing in backing up into the bath tub. We tried our best to clean up but the smell was horrendous.
They just sent us pictures blaming us for damage to a table and a tile that there is no way we did, and other âdamageâ that requires wiping we wouldâve done if the place didnât smell of poop and trash.

THe location was great, just a few blocks from the beach and downtown Avila. Great to have a garage to park in and the unit was spacious and very nice.
Avila was great and the property worked very well for our family. The only thing is the place is very dusty everywhere above 6 ft tall and could use a deep cleaning. Would recommend staying here and would do so again.

We have stayed at this condo several times. This visit, June 2024, was to attend our son's graduation from Cal Poly. During the weekend, the rates were more than doubled (to $729/night). I understand that rates at most places are hiked up during this weekend, but doubling the nightly rate is unreasonable. On top of that, we were required to stay for 4 nights. However, we stayed here because the unit and location meets our needs and we would not miss graduation. When we got there, our garage entry code did not work. We got in touch with Ken, the manager, and he came fairly quickly which we appreciated. Apparently the power went out and deactivated the code. If the managers knew about that, I would have thought they would visit the unit and make sure everything was okay before we arrived. We also discovered that the garage remote did not work, but we managed. This unit is modern, clean and well-stocked. The extra pass for a 2nd parking spot is a bonus! The staff is pleasant and responsive on the phone and via text. Avila Beach is a lovely place to visit!
This was our family's first trip to Avila. We walked everyday. The beach, pizza, icecream, restaurants are a pleasant 10 min walk. Having a garage was a bonus (is was snug for our sedan). Having a washer/dryer in-unit was so convenient! The wall to wall living room windows face South so remember to shut the living room blinds before leaving for a day out to help keep the place cooler (no A/C, as advertised). Management was super easy to worked with. We would be happy to return!
We loved the location and simplicity and comfort of this home. It was sunny and clean and spacious and so wonderful. It is so close to the beach, just a 2 minute walk but you donât get the noise and disruption of foot traffic etc of actually being on the beach. Thereâs so much beach stuff in the garage-donât bother bringing your own chairs and wagon (like we did!), sand toys and beach towels, a huge basket of board games upstairs. Check in was so easy-great communication and they delivered keys to the property. We canât wait to come back!
The property was really nice. A lot of natural light. The only downside we saw was the lack of air conditioning and it did get a little warm upstairs. (The lack of air conditioning is stated in the description so something we expected going in).

Great location to walk into town. Plenty of room and separation for our family of 6 to enjoy our vacation. Easy to use kitchen. We appreciate having garage access to store our bikes and beach gear.
Everything about 219 San Miguel in Avila is what we'd hoped it would be.
Great layout - super location - access to shops; beach; travel routes... Pretty close to perfect!
