Wonderful property!

We have stayed here two years in a row. The location is ideal, the house is well-equipped with beach towels and toys. The roof space is amazing with fire pit, grill, fridge, corn hole and a view that cannot be beat.

Overall this was good. The property manager met us , which was very helpful.However the refrigerator/freezer had stopped working before we arrived. The outside panel was lit up, so you don't give it a second thought.....This is my take looking back on what unfolded it had stopped working sometime in the last 12 hours..It was very warm and there was no ice . There was also a thermostat in the freezer on one of racks .I spent a fair amount of time dealing with this between the property manger and owner. Which took away from the 1st part of our weekend. If we had shown up with ice cream.. well not good. There are two other small refrigerators. No other freezers.But we could only get the one in the basement down to 45 degrees. What to expect, great view , good kitchen for everyone to gather/cook in. The wine bar is directly below the balcony was closed ,which made the balcony more private. The bar appears to be changing hands. The elevator was great . It does not go to the roof terrace.The three beds/entertainment room is window less.But has a good shower downstairs . This rental is probably due for a bit of paint, and some attention to the bathrooms. etc.Overall is was a lovely weekend. But check refrigerator in any rental. This is the second time this has happened to us with a VRBO rental.

AMAZING!!!

The house is amazing ... so many windows open to the ocean breezes and sunshine! The house is furnished with everything you could need from kitchen to bath to beach toys! A garage!!! Roof top firepit, bbq and dining ... we enjoyed it all! The house is very well appointed; comfortable and appropriate for the beach. The location is amazing ... across the street from the beach and surrounded by good food, evening live music, cute beach town stores and a small grocery store/deli. We will be back!

Another fabulous stay!

We have been coming to this beautiful property for the last 5 years. The location is incredible and abominations are so comfortable. Amazing views, people watching, wonderful restaurants all right there! The beach is beautiful and really cool tide pools all the way down on the south side. We had an issue with the showers not getting hot water off and on, the property manager was super helpful in troubleshooting. The communication with any issues that arise have always been very thorough and helpful. We look forward to coming back year after year.

Birthday getaway

This beautiful house was perfect for my family to celebrate our birthdays. Several of our family and friends rented houses in Avila to help us celebrate our birthday. The rooftop area provided a lovely space for us to gather and enjoy the sunset before dinner. The beds were very comfortable and the game room downstairs was a fun area for a ping pong tournament. We will definitely be back. This house had all we needed and more.

A Great Rental in Avila Beach

Our family truly enjoyed staying in such a large, beautiful beach front home. We were thrilled to be so close to the sand and water plus all the little shops and restaurants along Front Street. Though the Property Manager was a little rushed as she went through the house at the initial check-in, she was very helpful and available by phone/text during our 3 days in Avila Beach. We appreciated that there were adequate plates, utensils, and glassware for the 8 of us, and enough chairs so we all could sit at the same table for meals--something that's not always the case in rentals which accept larger groups. I'd certinaly recommend this superb beach home to anyone interested in staying in what has to be one of the The Best rentals in Avila--hard to beat the location and views!

Amazing Location, Amazing Home

Right on the boardwalk. Its doesn't get any better. Beautifully appointed home with unobstructed views of the ocean. We could have been in Italy. Really fantastic set-up, especially the roof deck which gave us evening views of the sunset and an amazing spot for drinks and BBQ. I travel often, and this is one of the nicest places I've ever stayed.

Wedding trip

We were there for my daughter's wedding in San Luis Obispo. Breathtaking view from living room and deck. Lovely home. Only drawback was the noise early in the early mornings, as there are many restaurants near getting trash picked up almost daily. Other than that it was delightful and had everything that you could need was provided.

Happy Place

The location of this property can not be beat! We spent a long family weekend here and had a blast celebrating my 60th birthday. We had some unfortunate weather during our stay but the property manager and Chris took care of issues that arose from that. Loved that there is an elevator from the garage level. That helped my 83 year old Dad navigate the property with ease. The rooftop deck is amazing and we hope to come back for another fun family trip!

Beach Bliss

We enjoyed another incredible stay in Avila at this beachfront property. This is our third year returning and this property and location never disappoint. Being able to easily go back and forth to the beach, shops, and fair on the boardwalk on Fridays was so convenient. The rooftop and deck off the living room make it easy to watch older children and teens go down to the shops for ice cream or run down to the beach for some fun. The beds are super comfortable and the kitchen has what you need to cook at the house. Takeout is also an easy option- we did a combination of both. Thank you for all the fun and memories!!

Getaway with friends

We are a Group of friends that travel regularly. The pictures of the home led us to believe that it was directly on the beach instead of on top of a restaurant along a pedestrian street. Although we had a fabulous time and the place was nice, the photos are very deceptive. There is a bike shop over the garage, a bar underneath, and restaurant attached. we were led to be that there were 4 full bathrooms. But actually only 3 and 1/2 bathrooms and one of the beds was in the basement just off the garage with no windows. We specifically choose this home because it advertised 4 full bathrooms.

Master toilet had an issue running the whole trip and the rental contract was a nightmare

1. Super expensive rental but the master toilet had issues. Not what I would expect from a high end rental. You couldn't flush it normally otherwise it would run endlessly. I had to take the top off the toilet and manually fix it able 10 times. I raised the issue to them and someone came over. Basically said we can't flush it normally and did nothing. 2. The rental agreement is not professional. It states loads of rules, fines and the tone not fitting for the hospitality industry or really any industry. It made me uncomfortable for the whole trip. It was shared Less than two weeks before a Christmas trip. They offered to let me out of the reservation. I spent about a decade working in contract compliance, so I was pretty uncomfortable with the horrific state of the agreement and what I was forced to sign. it was not standard. It's a Frankenstein agreement that somebody has added to probably over a decade plus that has become 10+ pages. 3. Loads of spiders in the home. They need to increase maintenance. Many were in plan view. 4. Property had an elevator but it was not reliable. We had planned to host Christmas but had to cancel plans and change the location to my grandmothers home. She's 100 years old and can't do the stairs anymore. Again o called someone they came over right away but we could never get the elevator working again. I didn't trust it at that point either.

The best way to enjoy Avila Beach

If you are considering visiting Avila Beach, here's why you should - it is a great beach with accessible restaurants and wineries. The only reason you wouldn't is if you are not interested in a small town.If you visit Avila Beach with a larger group, you should stay here. We have stayed in three different beachfront places, and while all are great, this home is the biggest with the best parking. No downsides. The only reason not to stay beachfront is if you hate noise - the units are above stores/restaurants and there is often live music being played. We consider that a plus, but I am sure some travelers would prefer quiet. That said, this is Avila Beach not Miami Beach - the beach clears out around dinner time and the restaurants close at 9pm.

Gorgeous location!

Great location & roof deck can’t be beat! Parking under unit (important bc Avila is crowded!!). We had a great Mother’s Day weekend w 7 ladies representing 3 generations. Dishwasher seemed to be struggling as we had to run a load through twice to clean. Because we had a couple older ladies (75yrs plus) the elevator was nice. Overall lovely property although many dishes (plates, bowls, coffee mugs & serving platters etc) are chipped & could be replaced.

About the host

Hosted by chris knauer

Host profile image
Chris and Diana Knauer have lived on the Central Coast for over 30 years. The Avila beach home was completed in 2010 and its conclusion was an absolute dream come true. We were involved in every detail and believe we have built a home that will delight all renters.

Some of our favorite things to do is travel and meet new people. We are happy to share our beach residence with you as I know it will be an unforgetable experience for you.

Why they chose this property

We have been in San Luis Obispo for over 30 years and the area has many great leisure activities, outdoor activities and incredible weather. Avila Beach is home to 300 days of sunshine a year. When Santa Barbara and Pismo Beach are socked in with fog, Avila Beach is sunny most days...

What makes this property unique

Great Beach, restaurants, shopping, wine tasting, excellent leisure, sports activities, great weather, vibrant wildlife activity, 18 golf courses(one within walking distance of your rental), Hearst Castle, deep sea fishing, kayaking, tennis, ATV over the sand dunes, horseback riding, shopping, Avila Beach Market(Friday 4:00pm-8:00pm- may-Sept) vendors line up on the beach promenade with food, music, gifts right outside your rental. It is a scene from a movie(April-Sept)
