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.

Seester’s tour ‘24

I took my wives 2 sisters and my sister on a trip to SLO to see my niece that just started at Cal Poly. It was my first time in the area and the house was absolutely perfect! It has such a cool setting with different levels, an elevator, great parking, amazing rooftop views and even a fire place. The location right on front street is great. Everything is in walking distance. We loved it and will be back.

50th Anniversary Weekend

We so enjoyed your home last weekend with our family. We lucked out with perfect weather and spent most Saturday and Sunday on the beach. For those unable to get down, they enjoyed watching from the balcony. The location was perfect for all of us. There were no basics missing - and loved the shuffle board game!

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.

Prime location

With or without children, this location is amazing. If you want to relax with cocktails on the deck or sit on the roof around the fire pit with a relaxing view of the ocean, or fly a kite off the roof, this is great spot to walk or play on the beach which is only foot steps away. Restaurants are downstairs and the Friday night food stands and farmers market give you a lot of choices.

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.

Best Spot on the Beach

If you’re looking for a pedestrian friendly spot with breathtaking views on Avila Beach, this spot cannot be beat. We enjoyed gathering in the living room and the open air with the accordion glass doors open all day long. The home was extremely comfortable with great beds and all four rooms. if I were to critique anything, it would be the living room furniture is ready for an upgrade and the bathrooms are starting to show a little bit of age. Beyond that we cannot wait to return and stay again.

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!

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.

Beautiful location

Premium location situated right across from the beach. The amenities and furnishings could use updating and didn't feel as premium as the location and the rate. We were surprised we had to purchase an incremental insurance policy, in addition to our signature on a supplemental agreement (with credit card required and right for owner to charge an unlimited amount for damages).

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)
