Thank you Natallie and we are so happy you loved our home and the comfort family vibes, neighborhood, amenities, and we hope you enjoyed the wine and snacks gift basket as well. We would love your feedback on what could have made your stay a 5 star. Thank you again!
We always thought it would be great if there were more houses geared towards young kids as that can really make a huge difference for families with young kids. We felt this house was exactly that. We had 6 and 3 year olds and they had so much fun playing in the back yard, playing inside with all the toys and craft that the owner left for us.

Hi Wonyoung! Thank you so much for your awesome review! As parents of two littles, we have really crafted each space with the families in mind. We are so happy your whole family had a great vacation and loved all the fun activities and spaces to play in. Your family is welcome anytime!
My party had a great stay at the house. The house was spacious very clean. I had a problem with the wifi and the hosts came to the house within 20 minutes to fix it, amazing! Will return in the future.

Thank you Matt for your kind words and we are so glad our home was the perfect vacation home for your stay. We would be happy to host you again!
Very nice rental. We had everything we needed for our stay. Host was very responsive and set up a crib and high chair for us to use at an additional cost. Lots of toys, books and a sandbox that our toddler loved. It was great to grill and be close to the beach and stores. However, we were charged an additional city tax after booking that we felt should have been communicated to us before booking. Otherwise it was a great stay and would stay again in the future.

We are so happy your family had a wonderful and comfortable fun stay! Thank you for choosing our home for your family to gather and vacation together. We are so glad we had baby rental items on hand for your needs. Thank you for your feedback on our cities mandatory TOT tax. We have added more verbiage on our house rules for clear transparency when guests book. Hoping to communicate this is a requirement our city has us collect TOT separately after check out. We would love to host you again!
This was perfect for us! The toys and especially outside play area were so much fun! My 5yr old was in heaven, playing in the sandbox, looking all around the garden, and befriending the local cat (super friendly). So many great books and toys to choose from inside, and the kids had a cute eating setup with dishes and a table highchair! Everything was very clean, and the owners even use clean products which I absolutely loved (safer for the kids than your regular rental). When we got there, there was a cute welcome basket with a little of everything, and the binder had great ideas of things to do and also some great reminders for your stay! My husband took a run to the beach, it’s not far to see it but to get on the sand you have to go around some train tracks so it’s a bit longer than he thought- but still close- I’d personally take a car or bike.The owner is amazing, she was quick to respond and was able to accommodate an early request for me. Parking is a little tight in the driveway if you have 2 cars, but still doable (we did have 1 large suv). I would 100% come back and stay here! My family loved it, as did I.

About the host
Hosted by Lauren Sligh
As California Natives of the Central Coast, my family and I love to explore nature, with the endless list of hiking and exploring opportunities that San Luis Obispo County provides. "SLO" as the locals call it, is in the top 10 happiest place in America, and just a beautiful 18 minute drive away for you to explore.
Why they chose this property
Describe the scene and what you enjoy most about the neighborhood. This is a quiet, safe, family-owned neighborhood. Everyone is friendly and keeps an eye out for each other. Everyone is quite in the evenings. If you open a window on a beautiful night with large surf, you can hear the ocean waves crashing on the shore.
What makes this property unique
We have the best set-up for families traveling with young children. It can be the most stressful part of a trip to find a child-friendly home, and this home has it all for your peace of mind. We have two small children that are raised in this home, so everything still has the ability to turn on the safety baby locks, outlets are covered with protective plugs, and fun curated play spaces have been thoughtfully put together for your child to enjoy.
