Really nice house with wonderful amenities! You can easily walk to town/beach but it’s literally sitting on the Main Street into town. My husband had trouble sleeping because of traffic noise. We happened to be there during a weekend event happening so might not be as bad at other times.

Amazing!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wonderful home for a large family or group! The spacious living areas were perfect for gathering, and we especially enjoyed the large living room, dining table, and patio BBQ area. The bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious, and the beds were very comfortable.The location is excellent—just a short walk to the beach, park/playground, restaurants, and shops. The house also has fantastic amenities, including ping pong, pop a shot basketball, and a pool table. Everything you need for a beach trip is provided, including plenty of beach towels, chairs, umbrellas, and wagons for transporting your gear. The outdoor shower was a great bonus for rinsing off after the beach.Highly recommend this home for a fun and relaxing stay in Avila Beach!

A beautiful roomy home, great location with easy walk to beach, town, restaurants, hiking and biking trail. Kitchen is excellent, all appliances, cookware, utensils are perfect and the labelling of storage for all the kitchen items is superb. The 3 full bedrooms are excellent, comfortable and heave great storage and lots of hangers. The fourth sleeping room is minimal, with a murphy bed over a desk and little else and was not not comfortable for 2 adults for a week.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great trip. The road noise is quite loud in the bedrooms.

Is this house beautiful? Yes. Does it have a prime location? Yes. Is it really a 2-minute walk from the beach? Yes. Honestly, nothing about this house was disappointing. It was beautiful, clean, well maintained, and fully stocked. My favorite thing about this house was the attention to detail. Every bedside had a multi plug, a sound machine, and little step stools to make sure little feet could easily climb up. We loved falling asleep to the sound of frogs at night and seeing the ocean sparkle in the morning. This house is a great rental - it was also clearly loved and well thought out for how people function in a space. Honestly, no complains, no "I wish they would have," just great vibes and awesome functionality. We would definitely stay here again.

Road noise 2

Stayed with 21 people in 2 houses for 5 days. The location is great for the beach but the bedrooms in the house are on a very busy street. We heard road noise all night long. Owner must have known about this due to the fact they supplied ear plugs. It would be nice to have a inventory sheet of what is in house and what beach chairs and toys are there. We brought a lot of things that were already there. Great layout and close to beach. Too bad it is on a noisy street.

Thank you for taking the time to review this lovely property. Avila Beach Drive is the primary road into Avila Beach. The owners have worked very hard and provided many amenities for their guests to be comfortable and enjoy their home. Ear plugs have been provided in consideration of light sleepers. In regards to an inventory, we would be happy to provide if requested a more detail list of the exact count of beach gear items.

Avila Beach House: January 2025

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall a great house for multi-generation family stay. All the ameneties are there and the kitchen is fully stocked with high-quality items. I didn't see any of the coffee pods they mentioned, but no problem as we brougth our own coffee.The management company was responsive throughout our stay.My only complaint is that for this type of property (high-end and high-price), little things should be better:1) the TVs in different parts of the house should be easier to use. Complicated instructions were hard to follow.2) the heater is maxed at 70 degrees. Most of the time, this should be fine for Avila Beach, but we were there in early January when the temperatures at night and early mornings dipped low. The house was cold at times, especially in the master bedroom on the main floor where the vents were shut and purposedly blocked from opening.

Great for Three Couples

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything was so nice at Beach Deeamer. So close to the beach. We tried to use the house for four couples, however, which was not ideal as the Murphy bed room is not set up for two adults. It would be better for a single or two children, as there is no room to maneuver and bath is downstairs. That said, we made it work and had a memorable stay.
