Peri was the BEST VRBO host we have ever had. She communicated well, gave clear instructions and was available at all hours. What an amazing experience for my grandchildren (age 10 and 12). Peri went above and beyond explaining everything quite thoroughly. I can’t say enough about how positive every moment was that we spent on the property. The house was clean, roomy, up to date with many amenities. I highly recommend this property.
I have never experienced a host such gracious as Peri. She spent extra hours per day with the grandkids making sure they all had tuns walking the horses, feeding the animals, finding bugs for the ducks, etc. AMAZING!!!!!!!!The house had so many coaches, beds, etc. for sleeping. Extremely clean, it was wonderful from the minute we arrived to the minute we left. It was an absolute Delight and my grandkids did not want to leave. I was looking for something different than a typical house with a pool for the grandkids and this was it, BEST EVER!!!!!!!
Pictures don't do this cozy, warm house justice. Felt like home. Perfect place for a family gathering. Lots of nice touches throughout the house. Host is super helpful and responsive. Would definitely stay here again.
The house is large and beautiful. Peri let my girls help to feed the goats, chickens, pig, and horses. She was so patient with the girls. There was 5 acres with fruit trees. We picked plums that were delicious. Peri had wet suits and boogie boards. The girls had so much fun at the beach.
This property is adorable, well kept and so comfortable!! The host was so friendly & accommodating our family. We Loved the property and would stay there again in a heartbeat!
Peri and Jeff were great hosts! My family had such a great time at their beautiful home. Peri gave us a tour upon arrival of the house and later of the farm. We loved feeding all the animals and spending time with them. Peri also had some recommendations on some local attractions that turned out to be great. I highly recommend this place. My family and I will be back in the future.
The property and owners were wonderful! The house was beautiful, clean, and plenty of room. We had plenty of amenities, towels, blankets, etc. My children loved the animals, spending time with them, and helping to feed them (a real high light!!) . It was so peaceful and quiet, just what we needed for some quality family time.

Great getaway
It was a lovely home with a lovely view and truly met our family's needs for our short duration of stay. We hope to return

Dear Kristina,
We thank you for staying at our spot even if it was for a short duration. We also want to thank you for utilizing our home and property for such a special occasion as your daughter's wedding weekend. As we continue to incorporate more special memories and events here, it makes us feel that much more lucky and blessed to have guests like yourselves.
Thanks again,
Peri and Jeff
We chose the property for the animals, but the house, land was beyond lovely. We lucked out with weather so we could really enjoy the beautiful farm. Perri was an amazing host, letting us know when to come out to feed the animals with her!
Ten of us spent two nights here while visiting with each other and with family members who live in the area. The house easily accommodated our entire group and was a nice place to hang out - lots of room both inside and out. Hosts Peri and Jeff were wonderful and very accommodating. We joined them in the feeding of the animals one morning and were treated to fresh eggs from their hens later that day.
What a wonderful place to stay! The house was exquisite and fun. All our needs were met. The hosts were exceptional. We cannot say enough about the patience and gentleness in which Peri showed our grandchildren (and us) when letting them feed and pet the animals. Highly recommend this place.

What a lovely family you have Charles. We truly enjoyed hosting you and your family. We strive to make all of our guests stays special, memorable and filled with enjoyment spending time with family, and our sweet animals at the farm near the beach!
Peri-
Thank you so much for everything you did to make our stay so special. Your home provided the perfect backdrop for our graduation weekend. The home was so perfectly appointed - it immediately felt like home! The property is just beautiful! The views are stunning and there was nothing our stay lacked. Our stay at your property made a memorable weekend even more memorable.
We were looking for a midway point as our kids live in SoCal and we live in the Bay Area. Found this little gem and it was just what we needed. Peri is an amazing host who provided everything we needed. The farm has super cute and friendly animals. A perfect getaway

My family absolutely loved staying at Zen farms! The highlight was seeing my children, ages 6 and 8, helping out with morning feedings of the animals. The host, Perri, was so kind and sweet with the kids, helping them feel involved. This was a trip my kids will never forget! Beautiful and relaxing stay!

Central Coast Grande -- Wonderful getaway
This house is exactly as advertised, with open-yet-comfortable shared spaces, peaceful views, and spacious rooms. Simply a great place for a group to come together for a few days to go to the beach, to go bicycling, golfing, enjoy wineries, or fine eateries (all of which we did!). Thanks to Peri and Jeff who made us feel at home and like pampered guests at the same time.
Response from VrboOwner on 29 Mar 2020
Dear Christopher,
Thank you for the kind words. We like the word pampered as well, and are striving to make every guest feel pampered. You and your group definitely experienced as much as possible with the bike rides, wine tours and more. We also thoroughly enjoyed catering a dinner for you and the group one night during your stay!
Thanks so much,
Peri and Jeff
Perfect house for families. House is extremely spacious and entertaining. Farm animals are awesome for the kids and the house is nicely tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. Hosts are very nice and the house is conveniently next to an awesome golf course. 5 star.
We LOVED our stay here! The house was absolutely gorgeous, perfectly luxurious while being super cozy and comfortable, and included everything we needed for our 2 families with kids. Peri was so sweet and welcoming, and our kids had such a wonderful time feeding and caring for the animals on the farm alongside our most awesome host. We wished we could’ve stayed longer.
By the end of our stay, our 4-year-old stated, “This farmhouse is waaay better than LEGOLAND!”
We had a such a fun family reunion at Zen Farms! It was easy to coordinate and a big property so everyone had room to relax. The house had plenty of room with a pool table, large kitchen for cooking and an outside bbq. The backyard allowed us to set up our cornhole and the kids could run around. Peri was awesome and checked our schedule to make sure the kids could feed the animals with her (which they loved). We will definitely be back next year!

Great place, perfect for families, kids!
We had a wonderful weekend here with our 1 1/2 year old and extended family! Very kid friendly house (our daughter couldn't stop talking about how comfortable the couch was, loved that there were some toys and kids books, relatively child-proofed). Our daughter (and everyone!) loved the farm animals--really a hit! Farm fresh eggs were a great breakfast treat! House is in great condition. Very nice outdoor areas. We would love to have a return trip next year!

Dear Allison,
We so enjoyed your family and the fun the kids had with the animals. We are continually expanding our boutique farm for the most fantastic experience possible for kids and adults alike. We want to find the balance of comfortable luxury that adults may appreciate and the relaxed fun of the farm for children. When it is in balance, we have found that it makes for a charmed experience for all.
Best Regards,
Peri and Jeff
We spent four wonderful days at Peri and Jeff´s property in December and it was a perfect place for us to spend Christmas together. The house is very spacious and cosy for nine people. The kitchen was great and well equipped, and Peri let us pick tomatoes, herbs and lemon in the yard. The Christmas decorations made it so cosy. Peri and her husband are very nice and friendly, and we also loved all the animals. We highly recommend this house, which feels like a home!

About the host
Hosted by Peri Kost
We (Jeff and Peri) enjoy making each guest's experience one to remember, and take care in making each visit tailored to each individual. We welcome any special requests and feel honored to share our spot
Why they chose this property
Peri was born in San Luis Obispo at Sierra Vista hospital when my father was attending Cal Poly. My parents then moved back to Modesto soon after I was born and raised the family there, all the while enjoying many vacations on the central coast growing up. After several years living in the Bay Area, I knew I wanted to move back from where I was born, and we did exactly that in 2002. We are located within minutes to several beaches, lakes, golf courses, wineries, shopping, antiquing, spas, hiking areas, national forests, recreation areas, live theatre, restaurants, and so much more
What makes this property unique
You are minutes away from the beach, hiking, lakes and wineries! It is a country setting, yet luxurious in feel. Spacious open, airy home with the sound of birds, the scent of the ocean and stunning sunsets. Lots of spaces to enjoy inside and out! Wonderful for a romantic get-away, family get-together, retreat or celebration, and so much more....
