Excellent location one block from the beach, with an ocean view down the street from the balcony patio. Very nicely equipped kitchen and living area, and nice to have downstairs secure parking too. I would give 5 stars, except that we had to do some cleaning when we arrived.

We were super happy to havefound this full one bedroom condo just one block from the beach. It came with parking, a very comfortable bed, a big stocked kitchen and a patio with a view of the pier and beach! We wanted a super relaxing retreat, and we got it! There are restaurants to walk to so no need to even get back in the car. And if you like wine tasting, there are beautiful wineries just 15 minutes away. Or, there are a few tasting rooms in town within a few blocks. We walked to the beach and spent most of our time there every day and enjoyed it so much that we added an extra night. The host was super easy to reach and made adding the extra day simple.Looking forward to staying here again soon!

Wonderful location. The home was perfect for me. The bed was comfortable, which is always a plus. The kitchen was well stocked. I enjoyed the view of Avila Pier from the lanai while tapping away on my computer keyboard, or just enjoying a snack and a cocktail. Laundry was a plus, especially since I had to extend my stay. I enjoyed lunch at Hula Hut and Happy Hour at Custom House. Blue Moon over Avila was very tasty! And of course several gift shops and clothing stores. And the beach......ahhhhhh yes. Very convenient and accessible. The "dumb waiter" was a great help, especially with groceries. From the garage, entering the "main" entrance to the condo, there are 4 flights of stairs and two locked doors before you access the condo. Once I figured out the lay of the land, I started using the pedestrian stairs where there's one locked gate with a code to access. This is from the lanai door, which can be locked from the outside. Minor details, but some may want to know this ahead of time. Great Place! Will return if available!

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful one-bedroom condo in Avila Beach! The condo was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The covered parking was a huge bonus and made coming and going incredibly convenient.The location couldn’t have been better—just a short walk to downtown, the beach, restaurants, shops, and all the amenities Avila Beach has to offer. We rarely needed to use our car because everything was so close.The host made the entire experience seamless, and the condo truly felt like a home away from home. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, convenient, and well-appointed place to enjoy Avila Beach. Five stars all the way!

We were very happy with our stay at this property. It is a great location for the beach, shops and restaurants. The private parking garage was great and even had a bike rack we could lock our scooters to. The rinse station was super convenient and the dumb waiter made it very convenient for getting the majority of our stuff up to the apartment. The apartment itself is very decent size and had all of the amenities we needed. It was clean, but not spotless. The bed in the bedroom was very comfortable! We enjoyed sitting out on the patio as well and looking out to the beach/peir. We will definitely consider coming back again! We did not have to contact the host during our stay, so I do not have any insite on that subject.

Location was great. Unit was clean. Worked perfectly for us. Nice balance of being by the water and near Cal Poly for those parents visiting students. Parking was secure. Only suggestion would be to have more specific directions on how to get from parking to the unit upstairs, as we had to make a few guesses to find the front door. Thanks.
