Response from VrboOwner on 15 Mar 2026
The guest showed and said they found one bug but we were not able to confirm it. I had a pest service come out and do an inspection and check everything out. They didn’t find any bugs or evidence of any. We went ahead and had all the bedding pulled out cleaned and vacuumed all the mattress and carpet and didn’t find anything either. The whole ordeal was a little suspicious to me. They showed up, stayed about 6 hours then texted me that their son found a bed bug and were leaving. I did everything I could think of to address it and feel confident we didn’t have any issues.

Family short vacation

Me and 3 of my children and 2 son in laws plus 1 grandchild had a great time. House was wonderful enough room for all, much better than staying in hotels. We visited Hearst Castle, whale watched in Morro Bay, visited SLO, and chilled at Pismo beach! House is centrally located to many attractions! We will definitely do this again!

Nice location in quiet neighborhood

Our stay was nice, big enough for us to hang out in the living room with our kids. I wished the down stairs was connected to the upstairs from inside. The down stairs had a musty odor, but our teenage boys did not complain.

Excellent location. Everything was clean and was well stocked. The neighborhood is very quiet. Only thing that was unexpected is that the downstairs and upstairs levels are not connected from inside the house. This was not clear on the vrbo listing. Not a game changer for our party but might be problematic for a young family not expecting that surprise. We had a great time.

Family Tradition

We enjoyed our stay at this perfect location just blocks away from our daughter’s house. We’ve been celebrating Independence Day on the central coast since I was a child, now on our 4th generation of tradition! The kitchen was well equipped, beds were comfortable, great TV choices and Olan was delightful, attentive and quick to respond. We will certainly come again!!

Family Gathering

The property was perfect for us. We brought together family traveling from out of state via plane, train, and automobile. The owners were very helpful and allowed us an early check that was helpful as everyone arrived . The house felt home like and was very clean. The deck offered a view of the ocean and the street was very quiet. Thank you to the owners for making us welcome for making these accommodations available to us.
