Great Location & Plenty of Space

This property was the perfect place for my 2 adult sons and their girlfriends to stay while visiting for the holidays. They could easily walk to the nearby tasting rooms and restaurants. It's also a short drive to the neighboring towns. The inside was spacious but still felt cozy. I would definitely rent there again.

Birthday weekend

Stayed at this cute house for my brother in laws 60th birthday party held at Mattei’s Tavern It was the perfect location as it was literally a walk around the block. The self checkin was super easy and the house was very clean. Perfect for our group of 4 ( 2 in each bedroom). Walking distance to everything. Would stay here again!

GREAT LOCATION!

We loved this stay in Los Olivos - great town with great wines, food and fun! The house was in the PERFECT location! The only reason for 4 stars was the furniture is a bit dated and the bedrooms are HUGE and could easily accommodate King sized beds! Otherwise a lovely stay! Host was super easy to communicate with and easy access to the property! We will stay again for sure!

Wine Tasting Weekend

The home is beautiful, GREAT location and super easy to access. The furniture is a bit dated and could use some updating, and sadly no coffee was left for us, per listing. The online process was great, no communication for check-in or check-out was needed and incredibly easy!

Perfect for a weekend stay

Location, location, location. The house is situated right in the middle of town which made it perfect to walk to all of our little adventures. It was clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated. The front yard, backyard and the bedroom upstairs have patios that are perfect to sit, relax, and enjoy a glass of wine. We really appreciated that the house was fully equipped with all the necessary items to prepare a meal at home. We highly recommend this house for your next getaway.

Great spot in Los Olivos: location* + cleanliness*

I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a spacious place with a great location in LO. It is just steps away from great restaurants. The parking spot was a little tricky to find, and also wish we'd been left more coffee . (Literally was left one pod per person) But these very small issues should not stop anyone from enjoying this awesome place.

Nice property

Well appointed and great location right on the main drag if you like the activities(which we did). Big place but inconvenient with only one full bath but we knew what we were getting into. Sparce outdoor furniture and no bbq.

Great spot! We enjoyed ourselves and would stay again. FYI ... One of the beds is a full not a queen. If you plan to do any cooking there are no ingredient supplies other than salt and pepper ... bring your own oil, vinegar, seasonings, tin foil, zip locks bags, et cetera like I have always found on hand in other VRBOs.

Our stay was lovely but I msg the property manager/ owner twice and never got a response. We wanted to use the pull out bed but there were no sheets. Just wanted to know where they were. Otherwise it was great!

Right in the thick of it all and so charming. This house beat expectations! Sandwiched between a restaurant and a winery this “cottage’ was a mansion. So much space! Love, love, loved it! Thanks Michael for sharing your piece of Los Olivos paradise!

Spacious Victorian in excellent location!

I stayed here on a girls trip to Los Olivos and wanted something where we would be walking distance of the town. Well, this was right in the middle of it all! We were literally right in the center of town. Even though there were restaurants and wine tasting rooms next door, the property was still relatively quiet and tranquil. It was spacious and clean. Would definitely come back!

Great Location

The property is conveniently located within walking distance to tasting rooms, restaurants and shops in downtown Los Olivos. We found the house very comfortable and clean. The house was perfect for our girls getaway. The only down side was the two bedrooms shared one bathroom. It worked for a group of girls, but might not be ideal for two couples.

Location location!

Really cute property right next to Bar Le Cote. You cannot beat the location. Adorable completely redone original Los Olivos home. Well appointed and very comfortable for my sister and I. High-end Viking appliances in the kitchen. There are five patios on the property, I only wish they had more furniture for them. There was a bench in the front and patio furniture on the back patio. But woukd have been nice if there were more comfortable patio furniture in the front for relaxing and watching the town do its thing. All in all loved this property and would highly recommend it!

Los Olivos Location

We are frequent Vrbo renters, and have stayed in multiple properties, both short and long term. This is the first time we’re compelled to give less than glowing review. For a weekend stay in the heart of Los Olivos, this property would be wonderful, especially if you plan on eating out. Nicely decorated. However, we booked a long stay, and compared to other properties we’ve rented, this one fell way short of expectations. Misses the mark on basics in many ways. Kitchen appliances are high end, but good luck with preparing meals. Cookware and utensils are at a bare minimum. A broom would be nice, and a few spices. Internet was not dependable, couldn’t stream on the TV, basic channels only. Would have been nice to use fireplace. Home has nice exterior space, especially front porch, but outdoor furniture unkept and sparse. BBQ grill is unavailable, locked up in garage. No real basic welcome information, had to figure things out on our own. When we called property manager to share some concerns, he asked us to send him list. Although we were told there would be complimentary wine tasting coupons in the unit, none found. Were charged full price for two tastings at the attached winery, even though property manager said we’d be comped if we told them we were staying in the Craftsman. Another small example of basic expectations not being met. With all of this said, if you want a weekend in Los Olivos where you can walk everywhere, this property is a fun place to stay.

This house gets 5 stars for location and cleanliness, town is very cute. The house itself lacks basic supplies, a quick trip to Costco is needed. The list is long but a broom, dustpan, coffee cups, coffee maker, colander, garbage bags, towels, bbq - BYO!
