Avila Beach House

Avila Beach House

10/10 Excellent
"Too m7ch Construction remodel going on but our room was nice. My only complaint would be i was charged on my credit card for full charges both nights even though I paid when booking. This is an inconvenience because I wont get my funds for 3 to 5 days. That's just not right because it withdraws funds I dont have access to..... only other complaint with so much going on its distracting when Trying to enjoy quiet Time away from home. Its an expensive place but convenient"

8/10 Good
"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: You can’t beat the advantage of steps from beach and secure parking. Hosts are responsive, supportive; home is clean, equipped. Restaurant options local or short drive to SLO. Beach is kid-friendly and sunnier than Pismo.The only downside is the noise from Custom House (2 smaller bedrooms overlook their rear alley) first thing in morning and last at night."
