Top Pirates Cove Hotel Reviews

"The Treehouse"/studio in oaks. Ocean 6+min. walk

10/10 Excellent

"This was such a hidden gem. Very cute and well kept. John was so kind and thoughtful. I definitely plan on staying here again!"

Retreat to Avila Beach Luxe, short stroll to ocean

8/10 Good

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The town home is at a perfect location with unbeatable views. Well equipped and clean interior. I’m not giving 5 stars as the outdoor living area needs attention; worn out deck furniture cushions, dead plants, hot tub lacked proper steps, was dirty with crack cover. Not what you expect for the price. Property management was responsive and did what they could. Nonetheless we had a great stay."

Avila Beach Retreat: Pets & Families Welcome!

10/10 Excellent

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been to this property twice with our dogs. It is a perfect location to walk down to get coffee and get in a beach walk with your dog during dog-friendly hours. Then you can walk right back with beach chairs and spend time with your family. The home is spacious and clean and there is a grill on the deck. There is no AC but you can crack the windows for some fresh air. Great spot for a fun trip to Avila."

Avila Pismo RV Resort and Campground

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely property, friendly check-in staff. Great location right near the Bob Jones trailhead. My only notes are that the cabin i stayed in is a bit rundown - the mattress could be replaced, the bedside light had no outlet, so was just ornamental, and the tv in the bedroom didn’t work. Other than that, great stay!"

Enjoy the big ocean views, hear the waves crashing, enjoy the coastal vibe.
