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!"

141 A 1st Street: 3 BR, 2 BA House in Avila Beach, Sleeps 6

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 satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house has a gorgeous view from the living room and the deck. The accommodations were fine, a bit aged, but was fine for our family vacation. Easy access to the downtown area, although the description does say the beach is a walkable distance, It’s quite a steep hill if you have small children. I would stay here again."

Avila Beach Retreat: Pets & Families Welcome!

10/10 Excellent

"We had a nice stay! The house was comfortable for all 8 of us, and the location was great—an easy walk down to town. The hosts were very nice and accommodating, allowing us to check in early.A few things could be improved: the pullout couch wasn’t working, so we had to use an air mattress, which wasn’t very comfortable, and bedding was difficult to find. The freezer door also wouldn’t stay shut, so we had to place something in front of it. More detailed directions for finding the house and information about parking would also be helpful, as it was a little difficult to locate. With all of us having trucks, parking in the space was a bit challenging.Overall, we enjoyed our stay and appreciated the hospitality!"

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 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.

10/10 Excellent

"Very beautiful place that was immaculate with gorgeous views of the beach. Super easy check-in and great communication. Can't wait to stay again."

"This a FANTASTIC property, and an equally WONDERFUL host in Jasi.The property has everything going for it - huge place with multiple rooms, big big backyard, a pool, a hot tub, pickle ball court, grills - you name it, and it has it! Definitely meant for a big group (10), and provides for everything one can need or want.Jasi is an excellent host - super responsive, detailed and kind. She made our stay even better than we could have imagined.Definitely recommend this property 1000% if you are looking to stay in SLO, and we will be coming back soon the next time our family plans a get together."
