Pet Friendly Family Retreat in Avila Beach - Perfect Beach Getaway

Avila Beach Gem is a cozy elegant house tucked away in a quiet area in the quaint town of Avila Beach. 2 blocks from the beach, this house is perfect for families or a group of friends that would fit 8 comfortably. All within walking distance, Avila Beach Gem allows you to explore the town’s colorful beach town vibe, visit local seafood restaurants and wine tasting room, hike in nearby nature reserves, book a massage or soak at the outdoor hot springs, and kayak along the coast.

The house is surrounded by beautiful old oaks trees and cherry blossoms in the spring. There is a fully stocked kitchen, 3 spacious bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a private deck with BBQ, 2-car garage, pack n play, strollers and beach gear —our home ensures you won't need a car once you arrive. Everything is within walking distance! ??

The roomy floor plan, larger than 1700 sq ft, boasts mountain views, a private back deck surrounded by trees, and a charcoal BBQ grill. Granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances make the kitchen a gourmet's delight. Unlike most in Avila, our home has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, accommodating 8 people. A 2-car garage and laundry center with washer and dryer add convenience. ??

The master suite features a queen bed, his and hers closets, and a connected bathroom with double sinks, tub, and shower. The second bedroom has a queen bed, while the third room offers two twin beds. A sleeper couch in the living room provides additional sleeping space. ??

5 REASONS TO STAY AT AVILA BEACH GEM ??
1.) LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. We are located in the town of Avila and a short walk to the beach, restaurants, golfing. Once you arrive, the car is usually parked in the 2 car garage the whole time and enjoy walking to everything in Avila. Our house is located in a quiet area so there is plenty of privacy and quietness at night. No restaurant or bar noise late into the evening, just the peacefulness! ??

2. AVILA BEACH GEM EXPERIENCE. During your stay with us, our home becomes your home, and we want to ensure your experience is truly memorable. We do our best to provide impeccable service and amenities so you can focus your attention on family, friends, and fun while on your holiday! ??

3. SIZE MATTERS - Top quality family time can be hard to enjoy crowded around a small dinner table or a small hotel room. Weighing in at nearly 1700 sq. ft. (4-5 times the average size hotel room) Our house is capable of seating up to 8 at the dining room table. The bedrooms are large so you don't feel like you are in a closet. And don't forget the spacious living room area with a large couch and two other soft comfortable seating chairs! ??

4. CHILDREN FRIENDLY. We have children, so we understand the hassles of lugging high chairs, play pens, strollers whenever we travel. So we have eliminated that for you, and provided all these items right here in the house. There are also books, toys, movies and games to entertain the little ones when not on the beach! All new beach gear included: towels, sand toys, umbrella and chairs to take along to the beach. ??

5. PET FRIENDLY. One (1) dog maximum weight 45 pounds will be considered. There is a non-refundable pet fee. The pet fee is $75/per night, max $225. We love our pets too! ??UNIQUE AMENITIES ?+ Free Cable, Pandora Music, and more ?+ Free Wi-Fi with coverage throughout ?+ Free Charter 200 Cable Package ?+ HUGE 52” LED SMART HDTV ?+ Full Washer & Dryer & Detergent ?+ BBQ (charcoal) on a Private Balcony

Your access includes the entire condo and a two-car garage – it's all yours! We've set up the beach house with your comfort and enjoyment in mind. Feel right at home!

Clean & Comfortable in Good Location
Property is exceptionally clean. There is plenty of comfortable seating in the living and dining areas for the three bedrooms which is not always the case with vacation rentals. The beds were comfortable. Short walk to the beach and easy drive to SLO. Thanks for a nice family getaway!

Would stay again!
We loved it all. Downstairs has two rooms and bathroom. Main floor has another room and bathroom plus kitchen. Everything was clean. Windows were cute and opening them allowed the perfect breeze. Washer dryer worked great. And so nice to have pods and dryer sheets! Upstairs shower = cool. Everything spacious. Location = 🙂🙂🙂🙂. We took daily walks - 2 blocks to the ocean and stores and restaurants. Driveway is quite steep. Not a problem for us. No grass area for pup but our pup isn’t picky and used the top of driveway - narrow patch of dirt.

set back and downhill from the street
Lovely property inside, the bathtubs are pretty tall so if you have someone who will struggle with stepping over, plan ahead. The pull out bed is right in the kitchen/great room so I am glad that we didn't actually need that bed for our party. The biggest surprise was that the home was set way down from the street, none of the pictures reveal that aspect.

No place to park!
We picked this place because it was dog friendly and had two parking spots. The parking spots are VERY tiny, if you need two spots and your not driving a small car don't stay here. The other reason was dog friendly, there is only a very small weedy spot for a dog. There were also black ants in every room. This was probably one of the worst Vacation rentals I have ever rented. :(

Beach House on a Hill
This property was excellent for 3 couples or a small family to hang out together. Because it has a very steep driveway and is situated on a hill, it is not really within walking distance to the shops, restaurants, and beach. The tubs are very high and could prove to be a problem for children and older adults. The balcony was very small and the furnishings in the downstairs bedrooms were very sparse (lacked mirrors and dressers). Generally, however, it was a very comfortable spot to enjoy the beautiful surroundings of the Avila Beach community.

Thanksgiving Get Away
The beach house was perfect for our family get away. My family was very comfortable and we enjoyed the ease of walking 2 blocks to town and the beach. The house was very clean! Our dog enjoyed watching the birds from the balcony. I even made Thanksgiving dinner in the well stocked and updated kitchen. We will definitely stay at this property again.

We had a wonderful week-long stay. The property is at the end of a street and Avila beach is a short walk from the property. The property was exactly as described with plenty of beach toys, a nice big kitchen with almost everything you could need. We would definitely return!

Nice getaway
Wanted to escape our home and the bad Northern California air. This home gave us a nice respite from all the upheaval that has surrounded us since March. The place was super clean, we appreciated the TV in the very large master bedroom; and the fact they accepted two dogs. It was near the beach and gave us everything we needed, including a private garage from which you could enter the house. Highly recommend this fun place. ..

The property was very clean with a fun beachy decor. Worked perfectly for our little get away which ended up being wine tasting instead of volleyball. We did find the garage parking very tight for two mid-size vehicles, particularly when the neighbors were parked in their spot.

Good size, well-furnished, needs work
Overall this property is fine if you can tolerate many minor issues. It was very clean, well-furnished, lots of extra towels, helpful extras like beach chairs, sand toys, pack-n-play, high chair, games and puzzles. One bathroom is great, the other is tiny. Nice to have a room with two twin beds for our kids but the beds creaked and squeaked really loudly! Kitchen is reasonably well-stocked with pots, pans, utensils - with a few notable exceptions, like a tea kettle. Also there were several items missing (sheet pans were re-stocked during our stay - thanks!). Many lightbulbs were out; property manager sent out someone to fix it during our stay, which was good. But neglected to alert us to his presence and he wasn’t able to replace all the lights that were out. Also almost every light in this house flickers especially when fridge is running. We had to keep most of the lights off to spare a migraine sufferer in our family. Really disappointed that several of the cranks on the windows were labeled as broken so some of the rooms were quite stuffy. This seems like it could be a fire hazard if windows are inoperable. Property manager was responsive to issues that that could be easily addressed during our stay. Overall the place is fine, great size for our family, convenient to walk down to beach and village. But it has some large maintenance issues that need to be addressed.
