Vacation rentals with beach access in Avila Beach

Diane's Nottage was the best Airbnb I've stayed in recently - I am a clean freak, and this place did not disappoint! The ample counter space in the bathroom was a pleasure, as was the big, new shower and comfy living area. She clearly labeled all of the light switches which was a huge help. I loved the backyard garden and the overall layout of the Nottage - It felt so private and safe. I now want more reasons to visit SLO so I can book Diane's home again!!

We went for a family birthday weekend and this was a great place for that! Despite being close to the main street, it was quiet and the outside deck was a perfect spot to hang out and enjoy views of Morro Rock. Everything was clean and ready to go. We would definitely return!

We had a wonderful time staying at the Captain’s-Stunning Bay & Ocean Views! Matt and Toni were wonderful hosts . From the moment I inquired about the apartment they showed attentiveness and quick response and a very warm welcome once we arrived. I’d mentioned that my wife and I were celebrating our anniversary and they surprised us with a sparkling Rose’ wine bottle with a happy anniversary card and a happy anniversary letters banner hanging from the living room window. There was an area on the floor with doggie mat and a basket with doggie treats and amenities. They even emailed us a guidebook of the nearby restaurants and places to visit. The views from the windows facing the bay were breathtaking and picturesque and could hear sea lions barking. The apartment was very clean and didn’t even have any pet odors considering that pets are welcome. The neighborhood was peaceful and serene and we felt safe walking down to the bay even after dark. The perfect mini vacation.

Great hosts! Definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys a great view of the beach, a close walk to the pier, and for live music next door at Schooner's.

An absolutely great place to stay! It was as advertised with great decor and equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. It is conveniently located near everything the area has to offer, especially the beach! Bikes are a fun bonus! The host, Kyle, was attentive and responsive. We can't wait to return!

Had a fantastic time! The kitchen was fully stocked and they graciously provided a variety of snacks. They also had all the beach essentials from towels to boogie boards. The location was perfect, with the home right by the water. Also extremely walkable to nearby shops and restaurant. Hosts were super helpful and responded quickly. Parking not an issue. Would definitely stay again!

Epic View of Bishop's Peak. Exactly the type of space I needed to feel right at home in San Luis Obispo. Karl was so friendly and always responsive.

Absolutely loved the place. It was very quiet and secluded. I would definitely stay here again. Everything was clean. Trish and Terry had great communication. 10/10

Home away from home, such a beautiful stay, everything matched in the photos yet photos do not do any justice to seeing this cottage in person. If we’re in the area again I know where we’ll be planning to stay again.

This was my third time staying with Susan and Greg, and every stay at their cottage in Baywood has been a blast. It’s peaceful, quiet, and Susan and Greg are wonderful hosts. The cottage is in the perfect spot to be able to walk to anything in Baywood Park (be sure to check out High Street Deli and Noi’s 2nd Street Cafe!). I’ve made it a point to stay here every time I’m down in the area for a longer trip, I can’t recommend it enough.

This place was in a great location in the middle of everything. It has a great view of the beach from the street. They also gave us snack snacks and treats. That was very kind. We would definitely stay here again.

Very cute place in Oceano which was conveniently located near SLO and Pismo Beach. Violeta is a responsive host who made check-in super clear. And we loved being greeted with awesome snacks and I always very much appreciate well stocked coffee! It was perfect for our family of three. But what made it special was the s’mores fixings to accompany the fire pit on the back porch! Very nice touch.

This place was absolutely amazing! We have stayed in a bunch of AirBNB's around the country and this one was one of the tops. It made the graduation of our son and the memories we had one that will last a lifetime. Michael was an amazing host and truly responsive and made our stay and graduation weekend the best...not to mention his lovely warming gift to our son when we opened the fridge...(great local microbrews!). If you stay in SLO, ya gotta stay at this place!

Place was beautifully decorated. The place made you feel like staying inside all day. The backyard made me feel like I need to redo my own backyard in inspiration of this one. There is everything you might need in this place. The beds are extremely comfortable, the place smells nice too. I definitely recommend staying here, I would stay again. Thank you for such wonderful accommodations. I will see if you have any others to check out also.

Here’s a polished and friendly review you can use for Airbnb: We loved our stay at Thomas’s place! The location is perfect—walking distance to great bars, restaurants, and just steps from the water. The space itself is super cute, private, and comfortable. Thomas has two cats and a dog, all incredibly friendly, but the real star of the show is his co-host, Sylvester the cat. He’s got a big personality and was happy to hang out with us as much as we let him. If you’re a cat lover, you’ll adore him. The house was stocked with a few thoughtful provisions, and we especially appreciated the ice cream bars—such a nice touch. Hopefully Thomas’s place is available the next time we’re in Los Osos. We’d absolutely stay here again!

We had a fantastic stay! The location is absolutely perfect—just steps from the beach, which made it easy to enjoy morning walks, sunsets, and plenty of ocean time without any hassle. The house was clean, well-stocked, and exactly as described. A peaceful and relaxing getaway—we’d love to come back!

place was clean a decorated very nice 👌 bed was very comfortable.

Enjoyed every moment of our girls weekend getaway! Loved the view to the beach and watching the waves come in and people pass by…we parked our car in the garage and didn’t move it all weekend. We walked to the restaurants located steps away from the unit and enjoyed every bite we had - calamari and chowder at Schooners, waffles and breakfast tacos at Hidden Kitchen, and delicious fresh donuts and fritters from Surf Rat. We meandered through the antique stores and enjoyed a good night’s sleep at the end of each day in the comfy beds. Can’t wait to go back!

Great place to stay. Had everything we needed. Love the area. Belin is really friendly too.

We absolutely loved our stay here. The house was clean, cozy and fully stocked. We spent lots of time on the porch enjoying the view and watching all the happenings on the beach, talking to neighbors and the staff at Slappy’s next door and our evening campfires. We will definitely be staying here again! There are 2 parking spots in the garage ideal for smaller cars or SUVs and a lot across the street that charges $20 a day where we parked our Tundra.

What a beautiful stay- close to the water, views of the rock, walkable to food spots. It was also very clean and spacious. Especially loved the rooftop dining area! Would definitely stay again.

Great place! Very clean, awesome location, the host was very responsive and accommodating. Would stay here again.

Had a great time here for Mother's day! You really can't beat the location - it is just a couple blocks from the beach and the little tourist area nearby, with almost everything you need in easy walking distance. Everything inside was nice too, and we were very comfortable. Highly recommend!

This property has an awesome location - just steps from the beach. What really stood out was how responsive the host is. We checked in just before midnight as we were stuck in traffic but she stayed up to make sure we got in all right. Whenever we had a question, she was quick to respond. Thank you for a great stay!
