We stayed in this lovely Condo for five nights. It was our favorite rental so far. The beach view was magnificent and the decor was quite lovely. The beds were also awesome. We appreciated being able to park in the garage and having an extra spot to park outside. This is definitely a 5 star location.

This was the 4th time staying at this house. We love it. You can sit on the front porch and watch the waves and people. It is in close walking distance to beach and shops. Our favorite restaurant in Avila is The Old Custom House. This unit comes with parking in garage and one parking pass, which is very nice when having people visit. The only thing this unit does not have is a BBQ. If it had one it would be perfect. We would recommend this unit to anybody.

The condo is a block form the beach with a great view from patio of ocean front. You can hear the waves crashing at night when you sleep.
Condo was well setup for our family get together. We had 3 at the place and 2 more staying at hotel around the corner. Condo was large enough for us to have several meals at the condo for all 5 of us.

You can't beat staying in a beautiful condo that is literally a block away from the beach! This Avila Beach condo was clean, spacious, and had everything our family needed for a perfect vacation stay in Avila. The host was easy to reach for last minute questions. The decor and furniture and bedrooms were clean, and comfortable. We rented the second floor condo which came with a parking pass for parking in their little lot, but also, came with use of a one-car garage which was handy because we were at Avila during Cal Poly Graduation and the place was packed that weekend. We loved it! We will rent from this company again for sure.

Paradise with a View!
This is the second time we’ve stayed at 90 San Luis St. C., and it is always a joy. So conveniently close to the water and promenade, that you can walk right down for a morning coffee at Kraken, or breakfast at the Custom House. Had take out one evening at Ocean Grill, and the property had all the things you need to enjoy a family-style meal at the large dining room table.
Couple quick notes: save your rental agreement so that you know what is expected of you for checking out. Unlike most VRBO’s, this property does not have a welcome binder with the procedures. There’s only a lucite placard that tells you the wifi code/laundry room code, and information on contacting the property management. Second, make sure you read through the house amenities provided when you’re considering the property so you know what to expect - there is no grill, nor a grilling pan, so don’t expect to be BBQ’ing steak/chicken/fish. And, like 99% of the properties in Avila, there is NO A/C. Do not be confused by the wall mounted thermostat that makes you think there is! Not sure if that’s disengaged for rental, but regardless you don’t get to use it.
We love love LOVE this property! We’ve come to Avila for over 20 years and this is by far our favorite place to stay. Come enjoy the best kept secret beach in California!!

The condo was great. Clean, spacious and excellent location! Sleeping to the sound of the ocean was wonderful! Very close to the ocean and restaurants so no need to drive anywhere to eat. Close to grocery stores (about 10-15 min drive) to load up on groceries. The unit was very hot when we arrived and the AC was broken. We were not aware of this and fans were not provided. Once the house opened up, it cooled off but it would have been nice for management to be more proactive about the situation. Customer service was not very good. We asked for a pack n play to be in the unit and it was not there on arrival. We called management and they were very rude, claiming we had never asked for it. Furthermore, when they finally said one was being sent over, they would not give a time that it would arrive. It was late in the evening, so it caused unnecessary stress. I understand if someone forgot to put the pack n play in the unit, but there's no need to be rude about it. This was at the start of the stay so it wasn't a great way to begin the vacation. The location made up for it!

We have rented this property several times before. The property is in a very good location. The owner needs to update several things especially the two rugs. They are old, dirty and stained. The large kitchen garbage can was old, stained and broken. My husband and I bought a new one and left it there. Even that made a nice improvement. The Coastal Vacation Staff is very good and we have rented with them for several years.

The location and view was top notch! The condo was as advertised, the water hot, and the fireplace delightful. The only thing I was a little disappointed in was that there were not some of the staples I expected to be there, like sugar and creamer.
