Cottage By The Sea - 1900's beach cottage 100 ft from beach

Enjoy amazing views of the beach, white water, and pier from this darling early 1900's cottage. Newly renovated with great attention to detail, you will love relaxing in our home away from home. Every inch of the cottage was remodeled with state of the art appliances, views from the entire main living area & kitchen, and a large bathroom with pedestal sink & a charming claw foot tub/shower combo. Plenty of off street parking, a large deck on which you may take in the views and a patio with fire pit allow you to live comfortably inside and out. With the beach only a half block away, it's literally your backyard! The house is 100 ft from the beach!

A little heaven on Earth
Loved this little bungalow. It was perfect for our small family get-together. It was across the street from my favorite coffee shop (Kraken) and the view of the ocean was incredible. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful Beachfront Home
Best vacation I've been on in a long time. Watched humpback whales breech from the porch, spent lazy days at the beach, and cozy nights by the fire. Perfect trip, the home was adorable and well-equipped. Thanks for everything, we hope to be back!

Truly a home away from home!
From the moment we saw this amazing little beach house, we were in love. While thoughtfully preserving the charm of this vintage cottage, the owners have created an exceptionally comfortable, tasteful and functional home with all the bells and whistles of modern living....we loved the gourmet kitchen, outstanding ocean views, deck with gas fireplace and patio heater, comfortable beds, roomy bathroom with claw foot soaker tub...to name a few!

Cottage review
Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. 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: The house is in a great location on Avila Beach - as advertised, very close to the beach and the cute downtown Avila shops and restaurants. Our family of 4 found the house to be on the smaller side ( 2 adults and 2 -12 year olds). We felt this most when it came time for showers - one shower is tough to share across 4 people. It was nice that the property provided beach chairs and toys in a wagon. Wish they had provided beach towels as well - just one less thing to have to pack! The outdoor area was the real selling point for us on choosing this property - the fire pit and lots of comfy chairs! The only downside was the bees - we tried to have breakfast on the outdoor dining table and had lots of wasps that were on the aggressive side. Given the per night price of nearly $500, we expected a bit more of luxurious supplies in the house - cheap toilet paper, no toilet paper holder. On the flip side, the beds were comfortable and the sheets were the best! I had to call to get our deposit back after nearly a week had passed since we checked out. Overall, we think the cottage is a cute home in Avila, but not the right place for our family of 4 given the 2 bedrooms, 1 shower situation.

Wonderful stay in Avila
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This cottage is better than pictures can provide. It's a must stay for any couple or small family. One block from the Avila (strip) and beach, morning view of the ocean and every amenity you need to feel at home. We purchased fresh fish from Merseas 2 of the 4 nights and cooked. The kitchen is perfect and the view of the sunset deserves homecooked dinners with wine. No reason to go out. This little cottage has all of the offerings you need. If it's available for our next trip in, it will be booked.

Location is a dream! Owner’s perks, not so much...
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: The house & location are amazing!The management was organized & very responsive! The toilet was making an odd sound & they sent someone over straight away to take a look at it. They also sent someone to take the trash cans in/out for us - the owner’s rule book requires their guests to do that chore. The new “Owner’s Parking” spot in the driveway (making guests tandem park) is obnoxious & entitled. If the owner’s show up unannounced & park, they are all the way into the property which feels invasive & can easily see guests walking through to the laundry/bathroom, in parts of the outdoor space & inside the house bedrooms & showering when the windows are open. Doesn’t feel safe knowing unidentified people can show up anytime & be in your space. The house is darling & nicely equipped, with the exception of the sofa. It is oddly noisy when you sit or move around on it & doubly so when opened up for a bed.

A gem in Avila Beach
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 54 San Luis Street is a great home—very updated, bright, cheery, and just steps from the Ocean and the shops at Avila Beach. Don't let the square footage concern you; this place never felt cramped due to the great layout and numerous windows that flood the home with light and fresh ocean breezes.

Even Better the second time. Consider Construction.
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second time staying at this place with the family. It is perfect for us with only 2 kids. Great views, well stocked with beach supplies and easy parking. The location is key and you are a short walk to the beach and all the shops. As of this review they have just broken ground on construction directly across the street. While we were there there wasn't a lot of activity but there was some early morning equipment moving around. Just something to consider. We will definitely be back here in the future.

Most Wonderful Cottage Stay
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and son and I had a wonderful stay at the Cottage By The Sea. The house was cozy, comfortable, bright, and so well equipped with everything from kitchen to beach supplies. The proximity to the beach and restaurants/shops of Avila Beach was so convenient, but we loved the view of the ocean from the house and the fun fireplace deck seating so much that we often just stayed home. Exactly as in pictures, but the authentic, home-like feel in person was beyond expectations. Sparkling clean with excellent amenities - great use of small space with large kitchen, large bathroom, great indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, and state of the art laundry.

October Stay
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at 54 San Luis the entire month of October and loved every minute of it. Due to the length of our stay, it was easy for us to settle in and feel just like locals. Our morning beach walks were always pleasant and one day even rewarded us with whale watching from the shore. Of course, nothing beats watching the sun go down while sipping a glass of wine on the deck. This beach house is well furnished and stocked. It’s good to know in advance that we don’t need to bring certain necessities. We have stayed here for several years and continue to appreciate that every year there are always improvements being made. The owners obviously love this place.As always, the management team was quite attentive and courteous. I requested some additional utensils and batteries for remotes. It seemed like they were at the door (full of smiles and positivity) to deliver shortly after I hung up the phone. They were also very courteous and considerate in scheduling installation of a new dishwasher.We are repeat customers and intend to continue the trend.

Avila Beach Cottage Getaway
We were very pleased with this property. The proximity to the beach and boardwalk made it very convenient to enjoy the beach area. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, plates and pots and pans which made meal preparation much easier. The bedroom beds were very comfortable. Overall the place was very well appointed and included a awesome laundry room. The only thing I could say that would have made the experience even more delightful would be to have a more comfortable mattress on the sofa bed. All in all this was truly a five star experience.
