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 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, max $225. We love our pets too! Amenities include Free Cable, Pandora Music, and more. Free Wi-Fi with coverage throughout. Free Charter 200 Cable Package and huge 52” Led Smart Tv. 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!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. 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 do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall our stay was great. Host was communicative. Home was clean (although the masters bathroom faucet leaks and water filter in fridge needs to be replaced.) Convenient location just a handful of blocks from the beach and downtown Avila. Although good stay I thought it was a little pricey. The condo is tucked in, no ocean views.

Family Vacation 2 Toddlers & Baby
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was our first time to Avila beach and we loved it! Such a cute beach town and lots of fun activities to do as a family and of course, great times on the beach! The house was in a pretty good location and on a quiet street. The WiFi didn’t work upon arrival which was stressful, as we had to set up baby monitors and had work calls/emails to make. The response time about the issue was decent. They requested no shoes in the house, which we agree is a great household rule. However, the floors were so dirty and the bottoms of our feet were filthy by the end of the day of walking around with no shoes. Clearly the floors weren’t cleaned before our arrival. The house provided some beach toys, beach chairs, and an umbrella which was awesome. The kitchen was super underwhelming. They didn’t have any basic cooking supplies, storage bags for leftovers, etc. if you do decide to stay here, bring these kinds of things with you, the amount of kitchen supplies was pretty limited. Overall, if you want a basic place to stay, this will work for you!

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. :(

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.

Good Position But Not Well Looked After and Expensive
My husband and I stayed at your beach house Sept 14-16 and there are several things we thought you should be aware of: Several windows are inoperable. Carpets are stained and when we arrived there was a large wet spot (stain) in the hallway near the garage door. The wicker chair with white cushions in the family room was soaking wet. I sat down and about 30 seconds later I realized my pants were very wet. It had obviously been recently cleaned. On that same chair a child's sock was found crumpled up (obviously the cleaning crew missed it). Most blinds were not operable (most of the turning devices to open them are missing). Pedestal lamp in family room doesn't work Iron doesn't work and there is no ironing board Only one cleaning person arrived to clean the property upon our departure You have a nice beach house in a beautiful location and it's apparent it is not being cared for properly. You advised us to contact Beach Bum Rentals instead of booking through VRBO, which we happily did. However, had we known the level of service we would receive from them, we definitely would have gone through VRBO instead. We requested the key be at the rental unit as we were driving from Northern California and didn't want to drive an extra 16 miles (there and back) and we were told that was a lot extra for a lockbox. Seems a bit excessive but we agreed. Next, they sent the contract to me with a "no dogs policy". I had specifically run a search on VRBO for dog friendly rentals. So I called and they said it was an additional (very large) cleaning charge on top of the existing (also large) exit cleaning. We felt this was totally excessive but again we agreed as we were only two days away from our vacation date and there was little else available. What makes this amount so outrageous is the rental property is well worn with stained carpets, stained furniture, inoperable blinds and windows and generally not very clean. Last, I have no idea why this is listed as pet friendly - it has no yard.

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 condo was very conveniently located. The beach equipment was very welcomed. The furnishings were spartan and that was fine with us other that the master bed. The mattress was dated and uncomfortable with the bed frame on wheels so the bed shifted through the night if you turned. Also it needed a headboard as it was positioned under a window with window blinds for a head rest.The condo seemed clean but as they ask you not to strip the beds??? Parking a 2023 SUV was challenging especially if the bay opposite the garage was occupied.

This house was perfect for the 4 of us with space to fit more. For being a dog-friendly home (which I was thankful for), it was very clean. It was set up very well for guests, we had everything we needed. The location was perfect, so nice to be able to walk to beach and restaurants. Hope to come again soon!
