SHARI'S PLACE - UNEXPECTED CHARM; STAND-ALONE COTTAGE

Cozy and quiet is this adorable stand alone home in Santa Margarita. **There is no longer a gas "stove" in the kitchen** We have substituted a new Air Fryer, two burner gas stove top and a large electric skillet. "Margarita" is conveniently located in the middle of our fabulous San Luis Obispo County wine country. Just 10 minutes to San Luis Obispo on the South bound HWY 101 and 20 minutes to Paso Robles on North bound HWY 101. This home is very close to town and a wonderful place for walking. In town, you will find Ancient Peaks wine tasting and across the street is Santa Margarita Adventures for Zip lining and tours. I do my best to keep my house extremely clean and well maintained and very well equipped I personally make sure that all all linens are in top condition for your comfort. Our home is powered by solar! Always doing our best for your best experience.

Great Getaway Weekend
We came up for a weekend to visit our son at SLO and do a little wine tasting in Paso Robles. The location was perfect, just minutes away from both. Nice local restaurants in waking distance if you don’t want to cook. This place is so cute and clean we can’t wait to come back.

Nice, quiet place!
We loved our stay here. The house had all the amenities you could possibly need along with a nice yard. The house is in a quiet little neighborhood, within walking distance to town. Shari was very kind and accommodating and allowed us to bring our dog. We enjoyed every second of this place.

Quiet, charming, comfortable, clean, private, homey!
We really enjoyed staying in Shari’s adorable guest house. What a charming, clean, and comfortable place with separate bedroom, bathroom, living room, kitchen and even a laundry room. We really enjoyed our stay and Shari was a wonderful host. Thank you for having us and we look forward to staying again. Santa Margarita is such a delightful town.

Great little place
This great little house was in a wonderful location. We went down to SLO for a wedding and also down to Arroyo grande for a party. It was great to come back up the hill into a tiny quiet town into a quiet neighborhood. We were able to walk to a lovely breakfast every morning, ancient peaks tasting and restaurant, and a small lovely market. We would stay here again if we’re ever back in the area.

long weekend stay
The property was great, clean, nicely appointed, and had everything we needed for our 4 day stay (we were here for the Cal Poly Family Weekend). We were able to BBQ, cook, relax and hang out inside and outside the property. A close walk to the downtown area, so we were able to browse shops, dine, and enjoy the small town of Santa Margarita. Our hosts were great and helpful. We highly recommend this VRBO and hope we can return someday soon

When it works, it works!!
Goodness, there are just so many positives of Shari’s Place that it’s difficult to write a review! We stayed at Shari’s Place while traveling for a wedding. The cottage was exactly as pictured except Shari had left pastries and wine (from the vineyard we attended the wedding at) for us and our arrival. Shari is an exceptionally thoughtful and intentional host and her place mirrors that. There are so many amenities that make this place feel perfect. We were able to cook for many meals and everything I could have possibly needed was there. The beds are comfortable, the pillows are down, and the cottage is very clean. An aunt of mine who has helped manage luxury rental properties for work stopped by before the wedding. After no more than a few minutes in Shari’s place she exclaimed, “wow when it works, it really does work!”. It truly is what a Vrbo or any vacation rental should be. We would love to return, there is so much to see and do but always so little time. When we do, Shari’s place is the obvious lodging choice.

Relaxing Stay
This was my second time staying at this property. As before, the property was immaculate, very comfortable, and fully appointed. Shari is an amazing host, and does everything she can to make guests feel welcome. I will definitely stay here the next time I visit the San Luis Obispo area. For first time visitors to San Luis Obispo, it is important to know that the property is about eight or nine miles north of SLO on the 101 freeway. This is absolutely not a problem, but just something to point out for those who are unfamiliar with the area. The town of Santa Margarita is quite small, but very nice. There are shops and a winery within walking distance of the property, and I encourage visitors to check these out. Overall, an excellent place to stay!

Five Star Vacation Rental!
My husband and I have stayed in numerous vacation rentals over the years, both in the U.S. and abroad. Never have we seen such attention to detail and comfort as in this charming cottage in the peaceful town of Santa Margarita. As a vacationer, you can literally pack just a toothbrush and a change of clothes, because the house is equipped with everything you need: full-size refrigerator, great stove/oven, fluffy towels aplenty, hairdryer, cooking pans and utensils, binder offering maps and guides for this region, etc. etc. If you can think of it, the owners have already provided it. Also, the house is immaculate and well-maintained, with a lovely little covered patio in the back yard for al fresco dining. We couldn't have asked for anything better and highly recommend this location for an enjoyable getaway.

Cozy spot
Instructions for WiFi not clear. Different password on app and paper inside. Paper password is all uppercase, but we discovered it only works lower case. All in all, comfy little spot. Perfect for a couple day get away. Not having to clean anything at the end is a nice touch.

Great Place In Santa Margarita!
We have family in the area and wanted to find a place close. Shari's place is perfect. Great host, very friendly and the neighborhood was nice and quiet. We enjoyed the cottage and we had everything we needed to settle in. We will be back for sure when we come out to visit and we recommend this place for location, price, and service. Thanks Shari!
