Shade Oak
Excellent place for a weekend getaway, very fun and cozy!

The Rock Loft on the Historic Adelaida Wine Trail
We had a wonderful stay! Nice and clean place. Temperature was nice in the house even though no AC, ceiling fans were great and it cooled down every evening. Peaceful and private space. This was such a comfortable and cozy loft. Kitchen had everything we needed. Bathroom was nice and clean. Bedroom was very nice and clean. Short drive to town and close to recreation, lake or beaches. We would stay here again!

Peaceful Suite by the Bay
Impressed just walking through door. Pictures do lie, this place was better. CLEEEAN. Full utensils for 4-6 people. Smart spacing and very usable Micro Fridge/Freezer/Microwave. Breakfast amenities super. Coffee is so easy and tasty with filtered water. No dishwasher installed...doesn't matter, place dishes on deck and Tracy returns dishes pronto, sparkling clean. Dog Friendly, beautiful front yard for dogs to roam. My pups loved it; soft sand, frisbee throwing, ball chasing, 4ft high fencing. Beautiful views from deck looking towards Sea Side Golf Resort. Bathroom extremely clean, shower nice, bed was more than comfortable as was sofa. Table opens to sit 4 comfortably for dining. Easy access to State Park with Beach and trails. Short walk (20-25 lovely minutes) to Baywood; or 3 minute drive. Neighborhood is quiet and friendly. Feel free to walk anywhere and everywhere. Best of all - Tracy! Fantastic, Super Nice and helpful! We bought two pieces at her pottery shop!

Entire Hobby Farm, Surrounded by Vineyards
This was our second visit to Lee Ann’s home. This time we were able to appreciate the lush summer vineyards, afternoon breezes, and even picked a few apricots. We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful views and the peace and quiet of the countryside.

Beautiful Ocean View
Place was great over all we did lose wifi wince Friday evening till sunday none tvs wouldnt connect for the kids other then that stay was great! Great view! Great neighbors very welcoming. Town and pier area were great everyone was so friendly. Over all we definitely come back!

Peaceful Cottage in an Olive Grove
Loved this AirBNB!! It’s the perfect place to rebalance your life. Connect with nature and loved ones! Close enough to outside activities but far enough to feel the quietness of nature! I really couldn’t recommend this home enough. We truly enjoyed our time there!

Back Bay Getaway - Dog Friendly - Home in Los Osos
Came here to stay for Cal Poly graduation. Emma's place is a great! Comfortable, convenient, spacious and quiet. Loved being away from the crowds and close to Montaña de Oro State Park - we walked the Bluff trail. Loved the thoughtful welcome - wine, handwritten notes and gift card for coffee to Nautical Bean. My teens loved the spa bathrobes. We would definitely like to stay here again. Thank you, Emma!

The Black Barn, Paso Robles
The black barn was amazing!! Quiet and private with beautiful views of the vineyards and only 15 minutes to downtown Paso Robles. The place was exactly as pictured and has everything we needed. April’s place was very clean and we felt right at home. We also had our infant son with us and April had a pack and play already set up for us in their cute little nook off the primary bedroom. We were sad to leave and had an amazing time!

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.

I love staying here when I’m in town. The location is really great! Walking distance to so many places. There is a wonderful coffee shop 2 doors down which is very convenient too. It’s very comfortable. Thx again.

Castoro Cellars Studio Apartment "DOS VINAS"
What a beautiful, peaceful location. I enjoyed my morning yoga by the water. Cindy was so thoughtful with snacks after a very long trip. The flexibility in my arrival was appreciated, too. Hope to visit this place again next time I’m in the area 🌺

Landing Passage! Just steps from the pier and boardwalk.
Fantastic stay. Best Airbnb yet. Beautiful, clean, artful. We had all the amenities and more. The location is the best spot in Avila Beach. David and Mellissa anticipated all our questions.

Charming Baywood Cottage
Joan's place was great! It was such a charming and quaint neighborhood. The bay was less than a minute walk down the road, and there were plenty of cute restaurants just a block or two away. The house itself was great, it is a large space for two. There were so many great small details like the elevated bath products and local fresh cream. We loved staying here and highly recommend it!

Very Spacious Edna Valley Luxury Apartment
Edna Valley is a beautiful and peaceful area. It was easy to get around to lots of places without having to be in the thick of it. I would love to stay at Diane’s property again. It had everything you need and more. The unit although on the same property, felt very private and safe. I did not meet Diane in person however, all interactions were welcoming and pleasant. Thank you for opening your spacious, tranquil, and full of amenities home to my family.

Captain's - Stunning BAY & OCEAN views! 980 sq ft!
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.

I Sea You! Morro Bay, Ca
We had a fantastic stay at Colin’s beach house! The space was spotless, beautifully furnished, and stocked with everything we could possibly need. It’s located in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood with a great deck and lovely ocean views from both inside and out. The washer and dryer were super convenient after a few days of camping, and we really appreciated that the home is dog-friendly. It's also a short, easy walk to town and local restaurants. We’d absolutely stay here again—thank you, Colin, for being such a great host!

URGH Casita (Small House in a barn)
great relaxing stay. so peaceful and quiet. perfect weekend stay for my daughter's graduation.

Front Row on Cayucos Beach
We enjoyed our stay and the great hang out space that came with the unit. Great location. Brendan was next door and his restaurant was a great 20 second walk from our front door! great live music on staurday as well. If you are looking for mellow and sleepy, not really a good place on a weekend. The neach was quite active .. We'll likely go back!

Pet Friendly Bright & Airy SLO Apartment
This is a lovely place - so bright and airy! The neighborhood is very quiet, with easy access to short walks. Perfect if you bring your dog, too. I loved the little touches that make this place special, such as live plants, nice art on the walls, color-coordinated towels and furniture. Also, views of the surrounding hills. And a charger for our hybrid car! The apartment is squeaky clean; the hosts are responsive and helpful. Would love to stay here again on one of our visits to the Central coast!

Eclectic apartment in the heart of downtown SLO.
I stay at Airbnbs often and this one was at the top of the list! The decor is adorable and it feels like a warm hug when you walk in. There were lots of little touches that made the place feel extra special and Jenifer was friendly and responsive. The location is amazing! We were able to walk to downtown and enjoy the restaurants and shops. The best part was the comfortable bed. I never sleep well the first night at a new place but I slept like a baby.

Your guide to Cambria
All About Cambria
Located in San Luis Obispo County between San Francisco and Los Angeles, this seaside village attracts visitors from all over due to its rocky cliffs, beaches, and forest land open for exploration and recreation. Moonstone Beach, named for its smooth stones, offers the opportunity to spot gray and humpback whales, dolphins, seabirds and otters. Elephant Seal Lookout, just under two miles north, permits the chance to see the newborn baby elephant seals in the winter months or the males courting the females during the springtime. Cambria is a paradise for hikers, with Bluff Trail and Marine Terrace Trail offering seaside views. You can also get out on the water here with outfitters offering surfing, sailing, and fishing experiences.
Though it is on the smaller side, the town of Cambria has a long history that has been preserved by Historical Society volunteers working to retain homes, storefronts and places of worship that date back to the 1870s. The most recognizable landmark near Cambria, however, is Hearst Castle. The luxurious and beautifully-crafted structure dates back centuries and encompasses a vast area of land.
Wine lovers will enjoy exploring the local vineyards, which take advantage of the area’s unique coastal climate to produce a broad selection of varietals.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Cambria
Cambria sees an average of 300 sunny days a year, with the summer months of June and July nice and mild due to the marine layer keeping the town cool. Fall brings some of the warmest temperatures of the year, making September and October ideal months for Cambria vacation rentals. In October, the annual Cambria Scarecrow Festival takes over with well over 450 decorated scarecrows placed throughout town to celebrate the fall harvest. Winters are mild, and Cambria’s historic buildings are dressed up with holiday lights. In spring, Cambria’s hills are dotted with pops of purples, yellow, and orange wildflowers and the landscape is alive with nesting birds, frolicking marine life, and the first baby deer of the season.
