Windermere Villa-Jacuzzi, Ocean Views,Ping Pong
If you are looking to stay in the area, this is the place. We will return. Wonderful home, location, views and very clean.

Wine Down Cottage by the Sea
Wow! The living and dining rooms were cozy, the kitchen had TONS of things so we could cook, both bedrooms were comfortable and the bathrooms had everything you'd need. We parked in the driveway and the front door was only steps away. We especially enjoyed the outdoor seating and the hot tub. It was only 4 minutes to town and 5 minutes to the beach, so it was very well located. Best part was that it was just as nice as the photos and the communication with Diane was fantastic. We would return in a heartbeat and would recommend 100%.

URGH Casita (Pequeña Casita en un granero)
Great accommodations with serene views. Super peaceful and immaculate rooms. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again. The backyard goats are great plus!

Pelican Cove Vacation Rental at the Back Bay
Kyes place was so peaceful, beautiful and relaxing. We loved getting to use the spa every evening after hiking.

Baywood Casita- kids, dogs, hot tub
We just got back from a wonderful week in beautiful Los Osos. We were in town to visit family that lives right down the street, they have a a couple dogs, that Kylee was happy to let us have visit the casita, and they loved all the room to run and play. The house is exactly as pictured, perfect for a couple, and would also work well with a couple of kiddos. We used the hot tub several nights, the sky was clear, stars out, and the weather was nice and cool for long soaks after walks through the beautiful, at the end of the block, Elfin Forest. The bed was perfect not too soft not too firm. The kitchen was stocked well, Kylee even had a basket of goodies and drinks on the counter, to welcome us, very sweet:) We come out to Los Osos sometimes twice a year, and we usually stay in Morro Bay @ the Harbor Suites, but from now on, if this home is available we will stay here every time! Thank you Kylee for sharing your little piece of paradise❤️

The Famous Zen Den Beach House Los Osos /Morro Bay
An amazing stay. Very beautiful home with records to listen to an out side tub to relax in under the stars. The only disappointment was I couldn’t get most of the out side lights to come on. Other than that you can’t beat this place

Bishops Peak Retreat-Family Friendly, NEW Spa+AC!
Very nice house. The number of rooms were perfect for our group - 8 adults and 2 children. Well stocked kitchen, clean bathrooms and peaceful backyard.

VACATION ON THE BEACH
We absolutely loved our stay here. The house was clean, cozy and fully stocked. We spent lots of time on the porch enjoying the view and watching all the happenings on the beach, talking to neighbors and the staff at Slappy’s next door and our evening campfires. We will definitely be staying here again! There are 2 parking spots in the garage ideal for smaller cars or SUVs and a lot across the street that charges $20 a day where we parked our Tundra.

Two Palms Cottage at Beebee St.
We loved staying at Beth and Paul's house - everything was super well equipped and set up, the house felt super homey and comfortable, and everything we could have possibly needed was there. They were great communicators, super helpful and friendly and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Beautiful Ocean View
I recently had the pleasure of staying at a beautiful Airbnb by the beach, and it was an unforgettable experience! The location was absolutely perfect, just steps away from the sandy shores and stunning ocean views. Waking up to the sound of waves crashing and the sight of the sunrise over the water was pure bliss. The Airbnb itself was beautifully decorated, with a cozy yet modern vibe that made it feel like a home away from home. The living space was spacious and inviting, with large windows that let in plenty of natural light. The kitchen was well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals while enjoying the view. The outdoor patio was a highlight, perfect for sipping coffee in the morning or enjoying a glass of wine in the evening. The host was incredibly welcoming and provided us with great local tips, from nearby restaurants to hidden beach spots. Overall, I highly recommend this Airbnb for anyone looking for a relaxing beach getaway. It truly felt like a slice of paradise!

Walk to the Village of Arroyo Grande
We were very pleased with our stay at Anny’s place. Everything we needed was provided. The apartment was beautifully decorated. Anny was very friendly and and always helpful.

Thank you Staci. Beautiful home in wine country. 5 stars all the way around

Renovated Cottage Arroyo Grande Village
After moving to Orlando from California last year, I have missed the Arroyo Grande, Pismo Beach, and SLO areas more than any other place in my home state. I am so happy to have found such a truly wonderful spot with Aaron’s cozy yellow cottage! From gorgeous views to wonderful amenities to a perfect location so close to the AG Village, you truly cannot beat this place. The kitchen was an especially fantastic part of the house, as it was stocked with anything and everything we needed during our stay! Aaron was incredibly communicative and friendly from our very first to our very last interaction. I will stay here every time I am in the area in the future as long as it’s available, because I truly felt so at home. Thank you Aaron for providing such a clean, quaint, and quiet space for my parents and I to stay while we were in town for my sister’s graduation from Cal Poly! We cannot wait to be back!

Cozy, Clean and Close to downtown SLO!
The place had everything we could have needed. It was an easy walk to town, a park and several trails and was easy to find. The neighborhood was safe and we felt comfortable walking together and alone and any time of day or night. I misunderstood the key lock and Paige answered my call and immediately sent her son to help. We all highly recommend Paige and her house for any trip to SLO. Robin Torre

Hit the Beach from The Spot in San Luis Obispo
From the moment we arrived at The Spot in Pismo Beach, we knew we were in for something special. This Airbnb is a true gem, combining comfort, style, and the perfect beach vibe. The location couldn’t be better. Just a short walk to the beach, we were able to enjoy the stunning coastal views whenever we wanted. Whether it was sunrise walks on the sand or watching the sunset over the ocean, the scenery was absolutely breathtaking. The space itself is immaculate—modern, cozy, and beautifully decorated with a perfect balance of elegance and relaxation. We loved how well-equipped the kitchen was, making it easy to cook at home after a day of exploring. The living area was spacious and inviting, and the bed was one of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in. The host was fantastic—super responsive, and friendly to ensure we had everything we needed for a stress-free stay. Whether you’re here for a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a solo retreat, The Spot is the place to stay

Beachfront 3 BDR Downtown Pismo Beach.
Perfect spot, perfect condo. Very much enjoyed this beautiful home for our stay. Everything was clean and comfy, good assortment of amenities, can’t beat the ocean views for sure. The gated private parking was a huge plus as we were driving a dually one ton and finding street parking would have been a nightmare. Will be my first place to check for availability when I return to Pismo.

4bd w/ Pool/Hot Tub. Quiet and relaxing. Pets ok!
The property with its yard, pool and views is really beautiful. Whitney was very communicative and responsive through our stay.

California central coast 2-bedroom haven
This is such a special place. My only regret is that we didn’t stay longer! It’s a perfect central location - close to SLO, Paso Robles, Los Olivos, etc. We loved hearing the chickens in the morning, walking through the garden and enjoying the hot tub/pool amenities. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway, this is the place for you!!

Huge 2 br 2 ba Guest House sleeps 6
Beautiful location, peaceful, relaxing, and easy to drive to other local activities. Had everything we needed.

Estate Vineyard Views, Pool, Hot Tub, & Tennis
Thank you Jeffery for great service and nice experience. It’s a lovely and peaceful place, very quiet and pleasant. All the amenities were functional and convenient. The only things you need to take in consideration it’s pretty far out from the main attractive points of this area but at the same time you enjoy beautiful rides so it’s also allowed you enjoy a unique experience.

OCEAN VIEW! 1 Block to the Sea~ 2 KINGs & 2 Queens
I liked the property. Nice views of the ocean and vacant lots on either side, providing plenty of privacy. Walking distance from Fiscalini Ranch Preserve. Christy is a thorough host, who is proactive and responsive. I would recommend staying at this property.

MS Fair 7/16• 20% OFF for 3-Nites• Pool•Kitch•Slp6
Perfect place to escape for the weekend. Close to everything but far enough away to be in a peaceful quiet neighborhood.

Wine Country Bungalow w/ Pool, Spa
Quiet and quaint. The guest house is right at the pool and, while on the same property as the main house, feels set apart. Loved the pool area and grill, very close to town and multiple wineries along the Adelaida trail.
