Our 3 rentals are 2 story units and each unit has 2 bedrooms and 11/2 baths.  The small apartment complex sits on top of a hill which allows for the beautiful view. There is a balcony in front with a gorgeous ocean view where you can sit and listen to the sound of the waves crash on the beach. Our units have a 2-car garage with automatic opener. Inside, they are fully furnished and can be rented for a few days or a few weeks. We also have an on-site laundry facility for your convenience. It is a 2-block walk down to the ocean. The south-facing beach is perfect for laying out in the sun, surfing, body boarding, people watching or swimming. It is much warmer, less foggy & more serene than surrounding beaches. It typically averages a high of 70 to 75 degrees most of the year with cooler evenings. Lifeguards are on duty during weekends, summer months and holidays.

The entire downtown area of Avila Beach has been rebuilt in the last 2 years. It boasts a fun new children’s park, a small grocery store and deli as well as new restaurants, wine tasting and stores. It is no longer a rundown little town. It is beautiful, upscale and the place to be. The weather is warm year round and it is consistently much warmer and less foggy than Pismo Beach.

If you enjoy wine tasting you will feel like you are in Heaven. There are many small wine makers and tasting rooms in nearby See Canyon and San Luis Obispo. The many large and small wineries in Paso Robles are only about 30 minutes away. If you want to visit the wineries in Solvang and Santa Ynez (as shown in the movie "Sideways"), it should take you about 45 minutes to get there. How much fun will it be to visit the wineries during the day and come home to B-B-Q on the deck in the evening as you listen to the waves crash on the sand?

Avila has 2 public piers (one is located at Port San Luis) for fishing or just an evening stroll. If you like outdoor evenings, bring wood for the fire pit at Port San Luis (less than 2 miles away) for a bonfire. You can catch whale watching or fishing excursions from Port San Luis also. There is a fun Fish & Farmers Market every Friday night from April through September on the ocean boardwalk.  They have great food, a live band, face painting, a bounce house, fresh produce, fresh flowers, organic goodies, lots of nice people and a fun time!  This is the place you can buy the best kettle corn you have ever tasted. All the locals eat at Fat Cat's Restaurant (at Port San Luis) or at their booth (at Farmers). If you visit the pier at Port San Luis, there is a fresh fish market, an upscale restaurant on the end of the pier, dozens of seals and sea lions basking on the pier landings and plenty of places to put your fishing pole in the water for no charge. It is hard to find free activities these days! It is fun just to walk on the pier, watch the seals & birds & otters, watch the commercial fishing boats come in and unload, watch the fisherman clean their catch or to just hang out in the clean, fresh ocean air.

Almost anything you could possibly want to see or do is fairly close by.  There are lakes within a 20-minute drive for wake boarding, fishing, water skiing or picnicking. The little town of Arroyo Grande has antique shops, many restaurants, frequent activities, a creek with a swinging bridge, weekly Farmers Market, an eight complex movie theater and some great outlet stores. Arroyo Grande is next to Pismo Beach & this area is well known for the nightlife, surfing area, restaurants and sand dunes.  There is so much to do in and around Avila Beach.  Or, if you choose, you can just relax in your rental and enjoy quiet time with your loved ones.Come & visit us for a few days or weeks.
