Photos and Description of the San Luis Obispo vacation estate rental
5 Bedroom, 5 Bathrooms In The Main House With A 1 Bedroom 1 Bathroom Guest House

Avila Valley Apple Orchard Estate -This new listing features a Mediterranean style 4000 square foot Palace/Executive Retreat, 5 bedrooms and 5 baths, King and Queen sized beds, single beds, laundry room, gourmet kitchen, living room, family room, pool table, dining room, 3 fireplaces, covered outside patio kitchen, swimming pool, hot tub, bocce ball court, outside fire place, outside grill, outside oak pit BBQ grill and the token ping pong table. The main house sleeps 10. There is also a Guest House available for rent! The guest house is 650 square feet and is a swanky love shack, designers delight. It has 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom with a full kitchen and fireplace. It sleeps 2 very romantically. It's a perfect retreat for those looking for a little privacy. The guest house is negotiable depending upon your length of stay and size of your group.

The main house is fully loaded with things you won't even use but we have them anyway, just in case. The House is primarily powered via solar panels and solar hot water with the guest house being 'off grid' just for fun. The house is heated with in-floor thermal/radiant heat. It feels so good and no air has to blow around. The guest house is heated with a charming 2 way gas fireplace.

The kitchen was made for chefs and wannabe's. Lots of room to play around with your favorite formulas and feel free to chop right on the counter top. This is a party kitchen and it seems to always be the place to hang out and relax.

Views from any angle of the 2 acre, fully landscaped compound are stunning. The hillsides are always green and this location has 'the best weather' in SLO county. The beaches can be foggy but it's always lovely in the valley. In the morning you can sip coffee while enjoying the backyard vistas (wearing whatever you want because it's private). The views from the backyard in the summer can be mesmerizing as the coastal fog drifts over the hill and melts away as it meet the warm valley air.

The house is just a mile off of the 101 freeway via San Luis Bay Drive. The beach town of Avila and San Luis Bay is less than 2 miles away. Nearby attractions include the town of Avila and the Harbor as well as countless wine tasting, farmers markets and SLO is only 8 minutes away. There is a little market right across the street in case you need something.

We've even got a few bikes available in the garage so you can jump on the bike path and be at the beach in just minutes. We also have a few surfboards and wetsuits available if you feel like frolicking in the Pacific and becoming part of the 'food chain'.

This is a sweet house that our family built in 2000 and we have been loving it. The kids are grown now and my wife and I are hiding out in the hills north of Santa Barbara. We decided to do the VRBO thing because so many of our friends and guest have enjoyed the house (I think they enjoyed helping themselves to my wine cellar) and we didn't really want to sell it but ... share it with others. This place has it all and the proximity to everything makes it a wonderful home for a family reunion/getaway/business retreat/girls weekend. Dogs are welcome too. (no ferrets:)

My family and several groups of friends had a wonderful week at this lovely house. No matter how foggy Avila or Shell beach was, the sun was always shining on this remarkable property. We had lots of kids and adults who remained thoroughly entertained just being at the house. The owner has thought of everything from plenty of bikes for the picturesque trail to the beach, fully stocked kitchen, ping pong, pool, jacuzzi, swimming pool, lots of space for the kids to ride scooters/play games, wonderful bath products,perfectly comfy beds,pillows, linens. We enjoyed Paso wines each evening by the fireplace. The guys used the oak pit BBQ a couple of nights.Everything was just perfect. I had one user error issue and Alex was over immediately to show me how to work the sound system. The owner and son are gracious wonderful people who truly made sure everything was perfect for us. We spent hours marveling at how beautifully decorated and how beautifully landscaped the property is. It's truly paradise. The yard was ideal for a huge Easter egg hunt for the kids one morning. The house is great for large groups of families for each bedroom had its own private bath. The guest house is unbelievable! Our friends had to draw straws on who got to sleep there:) We just can't say enough about the house. I am incredibly picky and there was not one complaint. (except next time I'll get better direction on how to use the jacuzzi properly. After having kids running back and forth between the pool and spa it did get pretty gross. I should have called Alex for direction on how to empty and fill it.) Thanks to Steve and Alex for the wonderful week!

We had a group of 12 staying here and really loved everything about this accommodation. The purpose of the weekend was to go wine tasting in Paso Robles on Saturday, but we also spent a day shopping in SLO, and spent the rest of our time lounging and cooking at the house. The house is beautiful, clean, and has all the ammenities you would want for a stay like this. The rooms are all very spacious with very comfortable beds and they all have bathrooms too! We also rented the guest house which was also fantastic. The kitchen is amazing and we cooked all three of our dinners at the house instead of going out. We also enjoyed the jacuzzi, pool table, lounge chairs by the pool (it was too chilly in Feb to go in the pool, but sunny enough to relax outside), music playing throughout the house and outside, loved the outdoor fireplace and made s'mores and spent all the nights sitting around the fire chatting after dinner, bocce ball, etc. I can't say enough about how perfect this place was for our group except to say that we all said numerous times that we would love to come back and stay again!! Added bonus: The owner, Steve, was very accommodating, warm, and very welcoming in showing us his house. He seemed to really want everyone to fully enjoy the place as much as his family does. I hope we actually follow through and make it back again in the future! It was a weekend to remember!
