Yes, our home is PET FRIENDLY! If you are traveling with one well-trained, socialized smaller to medium sized dog, we'd be happy to host your dog as well. Tell me in advance if you are planning to bring a furry friend. I would like to know a few details about your dog before booking. (such as size, breed) Just be aware that the patio area does NOT have a grass area, but you are within a 15-minute walk to Rancho Grande Park that your dog will be sure to love. There are many dog friendly beaches, hikes and restaurants in our area and we can also direct you to all of those. We also ask that you do not allow your pet on the furniture or beds.

If you would like beach chairs or a beach umbrella for your stay, please let me know and I will have them available. A pack and play crib is also available for use, upon request.

There is a strict NO parties, events or social gatherings rule. Violation of this expectation may result in immediate cancellation by Airbnb with no refund. Thank you for your cooperation.

For extended stays beyond 30-days, we will require a mid-stay cleaning at that time which will be an extra $100. This will be required every month during your stay if beyond 30-days to ensure the home and its items are getting a good deep clean in between your own daily cleanings.

Per the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code, Chapter 3.24 titled “Uniform Transient Occupancy Tax Law” we are required by law to collect a 13.5% Transient Occupancy Tax (based on the total cost of your stay). This fee is included in the price of your stay. Thank you for your understanding.
