Beautiful Country Home

MichaelRating, 5 stars5 days ago
Excellent place for our extended family. The main room is big enough for everyone to hang out together comfortably, plus there is an enclosed sunporch where you can take business calls. I was a little concerned beforehand about one jack-and-jill bathroom for two bedrooms/eight people, but with all the other bathrooms in the house it worked out fine. The young kids loved the farm animals on site. The owner Laurie responded quickly to all questions.

⭐️Bungalow on Paso's Westside 3bd/2ba ⭐️

DavidRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Evan’s home is very comfortable and worked well for entertaining and visiting with family. The kitchen is extremely well equipped and has plenty of space for preparing meals and for entertaining— even Riedel wine glasses! During the day we used his home as a base for our cycling adventures while our son and his girlfriend took advantage of the many nearby hiking trails. This is the second time we have stayed in Evan’s home and we are looking forward to returning again in the fall.

This Airbnb is fantastic and has goats! Michele was super helpful with a flexible check in and information when water wasn't supposed to be consumed from the tap. This location is so close to the downtown area and even closer to the Portuguese Hall of Arroyo Grande. Thank you Michele!

We enjoyed a great stay at this cozy house in Paso! The house was an easy walk to downtown and also in a quiet, private area that was peaceful to enjoy. The kitchen was extremely well appointed with everything you’d need to cook. The beds were comfortable, with soft mattresses and dark blinds. Would highly recommend!

The unit looks just like the photos and has a lovely vintage charm that made it feel special. It’s located in downtown SLO with lots of walkable restaurants and shops to explore. Although our stay was short, we enjoyed our time. The beds were comfortable, temperature control had no issues, and didn’t feel like anything was missing. David’s place is a gem and we’d happily stay again!

We greatly enjoyed our stay at the retreat in Los Osos! The Airbnb was close to many restaurants, and just a quick walk to the bay. There was great birdwatching nearby, and Morro bay was also less than 10 minutes away by car. Great location- we would definitely stay again!

Downtown Cutie! 2-block walk 2Dtown; Firepit, BBQ

NicoleRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Great little cottage for our family our four! Michelle and Tyler's communication was super responsive. The cottage was very clean, nicely decorated and well appointed. Appreciated the washer/dryer onsite and the washer pods - Thank you! We loved the super comfy king beds and cozy linens. Both bedrooms had TVs which was really nice for relaxing at night after exploring all day. There was also a little nook with a desk and coffee bar area. Love it! We enjoyed the patio with lights and gas fireplace in the front of the property which was nicely landscaped. Street parking was always available directly in front of the property and the neighborhood was quiet and safe. Easy, close, walkable access to downtown Paso! Wish we could have stayed longer... can't wait to visit again!

Pet Friendly Comfy Morro Bay Home

IvanRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Having recently spent this weekend my wife and I are looking forward to a return trip. As expected the weather was overcast, windy and cool. Needless to say we spent a good deal of our time inside, relaxing and enjoying the warmth that this cozy hideaway has to offer. As advertised Surf n Vine is plenty spacious, extremely well equipped and the overall layout is awesome. My wife was very pleased with all that this home has to offer. This visit we brought our frenchie. For the next stay we hope to bring our grandchildren as well to enjoy an active summer vacation. As my wife stated the kitchen layout and lots of barstool seating lends itself to some awesome family time, prepping and enjoying meals. Morro Rock views from the deck, barbecuing fresh steaks and enjoying the cool, coastal weather is how we enjoyed our 45th wedding anniversary. Really looking forward to our next stay. Sherri, thank you so much for opening up your little diamond of a home. Highly recommended to all.

We really enjoyed our stay at Anny’s place. She was helpful, friendly and responsive. We liked having our own private apartment below her home. It was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. We loved that we could bring our dog. The location is close to the downtown. We felt it was well worth the money and would definitely recommend and like to stay there again.

Upscale. Pet friendly. Great location! 6-10 guests

TiffanyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This place was in an incredible location, close to everything we had planned for our short, intimate wedding weekend. Cindy was an amazing host; I especially appreciated how thorough and accommodating she was, even right after we booked. The place is gorgeous and made for everyone to be together. All of my guests were impressed and happy to have their own rooms. At first I was a little concerned about everyone having only one bathroom in the main house but they all assured me that everything was perfect and they never had an issue. If you’re on the fence about renting Cindy’s home, let me be the first to tell you it’s well worth the price and if I could rate more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! Thank you Cindy for being my very first Air BnB host, and for the wonderful space for ourselves and our guests - it was perfect! 🥹

I had an amazing stay at Whitney's home! The space was beautifully decorated, clean, and incredibly comfortable.

Back Bay Getaway - Dog Friendly - Home in Los Osos

LeighRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Emma’s home was perfect for our visit to Los Osos to see our daughter and grandson. My husband and I are retired - and we travel quite a bit and stay at a lot of rental homes. I have to say - I think Emma was the most responsive and respectful host that we have ever come across. If I had a question - it was answered extremely quickly. The house was exactly as depicted on the site - and there were little touches that were unexpected bonuses (a gift card for a local coffee shop, a bottle of wine, waffle weave robes in the shower, etc). I can’t recommend this house - or Emma - highly enough!

Charming Three Bedroom Home in the Heart of AG

KatrinaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
I had an amazing stay with my family. I really appreciated that Kate, the co host, messaged us to see if we were doing ok and checking in. The living room space is quite spacious. We love their couches! It was so comfortable and relaxing to lay on. Beds were all comfortable. Had a few pillows to choose from. Me and my husband slept in the master. The bed is on the softer side but still very comfortable. I don’t normally sleep well when I travel and I got one the most rested sleep there. There were plenty of towels for everyone and more. The shower pressure was good and the water was nice and warm. The house was very clean. Loved the elephant decor. They have a great taste in music and enjoyed listening to a few of their albums. I appreciate that they put labels in the showers and on the step. They had a wonderful suggestions on where to go eat. I really feel like the hosts were really intentional in what they put in the house to make it feel like a home away from home.

Beautiful, Spacious Home 3 Miles from Pismo Pier

VickyRating, 5 stars4 months ago
My family and I enjoyed staying at Reid and Jacy's place very much- it was perfect for what we needed in terms of bedrooms and layout (5 adults, 1 toddler, and a dog), and it was spacious, clean, and comfortable. Absolutely recommend! Some notes: they have a walk in closet that can be used for the crib in the master. The neighborhood is quiet for dog-walking; I'd recommend carrying a flashlight or using your phone in the evenings when it gets dark.

Your guide to San Luis Obispo

All About San Luis Obispo

An equal distance from the wildlife haven of Morro Bay and laid-back Pismo Beach, the small city of San Luis Obispo sits midway between Los Angeles and San Francisco in California’s central coast region. As one of the state’s oldest communities, it’s filled with culture and history, featuring a 19th-century city center surrounded by a restored 18th-century mission, and local homes and businesses often have a Spanish architectural influence.

Aside from dreamy views of the Santa Lucia Mountains and coastline, a major draw in San Luis Obispo is its location in the state’s third-largest wine-producing county, and you can pair your local albariño with dinner made with ingredients sourced from the numerous local farmers markets. Vacation homes here are also well positioned for exploring the local art scene — you’ll find pop-up galleries sitting alongside permanent exhibitions — and kayaking, swimming, and hiking are all within easy reach.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in San Luis Obispo

Spring and summer are the best times to book vacation rentals in San Luis Obispo to see the lush surrounding vegetation at its peak. These are also the best times to visit nearby vineyards and explore trails along the beach. Early fall is your chance to see the change of foliage at Lopez Canyon and enjoy the outdoors before temperatures start to dip. The weather can be somewhat unpredictable here, so pack layers along with an umbrella or raincoat when traveling outside of the summer season.

January and February are characterized by cooler, greyer days, and you’ll be one of fewer visitors on the nearby beaches. The city’s film festival takes place in March, with screenings in downtown San Luis Obispo.


Top things to do in San Luis Obispo

Edna Valley

Just a short drive south from San Luis Obispo is Edna Valley, a region known for its cluster of wineries and award-winning pinot noir — you’ll find established brands and under-the-radar producers offering tastings at their vineyards. Visit the Old Edna Townsite for a picnic with wine and cheese or nearby Arroyo Grande Valley to browse the local markets.

San Luis Obispo Museum of Art

Perched on Monterey Street downtown, the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art showcases California artists across three galleries, focusing on contemporary works. Head to SLOMA, as the locals call it, for a taste of local prints, sculptures, and paintings. If you time your visit right, you can join one of the monthly talks that take you through the exhibits.

Montaña de Oro State Park

Ten miles west from the city is Montaña de Oro State Park, a popular spot thanks to its abundance of trails for cyclists and hikers, beautiful peaks, and sandy beach. Nature lovers are also drawn here for the seabirds and otters. Take one of the coastal trails by Spooner’s Cove for views of the ocean and unique rock formations.
