Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I'll start with the good first. Great location. Large house. Excellent view from the East, South and West. King bed was very comfortable. House was clean. Carport was great for unloading and entering house. All one level. Great to listen to the waves and people watch. Now for the bad. This is a very 1950's house with worn metal cabinets, a big old stove that didn't work so they put an electric hot plate too small to use for anything but heating water in the tea kettle or cooking 2 pancakes. We had to call about changing a very dirty bath mat. The furniture is 1950's bamboo frame with cushions which looked straight out to the ocean through 3 huge dirty windows that didn't open. The other couch was a sleeper sofa. There was only a small box fan to cool the whole house.The weather was beautiful, in the 70's but the house got too warm for comfort and the deck didn't have any shade, umbrella or table. You had to move a heavy iron lounge out to the deck and found a beach chair from the storage room. Our 4 night stay would have been better if there were more fans at the very least. But they didn't have any more to give us. We actually thought about leaving a day early. We're 70 yrs old. Maybe some of this wouldn't bother people that are younger.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Yes, It's a little dated, but you can't beat the location and the views. Good WiFi, good TV, good bed and close to several good restaurants. You'll need a bit of ground clearance to get into the carport, but once you're parked you can just about walk to the beach and lunch/dinner.

Enjoyed the area, plenty of room for the two of us. Other than not being able to pull into driveway due to our car a Lexus, being a bit lower we had issue trying to use the driveway,

One of the best locations along the beach - away from the commercial eating areas but yet so close to the beach - the views were exceptional - I am a Landlord in Montana and I would probably have the interior painted. I would stay there again.

The location is very good. The rooms were clean. The furnishings are mostly quite old and eclectic. The ceiling lights required a tall person to pull the cord. Pluses: The view of Avila Beach is superb. And the window shades are are very good at controlling the afternoon sunlight when the temperature rises. Minuses: The biggest disappointment was discovering that the gas stove was nonfunctional. There was only an old 2-burner electric unit placed on top of the gas burners of the stove. This unit was barely working and it took forever even to heat a kettle (also too old) of water. We had planned to cook all our meals but were forced to make major adjustments and scale back considerably. The contents of all the kitchen drawers (except for one containing a silverware organizer) were filled with unorganized very old utensils simply tossed in piles. The cotton duvet on the king-sized bed is extremely heavy. During the night it tended to slide off the bottom of the bed and had to be wrestled back up. Sometimes one of us had to get up and pull it up at the foot of the bed. It would be nice to have a night light in the bathrooms.
