Top Central Coast Aquarium Hotel Reviews

Casa Azul | King Bed Studio · Avila Beach

10/10 Excellent

"What a cute beach cottage. Perfect for us two. Room and grounds were clean. Right smack in the middle of everything so no need to jump in a car all the time. This area is also the perfect stopping ground/home base for local day trips to neighboring towns. Oh, and the Host was very accommodating and responded quickly to our question. Only wish it had a small closet. Would definitely stay here again."

Avila La Fonda Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, beautifully decorated and lots of extras. Eateries, the pier, and shops in walking distance, We can’t wait to stay again."

Cobbo's Beach House - WOW/Luxe/HOT TUBS/Views/STEPS TO BEACH

10/10 Excellent

"We had the best time celebrating our moms 80th birthday at the Cobbo Beach house! The elevator came in very handy for them. We were able to fit everyone under one roof due to its amazing spaciousness. We never felt on top of one another. We loved the great room with the huge kitchen, bar and outside deck area. We could have the big doors open and feel the ocean breeze. It was a great location! Just blocks from the beach. There was something for everyone to do. Beach, golf, wine tasting, fishing or watching the niner game on the huge TV. The house is stocked with everything you could ever need for a home away from home. Lisa was great to work with! She was quick to respond to any qestions for concerns. We will be back!"

Ocean Front Luxury Above Avila Beach Landmark

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice place across the street from the beach. Easy access to the street and stores on Avila Beach. Would recommend for any stay. Love the location and the view. Parking was easy."

"Sweet spot"

The Nest | Cozy Studio Steps to Sand

Gather in a one-of-a-kind home, Avila Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been celebrating the end of summer with our kinds for 17 yrs in Avila. They are now in their mid 20s and it is a annual highlight. Gather is a great location, giving everyone plenty of space to relax, and easy walking distance to everything. The house is very nicely decorated and equiped but not so nice that you worry about it. The kitchen had everything we needed for a holiday meal but we only did light cooking. The bedrooms are comfortable and the bathrooms had everything we needed. Keyless entry is so convenient when you have people coming and going ... didn't have to manages who has the keys! Generous parking, beach chairs and towels and toys. We would definitely stay here again. Also - the property managers were very responsive ... we didn't need anything but i did reach out just to let them know we had checked in and they responded very quickly."

Beachy Keen: 2 master ensuites, steps from beach, rooftop BBQ

10/10 Excellent

"Great location! Perfect for two couples as each has their own bathroom. In the upstairs en-suite, there was no shelf or area to place anything. Lots of places to hang out-2 decks, but there isn’t an ocean view from the rooftop deck. It would have been nice to get into the condo before 4 on a Friday since we had dinner reservations at 5, but that was minor. Nice to have a garage but our 2 cars would not fit so we had to park one car on the street. Kitchen is fully stocked, and there are many restaurants in walking distance."

Updated 2 bed/2bath Downtown Avila Beach

8/10 Good

"The condo was situated just a short walk from the beach. Although the condo was just a short walk from the beach, tourist, and entertainment, it was very quiet and peaceful. I feel the owners of the property anticipated our every need. From bathroom supplies to kitchen supplies. The check in and out was seamless."
