LUXURY : VISTA HOUSE above the Clouds! : Minutes to Avila Beach and Downtown SLO

Relax, recharge and escape to this luxurious retreat experience in paradise.

Best view in SLO (15 minutes to downtown): Pictures don’t do justice to the unforgettable mountain top views of the Pacific Ocean, Seven Sisters (extinct volcanoes), rolling hills, mountains, valleys and flickering lights of San Luis Obispo. You can get to know the property at @visitvista and check out @bourbonandcider (your four legged Golden Retriever Assistant Hosts - we post our adventures daily! :). We are pet friendly.

The exceptional 8-acre mountain top property (halfway between SF and LA) has two bedrooms, chef’s kitchen and a large, elegantly appointed bathroom. Indoor areas transition seamlessly into outdoor living and dining spaces through French doors and large windows. The large 500 square foot private deck provides a comfortable place to read, relax or dine (BBQ equipped) while taking in the commanding views.

Appointed with premium fixtures, furniture, amenities and high-speed Wi-Fi throughout. Complimentary onsite electric car (Tesla, etc) charging station. This dedicated vacation rental is professionally cleaned (fresh linens, towels, etc.) and a hotel quality experience awaits your arrival. Accommodates up to six guests, with four being ideal.

The grounds feature complimentary fresh eggs from the chicken coop and seasonal vegetables from our raised beds, gardens, koi pond, "Walter's" tortoise habitat and an incredible vista of wildlife, particularly birds and raptors who are at eye level.

We are on the famous Pacific Coast Highway (Hwy. 1). The coastal retreat halfway between LA and SF. Our road (Prefumo Canyon) turns into See Canyon and leads to Avila Beach. There is a short 15 minute scenic drive to downtown SLO (Thursday Night Farmer’s Market, restaurants, nightlife etc.) and beautiful Avila Beach (spectacular beach, pier, shops, wineries, etc). Famous Avila and Sycamore Mineral Springs offer a therapeutic experience in a group setting or privately in secluded tubs set amongst the tree-canopied hillside. You are in a serene and peaceful setting, but not too far from all the action!

Vista House is hard to leave once you arrive, with wonderful hikes, incredible natural surroundings and bountiful wildlife. Stock up at the Whole Foods, Sprouts or Costco at the bottom of the hill and settle in for a memorable experience!

A Refreshing Escape with Wonderful Hosts!
We had a wonderful stay at this Vrbo! It was nice to get out of the city for a few days and enjoy the stunning views. Watching the stars at night and seeing the fog roll out in the morning were truly magical. The host, Ryan, was lovely and made us feel right at home. Cider and Bourbon were the sweetest dogs, and they definitely knew exactly where the treats were! Plus, Cider is a sucker for belly rubs. Highly recommend this place!

Left wanting more
We took the kids to get out of the city, do a little wine tasting, and breathe fresh mountain air. The host was gracious and hospitable - our son played with his golden retrievers to his heart’s content. The property was amazing, and not too far from everything, just enough to make you really feel like you got away. We hope to return.

Great getaway
Our first trip with pup was a success! SLO is very dog friendly and of course Avila beach was perfect for the pup’s first intro to the ocean. Thank you Ryan for being such a gracious and fun host. We loved our morning breakfasts, cocktails and BBQ dinners on the patio. The sunsets were spectacular. Everything was really comfortable, especially the beds!

We were 2 couples and we had an amazing stay here. Ryan was a very welcoming host, as were the dogs! The house was very clean and included all amenities. The views were simply outstanding, especially sunset! Unfortunately it was too misty to see the sunrise. This was a perfect 3 night stop on our way up the coast. Highly recommended and would definitely return.
