Beautiful Country Home

RamiroRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Laurie is an amazing host that was readily available when I had questions and left us lovely notes and instructions when we arrived. The home is beautiful and great for a week or weekend getaway with family or friends. My family loved the place and there were no complaints. We would definitely select this location again and we recommend it to anyone who wishes a lovely stay.

Staying at this Airbnb was a true delight! Linda is an exceptionally gracious host, and the space itself was immaculate. I especially appreciated the thoughtful note detailing the home and nearby attractions. The beautiful antiquities added such character, and the tranquil garden and sunroof provided a wonderfully peaceful escape. Its convenient proximity to the CalPoly campus made for easy walks, and the reliable internet allowed me to work seamlessly. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!

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

CarolynRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We had a great family weekend, celebrating a big BDay, and everything was just as described! Check in was super easy, and we only had one reason to contact the host, during which he was immediately responsive. Living room furniture not the best for older backs, but we certainly managed, and spend little time at the house so not an issue. We will definitely consider renting again. Thank You!!

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

PamRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
My husband and I came to Paso for a couple of days of wine tasting and we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Michelle and Tyler's house is adorable! The furnishings are comfortable, the bed was great - so great I asked for the brand of the duvet because I want to get the same. I love the quiet street the house is on and the super short easy walk to downtown's restaurants and bars. We would definitely stay again.

Summer Place! - Country Living with Waterfall Spa

ShelbyRating, 5 stars4 months ago
Our family stayed at Summer Place over the Thanksgiving holiday. Upon arrival, the home was just as it was pictured. The yard is fully fenced so no worry about our dogs getting out. The house was equipped with everything you could think of, even Tupperware! The spa was beautiful and so relaxing. PRVR had the best customer service. Our spa had some issues that they sent someone out to fix on Thanksgiving day. Highly impressed with this BnB and with the rental company. Will probably stay here again.

I Sea You! Morro Bay, Ca

DeeRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Colin & Teriza's place has a lot going for it. It's clean, well cared for and the view of the rock is great. The decor makes the most of the space. The hosts were generous with an early check-in and are very responsive. When the dog downstairs was whining because the owner was out, they even offered to come over and calm the animal. We enjoyed our time there.

Pet Friendly Comfy Morro Bay Home

IvanRating, 5 stars3 weeks 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.

Pelican Cove Vacation Rental at the Back Bay

AmyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
I just can't say enough good things about our stay. The location was amazing! We loved walking around and seeing all the birds and plant life. We loved that Morro Bay State Park was just a short drive away and we enjoyed the Bay & the sea otters that live there were very entertaining. It was lovely to come back and soak in the spa and enjoy the beautiful back yard after spending the day exploring the area. I would love to stay a gain in the future.

By far one of the best Air BnB's we have stayed at and Anny was an amazing host. Super cute and convenient to the charming village of Arroyo Grande and we loved that Anny's place welcomed our furry family as well. Could not have asked for a better stay. Absolutely loved our stay and will most definitely return.

Cindy was fantastic before, during and after our stay with timely communication. The home was inviting with warm personal touches (ie: fresh flower arrangement, sparkling water in the fridge). There is ample indoor and outdoor space for our party of 6. Super convenient to downtown SLO, easily walkable and overall a very safe neighborhood. Thankful our paths crossed and we look forward to returning in a future trip to SLO. Thank you, Cindy!

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

Charming Three Bedroom Home in the Heart of AG

KatrinaRating, 5 stars1 week 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 stars3 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.
