Communication with Michael was exemplary.A very quick walk to Downtown (10 mins max) with numerous shops, bars and restaurants. Would definitely stay again.

We loved our stay at this property. It was absolutely beautiful and so well setup. While the photos are well represented, we were even more impressed in person. The property is in a great location with a quick walk to bars & restaurants. It’s also well equipped for eating in with Micheal supplying many of your basic cooking essentials, which was also very impressive. In addition Michael provided detailed information for our stay and was very quick & helpful to respond to the few inquiries we had. We highly recommend this property & hope we have a chance to stay again in the future.

Perfect Stay

This historic house was well maintained and nicely updated. It was in a great location and close enough to walk downtown to the shops and restaurants. We enjoyed sitting around the fire pit in the evening with a glass of wine. We will definitely stay there again!

Best Stay EVER!!

Clean, welcoming, and perfect. I was able to have a quiet space to work remotely while my daughter attended Cal Poly events. The home was a fantasic landing space for us and her friends. Comfy bed, lots of device charging options, great soaps/shampoos, top of the line appliances - so awesome.

Perfect weekend away

My family and I were in town for the weekend and it was perfect fit! It’s a very charming and historic home within walking distance to downtown with a very cute breakfast spot just a black away. We were out and about enjoying the town most of the day but coming back to this house was super cozy! We would visit again.

Charming Piece of History

What a great house to spend a family vacation in! The property was immaculately kept, had everything you would need, and made us feel right at home. Located just minutes from everything in SLO and only a short drive to Pismo or Morro. The only regret we had was that we couldn’t stay longer.

Wonderful clean charming home near historic downtown

Loved the house from the beginning - it is as lovely as portrayed in the pictures and more. We were greeted with snacks and a bottle of wine. The decor is what you wish you had in your own home and there is all you need to stay comfortably. Felt like we were visiting our friends’ home. Loved that we could walk everywhere. Communication with Michael was easy and enjoyable - he is professional and prompt and helpful. Everything was clean and comfortable, and even the bathroom lotion smells good!
