We were a family of 6 adults (Grandparents + siblings & spouses) + 2 kids (1.5 and 2.5 years old) and had the most amazing family vacation! First, cannot say enough about the cleanliness and perfect location of the house. The place was immaculate when we walked in the door. The walk to the beach and boardwalk was SO close - you can imagine, lugging beach chairs, coolers, tents, and towels (all of which were provided by the house) + 2 toddlers... you need it to be easy and quick. And it definitely was. It was so nice that the house was fully stocked with beach gear. Second, what is really great about the house being such easy walking distance from everything is anyone in the group can easily come and go and you don't have to coordinate everyone doing everything together at the same time. We only have a few minor suggestions - but none of which were enough to affect my overall 5 star rating. 1.) the kitchen and family room are on the second floor of the house (ground level is bedrooms) - i had done enough picture research ahead of time to know we'd need to bring a baby gate for the stairs. Had we not, it would've been really hard with the layout and young kids. Could consider stocking the house with one? 2.) agree with a previous review that the family room could fit a bigger sectional couch / more seating; considering how big the house is.. you'll always have big groups of ppl staying here. 3.) we were pleasantly surprised at the number of pack and plays, high chairs and booster chairs that were stocked at the house - it wasn't super clearly stated so we brought a lot of that ourselves. Overall, we absolutely loved the house and look forward to this being a repeat rental for an annual family vacation! Kids had a great time at Avila Valley Barn, SLO Creek Farms and Central Coast Aquarium. Adults had a great time enjoying drinks at Landing Passage and Libertine Brewing Company. And everyone had a great time at the beach, plus walking the Bob Jones Trail!!! Highly highly recommend both this house and also Avila Beach for your next vacation!
