I cannot say enough good things about this place! The hosts have thought of everything. Comfortable furniture, super comfy beds, snacks, fresh eggs in the fridge, a gorgeous yard. It was so perfect. Michael was very understanding about a little accident in the house from our dog, which was wholly appreciated. I would 100% love to come back for a visit to this home!

We enjoyed our time in this beautifully decorated home. We especially appreciated the welcoming details upon our arrival as well as all of the included amenities. Coffee, tea, cooking essentials and more. This place was meticulously clean and we loved its historic vibe and decor. We also enjoyed the outdoor space with outdoor file. An excellent location within walking distance to the mission, restaurants and downtown/SLO Farmer’s Market.

Great stay while our daughter checked out Cal Poly. Well appointed, well located historic home only a short walk to downtown. We enjoyed the living room and kitchen but weather kept us inside. Although we ate in, there are some cool restaurants across the street and really good ice cream! Our host even left us snacks, drinks and a half dozen eggs to enjoy. Looking forward to coming back soon! Thanks Michael for the stay and solid communication.

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!

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.

This is an excellent VRBO-style property. The house is old but has been completely refurbished with modern appliances and electronics. There were only two of us and we had the whole house with a spare bedroom for dressing and full living, dining and kitchen spaces. There is a small backyard patio and a full front yard, both with furniture to sit quietly and enjoy the surroundings. There are 4 restaurants within a block and dozens more 10 minutes (1/2 mile) away. Check in and out are easy with a front door keyed to you personally. No issues whatsoever with this rental.

Beautifully appointed home, in a great location. Very walkable! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, from the extremely comfortable beds, to the gourmet kitchen, there is no room for improvement on this property. We enjoyed the chilly evenings out by the firepit, and loved that we could walk almost everywhere from this home's location in the historic district. Michael is an amazingly attentive host, who goes the extra mile when in comes to comfort details, and was communicative and helpful throughout our entire stay! Cannot recommend this home enough! We hope to visit again soon!

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.

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.
