  John and Jan W from Eureka, CA recommends this vacation rental

  Wow, is the first word I can think of in discribing this property. The extraordinary view, outdoor space, and the cottage vibe was all we could have ask for. It was perfect for our 4 grand children, walking on the beach, having a drink at Mr. Rick's, dinner, and viewing and listening to the ocean pounding on the beach. The only problem we had was taking a shower. The bath/shower combo is very cute but we had a very hard time getting in and out of since it does not have a place to hold on to. The curtains surrounding the tub was awkward while showering.

  We love coming to this place. This is our fourth year at this beautiful cottage in Avila. We started coming here when the Lewis family was renting it. We love it. I'm giving the cleaning a 3* this trip because a few items were missed and we had to do the cleaning. Underneath the bed, sofa, living room carpet and under appliances were not cleaned or swept and the floors were not mopped. We had to wash the bedspread because it had a smell and I am a germaphobe. Although the management company offered to re clean, we decided to not be inconvenienced and had already cleaned it ourselves. We asked for a refund on the cleaning deposit but never heard back. Overall, the stay was quite enjoyable and as always, this place feels like our second home. I think that is why we feel so passionate about how people that stay here use the property. Definitely will be back again can't beat the views and the ocean sounds at night.

  a guest from Walnut Creek, CA recommends this vacation rental

  The house is in a great location on Avila Beach - as advertised, very close to the beach and the cute downtown Avila shops and restaurants.
  
  Our family of 4 found the house to be on the smaller side ( 2 adults and 2 -12 year olds). We felt this most when it came time for showers - one shower is tough to share across 4 people.
  It was nice that the property provided beach chairs and toys in a wagon. Wish they had provided beach towels as well - just one less thing to have to pack!
  
  The outdoor area was the real selling point for us on choosing this property - the fire pit and lots of comfy chairs! The only downside was the bees - we tried to have breakfast on the outdoor dining table and had lots of wasps that were on the aggressive side.
  Given the per night price of nearly $500, we expected a bit more of luxurious supplies in the house - cheap toilet paper, no toilet paper holder. On the flip side, the beds were comfortable and the sheets were the best!
  I had to call to get our deposit back after nearly a week had passed since we checked out.
  
  Overall, we think the cottage is a cute home in Avila, but not the right place for our family of 4 given the 2 bedrooms, 1 shower situation.

  I visit SLO during the week for work. There is no better place on the Central Coast than Avila Beach. This Cottage by the Sea is my home away from home. No better place for me to escape the Bay Area.

  Dick P from Clovis, CA recommends this vacation rental

  We spent a month at this beautiful little cottage in Avila Beach. This is our tenth time doing a one-month coastal rental since retirement 5 years ago, so we have a good basis for comparison. Of all the places we have stayed, we like this the best in terms of feeling like home. It seemed like ANYTHING we needed was already there. The kitchen was magnificently stocked including utensils, paper products and spices. (I usually travel with my favorite knives and spices, which was totally unnecessary.) Our only dilemma was in choosing WHICH set of dishes we should use for our company.
  
  The outdoor area is wonderful for entertaining. We especially loved watching sunsets from the deck. Of course, on cool evenings, we could have the same wonderful view inside from the living room.
  
  We appreciated the owners’ attention to detail which was reflected everywhere we looked. All appliances were great. Local reading material, games, wifi, cable TV service were all provided. Any possible needs or questions were immediately addressed by 7 Sisters management team.
  
  Thank you Donna and Kevin.

  This is our third time staying at this beautiful cottage we call home. Everything about it is warm and inviting plus the views are to die for. I loved every minute of our two weeks there. The staff at Seven Sisters was superb and very accommodating. I asked for an early check in and late check out and they were more then accommodating. Every year we extend our stay a little longer. I wish I was there right now!!! Hard to express into words how much we really LOVE this place. See you next year....
