About this apartment rental

A Classic Avila Beach Retreat

Welcome to The Boathouse, your private beach escape in the heart of Avila Beach. Tucked behind the historic Avila Market and just steps from the sand, this charming one-bedroom, 1½-bath condominium offers everything you need for a relaxing weekend getaway, extended stay, or peaceful remote-work retreat.

Thoughtfully designed with a nod to vintage California, The Boathouse celebrates Avila Beach's rich history through carefully selected artwork and coastal-inspired décor. Bright, comfortable, and welcoming, it's the perfect place to unwind after a day at the beach or exploring California's Central Coast.

The spacious living area features a cozy fireplace, comfortable seating, streaming-ready Smart TV, and an open floor plan that flows into a fully equipped kitchen complete with cookware, dishes, and everything needed to prepare meals at home.

The generous primary suite offers a plush king-size bed, its own fireplace, Smart TV, and an ensuite bath, creating a peaceful retreat at the end of the day.

One of the home's highlights is the private outdoor patio, where you can enjoy morning coffee, afternoon sunshine, or evenings gathered around the fire pit. A gas grill makes dining outdoors easy, while the comfortable lounge seating invites you to linger.

Whether you're watching the waves, strolling the promenade, enjoying local wine, or simply relaxing fireside after sunset, The Boathouse offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and classic California beach-town charm.

Located just minutes from San Luis Obispo, Pismo Beach, Edna Valley wine country, golf courses, hiking trails, and countless Central Coast attractions, The Boathouse is an ideal home base for exploring everything the region has to offer.

Come experience why so many guests return to Avila Beach year after year.

Location was great, short walk to beach and dining. Only complaint was outdoor wasn't clean like interior - railing was filthy and there was lots of spider webs and dirt on steps/surfaces.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second stay at the "Boathouse". The exterior picture does not do it justice. The inside is clean, cute and comfortable. We enjoy the quick walk to the beach and the convenience of being so close to the Front St shops and restaurants. We will be staying again in the future.
