Wow! What a gem of Avila Beach! We had a wonderful stay. This place was unexpected in the best way and our stay there ended up elevating our trip more than we expected. What was supposed to be a routine visit with family, turned into a mini romantic getaway. The amenities here are generous and top notch and the rooftop restaurant and coffee house was absolutely lovely! We’ll certainly be back!
