We rented this delightful SLO cottage for a week and could not have been happier. Kurt, the owner, welcomed us warmly, and shared some local knowledge about best beaches, restaurants, etc. If you're there on a Thursday, don't miss the amazing Farmer's Market from 6-9pm! The house is perfectly located, five minutes walk from the center of town, and amazingly well equipped. We cooked for six every evening; the kitchen had EVERYTHING we needed, including serving platters, high-quality cookware, every possible small appliance, copious glasses for wiine etc. etc. The backyard is delightful -- we had dinner outside a couple of nights as we hit the hottest weekend of the year. The bedrooms are very attractive, and the bathrooms include plenty of toiletries. There are loads of extra towels and linens as well. The only thing I feel I should mention in this review is the narrow spiral staircase up to the very large bedroom on the second floor. It is a little tricky to navigate with luggage! We hope to return to this beautifully maintained home!

Kurt was wonderful and responsive to our every need. The house and property had everything we could ask for. A beautiful back yard to relax in. Everything we needed in the kitchen for cooking. And just a few blocks walk to all of the SLO restaurants for when we didn't cook.

Kurt was the perfect host. He was a great communicator and left clear notes and instructions both ahead of time via email and and also at the house once we arrived. The entire house has all of the amenities a travel could need. The kitchen was particularly great. We spent tons of time on the back deck and loved getting to see the turtle and fish in the back pond. The house is mere blocks from downtown, but also just a minute or two off the freeway--the best of both worlds. Would definitely rent this spot again!

This hoouse was perfect for our family stay, well stocked and clean. We felt as if we were staying at a friend's house rather than a rental. Walking distance to everything downtown as well as hiking trails. Kurt is an awesome owner, attentive to your every need if anything arises. We will definitely be back!
