If you are person who enjoys walking everywhere, then this is the place for you. Due to city regulations our house does have a 30 night minimum stay requirement. The house is a 10 minute walk to downtown (shopping, bars, restaurants, historic mission, art galleries), a 9 minute walk to the closest brewery, 6 minutes to the closest restaurants and coffee shops and a 2 minute walk to groceries and a pharmacy. The location is ideal for easy living. The house is full of natural light from large windows that open to the garden. The San Luis Obispo Creek meanders through the property, providing habitat for all sorts of birdlife. Enjoy a morning cup of coffee and catch some sun in the front yard garden and end your day with a glass of wine taking in the lushness of the back patio. Beaches, wineries, hiking and the all that San Luis Obispo has to offer is a short drive away. The dining room table seats four and is surrounded by top to bottom windows, giving you a lovely view of the garden's activity. The downstairs bedroom has a comfy queen bed, soft linens, a large closet, built in drawers and a sliding door that opens to your patio and garden. The upstairs bedroom is a loft that opens to the living room. It has a comfy full bed, a walk-in closet and a robust library, including kids books. There is a convenient washer and dryer just steps away in garage. The homeowners live on the property, but the houses are separate. One well behaved dog that gets along with other dogs are welcomed. We have many dogs in our neighborhood. The yard is fenced for a large dog, but a small dog could pass through the gate. Guests are responsible for cleaning up after their dog and for any damage their pet may cause. Parking is always available on the street. Please note that there is a 30 night minimum. Contact the host prior to booking if you have any questions. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen -

We decided to stay "in town" this year and be able to walk to a lot of the shops and restaurants. Parking can be a problem in town. We loved our cute cottage, especially the back yard. So many plants and trees. Lovely setting for coffee in the morning and wine in the evening. Loved the string of lights around our little patio. The weather was fantastic and we could play tennis, pickle ball, and golf everyday. Plus go to the beach and frequent our favorite coffee shops and restaurants. It was an enjoyable fun and relaxing vacation. Thank you Marlie and Rob. ##### mike d.

I stayed here for a month, working remotely, and my clients even commented on the wonderful outdoor scenery. On my time off I went hiking and checked out the nearby ocean beaches. There is a washer/dryer located conveniently out the side door into their garage. At times, you may hear the neighborhood kids playing with their skateboards, a train whistler or two, but most of the time it is very quiet. The back patio area is energetically pleasing and private. The only drawback was a somewhat loud heater, but I was grateful for the warmth. Marlie and Rob were very attentive and I felt very welcomed in this space. I would definitely stay here again. ##### Kelly R. Stayed 36 nights in Nov 2021 ---
