The exceptional 8-acre mountain top property (halfway between SF and LA) has two bedrooms, chefās kitchen and a large, elegantly appointed bathroom. Indoor areas transition seamlessly into outdoor living and dining spaces through French doors and large windows. The large 500 square foot private deck provides a comfortable place to read, relax or dine (BBQ equipped) while taking in the commanding views. There is a ramp outside and one step inside making it good for disabled people.
Appointed with premium fixtures, furniture, amenities and high-speed Wi-Fi throughout. Complimentary on-site electric car (Tesla, etc) charging station. Fully equipped kitchen. This dedicated holiday rental is professionally cleaned (fresh linens, towels, etc.) and a hotel quality experience awaits your arrival. Accommodates up to six guests, with four being ideal.
The grounds feature complimentary fresh eggs from the chicken coop and seasonal vegetables from our raised beds, gardens, koi pond, "Walter's" tortoise habitat and an incredible vista of wildlife, particularly birds and raptors who are at eye level. We have recently created a Botanical Nature Walk with a Morro Bay lookout bench and a tranquil area amongst our succulent gardens.
We are on the famous Pacific Coast Highway (Hwy. 1). The coastal retreat halfway between LA and SF. Our road (Prefumo Canyon) turns into See Canyon and leads to Avila Beach. There is a short 15 minute scenic drive to city centre SLO (Thursday Night Farmerās Market, restaurants, nightlife etc.) and beautiful Avila Beach (spectacular beach, pier, shops, wineries, etc). Famous Avila and Sycamore Mineral Springs offer a therapeutic experience in a group setting or privately in secluded tubs set amongst the tree-canopied hillside. You are in a serene and peaceful setting, but not too far from all the action!
Vista House is hard to leave once you arrive, with wonderful hikes, incredible natural surroundings and bountiful wildlife. Stock up at the Whole Foods, Sprouts or Costco at the bottom of the hill and settle in for a memorable experience!

Comfortable beds, clean, large single bathroom with two sinks and a separate toilet area. View was beautiful and the property was very special. The drive up the hill does take some focus and is best tackled during daylight hours if you are not familiar with the road. We enjoyed hearing the Rooster and the Cattle in the distance.
The view was absolutely beautiful and the home was perfect for our group! However, the most memorable part of our trip was meeting Bourbon and Cider. Thank you for everything Ryan !!
Ryan is a fantastic host. We loved the experience including the absolutely stunning view. Highly recommend a stay at Vista House if you are looking for enjoying a unique slice of SLO.
The host was very welcoming, we had a great stay! Views were amazing, the spacious private deck was a great relaxing space. The house was spacious and had many amenities. However, the interior seating could be much more comfortable and conducive to watching movies, etc..
We stayed for a few days on our way from LA to SF, and so glad we did. Itās an amazing place perched on a ridge with such a apecial view. The friendly visits with Bourban and Cider made it perfect!
Property was as described, views were breathtaking, and tesidence was private. All spaces were clean, balcony was super and kitchen provided everything. Great location central to everywhere. Host was accessible and super. Hope we can schedule again.
The host was very helpful and informative. The home was clean and well equipped. The views exceeded our expectations. So did the spaciousness of the rental. It takes a little extra time to get up the hill but it is worth it.
Dear Future Renters of Vista House, You are in for an amazing treat! We have stayed in quite a few Vrbo rentals over the years...Vista House is a GEM. Your hosts Ryan, Bourbon and Cider make you feel so welcome, and comfortable you'll never want to leave. The house is clean, and spacious, and details right down to the paper products are of quality. The views of the ocean and green mountains are spectacular! This is the perfect place to unwind and breathe. Thank-you Ryan for making our visit special.
Perfect place if you want to relax and get away from everything. Great host. In between the city and the beach. Both ways gave us wonderful experiences with nature and country. If you love to sleep the beds were fantastic but lacked comfort in the living room if you were sitting watching any TV.
Great getaway with beautiful views. Ryanne, the host was very helpful with good advice about things to do locally. would definitely find time to go back again.
Everything was perfect! The view from the font of the house was just what we were looking for. The dogs and Ryan were very welcoming. Highly recommend!
Ryan and his dogs, Bourbon and Cider, were excellent hosts. They greeted us and made sure we had an enjoyable stay. If rest, relaxation, and peacefulness is what youāre needing, I would highly recommend staying at the Vista house. The view is spectacular!
My fiance and I were celebrating an anniversary and chose this apartment rental as our home. It was very welcoming, peaceful and had everything we needed. Ryan was very communicative and helpful. We loved our stay and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wonderful getaway.
What a lovely place! Created by the owner and two great dogs. The home has everything we could want in the kitchen and the beds were fabulous. The shower was amazing! We would gladly come again
This is our second time here and we still love this vacation rental! From the awesome location overlooking Morro Bay, to the clean and well equipped home, and to the caring attention we received from Ryan the owner, our stay was nothing short of great! If you are looking for a quiet retreat within a short drive to the various beach cities and SLO, we recommend the Vista House!
Was in town to spend time with friends, and the Vista House was the perfect rental spot for my friend and I. Our host, Ryan, was absolutely fantastic! Very hospitable, friendly and attentive. Plus, we got a morning greeting from Ryanās dogs, which was a welcomed surprise! Weāre definitely booking this spot again the next time weāre in town!
