About this property

The Palm House — Dog Friendly King Studio with Private Deck | Hear the Waves from the Deck · Full Kitchenette with Stove & Oven · AC · Beach Gear & Bikes · Avila Beach · Sleeps 2 · Managed by Solmaré Stays

Welcome to The Palm House, a historic studio retreat just one block from the sand. This charming historic studio sits a few steps up, with its own private deck and a spacious King Bed. Inside, enjoy a bright living area, fast WiFi, AC, and a well-equipped kitchenette. Pet-friendly and full of character, it is the perfect base for couples (and dogs!) to explore Avila. Part of the Solmaré Collection, it includes designated parking.

HISTORIC CHARM & COMFORT
Tucked in the heart of Avila Beach, The Palm House preserves the soul of a traditional fisherman’s cottage. It is quirky, charming, and flooded with natural light. While it retains its vintage roots, we have updated the comforts that matter most. It offers a breezy, unpretentious place to unwind just steps from the ocean.

SLEEPING & RELAXING
- Primary Bed: Spacious King Bed with soft linens (a rare find in these historic cottages).
- Lounge: A cozy sitting area and Smart TV.
- Work Friendly: A dining nook that doubles as a workspace with a view.
- Climate: Equipped with Air Conditioning for year-round comfort.

KITCHENETTE (With Stovetop)
Compact but capable.
- Equipment: Mini-fridge, microwave, oven, and a stovetop burner.
- Essentials: Stocked with cookware and dinnerware for simple home-style meals.

OUTDOOR LIVING
- Private Deck: Step outside to your own perch, set back among the bungalows. It is the perfect spot for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine — close enough to hear the surf.

Pet Friendly: We love dogs! (Please ensure your dog is added to the reservation).

Location, location, location... This unit is one of the best in Avila Beach looking at price vs location. My wife and I were traveling with our 10 lb dog. It was a fisherman's cottage in a previous life so the size is small but for the two of us and out little dog it was just perfect. We will definitely be back.
