The 18 Best Airbnb San Luis Obispo Rentals For A California Central Coast Retreat

AirBNB, California, Where To Stay

Planning a stopover in sunny San Luis Obispo, California? You’ll need my Vrbo & Airbnb San Luis Obispo guide to find your perfect place to stay!

Located on the California’s chilled out Central Coast, between major cities of San Francisco and Los Angeles, San Luis Obispo is a must-do stopover on your road trip up the state’s epic coastal route. 

There’s NorCal and SoCal, but here locals fondly refer to the area as SLO-Cal, thanks to the beachy, laidback vibe that is decisively less fast-paced and way more relaxing than nearby cityscapes. 

San Luis Obispo is for lovers of the outdoors, and is home to a unique landscape that offers something for everyone. There’s nearby sandy beaches, rolling green hills and valleys that are home to local wineries and scenic hiking trails, and downtown San Luis Obispo is brimming with great restaurants, farmers markets, cafes, bars and leafy parks. 

San Luis Obispo Airbnb


If you’re looking for a beautiful beachside retreat that has excellent weather and a slow pace, San Luis Obispo is it. 

But before you hit the beach, the bars or the hills of this serene city, you’ll need a highly-rated place to rest your head.  I’ve compiled the ultimate list of San Luis Obispo vacation rentals, chosen to suit any budget, group size, location and stay style. 

These are the 18 best Vrbo & AirBnB San Luis Obispo vacation rentals…

1) Luxury Loft & Modern Condo in the Vibrant Downtown San Luis Obispo

The Best Overall San Luis Obispo Vacation Rental

Location: San Luis Obispo 

Price: $150 avg. per night

Sleeps: 4 (2 BR/2 BA)

https://www.vrbo.com/595963

This 1500 sq. ft. luxury loft is located right in the heart of downtown SLO, as well as the top of my list for best overall San Luis Obispo vacation rental. You’ll be well within walking distance (just outside your door!) of various boutiques, cafes, beaches, wineries, and famed farm-to-table restaurants so popular in this classy corner of California. The condo itself has upscaled and modern touches throughout, from the flatscreen TV above the fireplace to hardwood flooring, as well as modern stainless steel appliances, washer/dryer, a multitude of windows inviting in the light, and ample patio and balcony seating alongside a brand new BBQ grill. This is the perfect place to pack up and spend a few days in paradise, and the price is pretty great too!

2) Modern View Home only 1 Mile to Downtown SLO!

The Best Luxury San Luis Obispo Vacation Rental

Location: Railroad District, San Luis Obispo

Sleeps: 6 (3BR/2 BA)

https://www.vrbo.com/1346506

If you’ve got the cash, vacation is the time to splash! This luxurious modern San Luis Obispo home may not be easy on the wallet, but it sure is easy on the eyes. It takes my number one pick for best luxury accommodation in the SLO area due to a number of reasons. First off, the location is fantastic, just one mile from downtown. On sunny days (which there are plenty of here!) you can even stroll or ride to downtown on the car-free bike bath and hit any number of cafes or restaurants along the way. The interior itself is simply stunning (and includes a baby grand piano!), casually marrying modern and classical design concepts to create a harmonious and impressive space for you to spend a few days with your family, group, or significant other. The views from the deck and the floor-to-ceiling windows both offer sweeping vistas of the surrounding mountains, the bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, and backyard has ample area to relax and recharge. What more do you need?

Guest review: “We had high expectations for this property, and the experience exceeded everything. It’s probably the only house I’ll stay at in the future while visiting SLO. Kudos to the owners for a true work of art and luxurious stay.”

This 100-year old house has been recently renovated to its original glory while maintaining an awesomely antique aura. Well-located near downtown SLO and numerous bright sandy beaches, you’ll be challenged to beat this price when looking for comparable quality homes in the area! This is my pick for best budget vacation rental in San Luis Obispo due to private guest access of the entire house, quiet backyard and porch areas, and full equipped kitchen among other amenities available from the attentive owners.

Guest review: “We absolutely loved staying in what we came to refer to as “the pretty house.” My son loved the treehouse and our mornings relaxing on the front patio. The home is located centrally with the ability to walk downtown but to access shopping easily by car as well. The property owner was always available if we had questions or needed anything. Cannot recommend enough!”

The tent is very large and well-appointed and the location is excellent. It’s conveniently located close to wineries, San Luis Obispo, Pismo Beach and more. I will say that this is a pampered version of glamping so if you are looking to rough it or be totally secluded in nature, this might not be your spot. But if you want the feel of the woods and glimpses of deer with 5 star hospitality and amenities, book it if you can get it.” – Damora

The patio is an amazing space, and the rest of the property is a treat to come home to as well. The dogs are so sweet and special. The kitchenware was nice, and Lorna provided some snacks as well. The only downside is the sulfur from her well water, which adds an unpleasant smell to water usage. Take her up on her suggestions; we greatly enjoyed Kelsey Winery, Moñtana de Oro, and Ascendo!” – Mason

Sea Foraging San Luis Obispo County

“Harvesting and eating seaweed is my passion that I will share with you as the guide of these amazing family friendly intertidal adventures. I especially love passing down harvesting knowledge to my own children and the next generation of foragers. I started off as an edible kelp harvester and also sell my fresh and dried product at farmer’s markets. I also make a killer seaweed forager’s ramen. I’ve been the foreman of aquaculture facilities such as the Morro Bay Oyster Company and a licensed commercial salmon fisherman and like to think I’ve become more sustainable as I age. My family heritage is Irish/British and harvesting fresh seaweed is in my heritage. Come enjoy the intertidal with me and my family!”

https://www.airbnb.com/experiences/712091

Price: From $100 USD per person (1.5 hours)

Review: “A can’t-miss experience unlike any other! Spencer showed us a whole new way to look at the ocean – as a garden. He is incredibly knowledgeable and made the daunting task of figuring out which seaweeds to harvest, and how, so clear. And the ramen he made at the end was spectacular! My partner and I can’t wait to forage again in the future thanks to the skills that Spencer taught us.” – Katherine
