Retreat Vacation Rentals - San Luis Obispo, California

We had such a wonderful stay at this beautiful rental home! From the moment we booked, the host was incredibly responsive and attentive, always making sure we had everything we needed and even going above and beyond with special accommodations that made our trip feel extra special. The house itself was stunning, so cozy and beautifully designed. The lake nearby was peaceful and perfect for a relaxing day of fishing, which we really enjoyed. But what made this trip truly unforgettable was being able to celebrate my engagement! After getting proposed to in the gorgeous vineyards of Paso Robles, this home was the perfect place to come back to for a celebratory dinner. Everything about it felt magical, and we’re so grateful to have made such meaningful memories here. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful getaway!

We stayed at a retreat vacation rentals property on our family spring break holiday at the end of March 2025. We stayed at the “Spacious SLO RETREAT | Walk to DT/Parks” home and it was amazing! Close to the train station near the railroad district in a quiet part of SLO, and a 15 minute walk from the downtown area.

The property was beautiful, just as advertised and everything was basically brand new! Lovely decor, a well stocked kitchen, and comfortable beds.

We booked direct with Retreat and saved over $300 compared to the popular vacation rental app! Retreat very responsive, easy to work with and communicated quickly when I had questions. I highly recommend booking direct with them for you next SLO vacation!

We loved our stay at this cozy cottage it was absolutely perfect for a couples' getaway! It may look small from the outside, but it had everything we needed and more. The kitchen was fully stocked (even had ice trays!), and the bed was super comfy. We especially loved the wide seat where my fiancé and I could watch movies together. One thing that really stood out to me was the bathroom. I always travel with my own toiletry bag just in case, but this place had everything, body wash, soap, shampoo/conditioner and they all smelled amazing! It was such a nice surprise not to have to dig into my own supplies. The host also left a binder of local spots to check out and activities, which was really helpful. Plus, it’s walking distance to great food and coffee like High Street Deli and The Nautical Bean. There's even a laundromat nearby where we met some super friendly locals!
We’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!

We rented a small two story garage apartment in the historic district, just a short walk from downtown. The location is outstanding in terms of nearby services and sights and a great place to launch a first visit to SLO. We stayed three weeks while waiting on a closing for our new home and couldn't be more pleased in terms of cost, safety and infrastructure. The accommodations were great for an extended stay, very clean, everything worked well, pet friendly (beautiful little fenced in back yard and a lovely small front balcony with a mountain view) and there was ample space and amenities. I didn't really know what to expect in terms of hosting and services, but to my delight (especially with all the stress of moving across country), Leslie was incredibly prompt to respond to all my changes and requests and helped immediately with any special requests. Thank you, Leslie. We would happily stay in or recommend one of your properties again knowing you would be our backup person!

Cottage #5 was perfect for our little family of 3. They were very accommodating and provided us with a travel crib for our little one. Everything was within walking distance and the perfect place to go anywhere SLO.

We really enjoyed our stay at this cozy home. The host was extremely friendly and responsive to communications. The beds were comfortable and the home was very clean. I had to work remotely and was happy that the wifi was reliable. We loved being in the downtown area and so close to the ocean. Overall: great location, wonderful home, responsive hosts, and we had everything we needed.

Quiet, cozy and dog friendly. I really enjoyed our stay in Cottage #5. It was very clean, filled with up to date amenities and very comfortable. Parking was easy in the heart of Los Osos Baywood. I will absolutely rent here again. The staff was very accommodating and helped me to modify my reservation quickly. A perfect stay in our little home away from home.
