Frequently asked questions
- Who is Solmaré Stays?
- Solmaré Stays is a small, hands-on vacation rental company based in Pismo Beach, California. It manages 12 short-term rental properties along the Central Coast — ten in Avila Beach and two in Arroyo Grande wine country — on behalf of homeowners, and rents those same properties directly to travelers at solmarestays.com.
- Is it cheaper to book direct than on Airbnb?
- Yes. Booking directly at solmarestays.com costs less than the identical property on Airbnb or Vrbo, because those platforms add a guest service fee on top of the nightly rate. Booking direct also means you deal with the local Avila Beach team rather than a platform inbox.
- Where are Solmaré Stays properties located?
- Ten properties are in Avila Beach, most within a block or two of the sand. Two are in Arroyo Grande wine country: a 13-acre private estate and a working farm cottage. Solmaré does not currently manage a property inside San Luis Obispo city, but Avila Beach is a 15-minute drive from downtown SLO and about 20 minutes from Cal Poly, which is why many visiting families stay at the beach instead.
- What is the best time of year to visit Avila Beach?
- Avila Beach sits in a sheltered, south-facing cove, so it stays mild year-round — daytime highs average around 68°F and the town records roughly 3,500 hours of sunshine a year. Summer is busiest and books earliest. September is the warmest month and noticeably quieter than August.
- Do you also manage properties for owners?
- Yes. Solmaré Stays provides full-service vacation rental management for San Luis Obispo County homeowners, covering listing optimization, dynamic pricing, guest communication, cleaning, and maintenance. The fee is 18% of net rental revenue — after lodging tax, cleaning and pet fees, not the gross a guest pays. Owners who already hold a short-term rental permit are the most common way properties join, since the permit stays in the owner's name. Owners can request a revenue projection at solmarestays.com/management, and questions are welcome even without a partnership.
