About this property

Emberlight | Private Fire Pit & Beach Access

  • Welcome to Emberlight, a charming studio cottage in the heart of Avila Beach. Known for its rare private outdoor space, this bungalow features a dedicated patio with your own gas fire pit—perfect for evenings under the stars. Located just one block from the sand, you are steps from the pier and shops. Inside, enjoy modern comforts like AC, fast WiFi, and a kitchenette. Whether for a romantic escape or a solo recharge, Emberlight offers an effortless stay in the Solmaré Collection.

    VINTAGE SOUL, OUTDOOR LIVING
    We have preserved the timeless character of this historic bungalow while upgrading it for modern travel. The interior features a bright, open layout with air conditioning and fast WiFi, but the real magic is outside. Unlike many beach rentals, Emberlight offers your own private gas fire pit (exclusive to this unit), making it the ultimate spot to unwind with a glass of wine after a day at the beach.

    Note: This is a kitchenette (no stove), but you are steps away from the Custom House and other top-tier dining.

Restful weekend

Looking for a nice spot just to get away for a weekend and Avila Beach didn't disappoint. The Bungalows were a nice, clean and quiet environment just 1 block from the beach and boardwalk - yet still quiet and restful.

Great! Close to everything. Comfy beds. Quiet neighborhood at night. Loved having the fire pit. Only disappointing aspect, was thinking there was an electric charger for the car and there was not. When requesting info about it, Info was incomplete. We figured out other things but that was a bummer. Parking was in very tight spots. Easy walk for beach and many restaurants.

A couple of complaints, the coffee maker would not work probably needs servicing, the frig was only for wine with no freezer and getting was a challenge. The location was great and the place was cozy

Lovely, cozy studio. Clean with lots of natural light. The biggest draw is being a block away from the beach, it was so lovely to be so close, and they even have beach chairs. Parking took us a minute to find, only because the driveway is around the corner from the street the unit is actually on, but once we figured it out it was super simple. Definitely a great stay if you just need a simple place to lay your head before exploring the surrounding towns.

The property is super cute and you can't beat the proximity to the beach! We had a private patio with fire pit and it was the perfect ambiance to enjoy a night cap.Communication with the host was a little lacking and I still haven't received a response after I told him our toilet was clogged within the first hour of arrival on Saturday. We had to manually scoop out the water and try various tricks from the Internet because there was no plunger.

The was a quaint (267 sq ft) unit within a block of the beach. It was quiet, comfortable, and the fire pit was nice in the cool mornings and evenings. I booked through Expedia, not VRBO, and had disconnects with the host. I attempted to cancel my reservation on two occasions outside of the 2-week, non-refundable period listed on Expedia (and my receipt). Both requests were met with resistance so I stayed the course and kept my reservation. Fortunately, I read a review indicating that parking is around the corner behind the unit. When I offered up feedback about this confusing matter, the host defensively stated that it was in the online Guide Book which, contrary to his statement, I did not receive beforehand. Traveling for a celebration, I had nicer clothes. I was disappointed that there was no iron or clothes hangars in the unit. (there were 3 coat hooks). When I shared this feedback with the host, he explained that the iron was in the laundry room and again referenced the guide book which has no mention of a laundry room. After several communications, I was directed up a ramp to a non-discriminate door (between lived-in units) where I found a grungy laundry room. By then, I had borrowed an iron from someone and ironed my shirt and slacks on the bed. It also took some trial and error with the firepit and door lock. Instructions for using both would have been nice. With a few small extras and better communication, this could have been so much nicer.
