There are also a CD player w/radio, Books, Card games, Couch, Daybed, Chair and ottoman.

The Chalet has central heating and programmable thermostat, with ceiling fans in both living-room and bedroom. The large bedroom is decorated in a tropical island theme with its King Size platform bed (Firm) and huge mirrored closet. Open the slider to access the large smi-private patio.
The bathroom has a big shower stall equipped with safety grab bars (no tub). You will also find a hairdryer, soap and shampoo and plenty of clean towels. The large view patio offers sweeping easterly views of our two and a half acre ranchita and Poorman Canyon. Great place to sip wine and enjoy our almost nightly sunsets.

Sleeping Accommodations;
The Chalet is equipped with 1 King Bed, 1 Twin Daybed, and a six foot couch, and can sleep (3)three adult comfortably, (4)four adults in a pinch.

The Chalet is part of a three-building compound, the main house, garage/guestroom/sunroom, and the Chalet. Residing on the property, I can be available to accommodate any questions or needs that may arise during your stay, but also far enough away to ensure our mutual privacy. This is not a "party house". We prefer to rent to, responsible, friendly people and open our doors to all!

Charming cottage
Love this well appointed cottage. Very clean, plenty of towels, comfy bed, parking space and great communication and responsiveness from the host. A couple things to consider: The cottage is outside of arroyo grande in a more rural area, lovely and quiet but you need to drive to restaurants, shopping, etc. We found the cottage quiet at night however if you are a light sleeper, note that there are a few dogs that may bark, a rooster nearby and a motion light that goes on if a critter walks by. Again, it didnt bother us. We would definitely stay here again!

Such a relaxing getaway
Chalet was gorgeous the minute we opened the front door - WOW!!! It was more than spacious and nicely furnished for hubby and I to relax. We kinda liked being out in the country, taking the back roads to get around. Plenty to see and do in SLO county! Gotta admit though, we never did run into Marvin as he did such a great job communicating and sharing all the features of his chalet as well as the surrounding area.

Hidden gem
The property was just as it was described and reviewed. It was probably the cleanest VRBO we have stayed at. Despite it being close to a main road, by nighttime it was extremely quiet! No traffic noise, no barking dogs. The location was convenient and close to SLO and Pismo Beach. It is well-priced and a perfect place to stay for a short or long trip. Marvin did a beautiful job decorating the unit with Native American touches. The appliances are in excellent condition and the kitchen is well-stocked. If you are looking for a well-priced, quiet, stand alone cottage, this is the place for you!! Don’t miss out!

Super Stay!
The property is exactly as advertised. Clean, compact, and homey. Check in was a breeze due to keyless entry and the code being shared before arrival. The garden was gorgeous! A lovely location to spend a few days. Marvin is a responsive host, he answered all my questions and emails both prior to and during the stay. Close to several beautiful areas and beaches. We saw so much of the countryside and ate at several great restaurants.

We had a wonderful time at Marvin’s Chalet Ritz. The apartment is full of interesting things to look at and read, and there is a beautiful view out of every window. Everything was clean and tidy, there were plenty of supplies for our extended stay, and Marvin was quick to help us with any needs that came up. We would enjoy another stay there!

Perfect size for a couple. Comfortable bed, extremely easy checkin process and communication with our friendly host. My only suggestion would be blackout curtains/blinds and a door for the bathroom. Love having morning coffee in the patio enjoying the view. I’d definitely stay hear again (with an eye mask 😉)
