Petit Soleil - Bed, Breakfast and Bar

Perched above Avila Beach on Monterey Street, Petit Soleil is a French-inflected bed, breakfast, and bar where hardwood floors, brocade details, and minibars give each room a wine-country inn feel within steps of the California coast.

The on-site bar runs a happy hour and stocks wine and champagne for in-room celebrations; an outdoor fireplace and furnished terrace make the garden a useful evening spot when the marine layer rolls in off San Luis Bay. Breakfast is included and served in a setting small enough that the concierge staff still remembers orders.

Avila Beach itself sits a short walk downhill, with Port San Luis and the Bob Jones Trail nearby. Parking is on-site — useful given the limited street supply along this stretch of the SLO coast.
