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.

SLEEPING SANCTUARY
Guests consistently rave about our sleep quality:
- Primary: Luxurious Queen Bed with hotel-quality linens and blackout window treatments.

KITCHENETTE & DINING
Everything you need for light meals and morning routines:
- Keurig coffee maker with complimentary pods
- Microwave and Refrigerator
- A bistro table perfect for morning coffee or al fresco dining on the patio.
Note: This is a kitchenette (no stove), but you are steps away from the Custom House and other top-tier dining.

RESORT-STYLE AMENITIES
Emberlight is part of the Las Casitas Avila collection, giving you access to shared perks:
- EV Charging Station (Level 2)
- 2 Beach Cruisers (Available upon request to explore the coast)
- Additional Shared Fire Pits in the courtyard

The property looked like the pictures, clean and conveniently located steps from the beach. Check in and communication was easy. I'll definitely stay here again.

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.

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.

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.

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.
