Avila Beach Vacation Rental Creates Memories
A visitor told AvilaBeachTown this on a recent summer day:
“When I was a child, my family vacationed in Avila Beach every summer. The memories I have from those years are so dreamlike that I wanted my own children to experience at least one summer here. Well, we stayed last year, and now we’re back, and my wife told me to book our vacation next year before all the good rentals are gone. We love Avila Beach.”

Many of the artists have drawn from the natural beauty of the central coast, capturing the light, color, drama and emotion that abounds in the region. Abstract work is also represented in this month’s show, whimsical paintings that feel like music on canvas.
