Empty Avila Beach Pier over calm Pacific water, no people

They are not looking for Anacortes, and they are not looking for a blended shore year. 98 active listings sit on this extract. Write the town you can actually walk.

Typical listings earned about $72,319 on that sample; that year is evidence, not a clearance. Do not let a low-regulation label replace Planning and Building.

They are not the same number. Pull the tax map before you file either one as a permit. Hosts keep asking for one Avila Beach Pier number they can file.

Frequently Asked Questions

What did typical Avila Beach listings earn on this extract?

About $72,319 last year from 98 active rentals on the AirROI trailing twelve months from August 2025 through July 2026. Average night was $602, occupancy 38.0 percent, and revenue per available night $230. Year over year on that sample is minus 11.9 percent, so the year is a file to underwrite, not a promise that next August will print the same. Keep Anacortes ($28,766 on 164 listings) on its own line.

How large is the sample, and which way did it move?

Year over year is minus 11.9 percent, and active supply moved 7.7 percent. Treat that as a sample, not a census and not a permit list. A host who files 98 as if it were every legal overnight in unincorporated Avila Beach will over-read both the revenue and the risk. Use the count to size the scrape, then confirm the parcel at County Planning.

Can I fold Anacortes into the Avila Beach year?

Keep Anacortes at $28,766 on 164 listings on its own line. That is a different town, a different hall, and a different guest. Blending the two years makes Avila Beach look either safer or weaker than the extract supports. File $72,319 on 98 Avila Beach listings as the host year for this beach, then put Anacortes in a comparison footnote if you need it at all.

Which months are strongest?

June, August, and April, with June the busiest on this extract. January is the slowest month, and occupancy is weakest in January. A listing that prices January as if it were June is writing a different calendar than the sample. Occupancy for the full year is 38.0 percent, which already includes those three strong months -- it is not a weekly occupancy figure you can invent for a busy weekend.

Where do most guests arrive from?

Los Angeles first, then San Francisco. Typical stay is 4.6 nights, booked about 81 days ahead. Origin tells you who already found the town, not what to photograph. The guest who typed Avila Beach is hunting Avila Beach Pier, Olde Port Beach, Port San Luis Harbor, and Avila Valley Barn -- names this driveway can keep -- not a Los Angeles skyline in the hero.

Is Avila Beach Pier the same number as occupancy?

Guests who typed Avila Beach are looking for Avila Beach Pier, Olde Port Beach, Port San Luis Harbor, and Avila Valley Barn. Occupancy on this extract is 38.0 percent for the year. A crowded pier in June does not fill January, and it does not rewrite average night ($602) or RevPAN ($230). Write the walk the driveway can finish, then file nights as nights.

Does the listing scrape equal a county permit?

A listing scrape is not the town permit. Avila Beach is unincorporated; questions sit with San Luis Obispo County Planning and Building at 976 Osos Street. Typical earnings of about $72,319 on 98 rentals describe what listed stays did on AirROI from August 2025 through July 2026. They do not tell you whether this parcel has zoning clearance, a business license, or TOT under Coastal Zone Land Use Ordinance Section 23.08.165.

How should a host read two halls on two coasts?

File $72,319 on 98 Avila Beach listings separately from $28,766 on 164 Anacortes listings. Do not blend the years, the occupancy, or the clerk. Avila Beach's strong months on this extract are June, August, and April, with January the hole. Anacortes has its own calendar. Two coasts in a comparison table are still two markets, and only one of them is this driveway.
