Great location and nice property. Nice room with cozy beds. No microwave but I heated some to go food in the lobby. Our shower was a bit mildewy smelling but tolerable. We walked next door to get some beach access and gorgeous views of one of our favorite places!

I had an amazing stay at this cozy little cottage in Pismo Beach. The space was clean, comfortable, and had a relaxing, homey feel from the moment I walked in. It’s just a short walk from the beach, making it the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the ocean.

Room was super nice and clean. The staff great! I didn’t give a 5 because the fan was too noisy, upstairs noise was loud, someone had a party and we could hear music playing at night. Couldn’t sleep 🛌! I requested an upstairs room and they didn’t have any….😏

Door was difficult to open. Security lock did not engage the door frame. Bathroom doorknob did not open from inside the bathroom. Thank God there were 2 of us, or a person could spend the whole stay in the bathroom. Lighting was bad. The full length mirror is useless if there is no light over it. Pillows were hard. I had a sleepless night. Never stay again.
