The location is absolutely stunning—serene, peaceful, and perfect for unwinding. If you’re looking to make the most of your stay, it’s well worth splurging on the oceanfront view. Waking up to the sound of the waves and watching the sunrise over the water is truly unforgettable.

Fun beach getaway! The Cottage in has the best view and hassle free access to Pismo Beach. The fire pits are a nice way to end the night and s’mores kits are available at the front desk. The accommodations and staff are great and there is so much available from snacks to boogie boards. We had a great friends weekend getaway!
