This was a lovely property, right on the cliff overlooking Pismo Beach. We loved the beach access, fire pits, and comfortable rooms. Well maintained, and conveniently located 5 minutes to the Pismo Beach pier, and right off the 101!
Excellent location and walking distance to Pismo. Fire pits are so fun and can’t beat the morning walks on the beach! Oh, delicious coffee in the rooms, too!
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cottage Inn by the Sea. The staff were helpful and friendly, the accommodations were good, and the location was magical. We will return whenever possible.
Loved our stay here! The staff were so helpful and accommodating. Room was very clean and so nice! The fire pits overlooking the ocean was the perfect place to relax in the evening.
