Cozy Shell Beach Cottage
My family and I rented this cottage for the weekend of Cal Poly's graduation. It was perfect. It was just a short drive to SLO! We went between Shell Beach and campus multiple times without a problem. The cottage is very well appointed with everything one needs for a very comfortable stay. Super clean, comfortable beds, fully equipped kitchen, I will definitely stay again when I'm in the area!

Darling Little Beach House
This cute home is in a great neighborhood of Shell Beach. Friendly neighbors, restaurant across the street, coffee shop a block away and a short walk down the street gives you the most incredible view of the ocean and coastline. The house had everything we needed. There was even a welcome basket with a bottle of wine and snacks. We were very happy there. A great experience and memories with my parents that we will talk about for years to come.

Highly recommend!
Great location in a quiet, friendly neighborhood. Many gorgeous walks and food options right from the driveway. We loved that we were close enough to Pismo Pier to visit but far enough away from the crowds. It was handy to have the small front yard and back enclosed concrete patio for our two boxer dogs. They tired themselves out on beach romps so they didn’t need much space. The cottage was stocked with many little touches: lots of clean towels, brand new sponge and dish soap, a welcome basket with wine (to enjoy cliffside sunsets with the locals) etc. Melissa was always quick to reply to any questions I had. Definitely recommend this charming cottage!

This was such a great little cottage. Great location. Several good restaurants within walking distance. The ocean just at the end of the street. And even though the Highway is close by, you really can't hear it. Will definitely try to stay here again.

Amazing beach cottage
We stayed here with our family to bring our son back to school at CalPoly. We want ed more space and privacy than a hotel due to Covid. The house was perfect and very clean. Beautifully decorated and comfy beds. The kitchen was well stocked with all the utensils for preparing meals. , including knives that can actually cut vegetables! We will defiantly be back!
