Great location and very clean

We loved staying at the condo, enjoyed the short walk to beach and our host was excellent!. Only thing we did not love is that the beds and the pull out beds they were not very comfortable I would say the mattresses worn out. But overall the stay was a good one for us.

House is not right in the center of Pismo but perfectly placed so that you have a beautiful beach that is not too crowded but close enough to walk to the pier & all the activities.

Spring break get away

We had a great get away. Pismo beach is beautiful and not as crowded as Southern California though not as warm! This beach house was a lot of fun and plenty of room for everyone with us, plus with the 3 levels it gave everyone privacy too. Check in was super easy. They were very quick to fix the one small issue we had. The only thing I wish they had more of was kitchen stuff. They provided us with one sponge but I could of used a dish cloth to wipe down the cupboards. I also wished they would of had a pitcher. Other than than we had a really great weekend.

Clean and spacious stay in close proximity to the beach

I stayed in this property with 10 other friends and we had a great time. The check-in process was very easy, and the condo was clean upon arrival. The host also maintained great communication throughout the whole process. I'd recommend this property if you're interested in staying near San Louis Obispo as well. We would definitely stay here again!

Thanks for allowing us to stay at your beautiful beach home. The beach was only 300 feet walk down a long set of stairs. Had all amenities I needed. Not to mention a fully stocked kitchen, which was a plus.

Great place!

The location was great, just a walk down the street to the stairs that lead to the beach. It’s about a 10 minute walk to the main downtown part of Pismo but definitely worth it. Will definitely use it again in the future.

Baseball & Birthday

Spent a family weekend for a baseball tournament and grandmas birthday as a family and the location was perfect. Everything you need. The living room was tight for our group to sit in, but who wants to sit inside when you’re at the beach. Kelly was very helpful and responsive when I couldn’t figure out the door (by user error)

Great location except for road noise

The condo is very nice and close to the beach, but also right next to Hwy 101, so it's not ideal if you can't sleep with road noise. This condo has three levels, so lots of stairs which we didn't take into consideration before booking, knowing our 90-year-old parent would be staying with us. Still, everything was great, the beds were comfortable and we had enough towels for everyone. We had an issue with the keys, but the local contact and host were both quick to respond and resolve the problem. (Thank you!) We booked this condo for our daughter's graduation weekend from Cal Poly and would highly recommend it for anyone needing lodging during that extremely busy time. Book early!!
