Lounge in style on the white beaches of the California coast. Pismo Beach offers premium ocean views, a 1200-foot pier perfect for fishing, and choice surfing. If you've had enough of bumming on the beach, check out the shops on the boardwalk or at the Pismo Beach Premium Outlets. Golfers will find plenty of desirable courses, and nature lovers will enjoy horseback riding or riding an ATV through the scenic sand dunes.

Great views

Close to Route 101 when visiting Hearst Castle (about 1 hour North), this is a good place to stay and eat. Rooms fairly standard, clean and comfortable. Lovely gardens with fires, overlook the bay. Have to say that dinner was delicious, well priced and great service. We both loved our dinner, outside and overlooking the sea.

An absolute gem

Reviewed By 66sam2015

Wow! We were booked into the resort via our English travel agent, as part of our US road trip. From the moment we stepped out of the car, we were greeted with smiles - and given a warm welcome. Our room, or should I say Suite was amazing. I’m just sorry that our stay was just overnight! We have a really tasty meal in the restaurant - the scallops and soup to start with, followed by fish and filet mignon for main, then an appetising crème brûlée for dessert. We were recommended a local Pinot noir by Ben who was such a knowledgable barman, very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. All in all, I would have stayed longer in this wonderful friendly place!

Sandcastle Hotel on the Beach

Why stay near the beach when you can stay on the beach? One of the best features of our Pismo Beach hotel is the oceanfront address, as well as our central location just steps from the Pismo Beach Pier, downtown restaurants, and Oceano Dunes - the only place in California where you can drive on the beach! Enjoy bold, beach vibes during your stay at our oceanfront hotel in Pismo Beach, where you can slip into relaxation mode from the moment you arrive, flip flops optional.

Nice place with a few design flaws

Reviewed By susancM2713KH

The room at first glance was great - large, clean, airy, room to move around, etc. Bed was comfortable, windows gave a cross-breeze, air conditioner worked. On second glance, I had some questions: 1) why does the toilet feel like it's from an elementary school? Very low to the ground, nothing to grab onto. 2) shower floor tile is an accident waiting to happen. If you don't use the rubber mat, which is stored under the wash basin, or put down a hand towel, you are going to slip and find yourself unable to get back up with no safety rails nearby. 3) great little coffee maker. Why is the only wastebasket located in the bathroom, 20 feet away? I think some designer got the vibe correct, but the practicalities were overlooked.

Nice property right overlooking the beach

Reviewed By 700scottf

This is a quaint oceanfront boutique hotel just minutes away from the Pismo Beach Pier. It’s well maintained & has a nice area to walk the beach & enjoy a fire pit by the ocean. By only issue was that I assumed for $450/night an Oceanfront Queen would have a balcony. Small windows looking out at the beach was a bit underwhelming.
