Beautiful property! Breakfast was just enough to get you up and going. The balcony rooms have an amazing, relaxing view. Pool was heated and open until 10pm, plenty of loungers around the property. My only gripe is wishing there were more fire pits around, we only saw one. Rooms were clean and bright. We did not have any issues during our stay.

Beautiful and great amenities

Gorgeous ocean views from every room, and a heated pool and hot tub made this place perfect. It is quiet, but only a 5 minute drive to pismo pier. They also have an incredible complimentary breakfast spread and wine tasting daily
