Beachfront vacation rentals in Shell Beach, Pismo Beach

We had 6 sleep comfortably using the air mattress. We did host dinner for 13 comfortably. Shower pressure was good. Hot water was always present. Had good laundry and dryer machines. Clean place. Convenient location. Can walk downtown in 10 minutes and to the beach in 5 minutes. Check in was easy. I think there was a hiccup because we didn’t receive the door code prior to check in. However, I was able to text Newell, and he called me back with the code. Newell was quick to help us with other minor things to help make our stay enjoyable. One thing to add on is easier access to netflix and amazon prime. The Smart TV only works with Samsung phones. We had to do a hack to connect a laptop to the TV and then use the internet wifi to access Netflix and Amazon Prime. However, this was a minor issue. We loved using the fireplace! We left items behind accidentally, but Newell allowed us to get them. Overall we had a 5 star stay, and we had a memorable and warm time.

Enjoyable and beautiful location. Definitely would stay again and highly recommend.

My wife and I planned a visit to Sequoia, but when we got there smoke from a wildfire made it untenable. I contacted Heike, at the last minute, because we figured we'd head to the central coast. She responded immediately. And, lucky for us, the place was available. It's right next to a tiny airport (but you hardly hear any sounds and it's fun to watch a few small planes, e.g. Cessnas, take off or land. It's across from a park. There's a diner that's walking distance away. Pismo Beach, perhaps two miles away, has everything you'd want from fine dining to markets. I've never been to Oceano before. Now, I'm sure we'll go back. It's quieter than places like Morro Bay and SLO. The unit itself is a bit cramped, but not in a bad way. There's three bedrooms and two baths, and it's a two-story unit. I recommend Heike's place whole heartedly. She's super responsive. When one of the TV remotes didn't work, she had batteries delivered because she was out of town! Signed, Alan K

Loved my stay here. I felt safe, at peace, and amazing shops surrounding the place! WiFi was a little difficult to reach, but overall an amazing experience. I would definitely stay here again.

My family and I had a wonderful time at this condo! The condo was clean and exactly as discribed, and the views were amazing and it was easy to get to the beach. It was also close enough to walk to many of the restaurants and shops, but still was far enough away to still feel like you had privacy, and the beach never got too busy. We also loved that this area was super dog friendly. If you enjoy the small town atmosphere and amazing views, I would highly recommend this place!

Great vacation stay for 4 adults and 2 kids. View was amazing and the house had what we needed. We did need some extra coffee, which was easy to get from the Tides office. We did have one instance of some people trying to use the patio, like someone else had mentioned, but they left when we told them it wasn’t public. Overall a great place to stay.

This home met our every need. We enjoyed a relaxing, comfortable stay, it was like home away from home. It was the perfect size for two. Centrally located to restaurants, shopping, hiking, and wine tasting, as well as local sites. I eat an entirely plant based diet so I especially appreciated the fully functioning kitchen with proper pots, pans and knives.

This place was beautiful. It felt newly renovated and was very clean. We only had 7 in our party but this place could easily accommodate more. Very short walk to the beach made this location very desirable. I only had a few suggestions in my opinion to get this place to an A+ but this place is definitely an A rating and we would stay here again. Thank you so much!

Great location and nicely maintained older resort! Exactly as described and can’t beat the view or location.

We had a great time at this facility. The room was clean and well stocked with the necessities. The people working at the Inn are friendly and eager to accommodate any needs. They gave our daughter coloring books and let her look at and touch all the halloween decorations. There are lots of spaces to enjoy/relax on the grounds from your own patio, to the obvious poolside, to a chair on the green grass overlooking the bay, the game room with big windows or the shared lounge patio with a cozy gas fire. It never felt crowded, but the other guests were also all quite friendly. Our needs/questions were quickly met by both Sharon and the facility staff. We found many things to do nearby in Avila, Pismo or San Luis Obisbo. In particular, we geared our trip towards young kids; we walked the pier, saw seals, visited the aquarium, enjoyed a playground by the beach and one ON the beach, saw steelhead jumping in the river, shopped in the outlets, got ice cream and visited the Avila Valley Barn with a petting zoo and pumpkins. We would absolutely stay again.

We had a great time staying at the RV! It was clean, fit 2 people and a small dog easily. It was easy to get in and out and explore the Pismo Beach area.

Lovely, old-school motel on the PCH. Setting is breathtaking, walk to beach is easy or challenging depending on the path you choose. The firepits overlooking the ocean were a nice touch and great place to relax after my long day in the car. Having an on-site restaurant was fantastic as there isn’t really much to choose from in San Simeon. Proximity to Hearst Castle was great. Would definitely stay here again on my next trip to the area!

Absolutely perfect peaceful getaway. Could not have been any more relaxing for my wife and I.

We had a great stay at the Cavalier Oceanfront Resort! The amenities were a highlight—loved the on-site restaurant, the evening bonfires, and the peaceful atmosphere. The staff was super friendly and made us feel very welcome. Hearst Castle and the elephant sea lions were just a short drive away, which made for some fun nearby adventures. Our only issue was that the carpet in the room had a strong odor, like it hadn’t been cleaned in a while, and we were a bit disappointed that the room wasn’t oceanfront as expected. That said, everything else made for a really enjoyable experience. Would definitely stay again!

Exactly as described. They let us check in a few hours early which i really appreciated! It’s a little farther walk to the beach than it looked like on Google maps but it’s still doable in 10 mins ish!

We arrived and immediately felt at Home. We had pretty much everything we needed. With our little dog in tow , it was awesome to an enclosed backyard. With Grass.. super tidy yard! Great to have a garage for our car and laundry on site. The kitchen was large and stocked well even some spices and oils to use.. beds were comfy and cozy. Cute beach decor and a lovely gas fireplace for our cold rainy nights . I found additional blankets in the living room hutch. I walked to the beach every AM with my dog. Two blocks away. We could hear the waves at night from our bedroom. Perfect

Robin was great ! Would come back any day :)

Absolutely loved my stay at Amber’s place! The beach is right down the street, and the space felt perfect in size. It’s just like a master bedroom! I’m so glad there were coat hangers, and a dresser because I always overpack and had a ton of clothes I didn’t want wrinkled. I will definitely be coming back!

Had a great time at Ambers place ! The place is super comfy and home-like. While the space isn’t too big, our group of 7 fit perfectly. Everything was what we expected and Amber is awesome !! The only downside that may be a problem for some is the noise from the tenants upstairs. You can hear them walking up & down the stairs and you can hear their conversations pretty clearly as well. We didn’t care too much for the noise but just a warning for future guests! Thank you Amber for the opportunity to stay here, we had the best time & will definitely return!

Amazing place to stay !! Really relaxing !! Away from Bay Area… was great to clear off the mind and great views of the ocean !! Nicely kept condo with good spacious bedrooms for 4 adults. Thank you for hosting us.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Living Well Gallery & Spa! Our host Barbara is such an amazing cook and incredibly generous and accommodating. We felt absolutely spoiled for our entire visit! Every meal she fed us was superb and catered to our specific dietary needs. Her spa treatments were lovely and her gardens were exquisite! And the location was unbeatable! Tucked away behind tinted glass so that we could see out to the entirety of Atascadero Lake but joggers and folks walking their dogs could not see in. Just a five minute walk from the park and the Atascadero Zoo! Highly recommended to anyone and everyone who needs to get away and enjoy some pampering!

It was the perfect stay for what we needed and looked exactly like the pictures! It was only a block away from all the shops and restaurants, and the beach which was so convenient. They even had beach chairs which were super helpful (well, all of the amenities were!). Kyle was very helpful and the communication overall was thorough and consistent. We will absolutely stay here again when we come to town!
