Family vacation.

It is in a great location to beach, shopping and restaurants. It has its own garage that fits two cars so no need to find parking. It was nice that the living area and kitchen were on a different floor than bedrooms. The beds were very comfortable. Would definitely recommend and would stay again.

Lovely condo in great location

My husband and 3 kids enjoyed our stay in this clean and comfortable condo. Though we were there during a heat wave, the fantastic location a block from the beach allowed the ocean breezes to quickly cool the place off in the evenings. Downtown is very close, too!

Great condo in a great location

We stayed for 4 nights in August 24. Stopped here for a few nights break during a 2 week trip down the CA coast. The arrival instructions were clear and the condo was very clean, comfortable and well appointed. The property is great for access to the beach, which is at the end of the street. Close to shops, restaurants and pier area. We very much enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone staying in Pismo Beach.

This condo is in a great location. Easy to walk to the beach and local shops & restaurants. It had a utility wagon & beach chairs so we didn't have to bring our own. Made hauling the kids and toys to the beach very easy. Kitchen was well stocked. Would recommend!

60th Birthday Family Getaway

My family was looking for a place to stay at the beach to celebrate my mom’s 60th birthday, and this was just the place! It had plenty of space to accommodate all of us comfortably. The house was in a great location, only a short walk to the pier and steps from the beach. It was also very clean and provided all the necessities (and more!). The owner, Natalie, was absolutely wonderful. She was easy to get ahold of and very accommodating when I reached out for help. My family enjoyed our stay so much and can’t wait to visit again!

Perfect Location, beautiful home

We were happy to see that our VRBO rental was accurately described and photographed. Our host Natalie, always responded quickly to our questions and provided helpful information about the rental and activities in the surrounding areas. The beautiful home was strategically located for access to Pismo Beach, monarch butterfly wintering grounds, and just an hour from Hearst Castle. We all agree that we had an enjoyable and comfortable stay. Thanks

Amazing location for the price!!

This property was perfect for a mini getaway by the ocean and near great food! We went with another family and had a very comfortable stay! It is located very close to beach access which is a plus when you have kids! It’s a nice neighborhood and felt safe as well. I would definitely come back and rent this property again! Natalie (the owner) was very responsive and friendly. She even let us know that we were able to check in early that day- this was extremely helpful as we were coming from out of town with kids. Thanks again!

Lovely spot close to the beach

The townhouse condo is perfect for a family. Our two grown sons and one girlfriend were with us for a family wedding weekend. The spit is close enough to the beach, restaurants and the best cinnamon roll place to make us want to return. All the bedrooms were well appointed and the kitchen had everything we needed. We had three cars. Two garage spaces come with the condo. We found parking (at this time of year) super easy right in front for the third car. We will definitely return next time we are in Pismo

About the host

Hosted by Natalie Arbuckle

Host profile image
We purchased our Pismo Beach condo in 1998 one year after we were married. We have been accommodating guests for over 24 years now! We both fell in love with Pismo when we were kids visiting from the Central Vally. We were lucky enough to make this purchase, have the rental income, and still use it for our family vacations! Our kids were babies playing in the sand and now teenagers that like to go out and do their own things. There's something for every age here!

Why they chose this property

We wanted to be close to the beach and not having to cross any streets to get there! We can walk to downtown the pier and the restaurants with no worries. Everything is so close!

What makes this property unique

Having a garage to park in! The beach air can make your vehicle wet overnight. You can park when you arrive and not have to use your car until it's time to go home. Plus there are no parking meters on our street, Free Parking!
