Very clean, comfortable, and well equipped for your beach visit. So close to the beach and food! Dog friendly and the backyard space is beautiful and perfect for pups and for enjoying the weather.
We so enjoyed the properties history of holding out against the new development in the area- what a refreshing interesting story. This little place has a great location- we walked everywhere everyday, except when we took our bikes. Hannah made us very welcome and or dog was made welcome as well. She loved her blankets and toys. The outdoor space is perfect through out the day and very dog friendly. We appreciated the game/activities and beach equipment. Pismo is a very fun little town with lots going on. And Hannah, thanks for the restaurant recommendations!
We had such an amazing time at the cottage. It is a close walking distance from Splash Cafe and even closer to the beach. The neighborhood is super quiet too!! The house is cute and has all the original old charm that we love. The doggies loved this home as well with the great backyard for them to run around! We definitely love this home and extended our trip by a whole day. Can’t wait to come back again soon!
We met our adult sons here from Austin, San Diego and SLO. They were able to hang out with our dogs too. Thank you for making it so comfortable and special for all of us.
We had a great time at the keen cottage and I have to say that it was one of the better if not best VRBO that we have stayed in so far. The cottage is super cute and clean. It held our family of 4 people with the dog just fine. The location to the beach is amazing and if you sit on the front porch in the afternoon you get great sun and a view of the ocean:)
Loved the location of this property. It’s right downtown and easy to walk to restaurants, the pier, and the beach. Everything was super clean and thoughtfully put together. Our teenager had a great time with the pool table and dart board. It was a little chilly the evenings we were there and we loved sitting around the fire pit - the basket of “outdoor blankets” by the back door were put to good use. The beds were comfortable. USB plugs on all the lamps made charging devices easy. Overall a great place to stay and we plan to visit again - next time with our dog.
Firstly, the owner Hannah was marvelous. Hannah was very professional and provided
quick responses to all of our queries.
The property was quite lovely and provided many activities to enjoy the AMAZING weather. We LOVED the outdoor backyard space and spent quite a bit of time out there. While other units around the area looked to only have balconies the outdoor space in this rental really made this our families first choice. The beach was about a 5 minute walk and was awesome. Restaurants and grocery stores are also very conveniently located around the corner. We cooked most of our meals in the unit and the
the kitchen had more than adequate supplies. Beds all very comfy along with the couch in the family room. Alot of very nice personal touches around the unit as everything was easy to find. We would definetely rent this unit again in the future.
We loved our stay here. The place has been recently renovated/restored and was like a small piece of old town Pismo, with all the modern luxuries. It’s like your own private compound-game room, private backyard with bbq, table, open areas with fake grass, compressed peeled and concrete. Well landscaped with a wonderful shade cloth and a gas fire pit. Both us and the dogs loved the yard. Main house was well stocked, including fans, heaters and lots of towels and blankets if needed. The bathroom was a bit small, but worked well for just the two of us. The king bed is in a separate bungalow with the only bathroom in the main house. That could be an issue for some, as you need to go outside (in the backyard) to get to the bathroom. If I had to change one thing, I’d ask for dimmers on the lights. They were either off, or super bright on. Location was spectacular. Hanna was a wonderful host, had to call shortly after arrival (with a really dumb question), she was easily reachable and wonderfully helpful and gracious. Would 100% recommend and would stay there again if we ever return to Pismo.
