About this property

Our cozy guest house is great for families & golf!

We have a 2nd, smaller vacation rental on the property as well, so if you're in town for a family event, this is a great place to stay.

The Cottage is a cozy guest house at the back of our 2 1/2 acre country property. It has it's own private access drive from the road. Tall pine trees grace and shade the cottage's intimate, fenced garden and large dog yard. There is an abundance of trees, plant life and wildlife on and around our property. Enjoy the large, fully-stocked kitchen, watch cable on the 50'' plasma TV, soak in the large bathroom's jacuzzi tub, BBQ on the private deck, read in the flower garden, and let your dogs play in the fenced yard. Stream to your heart's content w/ the 100+mbs wifi.

Not as pictured

* Ants: kitchen, living room, bathroom * Towels: moldy (Had to rewash to be able to use). * Cobwebs, spiders, dust in every room * Skylight directly over bed: owner said “she wouldn’t want that in her house” WOW okay?!? So if you enjoy sunshine directly in your eyes while you sleep pasted 6am then this is the place for you! * Washing machine: moldy * Adirondack chairs: too splintered to sit in * Yard: previous dog presents on lawn Overall a hot mess.

Quiet Stay on the Mesa

Nice property with LOTS of room to stretch out. Big, well-appointed kitchen. Host is wonderful. Very quiet location with lots of trees, mockingbirds, European ring neck doves and two resident chickens who believe they are of royal lineage.

Two weeks of relaxation!

A little rough around the edges but very comfortable with Everything you could possibly need. Suzy the owner was very accommodating . Two large fenced in yards made it great for our pooch to run around . My wife and I really enjoyed farm life with chickens and one rooster. We would definitely rent the cottage again.

Peaceful countryside cottage

We (2 adults) just concluded a 10 week stay in this peaceful and comfortable cottage in a semi-rural area of Nipomo. This served as our home base while we were renovating a home we purchased nearby. The cottage was perfect for our needs - with a spacious kitchen, living room area, bedroom, two bathrooms, outside deck and two attached yards. Our labradoodle especially enjoyed the yards and viewing the chickens and rooster on the adjacent chicken coop. We greatly appreciated the hospitality of our hosts/owners who are available for assistance but also give you complete privacy. We were even treated to fresh eggs and lemons from the trees on the property! The kitchen, bathrooms and laundry room contain basic provisions (along with pots, pans, plates, glasses, etc.) which we found helpful. We also enjoyed the internet, multiple streaming services, and cable TV. We highly recommend this cottage for travelers.

Relaxing, Quaint, and Comfortable

We enjoyed our one-month stay at the cottage so very much. The setting is rural, which we loved. Chickens, owls, and lots of trees. It was a short drive from Pismo beach (15 minutes), so we went there almost every day. There were two fenced yards for our dog with lots of space for him to run and sun bathe on the porch. We really enjoyed Nipomo as well. The local children's park has a huge, exciting play structure, and we took our dog on many walks in the Native Gardens. The cottage is so open and spacious. Plenty of room for our whole family, even though the kids slept in the living room, one a cot we brought and the other on the cottage hideaway bed. We kept our truck and all the scooters/bikes in the attached garage, so that was very convenient. Suzy was incredibly helpful with anything we needed, and even though the cottage is behind the main residence, you have plenty of space and your own entrance/driveway. You really feel like a separate residence. I worked online, and the Wifi worked perfectly. Plenty of streaming channels on the television. We had a delightful time at the Nipomo cottage and hope to return again. Thank you for a delightful stay!

Absolutely a dump

The home was not clean at all. The refrigerator looked like it had not been cleaned in years. The pantry shelves were filthy and the drawers had spider webs and many large dead bugs within them. The stove (listed as “high end” which it probably was 20 years ago) had layers of oil and grime all over. The bathtub in the master had cobwebs and dirt in it. The owner was upset when we left, accusing us of “swiping” the condiments from the refrigerator. During COVID, I would not use any opened food as who would know who had opened and used them. I have pictures to prove all of this.

We enjoyed the cedar deck and cooking dinner looking at the gorgeous pine trees. Kitchen is well-equipped for having family over. Great for entertaining. Big dining table for puzzles. We spent the days hiking to the dunes and exploring the beaches and spent the evenings relaxing!

Peace and quiet in the country

This was our second stay at this property and we love it. The main selling point for us is a fenced yard for our dog but we would probably stay here even without a dog. I like that it's away from the craziness of Pismo yet a short drive if you want to go there. The pictures are very accurate of the house. It has a lovely, large deck with a table and bbq grill. If you need an ocean view then this is not that house but otherwise, it has everything you could want. Perfect for a short or longer-term stay.

This was a very nice, large cottage. We loved the area.

The property was beautiful. I loved having the garage to park my car. I felt free to roam around and enjoy. It was nice having our own access to the property. It was also fun listening to the chickens in the back.

A lovely, roomy, well appointed 1BR cottage in a quiet semi-rural area. Big deck on the back was a great place to sit out, have BBQ lunch and let the dog run around. Close to two good golf courses.

Lovely Home & Quiet Neighborhood

The home we stayed at was very lovely, very quiet and quite a bit of room for the two of us. We also appreciated being able to park our vehicle in the garage attached to the house. It was convenient to all of the really nice surrounding towns where there was plenty of restaurants and stores.

A great location - away from the crowds!

A very well designed and comfortable house. It was just perfect for two of us and our dog. A large, fully fenced yard was such a treat; not having to worry about the dog getting out. The kitchen is extremely spacious and has a nice selection of basic cookware and dishes. Two outdoor sitting areas to enjoy the great weather. The house gets a great cross breeze if you open the doors/windows, it was so refreshing. If being right in the middle of the action is important to you, then this may not be the place for you. But if you want to be centrally located to everything on the central coast, yet return to a very peaceful and quiet house, then I definitely recommend this place. It sits behind the owners' house on a large property. It has its own driveway. Suzy dropped by after we arrived to bring a few items she likes to keep stocked in the house which was very kind. We stated four nights and it really felt like home - I hated to leave!
