"This place has incredible views. The property is well maintained and very clean. The pool and spa were very clean, and all the firepits were lit and available for use day and night, which was needed. The beach and coast views are incredible. Beach access was awesome and I didn't know that there were caves on the beach near the resort. Breakfast is good and plenty of food and coffee was plentiful and good quality."

"It's a beautiful property with nicely landscaped areas, including an area behind the inn where pet owners can walk their dogs. Rooms are comfortable, clean, and spacious. The inn was quiet, and a nice breakfast is provided. The location is convenient with several shopping centers within a couple minutes' walk. It's a few miles away from the Pismo Beach pier, but it was very good value for the money. It has a nice pool, hot tub, and sauna as well as an upstairs room above the lobby that has games, comfortable chairs for relaxing, and extra space if the main breakfast room is crowded."
