There is such a lot to do in this area, and I really enjoyed the quiet area to get some work done as well as walk on the beach and enjoy some great down time. Check in was easy and I had everything I needed. Highly recommend for convenience and location. ##### Rebecca D. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Alex C.

Only cons: Handle on bathtub was broken, so I could turn it on, but wasn’t able to adjust the temperature so it was scorching hot Backyard wasn’t as nice as pictures showed. It was still nice and I enjoyed some time reading out there. , but it was missing the string lights ##### Alex C. Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Dan D.

The property really needs another room... bedroom and a bath and a laundryroom is just not enough ... would not rent again. ##### Dan D. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Bridget C. Aug 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent Host! Scott was a great host! The rental is a room within a home, with a private entrance, which was just as it was represented online. It was not ultra quiet. When booking a room within a home, that is to be expected. The room was nicely appointed and clean. I would book again! ##### Bridget C. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Farideh D. Aug 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Comfortable and Peaceful Stay in a Great Neighborhood Near the Beach We had a wonderful stay at Scott's property in Grover Beach. The room and bed were comfortable, and the place was clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. Scott is an excellent host who communicated exceptionally well, consistently checking to see if we needed anything and graciously allowing us a late check-out. The serene and calm ambiance, accentuated by the soothing sound of water at the entrance, made our stay even more enjoyable. The yard was green, clean and quaint, providing a lovely spot to have meals and to relax. Scott's kindness, attention to detail and hospitality make him a five-star host. We highly recommend staying at Scott's place for a peaceful and delightful experience. Thank you, Scott! ##### Farideh D. Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aaron E. Sep 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Tropical Retreat - Pismo Beach area I stayed at Tropical Retreat for 3 nights while I moved my son into college in San Luis Obispo. Scott was very welcoming and the portion of the home I had was clean, well organized and all faculties were high quality and worked as expected. If you're looking for an entire home, this is not that, but a private entrance, bedroom, bath and laundry room are available. I enjoyed my stay! ##### Aaron E.
