Great Room!
We were abke to book this stay at the last minute and glad we did. The room was nice, even had a fireplace. We had a deck with chairs to watch the ocean. Team Members were very friendly. The only critique was the furniture was a little dated.

Happy at Cottage Inn by the Sea
Our family, 5 kids, 2 parents and 1 set of grandparents stayed in 3 rooms. The location was ideal and so close to the ocean. We loved the fire pits and the chance to make s’mores. Our kids loved the pool as well. It felt like a vacation. It was quick drive to anywhere in Pismo and Arroyo Grande. Thankful to have gone and time for our family.

Cozy and Comfortable stay
Our stay was wonderful, relaxing and peaceful. We loved all the amenities offered here. Room was clean, comfortable and updated. The fireplace added a cozy and warm atmosphere to our room. The view is exceptional and one of the best any hotel nearby has to offer. We loved the walk down to the shore and enjoyed the fire pits each night. Truly and highly recommend. Will definitely be back. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
