Top Pismo Beach Hotel Reviews

Spyglass Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location right on the beach with a wonderful view. Room was clean and comfortable. Will stay there again."

Cottage Inn By The Sea

10/10 Excellent

"Cottage Inn by the Sea is a gem in Pismo Beach and a place my family and I have been coming back to for years. The oceanfront rooms are hard to beat, and having multiple fire pits (usually 3–4 available) right along the shore makes evenings there extra special. One of the best recent upgrades is the addition of A/C in every room, such a nice bonus and definitely appreciated. The staff is always super friendly and welcoming, which really adds to the experience. They also offer a great selection of complimentary beach gear like chairs, frisbees, footballs, volleyballs, and more, making it easy to enjoy a full day at the beach without bringing everything yourself. It’s a relaxing, family-friendly spot with an unbeatable location. We’ll definitely keep coming back."
