Beachfront vacation rentals in Shell Beach, Pismo Beach

We had 6 sleep comfortably using the air mattress. We did host dinner for 13 comfortably. Shower pressure was good. Hot water was always present. Had good laundry and dryer machines. Clean place. Convenient location. Can walk downtown in 10 minutes and to the beach in 5 minutes. Check in was easy. I think there was a hiccup because we didn’t receive the door code prior to check in. However, I was able to text Newell, and he called me back with the code. Newell was quick to help us with other minor things to help make our stay enjoyable. One thing to add on is easier access to netflix and amazon prime. The Smart TV only works with Samsung phones. We had to do a hack to connect a laptop to the TV and then use the internet wifi to access Netflix and Amazon Prime. However, this was a minor issue. We loved using the fireplace! We left items behind accidentally, but Newell allowed us to get them. Overall we had a 5 star stay, and we had a memorable and warm time.

My family had such a wonderful stay at this beach house! The place was clean and well stocked with everything you could need and more. I was shocked at how comfortable the beds and bedding was. And you can’t beat getting to the beach from your back door. We would definitely stay again and hope to next year!!

My wife and I planned a visit to Sequoia, but when we got there smoke from a wildfire made it untenable. I contacted Heike, at the last minute, because we figured we'd head to the central coast. She responded immediately. And, lucky for us, the place was available. It's right next to a tiny airport (but you hardly hear any sounds and it's fun to watch a few small planes, e.g. Cessnas, take off or land. It's across from a park. There's a diner that's walking distance away. Pismo Beach, perhaps two miles away, has everything you'd want from fine dining to markets. I've never been to Oceano before. Now, I'm sure we'll go back. It's quieter than places like Morro Bay and SLO. The unit itself is a bit cramped, but not in a bad way. There's three bedrooms and two baths, and it's a two-story unit. I recommend Heike's place whole heartedly. She's super responsive. When one of the TV remotes didn't work, she had batteries delivered because she was out of town! Signed, Alan K

We stayed for a long weekend. The house is as described and in the perfect location, right on the beach. Beautiful view of the pier and Morro Rock. Beds were comfortable, place was very clean throughout, kitchen had all the basic items that one would need. Will stay here again!

Loved my stay here. I felt safe, at peace, and amazing shops surrounding the place! WiFi was a little difficult to reach, but overall an amazing experience. I would definitely stay here again.

Very rarely does it break my heart to leave a place but this beautiful little piece of heaven stole my soul. Stunning cottage, incredible location, views to die for. The space is stylish and comfortable with a unique design flair which works in every way possible. I absolutely loved this place and am so thankful to have stayed here for a few days.

Great vacation stay for 4 adults and 2 kids. View was amazing and the house had what we needed. We did need some extra coffee, which was easy to get from the Tides office. We did have one instance of some people trying to use the patio, like someone else had mentioned, but they left when we told them it wasn’t public. Overall a great place to stay.

We really enjoyed the interior spaces, nicely furnished and homey. Well-equipped kitchen was important for us since we cooked most meals. Sometimes it is the little details that help like the night lights and the clear directions. The bedrooms were very comfortable. We even played ping pong in the garage. Nicely updated bathrooms. Although the home was close to the highway, we were not disturbed. Both interior and exterior areas were very well maintained. Thankfully our 2 small dogs were allowed to be with us!

Our family had a wonderful stay here. It was very well kept, plenty to do, beautiful surroundings. Would definitely come back!

We had a great time at this facility. The room was clean and well stocked with the necessities. The people working at the Inn are friendly and eager to accommodate any needs. They gave our daughter coloring books and let her look at and touch all the halloween decorations. There are lots of spaces to enjoy/relax on the grounds from your own patio, to the obvious poolside, to a chair on the green grass overlooking the bay, the game room with big windows or the shared lounge patio with a cozy gas fire. It never felt crowded, but the other guests were also all quite friendly. Our needs/questions were quickly met by both Sharon and the facility staff. We found many things to do nearby in Avila, Pismo or San Luis Obisbo. In particular, we geared our trip towards young kids; we walked the pier, saw seals, visited the aquarium, enjoyed a playground by the beach and one ON the beach, saw steelhead jumping in the river, shopped in the outlets, got ice cream and visited the Avila Valley Barn with a petting zoo and pumpkins. We would absolutely stay again.

We had a great time staying at the RV! It was clean, fit 2 people and a small dog easily. It was easy to get in and out and explore the Pismo Beach area.

We truly enjoyed our stay!

Robert was an amazing host! Helpful, organized and proactive. Would definitely recommend him to other guests!

What can I say about this place except it was incredible! It was even better than we were expecting! I almost want to gate keep it because I don’t want the competition when booking. In all seriousness though, this place will be a yearly trip for us. We couldn’t be happier with our experience!

The ‘Sun Shack’ was cozy and just what we needed walking distance to the beach and all the restaurants!

We had a lovely time in Oceano. The condo was cute and had everything we needed. And Amber was super communicative and friendly. Absolutely no complaints!

We like the house so much everything perfect And the best part is the house is next the beach Thank you so much 🙏

Absolutely loved my stay at Amber’s place! The beach is right down the street, and the space felt perfect in size. It’s just like a master bedroom! I’m so glad there were coat hangers, and a dresser because I always overpack and had a ton of clothes I didn’t want wrinkled. I will definitely be coming back!

This was a great place for us to stay for the night! It was amazing just being able to walk to the ocean and not have to find parking and such. There was a slight issue with the laundry being full when we were trying to use it which the host assisted with so all was good! The personal touches were nice!

Great location, walkable to beach and town - lots of restaurants and shopping near by. View from condo was great! Hosts were very responsive.

What a nice little getaway- right on the beach! We had a great time- 1 night - so much to do. In my opinion it is the perfect AirBNB. Bed comfortable- nice kitchen. The ocean at our fingertips. We found a nice beach 11 miles away called elephant seal beach, that had like a thousand massive seals on it. Morro bay is a few mins away as well.

We had a great stay. We would actually stay at this place again. It’s super close to the beach and all of the Pismo Beach area has to offer. Amber has an annual vehicular beach pass for us to use. We took advantage of enjoying the beach with our vehicle, and it was extremely convenient when we wanted to see the sand dunes. The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals. The couch was very comfortable. The bed was also very comfy. Amber labels things (even on light switches) and gives details on how to use things (locking the door, using the fireplace, everything!!). She offers her cell phone number to us, which is quite unusual. We usually have to wait for a long time for a response. Amber is SO detailed and had everything well organized that we never had to text her. SHE texted us to ask if we had any questions or if we needed info on where to go, etc. You know how friends want you to feel comfortable while staying over their house? That is AMBER! Thank you, Amber!
