It's the perfect distance between Pismo and Avila Beaches and has easy access to many restaurants and a little store. The room was simple but had everything we needed to enjoy the beach. The pool was warm enough that we could use it and my kids enjoyed it a lot. ##### Bryan Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jillian 3 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Such a hidden gem! The room was exactly as pictured. Every little detail was thought of for the most comfortable stay. It was so quiet and I had the best nights sleep.

I would not hesitate to stay here again. ##### Jillian Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 16 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Good location ,,really comfy bed ,nice little pool and seating area ,good communication from owner on how to get room key on phone as i was ariving later in the evening, nice little shop next door ,loved the old fashioned neon motel sign would stay again ##### David Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel 28 Jul 2025 The property was in a great location close to just about everything.

A few items for suggested improvement.One wash cloth given, per person, for 4 days is insufficient. Bath and hand towels provided daily. Dirty floor. My slipper socks very dirty. A floor lamp not plugged in and unable to plug in. Clean and cozy room and nice simple amenities. Close to shops and restaurants and a short walk to the beach. A very nice place to stay. ##### Nancy Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Alfred 21 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Location is great everything is in walking distance.Staff was friendly and rooms were nice.Only the bed was old and you rolled to the middle and had a hard time getting off of it .
