Welcome to our Shell Beach house--our family's home since 2008\. It is located in a charming neighborhood walking distance to the beach, Dinosaur Caves Park, restaurants, coffee shops, and pretty much anything you need. We love walking the entire neighborhood in Shell Beach. Pismo Beach and Avila Beach are a short drive away. Or venture a little farther (10 minutes by car) and south is the quaint town of Arroyo Grande, north is the infamous San Luis Obispo--the "happiest town in America." Our home has a great open kitchen and dining area that connects to the living room with a giant window letting in lots of bright light. The front yard deck has built in benches for lounging outside and table/chairs for outdoor dining. The bedrooms are spacious with plenty of closet space. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio - Yard ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping on request - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near an outlet shopping centre ### Things to do - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Housekeeping (on request) - Unit size: 1,600 square feet ## Similar properties ![Smart TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114290000/114284400/114284338/041e2052.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Oceanfront 3-bedroom house in Shell Beach Shell Beach - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Outdoor space [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-17&endDate=2026-03-18&selected=114284338&PinnedHotelID=114284338&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/37000000/36340000/36334700/36334645/dfaa38b9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Well-Furnished Oceanside Home!

Stayed 30 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heather h. 31 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Bring your own toilet paper! Cute well stocked beach cottage with modern touches. Advise to guests: watch water temp in kitchen & master bathroom, beware of steam burns in master shower. Beach is closed, no access. Do not run water during night as pipes start knocking so bad it sounds like a jackhammer in the bathroom walls. Bring your own toilet paper as this is the cheapest, thinnest, scratchiest paper - I've seen better in gas station bathrooms. If you are traveling with a small dog be aware they can get out of both front and back yards. Advice to hosts: upgrade the toilet paper. Really. Even just a little. Put warning label on hot water in kitchen & master shower, or turn down the max temp a little. Replace the squeegee in master shower - it doesn't work even with full body pressure. Find source of pipes knocking & do whatever it takes to fix it. Nearby beach is closed fyi. This place is comfortable & nice, good job & thank you. ##### Heather h. Stayed 30 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie D. 21 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Robyn's home was everything we were hoping for, for a longer stay on the Central Coast! It was a great launching point for coastal hiking, plus there is a lovely park, Dinosaur Caves, just a block away. We really enjoyed walking down to the rocky coast and watching the pelicans and other birds at sunset or in the morning.The house itself was super comfortable, much more spacious than it looks in the pictures! Very clean and kitchen was well stocked. The decorating was delightful, local art and not overdone. The couch and easy chair in the living room were super comfortable after a long day out.The neighborhood felt safe quiet with established homes, and we enjoyed walking a block up to Shell Beach road with several restaurants, especially Zorro's! ##### Julie D.

Right in Shell Beach, close to Dinosaur Park (pups were happy), lovely patio to sit on, nice (and looked like recently renovated) well-supplied kitchen, fenced back yard (again, good for the pups), two generously-sized bathrooms - lots of thoughtful touches - all around this house exceeded expectations. ##### Susan T.

The location was perfect...it was a short walk to the ocean or into town to eat. The front patio is a great place to start and end your day just enjoying the weather and chatting with people walking by. It’s an easy drive to Pismo or Avila Beach. After making this our home for a month it was hard to leave, but we will definitely be back. ##### Tiffany S.

Perfect location to walk to ocean cliffs to watch birds, sunset and the waves crush. Great town to walk around. Awesome kitchen with everything you need to cook up wonderful meals and sit out on the front deck and watch the sunset. Nice bathrooms and comfortable king bed in master. Host was helpful and responded to texts. Definitely would stay again. ##### Louise H.
