Public shoreline access is nearby but may involve uneven terrain—please use caution. Beach access is via a naturally occurring path and is not maintained by the HOA or county parks. If guests require an ADA-accessible entrance or formal stairs with a handrail, we recommend using the access points at San Simeon Cove, Moonstone Beach, or Pico Creek, which is just a short drive from the home. Please note: all beach access is at one’s own risk, regardless of the route taken. ⚠️ Entry requires stairs: 4 steps down to the unit, plus one interior step into the living area. Not ideal for guests with mobility concerns. While the home does not feature central air conditioning, its location near the beach ensures that cool ocean breezes naturally keep the space comfortable. Just open the windows or sliding doors, and let the fresh coastal air create the perfect seaside atmosphere. 🚗 Garage parking is not available; shared entryway used by only four units in the complex ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the condo: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - Near the bay - Near the ocean ### Things to do - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing 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) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Unit size: 1,273 square feet ## Similar properties ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/92000000/91100000/91091300/91091248/ac1c1c1a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Oceanfront Unicorn Cottage - No Comparable Property Around San Simeon - Pet-friendly 9.8 Exceptional 9 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-08&endDate=2026-02-09&selected=91091248&PinnedHotelID=91091248&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34750000/34748700/34748601/26a164f9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2\.
