I made an excellent choice of many Pismo Beach hotels! Cottage Inn by the Sea has a beautiful location overlooking the ocean. Our room (King with ocean view, upper floor) was great - large, clean, comfortable. I cant say enough good things about the wonderful staff - very friendly and helpful. It was a perfect stay - we only wish we could have stayed longer. But we will return!

Very quaint boutique style hotel right on the cliffs of Pismo Beach. We woke to a sea lion and dolphins out our window. Had our morning coffee walking the path along the beach where we saw hundreds of Pelicans and other native birds. We ended at one of the gas fire pits. Great stay….
