The balcony provided a 180 deg view of the ocean and property trails and gazebo. The breakfast had great variety - tortilla, bagel, bread muffin egg, salsa, sausage to name a few. Location is not crowded and not too far from Pismo Beach. Rooms were comfy and spacious, premium tv apps like netflix, prime. Beds were comfortable. Walking trails at property with ocean side gazebo, stairs for beach access, nice landscape
