I used the rental as a home base to explore the area for a month. In that time, I had a church staff there, then my family and a couple of friends here or there. This provided ample space in every bedroom for different configurations. Every bedroom has a balcony or great view.
The owners were very nice and, outside of check-in or check-out, we didn’t communicate in-between, as there was little need. The kitchen had a lot of useful dishes and appliances. It was nice being away from the bustle of downtown Pismo while being close to the shopping centers. We cooked at the house often. The sunroom was great extra space for kids who were getting annoyed by the others, or for my workout room (which I brought up with me).
The beds were very comfortable and all the bathrooms are quite large. The views were great. I was hoping to have some access to a garage or storage because we had a lot of outside/beach items but that was not possible. So not a big deal but I assumed it might be before I arrived.
The house is .5 miles from a great park with basketball, volleyball and kids playgrounds. My kids walked there most days of the week. But the hill there is big, so it’s not an easy walk for those out of shape.
About 1/2 mile away is a walkway down to a forest called the James Way trail. I was able to jog there in the mornings. It’s about a 2 miles jog through a forest once you arrive. It is very nice and can be accessed via a pathway from this neighborhood. The beach is a very quick 5 min drive up the freeway. The house sits on a hill with almost no obstruction looking toward the Pismo cove. It’s not easy to see the ocean because of the haze, but the view is still very nice.
One suggestion: different couches in the main living room/tv area. All the others were comfortable, except the main one we used in front of the tv. It was not comfortable to sit on or lay on.
Other then that: they supply a nice assortment of blankets and sheets and towels. You will have what you need there. We would definitely stay here again.
