The property and area were great. The only issue was that the continental breakfast ran out of food 30 minutes before it closed. Otherwise the experience was great. Thanks

I cannot wait to come back & stay here. You’re in between Pismo & Avila. The grounds are gorgeous & so well maintained. I had an ocean front room & when you looked out you felt like you were on top of the water. The staff was so friendly & accommodating. They have a small continental breakfast which was plenty. I did not use the pool or hot tub but it looked nice. I will definitely stay here again.

Loved the cove and how beautiful it was to be right on the water! It’s like a private oasis. They have so much outdoor seating and so much wildlife around! It was great to be able to run on the sidewalk in the morning and see otters.
