We came to the Pismo Classic Car Show and wanted a place nearby, yet close to the beach and we found it here! The place was a cute true beach home with a little sandy play area for kids if you didn’t want to actually walk a few extra steps to the shore. The beds were so comfortable and we liked the fact that each bdrm had their own. Nell was a terrific host and left us a peach pie upon arrival! She was proactive and very responsive. We had questions about the hot tub and she replied super fast to help. We didn't know it was a shared hot tub, but it was ok because the other house didn’t use it until the last day, which we weren’t going back in anyways. I loved the small kitchen as it was easy to keep clean. The entire house was clean and had everything we needed. We loved the lookout bar upstairs and spent most time there. We watched whales from the barstools while we barbecued and sipped mimosas. The sunset was amazing as that is my favorite part of coming to the beach. The fire pits were also a hit although we didn’t know which one was for our house. But the neighbors were friendly and we just agreed to share and use whatever was not being used by the other house. I can’t wait to book again and book the entire property! We accidentally left the grandbabies swimsuit and Nell kindly mailed it back to is, who does that nowadays?? NELL LANGFORD DOES!

Cozy beach house, appointed with everything you need, lovely host, and best fire pit in the beach!

The upper deck had great ocean views and was a short walk to the beach. The home is centrally located. The house is very homey with lots of charm. We appreciated the excellent communication with the owner

We stayed here as a family with young children and had a mixed experience. Nell was very responsive and kind throughout our stay. She left a pie in the freezer, checked in on us, and had the hot tub cleaned and refilled on our second night, which made it much more enjoyable.A few cleanliness issues caught us off guard upon arrival. The second bathroom did not appear to have been thoroughly cleaned, the upstairs refrigerator needed attention, we found some missed cigarette butts in corners, and we noticed ants during our stay. Nell offered to send someone to clean the bathroom the next morning, but we declined since we arrived late and the kids had already used it.One thing future guests should know is that I wasn't familiar with Oceano. When the wind picks up, sand seems to get everywhere—beds, chairs, floors, and outdoor areas. That's more a characteristic of the location than the property itself, but it was not something I expected.The house seems better suited for groups looking for a beach crash pad near ATV riding, surfing, and nightlife than for families seeking a quiet beach retreat. Its proximity to the main beach entrance makes it convenient but also busy and noisy. On the positive side, it's within walking distance of beach access, ATV rentals, restaurants, and local shops. I can understand the appeal for a different type of traveler, but I wouldn't recommend it for families with young children looking for a comfortable, quiet beach
