Pismo Beach, California: Surf Town Close to Wine Country

Pismo Beach is a small city with the recipe for California-coast appeal: sun, sand, surf, and a backdrop of hills overlooking a valley of vineyards. Weather is key to the beach culture here; Pismo Beach enjoys 315 days of sunshine each year and temperatures ranging from 66 to 84 degrees. Year-round, surfers descend on the 23-mile coast along with vacationers looking to get tans. Visitors explore isolated dunes on the southern end of town and fish off the central pier.

The warm weather and misty mornings of this coastal stretch also provide great conditions for winemaking in the nearby Edna Valley. With one of California’s longest growing seasons, the Edna Valley AVA has some of the region’s best wineries, producing large quantities of chardonnay, pinot noir, and syrah.

It was quiet and a perfect location on the cliffs with access to two other hotels and a pretty secluded beach. The front desk staff were extremely helpful and kind.

Had a blast walking along the bluffs and hanging at the pool. Super cool shops etc. nearby. The best part was Lily at the reception desk. Brought a smile to our faces and made our trip. She needs a raise!

Lovely Place and Location Loved the Private Bedroom and Terrific View! Refrigerator, coffee machine, two large screen televisions. Parked right next to my room. Staff very friendly. complimentary fruit in the office. The only thing that bothered me was that the original Spyglass Restaurant is now been closed since November.

Accessible ocean front stay Beautiful gardens and good outdoor accessible paths to see cliffs and ocean. Gas Fireplaces outside a plus. No elevator, many rooms without ocean view. Paths lead to other views, hotels and dining options. Room large and comfortable, clean hot tub.

Great location - but that's it. The rooms lacked functionality despite being spacious and offering scenic views. There were not enough hooks for towels or places to store clothing. Drawer space was minimal, the closet had very few hangers, and some of the furniture was noticeably worn. Screens were broken, and we even found sticky, chewy substances on the ceiling and curtains—definitely not what you’d expect at this price point. Be aware that there is no housekeeping during your stay, no breakfast included, and parking now incurs an additional fee (as of January). While basic WiFi is free, you’ll need to pay extra for faster service. Even the bottled water in the room is $5, and a basic s’mores kit runs $15. Considering the already higher nightly rates compared to similar properties, it really starts to feel like you’re being nickel-and-dimed. To top it off, we started receiving check-out reminders every 15 minutes beginning at 9:00 am—even though check-out isn’t until 11:00. This felt intrusive and unwelcoming. While the property is part of the Pacifica Hotels Group, the overall guest experience and service level didn’t align with our expectations based on stays at other Pacifica properties. Unfortunately, our stay was also disrupted by loud, partying guests, which impacted our ability to relax.
