"Comfort by the Sea."

Our first visit to Pismo Beach we chose the Cottage Inn. We're not fans of modern sterile hotels and we found Cottage Inn hospitable and comfortable. It felt like our own cottage. Highly recommend reserving a room on the bluff so you can sit by the fire pits and enjoy the sunset with a local Edna Valley wine. Also, take a trip up to Morro Bay for lunch. Enjoy!
