195 Main

"Positives about property include 2 car garage (parking is difficult to find here), location near beach, pier, restaurants, shops, etc. and check in process.
We rented this location because the of amount of people staying and it stated it had a sofa bed (when we arrive, there is no sofa bed, it's a blow-up mattress). Due to the small rooms in this unit, it's hard to find a spot for the mattress. Add on the aggravation of inflating it at night and deflating in the morning (or walking around it). Was very upset that Management Company and/or VRBO wouldn't help us with this inconvenience. The location is older (inside and out), and kitchen/living room is very small. If you don't want to be "in the middle" of everything, you won't like it. People are around late at night and early in the morning. "

"Great location- right at the base of the pier. Easy walk to restaurants, beach etc. nice views. Clean/comfortable place. Garage is nice as well as parking is not easy in the area "

"Overall, a very good experience. Location was superb. The unit itself was in good condition - looked fairly recently updated. Bedrooms very comfortable and spacious, but could have used a couple of side chairs. Master bath had a deep jetted tub, a nice bonus. Only the main living area/kitchen was a little small - no room for a dining table and only a high wall-mounted small TV. This got tiring after a while. Space was functional, however, and the views from the many windows were great"

"We arrived on Saturday and that night the 2nd bathroom’s tub/shower faucet was broken. I called the office and they got back to me Sunday morning saying they would try to get someone to repair it but since it was Sunday no one was available. So another night of all 5 of us having to use one shower. The property management were very apologetic and had a plumber there Monday morning. The location was perfect being a block from downtown and the beach was half a block to the beach. We could see the ocean and pier. It wasn’t noisy even though it’s right on the street. If you’re short bring a step stool for the tall kitchen cabinets. The kitchen is small but well stocked. There’s only a counter with barstools but it worked okay for the 5 of us. The beds we’re comfortable. Having a two car garage was a bonus since parking near the beach and downtown was so convenient. This unit is upstairs which gives you the great view. "

"If I make this review to good, everyone will want to stay here and I won't be able to reserve it. OK, truth is, its a great location and very nice inside. The rental company was great to work with. This was our first time using Coastal Vacation rental. I have seen them around Pismo before and decided to try them out. Great to work with. There is probably no other property this close to the beach. Two car garage was nice. I was concerned my Tundra wouldn't fit. It was tight but we made it. Would definitely reserve this again. "

"We had a blast staying so close to surfing!"

"Perfect location, the house is beautiful and has everything you can think of. Close to the beach and shops...would definitely recommend and stay here again. "

"The property has a good location the condo was clean it had a few maintenance issues nothing major we had exellent customer service"

"The location of the unit was fantastic. Our unit sat over the top of a retail business and we had a garage, however it’s needs some TLC! The tile shelf in the master shower was shattered, there are some wood floor planks coming apart and the bedding is very worn. "

"The condo had everything you would need to feel like home. There were a few things that could have been nicer, such as a rip in the bottom of the screen door, window in the master that was off, and the patio glass was hard to see through. My daughter cleaned the glass in the patio and we left it better than we left it. I still havent got the 500 deposit back and waiting for that. Over all it was a great vacation rental."

"Close to the beach, clean, well equipped. We've stayed here multiple times due to the short walk to the beach, pier, and restaurants and it's great to have a parking space. If you've never been to Pismo, parking is at a premium. Also, love there's no crossing busy streets to get to the beach. Great for the kids."

"The location was perfect for our family. From the living room and balcony I could watch my older kids play while I was at the house with the two littles. This house has tile stairs that would have been hard for my husband if he had gone so it would have been nice to know about them before the trip. I did appreciate that they were outside the locked door so I didn't have to worry about my littles getting hurt on then. If I could change anything about the place I'd put a child lock on the knife drawer or move them to a higher location. The kitchen cabinets where the plates and cups are, are very high. A folding step stool in the house would have been nice. We have an oversized vehicle so we weren't able to park in the garage which meant we had to park around the block after loading and unloading our luggage. It wasn't a huge inconvenience since most things are in walking distance anyways but it would be nice to have the option to park out on the street for longer than 3 hours. "

"Everything was within walking distance"

"We had a good time relaxing rental agency took care of all are needs"

"We had a great time during spring break 2022 at this property. It was as advertised and the location was wonderful. "

"Clean, well maintained property within steps from the beach. Everything was in working order and the house was clean and well appointed. "

"Overall had a great time. The sliding doors and the balcony windows need to be cleaned for the 5 star experience. Or at least where the windex is available so the renter can make it right. "

"This house has everything from the perfect location,beautiful view and most importantly it's walking distance to all restaurants,activities, stores and beach"

"From online reservation through check out, wonderful experience with property management company. Super nice and helpful staff!
The condo is in an excellent location. Ocean view from LR/DR and balcony. Easy walk to sand, the pier, restaurants and shopping. Everything you need is really within walking distance minus a major grocery store. But there is a local market that has the essentials three minutes away. Would definitely stay here again"

"We had a great time during my Spring Break from work! The location, view and rental property were wonderful-just what we all needed after a stressful covid school year! We will certainly be back!!"

"This property has a perfect location in Pismo Beach, Ca. Restaurants, bars and shopping are all within walking distance. One of the biggest advantages of this property is the on-site parking."

"Very Nice. Close to Everything. We will rent again. "

"The rental felt very safe, and I felt right at home. "

"This two bed two bath condo was the perfect size. It was comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. We were by the beach , able to enjoy the balcony views without concern of neighbors. A true getaway. We will be back. "

"My family has stayed at this property several times. The reasons why this review isn't an all around 5 star review is for the following reasons: 1) The place was not clean. There was spider webs on wall decor and hanging from the ceiling. Dusty vents, windows and blinds. There was alsdead insects in the window sills and tracks. The BEST thing about this property is the view and it is difficult to enjoy with the dirty, water stained glass balcony windows. EVERY time we stay at this property we've asked for the patio windows to be cleaned and they are always dirty. This time there were nice low patio chairs but the debris, sand and water stains on the light blue patio glass is so dirty, you can't even enjoy the view. It doesn't need a professional window cleaning. Just some routine TLC, a good cleaning solution and some good elbow grease. We tried cleaning them with some soap and water but it needs something stronger. Also, the dishes were dirty and had food crusted on them. We had to load the dishwasher with all dishes/utensils before using. 2) The living room decor and furniture has met its useful life. The couch and recliner are dingy and gross with visible stains, especially on arms. There isn't a dining table. There's an uncomfortable metal bench for additional seating. 3) There's always a problem with the WiFi router. This time the office was quick to send someone to fix but didn't have internet for a few days. 4) This time the TV worked but the multiple remotes are very difficult and confusing to use. Also, the TV screen is way too small for that space. I will say that the management company is quick to respond to things. The bbq grill wasn't working, they gave us a heads up and they promptly replaced. Tip: Bring ear plugs because you can hear lots of street noise from the master bedroom. You can't beat the central location of this place and the view. With a good, thorough, consistent cleaning and furniture upgrades, it'll shine. "

"Great location everything was walking distance. Great family beach hang out. "

"This apartment is unique in it's perfect location at the beach, very near the Pismo Boardwalk, Pismo Pier, and Pismo Beach. So many lovely restaurants are in walking distance of minutes. The apartment has two bed rooms, and two bathrooms, plus a garage; it overlooks the beach, pier and boardwalk. It was beyond our expectations, clean, well appointed, well managed, well equiped. We considered ourselves lucky to have rented it."

"We loved the house! There was a little mold in shower(it's to be expected, you are on the beach and it's very moist) and the ac didn't work that well, but I loved the view and it was the perfect place for a quick getaway. We would definitely rent it again and would recommend it to a friend. Ken was wonderful with setting it up last minute. "

Response from Coastal Vacation Rentals: Unfortunately, we do have a constant battle with mold in showers that close to the oceanfront. We have instructed housekeeping to be more vigilant about keeping it at bay. Most of the properties here on the central coast do not have air conditioning, we must rely on an ocean breeze to cool us down!

"Great place at a beautiful beach with views! Half a block from the beach and 1 block to town...perfect!"

"a couple of snafus upon check in but staff was quickly accommodating and i thoroughly enjoyed my weeks stay."

"We stayed for 3 nights over spring break. Very happy with location and cleanliness. Luxury with the feeling of being home. Thank you!"

"Overall was great except linens are old needs to be replace! Dining chairs suppose to be 6 instead of 3.
Highly recommended"

"The location it's great! The view from the living room was great. The house is not facing the beach, but from the balcony and from inside the house we were able to see the beach while resting after we arrived. The inside of the house provide us with a very relaxing set up. The main bathroom was more than we expected with a jacuzzi bathtub."

"This place is awesome!!!!!! I loved it. It's steps from the beach, Harry's and Splash, what more can you ask for?? The condo was really clean. Staff was very friendly. I'll stay here plenty of times to come."

"Spent a long weekend with 2 couples in this darling little "tree house". Beautiful views from the living room and the wrap around porch on this 2nd floor unit that was just steps from the beach. Everything we needed was at our fingertips and it was a 1/2 block from town full of resturaunt a, entertainment and shops. Definitely plan to rent this unit again in the future!"

"WE HAD A WONDERFUL FAMILY THANKSGIVING ON THE BEACH. THE CONDO IS LOCATED IN A GREAT LOCATION CLOSE TO EVERYTHING. IT'S ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO STAY THERE. IT WOULD BE NICE TO OFFER FREQUENT GUEST SPECIALS FOR THOSE OF US THAT STAY MULTIPLE TIMES FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME AND HAVE THE CONDO SO CLEAN THAT THE CLEANING CREW DOESN'T HAVE MUCH TO CLEAN. WE WILL BE BACK FOR ANOTHER 31 DAYS IN MARCH-APRIL 2015..MERRY CHRISTMAS HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL :) THANKS FOR A GREAT STAY AT 195 MAIN ST., PISMO BEACH, CA. KRISTYN AND FAMILY"

"very good"

"Great"

"Definitely will be staying here again. Great location & the view is amazing. Check in & check out couldn't have been any easier. I was really impressed on how the house looked exactly like the pictures. Over all great experience with this rental company & the house."

"Great location with view."

"if you love people and don't mind human and vehicle traffic this condo is a must stay. conveniently located to the pier and all pismo dining you can remain parked in the condo's garage and wander. the only downside to my stay is that i don't own and live in the property year round. needs minor upgrades on linens and blinds but in a gr4and scheme... who cares. i will be back."

"It was a very nice rental."

"Grand kids love location, however condo's behind property need to be more respectful in regards to their maintenance men and noise levels of workers on site."

"I spent a month at this property and the experience was delightful. When there was a small problem, (garage door opener)the property management sent a professional out right away. The property is very comfortable and extremely close to all dining and shopping. The views from the property are breath taking. Being alone, I felt very safe due to being upstairs and having several deadbolt locks. There are a few places on the walls that need to be repainted. The bed linens could definitely be up-graded. The property is very well stocked with all kitchen utensils you need and the kitchen appliances are top line. The property management team was very helpful from the beginning of the contract to check-out. "

"Grat location great location"

"Overall, had a fabulous time. Enjoyed walking everywhere and having two car parking garage."

"A great location close to everything. Fun to people watch from the outdoor balcony. Or fire up a bbq on the sidewalk below and strike up conversations with the endless flow of people walking to and from the beach. "

"Even though I was on a work trip to CA, I realy enjoyed my stay at 195 Main. You could not ask for a better location in Pismo Beach. Oh, did I mention the view? Awesome"

"I've rented properties from New York to the West Coast and never payed a Booking Fee. This is paid by the property owner, which I assume you also collect. The two week hold on the Security Deposit is excessive. But it was a nice place. "

"Been staying here for several years. Great location close to pier and surf fishing and dunes. Nice big garage to safely store atv's."

"A little more attention to this unit would make it very pleasant. One major drawback, the master bedroom is right on the street it's VERY noisy in the am."

"Perfect place to go back and forth from the beach. Always a parking spot with the garage (nice storage for beach chairs/coolers). Easy walk to nearby restaurants. You do have to walk a flight of stairs to get to main entrance. And everytime you leave. I consider it a little exercise. But reconsider if you have a condition that would be aggravated by the stairs. I loved being on the second story, people couldn't look directly in."

"Second year staying here. Will be back again next year. Great property and location."

"Beautiful ~ fabulous view ~ conveniently located ~ there was only one problem .......... we had to leave !! Can't wait to stay here again !"

"One block from everything -- less than that to the beach. Kids had a blast fishing from the pier which is just over a block away, and you have a perfect view of it from the property. If you have a pair of binoculars, you can see if the fish are biting. Had an open trailer (19ft over all length) with 6 atv's. It was a very pleasant surprise that the entire trailer fit in the garage, so I did not have to load and unload them each time we went to the dunes. There is a garden hose next to the garage which was handy for washing the sand off of everything. Property is in great condition and very comfortable. No complaints. A great place for us."
