"Great location. Could use TLC. Some items needed update. Have used this property for 10 years. Will definitely again."

"The home was located in walking distance from beach, pier, restaurants and shopping. The parking was awesome and could accommodate four (4) vehicles if needed. The home was clean and comfortable although two of the bedrooms a little small but six (6) of us stayed comfortably and the 3 bathrooms nice. The refrigerator took a few hours to cool down but then worked well."

"It was great. Everything was clean, warm and functional. There was plenty of space for everyone! "

"Had a wonderful time. Location was great. Nice wide driveway to accommodate multiple cars since parking is a premium."

"We were in the heart of Pismo beach to feel and enjoy the vibe of our favorite beach town. The home is big and centrally located with quick access to coffee, food and the beach"

"Great location ! Everything is within walking distance. Plenty of space inside as well. "

"The home was in a great location to walk to the beach and shops. It was easy check in and out. The granny suite in the back yard had a strong Oder of bleach with mildew smell, spiders and the shower in it was full of spiderwebs. We couldn’t get the WI-FI to work. the kitchen was a great size for our group of 8 adults. House was clean. We all slept good. Would recommend this home for the location. We called about the wi-fi and had quick response. "

"Really good communication from the start, it was our second time staying here and same positive experience as last type. Great location for the beach and really good community space for those staying in the rental. Thank you again Phil"

"The house was very spacious and clean. Walking distance from shopping, a bowling alley and a pool hall plus plenty of places to eat.
Would definitely use this place again."

"Good place to stay. Very convenient to most things. Street parking is a premium so the large driveway was a big plus."

"Perfect spot, so close to the beach and plenty of room. The grill was great for burgers and dogs. Everyone slept comfortable and great off street parking."

"This was our 3rd visit here at this home. Overall we love the home and location. There were a few tiny issues that I notified the rental company of when checking out."

"The property was perfect for our group and the location was unbeatable. We were able to walk to everything. The management company was very prompt and professional."

"We really enjoyed ourselves, the house was perfect for our needs and close to everything."

"House was great. Guest house needs some work. Light in end table wobbly,lamp cannot be plugged in card to short to reach plug. Sheets torn. Drain in master slow. Kitchen well stocked.
Had a great visit will rent again maybe in January 2022"

"We had a great stay. The house was clean and is in a great location. "

"We all had such a great time during our stay. Everything went well. The house was clean, neat, and so close to everything. We especially enjoyed the short stroll to the beach. From running on the beach to surfing, to hiking. Pismo Beach has so much to offer. "

"Location was fantastic, and the fact that the home and decor is outdated was to be expected based on the listing photos. What wasn't expected was the presence of a rodent. We found droppings under the bed in the room with two twins, and actually saw a mouse (or rat?) scurrying on the floor in the back unit. Other than that experience, we found the experience pleasant. "

"Great family friendly home with lots of room . The only thing that would have made it better would be more seeting in the living room . Overall great rental. "

"Open floor plan for family gathering with beds for 8."

"Staying for 30 days is wonderful, if you have the time to be away from your daily routine. "

"Well , we were upgraded to 341 Hinds and it worked out so well for our family. Thank you so always your staff made our vacation even better. We look forward to renting from you again.Merry Christmas Mike and Kim Bethell and family "

"We had an excellent stay. Everything from the booking process on was great. The house is in an excellent location, the living area was perfect for our Thanksgiving gathering and the back patio was an extra bonus. The kitchen was well stocked which made our Thanksgiving prep much easier. Definitely will be renting this property again. "

"Third time to stay at this property. Will probably stay again next year. Centrally located. Driveway holds 4 cars. Within walking distance of most everything except major groceries.
In general, appearance at first glance looks very tidy and clean. However, when you stay in one place for 30 days you see things that need to be fixed or payed a little more attention to. Front yard is fenced in so our little people could have fun without a worry of them getting in the street. "

"The house we rented was magnificent!!! A beautiful house, spotless, very comfortable, the very best location. We were so comfortable, we could of stayed another week. We most definitely will try to get that house again. We all loved it!!!"

"Prime location for enjoying the sights and sounds of Pismo. Home was clean and spacious. Loved the covered patio in the back for its privacy. The picture doesn't show the fenced yard in the front. Would be good for the kids to safely play."

"Our stay was good however we didn't know that the peir ect was unavailable and the bike rentals changed there rules and the kids couldn't ride without an adult unless they were 18. Weather was great and all had a good time ."

"Loved the location. Everything was within walking distance. "

"Excellent house for a family gathering near the beach and downtown area."

"This is a very convenient location. With a family member having to use an electric scooter, the location was perfect for him to travel to activities. Driveway accommodates 4 cars. There was a plumbing issue but it was addressed immediately and hopefully next year when we return it will be completely new. Definitely will recommend to friends and family. "

"A great location in the heart of Pismo Beach. Very charming, spacious, and within walking distance to virtually anything!"

"I would definitely give my experience with Coastal Vacation Rentals and the property a 5 Star rating based on a 1-5 point system. From my first phone call, as a novice, I had a ton of questions and they were cheerfully. The property was amazing. So clean and it appears to have been updated recently. Stocked with all basic necessities, as well. TV in all bedrooms as well as living room. Nice furniture, not beat up, or cast off furniture but comfortable couch & recliner in living room. There were only 2 things that come to mind that I wasn't happy with were: No water pressure in the back cottage and the fridge didn't cool down very well. Absolutely a perfect location for walking to the beach, sightseeing by foot and for dining. I loved everything about our trip and definitely, when we return, I would do it all the same and stay at the Dolliver home. A big Thank You to Coastal. "

"We used the space to house four families who were attending a wedding in Arroyo Grande. It provided us the opportunity to bring multiple people together, the space in the front yard was amazing to relax and the location in comparison to the beach was perfect. Appreciated the back access to the room in the garage, the covered backyard, and the room in the back. We have decided that this is our vacation home for Pismo, hopefully it is always available when we need it. "

"Nice bungalow with a guest house in the back. No view of the ocean but just two blocks away. Fun to watch the people walk by and be close enough to walk to everything. Big kitchen and dining area made the house feel bigger than it is. "

"Great vacation! Loved being within walking distance to downtown and beach."

"Our family stayed 5 nights in this beautiful home in downtown Pismo. The only negative was the back house smelled musty. All the beds are Queen sized, and all squeaked loudly."

"Our rental house was perfect for our needs. A great open gathering area in kitchen/living room and a nice outdoor space in back, as well. Only complaint was that shower in separate cottage had low water pressure and the temperature fluctuated for no identifiable reason. Other showers were fine. "

"Absolutely great house and experience. Large living area - living room and kitchen/dining area. Great little patio in the back for meals and games. Inside very well furnished. Close enough to the beach. Nice to have driveway parking that can accommodate 4 vehicles. Only issue that we had was that the refrigerator wasn't working well when we got there. These things happen - the upside was that Coastal (and the owners) jumped on it quickly, tried once to fix it, and when that didn't work, they immediately had a new one brought in. Moral of the story is that these are also great people to rent from. Potential renters should know that the tradeoff for a great house and location is that the traffic noise can be bothersome for some people. didn't bother us and the house is air-conditioned in case you are bothered. All and all a great base for a wonderful vacation experience."

"Good location since the rest of our families staying at the campground. We walked to be with them & vice versa. Amenities are perfect for our needs."

"The rental unit was well equipped and located to the center of Town and made our vacation very enjoyable"

"The place accommodated 2 close families perfectly (8 people) with one of the couch. I was a little leery of booking the place because the website lacked more pictures. But, glad I took the chance. It is located two blocks from the beach and everything in town. No need to drive and plenty of parking. We did have two minor problems but called the property management and they took care of it immediately. "

"An enjoyable and relaxing vacation."

"We had a great time. We enjoyed walking to the beach and pier and downtown. Perfect location. The patio worked out great for dinner with our large family. Kids loved it and want to go back soon. We will return. Carpets could be cleaner though."

"This is at least the fourth straight year we've stayed at this property. Perfect for an all adult family. Close to the beach, terrific accommodations."

"This is a wonderful house for a great beach vacation getaway. We comfortably fit 6 adults and four small children in this house/ back house. It is only one block from the beach and downtown. We are already planning on staying at this house again next year. The house was clean but the rugs and carpets could definitely use a cleaning."

Response from Coastal Vacation Rentals: I am so sorry about the carpets, it is almost impossible to clean between check-ins, as we have only a 4nk uo window. We are looking for a dry cleaner, so far none in our area. We are so pleased that other than that you enjoyed the house. Thank you for your comments.

"As always, this location provides a great vacation experience. Our third year at this property and certainly intend to return. Works very well for four couples. Close to the beach and to the downtown area; perfect for walking and parking is provided. Owner and management are very responsive and committed to meeting guest needs."

"I've always used Coastal Vacation Rental ever since. The office receptionist are very helpful. There's a lot of choices to rent, small & big ones. Only negative I have is the garbage can, it was not picked up (Mon) so stayed on the street. We did not have any garbage cans to dump our own. We placed it on the side of the house in plastic bags."

"This property worked very well for our family, eight stayed there and three were in Grover Beach. Very central location and the driveway parking was great."

"Generally, this is a great location and property, especially for larger groups (we had eight adults).

We love the location and proximity to town and beach.
Everything was clean and supplies were ample for the group.
Love the air conditioning this year. All appliances worked.

A few problems which could easily be fixed by a handy man on an afternoon. Our only complaint is that we encountered many of these issues last year, notified the management company about them, and still found them a year later.

1. Bathtub glass doors are hanging by only the top tracking wheels. It’s a serious accident waiting to happen. Bottom of glass doors should be secured in a double track.
2. Bathtub has no stopper/plug.
3. Patio light over the back door still doesn’t work. (same as last year). Needs a bulb?
4. Pocket door in “master bath”, if all the way in, doesn’t come out. Needed a tool to close and has a scraping sound upon opening.
5. “Master bath” sink stopper is broken. Had to prop it up to keep it open.
6. Cottage bedroom chest-of-drawers are missing pulls.
7. Stove top glass/ceramic is still broken from last year.

"The property was better, newer, cleaner than I expected. The floor plan was nice for my group of 8 because of the open kitchen and living room setup. "

"Grandpa,Grandma, TWO SONS,1 DAUGHTER-INLAW, 2 GRANDCHILDREN, ALL MET FOR FUN,FOOD CATCHING UP. fUN TIME HAD BY ALL. hOUSE PERFECT FOR NEEDS, lOVED THE NEW FIREPLACE."

"This house was exactly what we were looking for in a vacation rental. It was so close to the beach and all the shops we never had to drive. The 4 bedrooms was the right amount we needed, fully furnished and with a TV in every room. I would definitely stay at this house again. "

"On arrival, garbage cans were full; there were a few maintenance issues reported to the management company and hopefully will be addressed eventually. Overall, really enjoyed the property. Have been visiting the area for over 10 years and this was one
of the best properties we've rented"

"This house is a keeper!"

"The heater is a joke. It works, but does not produce enough heat."

"We had a great time at the house. Just a couple blocks from the beach and near shops and food!!!.
Minor repairs needed when we checked in. One of the blinds in the L/R was broken and the studio in the back smelled....musky. We opened the windows and doors and it was better. Chaulk or some type of sealant is needed between the toilet and flooring. The would probably help remove the smell.

Great House Great Location Great Fun!!!"

"We had a great time in Pismo. We hosted a family reunion and had company a lot and the house was open and had plenty of room. Also the yard was great and the patio too. I would go back tomorrow!"
