Beautiful Few Steps from the Sand

Awesome spot just a minute walk from the beach. The place is pretty large and can fit you all comfortably. Loved sitting out on the balcony and watching the sunset and hanging out by the water. Overall awesome spot

This is a decent home that was clean but needs some TLC. Property manager was great and provided timely communication. The home is right next to the Dunes beach so if you’re looking to take advantage of those activities it will work great for you. It’s not too far of a drive to get to downtown Pismo. The property manager has made some recent upgrades but the property still needs some TLC. The size of the home does make up for those shortcomings.

This property has all the basics you need for a nice beach vacation. We enjoyed our stay and took advantage of the kitchen, patio, and location.

Location is great. Easy access to the beach. Host was responsive. Interior and exterior deck spaces could use some TLC.

Everything was as expected, which is not always the case. Great location, walking distance to Oceano dunes and just 2 miles away from Pismo. Close to store to buy groceries and restaurants. I plan on returning next year

Booked this property to celebrate my birthday. Perfect location for what I had planned. Beach is footsteps away and atv rental locations were right around the corner. Owners communication helped me feel right at home. Will recommend this property to my family and friends.

My family had a nice stay at Oceano. We had a very brief stay at the house. Pros: • Esther was really sweet and was easy to get ahold of. She also remedied any concerns I brought up to her. • There are two refrigerators for all the food we bought. • The available patio by the kitchen is spacious and nice. • Clean up is pretty straightforward and reasonable. • The house was clean upon arrival. • We got to use the washer/dryer and they work well. Cons: • The Vrbo description does not have full details. I got the rest of the details though a contract I received via email a few weeks before the trip. I had to sign the contract and provide personal informations (i.e. driver license, names of people staying, car plate number). I couldn't cancel because I would not get my money back. On the positive side, Esther worked with me and I didn't have to provide the personal information I did not feel comfortable disclosing. • There's only 2 parking spaces. The contract sent via email said 3. There was another small space that would fit a small FIAT so that would be a potential 3rd parking spot. There's also no parking available on the same street. • There were lots of rules written around the house on furnitures/wall, such as not being able to use a drawer or eat on a table. Other Misc notes: • Lock for the key was a bit hard to open. No instructions were given on how to open it. But I'm sure Esther would have answered that if I called. • House has the bare essentials (i.e. towels, sponge, Dish soap). • The patios that are off-limits (for good reasons) looks rundown and unsafe to walk on. Please do not let your children go out there. • The exterior of the house is very rusty compared to all of the houses on the same street.

Can’t beat the location. Yes, as others mentioned, needs some updates and repairs. Besides that, we were pleased with our stay.

I don’t want to be overly negative. This house is In a great location and has a great floor plan. The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms are clean. However, this house is incredibly dirty. The carpet is dirty and the smell reminds me of a gas station bathroom. The house exterior is in need of a good power wash and paint job desperately! One of the outdoor seating area is not safe and is unusable. The other was broken and Miss matched furniture (including folding chairs). There were several pieces of furniture that had signs on them instructing in that they are broken or not to use. There is so much more I could say but like I said in the beginning I don’t wanna be completely negative. It takes no effort to get on Facebook marketplace or let go and buy some furniture that is actually functionable for your guests to use. It is also worth the investment to keep your property well maintained. If you were just looking for a place to crash or to party and this might be your place. But if you’re looking for a place to relax and enjoy this definitely is not it.

This place has potential of being really nice. The exterior is hideous and there are nicks, rust and stains throughout the house. Sizes of rooms are nice as well as the bathrooms. I read some reviews so I was happy to see some of them got fixed like the appliances. There is an ironing board but no iron and the main TV is a little small for the living room area. A fresh coat of paint on the exterior and interior will do wonders for this place. Also leaving a instructions list is helpful with check in and check out. I rated the cleaning poorly because when you walk in there is a refrigerator and there was a pan of cooked meat and an open can of jalapeños. Floors weren’t swept well or mopped are feet were dirty after being there a few hours. The carpet was light so we took off our shoes off at the door. Overall please update house photo it is deceiving and embarrassing when you are taking your parents and they make comments about paying so much for how bad it looks. It’s super cute and has potential just needs to be repainted. I know the weathering is harsh in the area but the houses around do a great job of keeping theirs up.

We were looking to book at beach house last minute for our mother's birthday. We found this beach house and booked online. Everything was so simple to book. Sent out a couple of signatures and received our entry code to the house. We checked in the next day and it was everything as described on the site. House was clean and it is literally steps away from the beach, minutes from the pier and restaurants. We had plenty of room to relax after a long day on the beach. Our whole family enjoyed our stay at the beach house. We will definitely be booking again!

Good stay.

We chose this house because of the proximity to the beach. Beach access at the end of the street that was great! The listing pretty much describes the house and most of the reviews speak the truth minus a few. The outside of the home is very worn, I'm sure a lot has to do with the salt water, thankfully it was pretty clean inside. The house had the bare minimum for guests. There is enough space for 8, but the pull out couch is broke on one corner(my 12yr old was still able to sleep on it) and we were told to bring our own bedding for it. There was a sheet on it, but our thoughts were if there are beds for 8 there should be bedding for all beds, but at least we knew ahead of time. The kitchen has enough to get by, but the toaster didnt work, there was no cookie sheet and there was no kitchen towels or pot holders. There is a dresser in the first bedroom(one with a queen bed) that says you can not use, you can't even set things on top of it because it is broke. That should probably be moved out of there. The bed itself felt like a pull out couch in terms of comfort. The other 3 beds in the rooms were more comfortable. There were no hangers and only access to 1 closet via the master bath. There was a note not use the closet in the 2nd bedroom and the first bedroom didn't have a closet. There wasn't enough bathroom towels for 8 either, luckily we packed extras. We knew ahead of time we wouldnt be able to use the balcony off the living room or the rooftop. It would've been great to see the view up there, but my GUESS was the stairs were not safe. The balcony we could use was large, but the flooring wasn't in the greatest condition. I would recommend taking some pictures when you first arrive of the condition of the home. There was a stain on the carpet in the master bedroom when we arrived, but we didnt take a picture so the owner stated we did it even though it was already there, we had no way to prove it. Now we did get our deposit back because we paid the inital $59 damage waiver covering up to $1500 in damages so this was no extra money out of our pockets for the carpet. It just would've been nice not to be blamed for something we didnt do. Overall if you are just looking for a place on the beach where you can sleep and nothing fancy this house would be great for you. Just make sure you bring extras of everything. As I said this is an excellent location, but very bare minimum is provided.

Everything was clean and comfortable, we loved the big deck. My only complaint is the kitchen, stove is really old and doesn’t work well, same with the coffee maker. Toaster didn’t work at all and very limited pots and pans. Overall nice place, I would stay again, just bring a few extras with me next time

One of the best possible spots to stay in Oceano!

The house was perfect for our family. Close to the beach, comfy and plenty of room. We all had a wonderful time and wish we were still there! Thank you so much for having us.

Our stay was clean and comfy.. The property is a 1 minute walk to the beach. You can also walk to a market, stores, and restaurants. Great views of the Oceano dunes and you can hear the waves crashing on the beach as you enjoy a beverage on the deck.Highly Recommended!

It’s a great home for a family plenty of space.

This was a clean. Comfortable house. I enjoyed it so much

Everything worked well in the house. Super comfy! We really enjoyed our stay! Definitely would get this house again

Esther is so sweet! Communication was excellent!!! The house isn't perfect its an older beach house but clean and just STEPS from the beach. The street has its own beach entrance. It has everything you need for a great little vacation. Our family had a wonderful time and enjoyed our stay, we would definitely rent again.

1. Esther the manager is very nice. 2. Property is very spacious 3. The house exterior and interior is shabby at best. 4. None of the exterior lights work, so at night it is very dk when u come in. The neighbors have security lights that help u see your way up to the door. 5 the house interior needs to be painted, the walls are way beyond scuffed. The carpet in master bedroom is very dirty, never take off your shoes. The stair case carpet is also gross. Downstairs bathrooms, all caulking pulling apart from the tubs and mold and dirt settling in. Downstairs toliet needs a new wax seal. In all fairness when I called the property manager about this, she said she would get it fixed right away. Master shower doors are very loose. Mirror in master bath losing the reflection part and rusting. 6. lots of notes around the house saying do not use, or do not open. 7. The pull out couch is in the kitchen table area and very worn. 8. The house keeping company who cleans this place needs to be fired. No window sills dusted, spider webs on the windows. 9. Outside window screens are torn or missing, hard to get fresh air in the house without letting bugs in 10.There are pluses. 2 refrigerators that are clean, kitchen is dated but clean. Never went out on the wood patio, but it is large. New family room couch is nice. 11. I know this is a beach house and gets hit hard with the sun, water and sand. I rent a beach house every year in this same area along strand way for the past 5 years. While this house is spacious it needs work.

My husband and 12 year old son arrived first as they drove up early to go fishing; they aren't picky at all. They called me right upon arrival stating this place is a "dump". They asked me to bring all our own blankets, towels and pillows as well as paper towels, dish soap and body soap. They did have a small amount of dish soap and hand soap and that was all. During our stay we also had to buy TP as they had 4 small rolls (we had 4 adults and 3 kids for 3 nights). This place does not look like it is maintained; I know reviews aren't great and I saw all the replies stating that it is normal wear and tear from being by the ocean- I have stayed at many other beach houses that are maintained properly. Also- this is more than "steps" to ocean; which wasn't a big deal. The one patio you do have access to doesn't look like the pictures and the view is NOT what you think it will be. There is also a old worn couch and plastic chairs as the patio furniture with 2 gross bbq's (our husbands bought a new one and bbq'd up front as they didn't even want to be on patio). We brought bikes; were not aware you don't get access to garage (small outdoor area out back is where we had to keep bikes). There are notes everywhere with locked closets, not to use dressers, garage etc. Towels had long hairs, tub had black mold (not at all like picture), TP holders were rusted. I could go on and on but will stop there. Please pay attention to reviews, we didn't have many options as it was a later booking and I wish I believed the reviews. Would NOT recommend.

My family had a wonderful, relaxing weekend in a perfect house this weekend!

We were very disappointed with the condition of this property. The upstairs toilet was clogged; three electrical outlets in the kitchen did not work; the refrigerator leaked water; the carpets were stained in several rooms; the walls were scuffed and stained; the track for the vertical blinds was broken; the downstairs lamp was broken; and the general condition of the house was shabby. I attempted to explain this to the property manager who reasoned that she had just painted the property, we got a good deal on it, and I should have reported the problems sooner. She was generally rude and refused to accept anything I told her as the truth. I took pictures of everything mentioned above and will be happy to provide those to your company. Speaking of pictures, nothing on your website matches the current condition of the house. I've stayed at several properties through Vrbo but will probably try someone else next time. I demand to be refunded the amount I paid for this rental. Contact me to discuss further, thank you.

Great location, near beach.

We were so excited to go away with our daughter, son-in-law and our 4 grandchildren. Unfortunately the house was not maintained well at all. The coast does take its toll on homes, but this was ridiculous. The trash was overflowing on the side of the house when we arrived, that explained the army of ants that resided mainly in the kitchen and on the peripheral areas. After cleaning the kitchen, putting the groceries into a refrigerator that has no front to any of the drawers or door shelves, we just decided to make the best of it. But when we came to all the negative notes taped everywhere about not using this or that piece of furniture it was just too much. Then more than half the light bulbs were burned out, broken deck chairs, no cable (screen said to call the provider!), bottom dishwasher rack has no wheels, rancid oil found in cupboard (more ants), says it sleeps 8 but the "roll-out" couch is in the dining room with no room to unfold! The dining room table has unstable legs. No top deck because it's unsafe due to lack of maintenance. There was no welcome or information booklet. This house needs some serious TLC, and major maintenance - it's just the cost of owning a rental property. We have stayed at 10+ beach houses on the coast of California but have never experienced anything like this. Not a true presentation of what you will get with this house. This house should be condemned! Hoping you will print this true review - we would not have rented it if we knew the truth.

We really just needed somewhere to sleep since we knew we where going to be out at the car show in Santa Maria all weekend but it was great. Clean and worked for our group. The property manager is super nice. I thought it was a little odd that a good amount of items had labeles saying do not use, I think if the owner doesn’t want people touching they shouldn’t have it in the property but that’s beside the point. Overall great house would consider renting again for next years trip back south for The Santa Maria Cruise and Car show we love to come down for.

It is very easy to walk down the street to the beach. Can BBQ on the beach and camp fire at night.

Enjoyed our stay, very relaxing. Normally we take our travel trailer and stay at the nearby campgrounds, so it was nice to stay at a house that was equipped with all our needs. We especially like the being able to sit on the patio and enjoy the breeze
