Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Shell Beach
We love the beautiful Central Coast region with its magnificient ocean views, sandy beaches, wineries, restaurants and shopping. Shell Beach/Pismo Beach is so relaxing and peaceful. Our neighborhood is on the ocean side of Highway 101 with beautiful homes and friendly neighbors.
Friends and family easily visit our home as we are centrally located between Los Angeles and San Francisco.
The Unique Benefits of this House
Our favorite activities while staying at our Shell Beach home are the long walks around the nearby cliffs and neighborhood with the spectacular beach views, grassy parks, and convenient park benches. Sitting with a glass of wine at sunset or morning coffee as the ocean comes alive with sea otters, seals, and pelicans cruising by are highlights. We also love long walks on sandy Pismo Beach from the pier down to the base of Grand Avenue - where you can still drive your car onto the beach. Wine tasting at the world-class wineries around Paso Robles is great fun followed by a delicious dinner at one of the fabulous restaurants in the area.

Beautiful home in Shell Beach!
Guest: Proud Sister
(Boston, MA)
Date of Stay: 06/12/08
Review Submitted: 06/27/08
We stayed in the Shell Beach house for 1 week (mid-June 2008) and loved it. It was very clean and really nicely decorated. It's location is perfect, on a quiet street where the end of the street is the ocean. There are many beaches nearby in a very short walking distance and that whole area is very nice for jogging along the cliffs. The kitchen was well stocked- we had multiple BBQ dinners and had everything we needed to cook dinner at home. The owner is very helpful and always returned my emails very quickly. She sent us the keys before our stay so we could let ourselves in when we arrived. Also, she returned our deposit very quickly. We felt very lucky to be staying at this beautiful house for the week of my sister's gradution from Cal Poly. We will likely return again when we want to visit the area. The cost was very reasonable, especially for such a beautiful property and area. Thanks again Robbin! Jenny
Owner response:We do our absolute best to keep our special home in great condition and fully stocked for our guests' enjoyment. The Central Coast area is the perfect place to retreat to for relaxation and fun with a special person, family members and friends.

Contentment on Castaic
Guest: Don
(Concord, NH)
Date of Stay: 03/01/11
Review Submitted: 05/23/11
We left Barstow the morning of March 1, after a month in Austin and another month in Sedona during our first year of being snowbirds from New Hampshire, and after breakfast in Bakersfield enjoyed a wonderful drive through the valley and mountains to Shell Beach. As we drove into this lovely little oceanside community, we said, "Wow, we're going to spend a month here!" And we were never disappointed with this best of all worlds: a beautiful seaside bluff to walk to every morning and evening (for the sunsets), a beach where our dog could run with the other dogs in the neighborhood, the mountains to view walking back from the shore, and nifty shops and restaurants on the front road. It was everything Robbin had promised it would be, and we loved her beautiful, clean, well-maintained house on Castaic. And so did our dog Cassady and cat Calli. Cassady especially loved the fenced-in front lawn where he could catch some morning rays while we enjoyed watching the neighborhood wake up during our morning coffee. At Shell Beach, we also enjoyed walking to the library, over to Zorro's for breakfast or dinner outside, to the park, and to various delis. We also highly recommend the farmers' market Thursday evenings in San Luis Obispo, the San Luis pier for seafood, Avila Beach, the food stand and petting farm on the road to Avila, the American Melodrama Theatre in Oceano, the performing arts theater at California Polytechnic, Linn's in Cabria, walking the dog on the beach from Morro Bay to Cayucos, the drive through the vineyards from Paso Robles, and exploring the coastal area from Santa Maria to Hearst Castle. Thank you so much for being such an excellent provider, Robbin. We plan on returning and hope next time to say two months. Your house on Castaic will always be one of our favorite homes away from home.

If you are looking for a three br house close to the beach, then look no further. This house has it all. And the owner is a great landlord. My wife and I stayed there for a week and had a great time. Restaurants were as varied as you could ask for. Great house in a great area - what more could you ask for?

Your place was just perfect for our family birthday celebrations. A little rain on Saturday, but we still had a great time. We had beautiful sunsets at your local park. Thanks for sharing your place with us.

Your Home was Perfect!

Review Submitted: 09/08/10
Your home was so comfortable. There wasn't anything we needed, it was all there. Your place was fully furnished and stocked with every kitchen utensil. The view from the cliffs was breathtaking. We love that we could walk to the nearby restaurants and to the ocean. Your neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. Each room had a ceiling fan which was a real plus on the warm sunny days. The floor plan of the house made it very comfortable. My two grandsons played video games on the TV in the den while we watched the TV in the living room. The house easily accommodated 4 adults and 2 children. We all had enough space to relax. The backyard deck was a great gathering place. Again, we thank you. We will always recommend your beach house. Thank you so much for your vacation rental. We had an amazing time and the house was perfect.

Shell Beach was wonderful!

Our visit in Shell Beach was wonderful! Awesome weather, house worked very well. We slept well, ate well, visited and walked around the charming neighborhood. Enjoyed the coffee roasting place up the way but ate all our meals at the house. A nicely equipped kitchen worked very well. I even roasted a locally grown pumpkin from Oregon and made a pie. Friends of ours driving up from Sherman Oaks to San Francisco stopped by and loved the place for their family. We have rented other places and always been pretty happy, but this worked for our crowd very well. Thanks again for sharing your place!
