About this property

Enjoy Beautiful Shell Beach/Pismo Beach House in Comfort!

Sparkling single-level, recently-remodeled three bedroom home in the heart of Shell Beach (north Pismo Beach) awaits you. A updated kitchen, appliances & washer/dryer will greet you along with new vanities/mirrors in both bathrooms. Pismo Beach has been named USA Today's Best Coastal Small Town Readers' Choice Award for 2025 along with named one of the best small towns in California by Travel & Leisure Magazine! Pismo Beach is Central California's Classic beach experience. Situated on California’s central coast between San Francisco and Los Angeles, Pismo Beach offers long white sandy beaches, spectacular sunsets and access to numerous area wineries. Visitors can rent rods to fish off the historic Pismo pier or grab a wetsuit to try out surfing, kayaking or body boarding. Acclaimed by Sunset Magazine as one of their ten favorite beaches, readers write 'I love to visit Pismo's Shell Beach at low tide to see hawks, pelicans - and sometimes spot an otter.' Shell Beach is located on the ocean side of Highway 101 within walking distance to the beach and two grassy parks overlooking the gorgeous Central Coast. 'Jagged cliffs add drama at Shell Beach in Pismo, CA' writes Sunset Magazine.

Close to award-winning Central Coast wineries, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Pelican Point, gorgeous Dinosaur Caves park, and sandy Pismo Beach and pier, Shell Beach offers fun activities for all ages. Beautiful hardwood floors and sunny windows & blinds throughout the house showcase black cottage and wicker furniture. The master bedroom offers an eco-friendly mattress and mattress pad for your sleeping comfort. New front yard landscaping with patio & Adirondak chairs are lovely for morning coffee or evening wine lounging. Fenced yard and a spacious deck in the landscaped backyard offers privacy for relaxation or outdoor dining. Black roof, front porch and exterior paint enhance the charm of this location. Central heat with thermostat control keeps you cozy on colder nights.

Our beach home offers a comfortable, relaxed environment for families or a romantic get-away vacation for two at the beach. Well-behaved, quiet dogs and children are always welcome. We have Spectrum wireless high-speed internet and cable TV! Sunset Magazine's July 2009 issue rates Pismo's Shell Beach as one of ten favorite beaches by their readers. 'Away from it all in Pismo. Why I love it: it's 77 steps down the cliffs to this small and uncrowded beach in Pismo. Bring down a great picnic.'

Pismo Beach is a popular spot for visitors where you can lay in the sand, go on a walk along the Pismo Beach Pier, and snap a picture of the giant ‘Pismo Beach’ sign at the pier plaza. There are plenty of facilities at Pismo's public beach including fishing rentals, a kid’s playground, and volleyball courts so everyone can have a great time! When hunger strikes, local popular restaurants are situated just feet from the pier or along Price and Shell Beach Road.

Pismo's expansive beach stretches on for miles, with its soft golden sand that sits against the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean. You’ll find it along the Central Coast. Known for its relaxed vibe and scenic beauty, Pismo State Beach provides the perfect setting for a day of beachcombing. The beach is particularly famous for its sand dollars, which lie hidden amongst the sand, waiting to be discovered by keen-eyed visitors. But Pismo State Beach offers more than just beachcombing. The beach also provides habitats for a variety of wildlife, including sea otters and shorebirds.

Nearby Oceano Dunes is a unique beach that’s unlike anywhere else in California. This is one of the best beaches in Central California where you can enjoy a variety of recreational activities including swimming, camping, fishing, and driving your car onto the shoreline. Pismo Beach is the only place in California that allows you to drive your personal car onto the beach. Many families come here to spend the day playing on the beach and stay to watch the sunset around a sand firepit.

Shell Beach is a hidden little gem tucked away on the Central Coast between Avila and Pismo Beach. This secluded part of the coastline offers picture-perfect scenery along with beautiful grassy parks, shops, and restaurants.

About the host

Hosted by Robbin

Host profile image
We are a family with adult children who love to visit the Central Coast where all of our extended family have permanently relocated.

Why they chose this property

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 halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco.

What makes this property unique

Our favorite activities while staying at our Shell Beach home are the long walks around the nearby cliffs and neighborhoods with 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.
We happily allow well-behaved dogs so those who stay with us without pets please do understand that we do our very best to clean up after our furry friends & we appreciate your understanding.
