The Best Cozy Cottage Core Vibes

The property was out of a story book.Linens and appliances were high quality, location to get Pismo Beach was convenient and views were simply incredible. Our group rented all cottages on property and had such a memorable time. Ingrid was extremely responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. Would come again!

Most wonderful weekend retreat

This property was absolutely PERFECT for my groups weekend retreat. We are a group of kitesurfers who live across California, and we decided to reunite in Pismo to enjoy some lovely ocean kiting. No other place could have hosted us as beautifully as the dune lakes cottages did. The beauty and ample room for us to gather and celebrate our beautiful coast was unmatched! And the cottages themselves were so charming and homey. We would love to make this an annual retreat for us!
