About the host

“Don’t tell me how educated you are, tell me how much you traveled.” – Mohammed
Hi! I'm Divya and I'm originally from India. I moved to the United States a little more than 10 years ago. My husband and I both love to travel and we have been traveling non-stop since I set foot in this country. Our keenness for new cuisines, exploring new cultures, and breathing in varied landscapes keeps us always on the lookout for a new adventure! We are two very responsible individuals who go the extra mile in ensuring our guests are treated with great care and tremendous hospitality. The same goes for any rental properties we rent. We take extra care in ensuring the homes we rent are left the same way we found them, if not better.

Why they chose this property
After spending years exploring the many national parks around the state of California, our love for Pismo Beach began when we decided to visit the Central Coast on a whim! That was the best decision ever and there has been no turning back ever since.
What makes this property unique
Dip your toes in the sand and soak in the scenic views of the stunning Shell Beach, a stone's throw away from the cottage. Take a short walk with your kids to the popular Dinosaur Caves Park. Explore fine arts and great local food at the many eateries and shops at Pismo. Visit wine countries - Edna and Paso Robles for an exquisite experience and taste locally produced award-winning wines.
