A very good place to stay to enjoy Pismo Beach, convenient for the main shops and restaurants but far enough away to be quiet. One flaw was no coat hangers to hang clothes!

Perfect beachside stay with great views.

Fantastic location with safe parking and easy access to stores, gas stations, fast food restaurants, and the freeway. It’s just a couple of miles from the Pismo Pier, with plenty of beach access points nearby. I highly recommend Blast & Brew for great food and excellent service. Tides In treats you like family, making check-in and check-out a breeze. The rooms are clean, spacious, and equipped with a fridge and coffee maker. Plus, the big-screen TVs make it easy to unwind after a day at the beach. The property is just steps from the sand, offering incredible views and breathtaking sunsets. There are comfortable seating areas to relax, play cornhole, or simply people-watch. It’s also just a short drive to Avila Beach, adding even more to explore. Overall, The Tides Ocean View Inn & Cottages was the perfect getaway—well worth the time and money. I’ll definitely be staying here again.
