Family Beach Home • Walk to Beach • Downtown • 2-Car Garage
A true family-owned beach home, not a corporate vacation rental.
Welcome to Our Family's Pismo Beach Vacation Home Proudly Owner-Hosted Since 1998
For over 25 years, we've been welcoming guests into our family's beach home. This isn't just a place we rent; it's where our own family comes to relax, celebrate birthdays, enjoy sunsets on the beach, and make memories together. When we're not here, we're honored to share it with families who will love and appreciate it just as much.
Because this is still our family's vacation home, we've furnished it the way we enjoy living at the beach, comfortable, welcoming, and perfect for spending quality time together. Every room has been thoughtfully put together to create the relaxing coastal home. We hope you'll enjoy it in that same spirit and create wonderful memories with your family, just as we have with ours.
If you're looking for a home that feels warm, inviting, and genuinely lived in, not a cookie-cutter vacation rental, we think you'll feel right at home here.

Hosted Personally by the Owners
When you stay with us, you'll always communicate directly with the owners, not a management company or call center.
After many years using a property management company, we found that guests much preferred having direct contact with the owners. We love getting to know our guests, sharing recommendations, answering questions, and helping make your vacation as enjoyable and stress-free as possible.
We also welcome guests to our family condo in Ka'anapali, Maui, Hawaii.

• Check-In: Arrive anytime after 4:00 PM. Your unique code is activated at check-in time, and our secure door system automatically lets us know you've arrived safely—no need to contact us.

Kitchen was stocked well with equipment, specialized items and dishes. There was room in the garage for 2 vehicles. Easy access to the beach and pier area. Condo was clean and well furnished. No complaints, we would definitely recommend and stay again!
There are ALOT of stairs. The beds are good. Needs some updates on the bedroom level. Great location to everything and parking is also great. Kitchen has all the right things for making meals.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen, convenient parking, and our central location close to everything Pismo Beach has to offer.
Our condo is a multi-level home, and we do our best to clearly note the stairs in our listing so guests know what to expect before booking. We also appreciate your comments regarding the bedroom level and are always looking for ways to improve the experience for our guests.
Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future!
Natalie's place was just what we needed for our girls weekend! The accommodations were clean and comfortable. The location was just a few minute walk to the beach/coffee shops, a 5 min drive to hiking, and 20 mins outside of downtown SLO. We appreciated all of the thought that went into this VRBO as it was stocked with everything you could want, including beach chairs and the most adorable cart to carry everything. Would recommend!
Conveniently located, very clean and beautifully decorated. The beds were comfortable, and we had all the amenities that we needed. Our hostess, Natalie, was great at communicating with me and answered all of my questions promptly. The location is great for walking to the downtown and beach. I would highly recommend staying there.
The condo was clean, comfortable, and a great location. We were able to walk to the beach, shops, and restaurants in a matter of minutes. It was really nice to be able to use the garage because parking can be tricky, before 5:00pm, on the weekends.
We had an amazing stay at this home in Pismo Beach! The location truly couldn’t be better, just a short walk to both the beach and downtown, which made everything so convenient and enjoyable. We loved being able to stroll to nearby shops, restaurants, and the ocean without needing to drive.The home itself had absolutely everything we needed and more. It was clean, well stocked, and thoughtfully set up for a comfortable stay. The beds were incredibly comfortable honestly some of the best we’ve slept in while traveling!Everything about our experience was seamless, relaxing, and exactly what we were hoping for. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for the perfect spot in Pismo!
The host was very welcoming and helpful. The condo was very nice and the beds were all comfortable. 1-2 block walk to the beach, pier, shops, restaurants. We would definitely stay here again!
The place was nice and clean. We loved the location. It was so close to the beach and there were so many dining options within a short walking distance. Great communication from the host. Easy check in and check out. This is our second time at this place and we would definitely book again if available on our next trip.
We loved our stay! 4 Women on a Girls Trip. Location is perfect. Property is so clean and Natalie is so easy to work with and communicate with. She was always quick and responsive. Kitchen is well appointed. While we didn't use the beach gear, there is plenty there for your use during your stay. Hope to be back.
We had an amazing experience, super clean and very close to the beach, restaurants and shopping in walking distance. Pismo Pier is close by! Thank you for making our stay memorable!!!
The property is very clean and inviting. We will definitely be staying again as the host is has excellent hospitality and the property is clean, quiet, and close to the beach. Perfect for a family.
We’ve stayed multiple times here and it’s amazing each time. Super clean, easy instructions and the owner communicated extremely well with us! We will be staying her again soon!
Our party of six adults stayed over the long weekend. Location was perfect a short walk to the sandy beach and restaurants. Only negative was Josie from the neighbors and the cars.
Excellent location, walking distance to the Beach, shops and restaurants. Loved the amenities, including beach chairs, rolling tote and great kitchen. We had a lovely stay!

About the host
Hosted by Natalie Arbuckle
We purchased our Pismo Beach condo in 1998 one year after we were married. We have been accommodating guests for over 27 years now! We both fell in love with Pismo when we were kids visiting from the Central Valley. We were lucky enough to make this purchase, have the rental income, and still use it for our family vacations! Our kids were babies playing in the sand, and now they're adults who love coming on their own. There's something for every age here!
Why they chose this property
We wanted to be close to the beach and not having to cross any streets to get there! We can walk to downtown the pier and the restaurants with no worries. Everything is so close!
What makes this property unique
Having a garage to park in! The beach air can make your vehicle wet overnight. You can park when you arrive and not have to use your car until it's time to go home. Plus there are no parking meters on our street, Free Parking!
