About this property

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.

• Pismo Beach Getaway – Steps from the Sand!

• Pismo Beach was voted California's Best Beach!

• Spacious tri-level family beach home with room for everyone.

• Just steps to the beach and Pismo Pier—NO streets to cross!

• Private 2-Car Garage (a rare convenience in downtown Pismo Beach!)

• Keyless Entry lets you arrive anytime after check-in.

185 Ocean View Ave.

* Thank you to Jones Around The World for naming our home the #1 Best Pismo Beach Family Vacation Rental!

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.

• Easy Keyless Check-In & Check-Out

• Every reservation receives its own private door code that works only during your stay.

• 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.

• Check-Out: When you're ready to depart, simply enter the provided departure code. This notifies us that you've checked out, and your access code automatically expires at 11:00 AM.

• Sleeping Arrangements

Sleeps up to 6 Adults

• Master Bedroom — King Bed

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!

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!

About the host

Hosted by Natalie Arbuckle

Host profile image
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!
