10 Picturesque Airbnb Rentals in Pismo Beach on the Water

North and South, Hollywood and Silicon Valley, California means different things to different people. All are true, thanks to the impressive size of the state. Central California, often overlooked compared to its neighbors on both sides, offers a taste of both types of California. Pismo Beach, halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, really is the best of both worlds.

The 22-mile sandbar that is Pismo Beach and its associated surf culture is reminiscent of the South, while the rocky bluffs, bluffs, and plentiful vineyards are a clear sign that you’re no longer in SoCal. Pismo beach is a short distance from San Luis Obispo and several excellent state parks. He even has his own quirky green spot to Dinosaur Caves Park as well as a host of excellent restaurants.

Whether you are planning a road trip or just hang out on the water, Pismo Beach is a fantastic place for your next vacation. Whatever your plans, spending time on the ocean is definitely a priority. For this reason, here are some beautiful Airbnbs in Pismo Beach. All have ocean views and are near (or on) the shore.

Cute bohemian cottage on the coast


Rent now$118/mo per night

In Pismo Bay, sea salt and the scents of wine combine to create an aroma of pure romance. Nowhere is the effect stronger than at this popular cottage half a block from the ocean. The furniture is bright and welcoming, the works of art perfectly complementary. The bed features a Tempurpedic mattress, a plush headboard and a large drapery – the kind of thing any couple will appreciate. There’s also a fold-out sofa in the living room so the house can sleep four, but that number could spoil the charms, depending on what you’re looking for. Other charming mid-century pieces can be found in the backyard, a fenced-in garden with a lounge chair, a regular ocean breeze, and more.

Beachfront condo near the pier


Rent now$399/avg per night

With the sand at your feet and the wind in your hair, it would be hard not to fall in love with the West Coast lifestyle while spending a few free hours (or weeks) at this Pismo Beach condo. No bland replicated rental unit, this is a true home away from home. The floral, marine, and alpine motifs painted on the wall are all cheesy-looking. Both bedrooms offer lovely ocean views, and even couch sleepers will appreciate the atmosphere. The kitchen is large, the pier nearby, and the ocean is calling. What are you waiting for?
