About this property

5 MINUTE Walk to Beach! 4 br 2 bath Gorgeous Private CLASSIC California Bungalow

(Note Vrbo maps is wrong -- this home is just a 2-minute drive from the beach) JUST A 5-MINUTE WALK TO THE BEACH! Relax in this gorgeous, updated 1935 California beach bungalow. New paint, flooring and beachy decor throughout. A large backyard with tons of seating, as well as a huge outdoor deck, sun-room, and sunny dining room. Quiet neighborhood but a very short walk to excellent restaurants of all types. Two large nearby groceries. You'll have the entire house to yourselves -- 4 bedrooms with closets, 2 full baths, full kitchen, living room, extra rec room, washer/dryer, barbeque grill – even Foosball! Fully stocked with kitchen supplies & linens. Plenty of on-site parking. We even provide free snacks! Ideal for families or friends.

When you rent a vacation home you often only deal with a large property management company. They’re typically available only Monday to Friday, 9 to 5. And even if you reach them during office hours it can take days to solve an issue – usually after you’ve checked out. And you often have to check in, fill out paperwork and get keys at their office, which can be miles away.

Our names are Melany & Jon and we own and manage this home ourselves. We’ve lived here for 30 years – California’s Central Coast is heaven on Earth to us! Your key will be waiting for you at the house in a lock-box. We live 5 minutes from the property and are available to help 24/7. You’ll have our personal cell number -- call or text ANYTIME! We’ll deal with any issue immediately. We are familiar with all the local shopping, activities, and restaurants (honestly we eat out too much). We’d LOVE to recommend places and activities to make your stay absolutely amazing!!

Another disaster

The second unit from the same owners. Awful like the other one. This one has mold growing on the bed mattress! Filthy! Totally disgusting and misrepresenting the pictures on the website. VRBO you need to supervise your properties. A refund for both properties is definitely in order

Cozy place walking distance to the beach

We had a great time here, with 2 teenagers and a dog. We ran to the beach in less than 5 min. Our dog enjoyed the large yard. There were plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby. We enjoyed the hot springs at the Sycamore Mineral Springs resort. The house was clean and fully stocked. Jon and Melany were great hosts and very responsive. It was a pleasure to interact with them. We will come back if we are in the area!

Great location in Grover Beach

We just spent a long weekend at this home. It has everything you need to make it 'home' for a while. The beds are very comfortable and the location is fantastic. Walking distance to shops, restaurants, etc and just down the street from the vehicle beach entrance. Highly recommend.

Clean and comfortable

The hosts go out of their way to make sure you are happy and have what you need. They are very responsive and accommodating. The beds were very comfortable and plenty of space for everyone and their stuff. Bathrooms are small and counter space in bathrooms is limited. some mirrors in the bedrooms could be useful but overall the house is stocked with everything you need and is very clean. Great location super close to the beach!

Quick Stopover

We had a quick stopover in Grover Beach on the way up north and had a great stay! The place was comfortable, clean and had some fun toys (fooseball) for the teens! The hosts were very helpful; calling to make sure we got in ok, restaurant recommendations and very easy to communicate with. I then had a lovely walk on the beach in the morning and quick to jump back on the road!

Charming little house in Grover Beach

We came in with two sets of grand parents to attend an event in San Luis Obispo. House was very easy to find, walkable to the beach. Fins Bar & Grill by the beach had a local band performing. Morning breakfast at Station Grill, the place was perfectly located. Everyone slept well in each King Bed. All the basic amenities you would want for a little getaway.

Perfect for us

We had a great stay here, only one night so we didn't get to explore Grover Beach much. We were SO pleased that the bed we slept on was great! We had a pleasant take-out dinner with our daughter in the dining room, and walked our dog around the neighborhood, and had coffee down the block. This place had everything we needed and nothing we didn't. We will call upon Melany and Jon again to stay here.

Family get together

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay during a Pismo weekend. The location was great, close enough to everything without being in the middle of the chaos that is downtown Pismo. The owners were a delight and always get us informed. The house had a perfect beach charm. We will stay again next time in Pismo.
