About this property

Strandcastle Beach House - Oceanfront! - You're right on the sand!

***NOW, SELF-MANAGED!***
This sprawling oceanfront home is right on the sand, don't settle for less! The Strandcastle boasts magnificent views of the white sand, Oceano dunes, and gorgeous blue Pacific Ocean from the floor-to-ceiling windows throughout. The Strand is a very special strip of homes right on the beach and it is the ONLY strip of homes on the beach where you can walk out the door onto the sand on the entire Central Coast.

There is plenty of room for your families to sprawl out in this 3,120 square foot home with 2 large living rooms, multiple indoor/outdoor dining areas, a gourmet kitchen, a wet bar, 4 large bedrooms, and 3 baths. Discover the laid-back allure of the Central Coast with a seamless blend of coastal delights. Wander along the shoreline to reach Pismo Beach, explore the scenic Oceano dunes and nearby hiking trails, or opt for a leisurely horseback ride. Whether you're renting recreational vehicles or bringing your own, the spirit of adventure awaits. Enjoy renowned dining, explore charming shops, and delve into local museums. A short drive opens up a world of experiences—from Avila Beach, Arroyo Grande Village, and the SLO Farmer's Market to the grandeur of Hearst Castle, vibrant car shows, lively festivals, wine tastings, Cal Poly, Morro Bay, Lopez Lake, and so much more! We extend a warm invitation to bask in the magic of our dreamy beach house and set the stage for what promises to be your BEST vacation ever!

Sunset bonfires are permitted on the beach (time for S'mores!) and you only have to walk out the door onto the sand to find your special spot. You will have the entire beach as your own backyard playground. It's so stunning, it's ridiculous!

Overpriced Rental with Misleading Listing and Noisy Location

I am writing this review to share my experience staying at this vacation rental. Unfortunately, I found the property to be significantly overpriced given the conditions and location.The house is situated directly at the entrance of the sand dunes, resulting in constant noise and heavy traffic from large trucks and vehicles exiting the beach. This traffic persists throughout the entire day until approximately 10 PM, making it impossible to enjoy a peaceful environment. Additionally, the beach in front of the house is not suitable for family activities, as it serves primarily as a roadway for vehicles rather than a recreational space.Another major issue was the misleading property description. The listing included photos of a fire pit in front of the house, along with instructions on where to obtain firewood. Naturally, we assumed this was part of the rental. However, on our second day, an elderly woman began taking photos of my family and young children sitting near the fire pit. When I approached her, she informed me that she was the owner of the neighboring property and that the fire pit did not belong to the rental. This was an uncomfortable and frustrating experience, as the listing gave no indication that this amenity was off-limits.Furthermore, the checkout process was unpleasant. The listing states that checkout is at 10 AM, which is precisely when the cleaning staff arrived. The individual did not introduce herself and was noticeably rude, particularly about som

Beach House

We had an amazing time at this beach house! The location was perfect—just steps from the water, and the views were incredible. The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The host was fantastic, always quick to respond and made sure we had a smooth experience from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and will definitely stay here again!

So Clean!

We had a wonderful stay. The house was super clean, with plenty of linens and dishware for our group. The kids enjoyed using the sand toys and boogie boards that were provided. Beware that this is a driving beach and may not work well for families with young children.

Family Pismo Trip

It was such a great time at strandcastle. The house was perfecr for our family. The views from almost every room was a bonus. We cooked in both nights of our stay, and we had no problems with finding dishes, pots and pans etc. Plenty of space to spread out. We also enjoyed the walks on beach and the fire pit at night. We would definitely recommend this stay and we cant wait ro return. Thank you

Great family vacation spot

We had 12 family members (ages ranged from 75-10) travel to take Grandma to her favorite location - the beach! The views were beautiful!! It was a very comfortable home, with plenty of space to hang out. The weather didn’t permit us to hang out much outside, but when it wasn’t raining the grandparents could relax on the recliners while the rest of the family walked to the beach. The kids loved collecting shells and watching the sea gulls. We had a movie night and a game night. We all wished we could have stayed longer! The owner, Mauri, was very responsive and helpful! Thank you for everything!
