Discover Gorgeous Ocean Views
at Cottage Inn by the Sea

Here, guests of our relaxing ocean view hotel in Pismo Beach can select from 80 ocean or garden view hotel rooms with cozy fireplaces, flat-screen TVs, and ocean or garden views.

Explore the surrounding area and see Pismo Beach treasures like the Oceano Dunes and Monarch Butterfly Cove, or head downtown to scope out many boutiques, surf shops, cafes, and spas.

Our Guests Say It Best

Great Experience and View!

We stayed here on a family trip and it was great. We wish we had more time to spend in this beautiful town exploring and relaxing. The views were insane and the beach was gorgeous. The staff were very nice, professional and helpful. We would definitely recommend the Cottage Inn.
