WHY A VACATION BEACH HOUSE?

Our
vacation beach houses are a perfect place to get together, celebrate
and relax. They are perfect for family get-togethers,
weddings,
anniversaries, or birthday celebrations. The Wall Street
Journal published an article about the benefits of bringing a
large, extended family together at a vacation rental. Family
members get to connect and form lifetime memories. See:

We
also handle church or corporate retreats and sports teams.
Large
groups can utilize multiple houses located within easy
walking
distance of each other. We have had groups of less than 6 to
over
60 stay at our vacation beach houses.
We take care of the
cleaning, so you do not have to. All of our beautiful, well maintained,
vacation homes are located less than a block from the beach.
For
groups, a vacation beach house can be much more economical, is lot more
fun, and is far less cramped than renting a bunch of motel
rooms. You get to use a complete, fully equipped home, giving
you
plenty of room to celebrate together, or be apart as needed.
Our
houses come fully furnished, including a well stocked kitchen, washer
and dryer, outdoor gas grill, clean sheets and towels, televisions in
every bedroom and Wi-Fi. In addition each house has its own
special amenities such as a roof deck, gas fireplace, outdoor fire pit,
wide screen televisions, karaoke, foosball, ping-pong, kid’s area or
more. Check the detailed descriptions to see the amenities
for
each of the beach houses. All of our vacation homes are
licensed,
professionally cleaned, maintained and managed for your comfort and
convenience. We want you to have a fun, relaxing vacation at the
beach. Let us know if you need something extra to make your
event
special. We
can help arrange special services such as a horse carriage, limousine,
catered meals, flowers, etc.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD
A WONDERFUL, LITTLE KNOWN, PISMO BEACH AREA NEIGHBORHOOD
The wide, sandy beach is just a few steps away
For
over one hundred years the Strand Neighborhood of Oceano Beach has been
a favorite vacation destination for those in the
know. Located about two miles south of downtown Pismo Beach,
Oceano Beach is tucked between Highway One and the beautiful blue
Pacific, next to Pismo State Beach and the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular
Recreational Area. It is about a mile south of the
Grover Beach
Amtrak station and is within walking distance of the Oceano County
Airport.
The Strand is small, funky neighborhood, one block wide
and eight blocks long, that includes everything from tiny beach
bungalows to palatial mansions. All the houses are located
within
a block of the beach. A small commercial district featuring
local
shops and ATV rentals is located on Pier Avenue.
The
flat, wide, sandy beach is
the only beach in California that you may drive onto, ride horses, rent
dune buggies, four wheelers, kayak, build a beach bonfire, fish, surf,
or swim. A playground, restaurants, nature
center,hiking trails,
ATV rentals, lagoon and lagoon fishing are all within easy walking
distance. Nearby is the famed Monarch Butterfly Grove, downtown Pismo
Beach and the Pismo Pier, award winning wineries, the Village of Arroyo
Grande, golfing, biplane rides, sky-diving, the world famous Great
American Melodrama and Vaudeville, antique stores, Pismo Beach
Premium Outlets and much, much more. The magnificent Hearst
Castle and Solvang
Danish Village are each about an hour away.

THE WEATHER – AND WHEN TO VISIT
The
weather in the Pismo Beach area tends to be the opposite of that of the
Central Valley. In winter, when the Valley is beset with the
tule
fog, it is usually clear and warm in Pismo Beach. In summer,
when
the Valley becomes unbearably hot, the cool ocean fog tends to settle
in during the morning and evening hours, creating a pleasant, cool
(some even say chilly) environment. There are many local
micro-climates, so if it is cool in one area, it may be warm just a few
miles away. If you visit in summer, remember to bring a
sweater.
The locals say the nicest time to visit is
December through March. The weather tends to be
clear,
sunny and warm. There are few tourists, so everything is less
crowded and rates are often lower.
