Clean, cute, perfect for our stay

Clean, comfortable, very well maintained cottage. Lots of thoughtful details. Easy drives to Pismo Beach, Lopez Lake, and SLO. Really nice outdoor space that I wish we had more time to use. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Please support mom and pop rentals like this. Owner/manager is on site and very responsive to questions/small details.

One of the very best vacation homes ever!!

This amazing home exceeded our already high expectations based on the listing. It is so well cared for, laid out and equipped. The beds were all comfortable and included a queen bed in the master bedroom, a double bed in the front bedroom, and a double/queen sofa bed in the living room. Loved the bathroom - the hot water and the water pressure of the waterfall shower head were awesome. The kitchen was equipped with anything we might need including steak knives for the evening we grilled steaks on the Traeger, available in the backyard. The backyard was incredible! Beautifully arranged with trees and plants, there’s a hot tub, a hammock which the teens loved, comfortable furniture, dining table and two(!) fire pits - one for bonfires and one for gas fires. It was just all so lovely - there were even lights strung high over the yard. Tammy and her husband were super gracious and provided recommendations for restaurants that we really really loved (Giuseppe’s) and beaches like Avila that we would not have known about without their suggestion. They really made us feel welcome and cared for. We just loved it. Can’t say enough good things about our experience!

Perfect getaway for a weekend away

This place is so cute with a very nice backyard. We were there to relax over the weekend, but it worked out very well too to work from since the WIFI was strong for online meetings. The bed is very comfortable and kitchen well stacked with equipment. Also a plus to be able to walk to some very nice restaurants, we enjoyed Ember in particular. The hosts are superfriendly and response very fast to messages. We will come back

Central coast gem

Overall excellent. Backyard is peaceful and private. Close proximity to AG and Grover Beach. Lots of amenities including a grill, hot tub, full kitchen, fireplaces. Guests should be aware that there is only one real bedroom. Other beds are couch conversions located in the entryway (which has a door and is private) and other Is in the main living room, so not very private.

The most ideal private retreat spot ever

This was my second stay at Tammy and John's charming VRBO. As an introvert/creative with an overly active brain, I've arrived each time with one goal in mind: to relax, unpack and spread out all my ideas/papers/books/articles that I've been saving. Since work life doesn't leave me with ample energy to create and restore, I come HERE for 4-5 days each year.Tammy and John have created a private, welcoming, comfortable home with lovely touches. They are thoughtful hosts who stay invisible but super responsive. Highly highyly recommend this spot.

Perfect little oasis with garden charm. The hot tub was a perfect place to relax and chat with family. Sat around the fire pit with music, story telling and laughter. Gracious hosts that tend to every need. Our stay couldn’t have been any better. Thanks

Super cute place close to the beach

This place is super cute. We loved the decor and it was very welcoming. The host left a bottle of wine and plenty of bottled waters in the fridge which was a really nice touch. It’s close to the beach and where you can ride Atvs or take your car to the beach if you have the right set up

Nice Getaway

We had an enjoyable stay here. Nicely centrally located to all the places we like to go, yet tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. The house was well organized and uncluttered. Some super cool furniture and even a full set of the Time Life Old West collection my family had when I was a kid. Cool memory I didn’t see on the bookshelf until we were leaving. T&J were helpful with some suggestions and any questions we had. We recommend staying here

Cozy, clean bungalow with a nice hot tub

We really enjoyed our stay in Pismo Beach, it was very relaxing to read in the courtyard and relax in the hot tub at night. We got to see a meteor shower from the hot tub, which was an experience. The hosts were great, and the property was well kept up, clean, and organized. All in all, we'd stay there again.

Relaxing 4th of July

We had a fantastic time relaxing in the hot tub and lounging in the courtyard. Thank you Tammy for all the wonderful memories and little details about your house. We also enjoyed listening to some vinyl records as we had a nice glass of wine on arrival. Definitely worth rebooking for future trips. The Jones’s

We loved the decor and the beautiful yard. I have a daughter in the area and the host was happy for her family to come over for a BBQ. The bed was very comfortable. It is one of the first places i didn't redecorate in my mind. I was so at peace there.

Good but bitter aftertaste

The place is nice and designed very well but after the stay, I got a bill For almost nearly thousands for damages, for the cover of the hot tub more particularly. I have not even touched it, and it was fine when we were leaving, but how would I prove this? Such a disappointment...

This is our first opportunity in a very long time to celebrate our anniversary. We picked this place for the proximity of the beach and the outdoor space and it exceeded our expectations. The interior is beautiful and thoughtful. Everything is high-quality and comfortable.

Perfect stay at the T-J getaway

This was our first stay at an ABB. This little house is tucked behind the owner's home with total privacy and is peaceful. The backyard was so beautiful and gave us a great feeling of serenity and relaxation. Loved the spa and fire pit in which we made smores. The inside is clean and cozy. The bed was comfortable also. About 3 minutes away is a state beach which you can drive on, park and relax. The host/owners were right there if we needed anything. First impression of an ABB was the best. Thanks
