Cottage Inn By the SeaOn the bluffs above the Pacific Ocean inCottage Inn By the Sea the classic California surf town of Pismo Beach, we discovered the Cottage Inn By the Sea.  Facing swelling hills in one direction and the surging sea in the other, the Inn was a lovely spot to wind down our latest journey along the Central Coast.

Cottage Inn By the Sea GuestroomWe settled into an ocean-view room with a warm country feel to it and immediately opened the windows to let the sea air and surf echoes surround us.  The 79 guestrooms feature fireplaces, mini fridges, microwaves and coffee makers...and the usual travelers' necessities such as hair dryer, iron & board, extended cable channels, etc.  A continental breakfast is served in the lobby each morning.  But all we really needed was that revitalizing view and those soothing sounds!

There's lots to explore around Pismo itself and the four other little beach towns that twine together along the coast in a quintessentially Californian display...
