Quiet and close to the beach!!
We loved the location. It was quiet and a very close walk to the beach. This place had all the amenities we enjoyed including a kitchen, refrigerator, coffee maker, comfortable living area, back patio with table and chairs as well as a grill for cooking food outside. The proximity to the beach was only a 2 minute walk depending on your pace. There was also a dedicated parking spot so you can leave your car and walkaround the center of town and visit any restaurant or store in the area. Best part is that this place is dog friendly. The only issue is that this place provides towels and bed sheets washed in a fabric softener where my wife was found to be allergic to it. Otherwise, if that doesn't bother you, this is a great place to stay if you have pets or simply want a quiet location near the beach.

Great Location
So, overall the place was pretty clean and neat. It is a studio - there is no bedroom as some people thought from the pictures. So, it's fine for a couple. The sofa is reportedly a fold out bed that could fit a couple small kids, if needed, but there is no privacy - it is one room. The kitchen is ok, with full appliance set, but the additional items in the kitchen are limited. Pots/pans are ok, but only sets of 4 for plates, and various things, which means running the dishwasher or handwashing dishes fairly frequently, as we did. Some dishes were dirty, so inspect before you use them. There is no extra items for cooking such as any oils, spices, sauce, etc. as you find in many VRBO properties, so bring ALL the ingredients you need for recipes. They have some sugar, salt and pepper. That's it. There's a little bit of coffee for Mr. Coffee, but we brought our own. The best thing about the unit is the location. That is a big plus because you are so close to the beach and the plaza. Parking is very convenient. So, overall I think it was a good place to stay if your focus is the beach and other adventures!

Great location in Pismo Beach
Location, location, location! Park your car & you can walk to the beach, to restaurants, & shopping from this location. This unit is on the first floor & has a beautiful patio to enjoy your evening happy hour or breakfast in the morning. Pismo Beach is a one of the best (if not the best) beaches to walk, explore, or enjoy the views. We will be back

Unclear description and photos
Based upon the description and photos it was unclear that there were not two beds (one in a bedroom and one on the other side of the partition in the living area). There is not a bedroom in the unit. Fortunately we were able to use the sofa/sleeper for the third guest.

A short walk from the beach
The studio was very fresh and clean looking, the layout was nice, it's within a short walking distance from the beach. The outdoor areas at the studio were surrounded by higher buildings, although it did get sun part of the day, we never used this area.

Relaxation, ocean and family
The apartment was perfect for my sister and I to visit and relax at the ocean. The patio was an added bonus, my son was also in town so most meals were served out there! All restaurants are in walking distance.

My only frustration was with the media. No clear instructions given on how to turn on the TV. I lucked into it by pressing multiple buttons, but on the last night - I turned off the TV and was never able to get it to work again.

Perfect Location
The communication with Beach Bum was excellent. They were very helpful and accommodating. The check in and out process was smooth. The house was spotless when we arrived. You couldn’t ask for a better location. It was a very short walk to the beach and lots of great restaurants. For the price I don’t think you could find much better. It was so much better than a hotel, with the exception of daily cleanings it had everything in a nice hotel room but with a full kitchen and patio with a BBQ. It was well stocked with towels, kitchen utensils and appliances. I would recommend this place to any couple looking for a nice beach get away.

Beautiful beach get-away
I needed a big city get-away for a couple of days. Decided to come to Pismo Beach for that. The apartment #4 is simply nice. The cabinets might be a bit dated but the refurbished parts are nicely done. Its 2 minutes from the beach and 2 minutes away from Hoagies - the best sandwhich place in town.
