Mid-century coastal suites
The property runs like a set of private beach apartments, with digital entry and a guest rooftop looking over the Pacific.
What it’s good at
Notable
Checkerboard floors, warm wood tones, and vintage mid-century furnishings across twenty suites.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
This all-suite boutique hotel plays up mid-century modern design: checkerboard floors, warm wood tones, and vintage-inflected furniture against a clean California palette.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Pismo Beach Pier is a two-block walk down Pomeroy Avenue, and Avila Beach sits a quick drive up the coast.
The rooms
Suites have full kitchens equipped with cookware and separate living areas. Beds are California kings dressed in organic cotton.
How it began
The building spent decades as residential apartments before a multi-year rebuild stripped it down to its original timber beams.
