This hidden gem is the only hotel/motel I will stay at when I go to Pismo Beach. The service is excellent and friendly. The location is top shelf!
This is our second time staying at the Sea Gypsy. Both visits were absolutely wonderful. The rooms are great, the suites come with everything you need. You can't beat the location either. We look forward to many family vacations here. Update: we are here for our 3rd visit. This place is still amazing. Prices are still great. It's definitely a family favorite.
On the beach, nice rooms, great staff. Its all here, just right.
Love this place. I have been going here every October for years for family reunion. Great access to the beach for walking my dog.
This is my go to place when I come to Pismo Beach because they have apartments that face the ocean, which are right on the beach. I love having a refrigerator, sink, stove, plates, and silverware. The service is very nice from the time I call to make a reservation, any time I’m in the office as well as the cleaning crew. While I don’t have any pets. They allow dogs, which is fine with me. I will be back.
Love this hotel! Its right on the beach and its clean and quiet. Everything is in walking distance.
Rooms are dated. Needs a remodeling. Great location. Good service. Pet friendly!
Has everything you need for a night or a week. Nice size refrigerators, so we don't have to eat out all the time. Pool is heated and hot tub is nice. Staff is great. I love this place.
Compact waterfront zone of hotels, casual eateries & surf shops, with a wide beach & a fishing pier.
