Great Location
Stopped to stay one night here in our drive back home to Northern CA. We live to stay in Pismo and this was our first time at Inn at the Cove. We lived our ocean view room AND the comfy bed. This place is awesome! It offers a great breakfast and wine tasting in the afternoon. The staff are very friendly too! I lived the walkway along the cliffs overlooking the beach below.

Amazing property, views and rooms. Enjoyed the hot tub at night and all the staff was great. The only downside was the continental breakfast was pretty basic, some cheese/meat/fruit would be a welcome addition.

The property is in a lovely location, and there is a private beach just a few minutes walk from the property. Dining options are limited. The complementary breakfast included was minimal for the price we paid.
