We decided to take an early Valentine’s trip from Central California to hit Pismo area. We went to the Madonna Inn for dinner and then we stayed here at the Sandcastle, which was lovely but I was surprised that they charge $25 for parking so be prepared for that. Apparently it stated someplace in the paperwork when I made my reservations, but I didn’t see it.

My wife and I have stayed at The Sandcastle several times and each time it’s a pleasure. We had the Ocean Front room with a balcony, which is literally a walkway width from the beach. Our room was comfortable and quiet. The reception, housekeeping and The Deck staff were all friendly and welcoming. The hotel has two decks with fire pits and comfortable seating. It’s an easy walking distance to the pier and restaurants.
