About this property

Grampa's Beach House, Ocean View, Grover Beach

Cozy small house in North Grover Beach, great ocean and Pismo dune views from huge living-room windows and porch.

You will have the whole house to yourselves! The home sits by itself on lot, no other tenants, and no owners are onsite. It is located on a corner lot, plenty of room outside, open and airy feeling, neighbors are on one side only.

The covered, ocean-view front porch, with chairs and table, is perfect for relaxing and enjoying our stunning Central Coast sunsets. Plenty of parking. Small backyard patio.

There is one queen bed. One large couch (not a bed), plus one air bed (adult-sized, electric-inflated).

Authentic mid-century decor and furniture and bric-a-brac, most of which have been in our family for decades. :) Don't expect fancy marble countertops and Xenon lighting (ha-ha), just a clean and comfortable stay with authentic retro character.

All photos have all actually been taken from the living room and porch of the house, not from "nearby".

The home is located in beautiful Grover Heights, a short drive or bike ride to the entrance to Oceano Dunes, Pismo Beach, and the Butterfly Preserve.

Unlike staying at a hotel, you will have a full kitchen, small-full-sized refrigerator, and full-sized stove (experience the spotless '50s-vintage O'Keefe & Meritt-including full-sized oven, broiler, even a built-in griddle for your homemade pancakes! They don't make 'em like this anymore...), microwave, dining table for four, with view.

Also unlike at most hotels/STRs, you are welcome to bring any*/all of your doggies, to enjoy the beautiful Central Coast with you! (No limit on number, just $50 per pet, per stay. )

*Dog breed limitations: While we ourselves love all shapes/sizes/colors/breeds of dogs, we personally know others who have had regrettably have had instances of pit bull/terrier breeds (and others) attacking people or other dogs, resulting in liability claims. Insurance companies sometimes even deny coverage for injury claims in which those breeds are involved. Thus, we regret that our property cannot accept pit bull or related terrier breeds, or any mixes including those breeds. Should we learn one of those breeds is on the property (regardless of whether brought by you or any visitor) we reserve the right to immediately cancel your occupancy and require your whole party to vacate immediately. Sorry...

17 day holiday fun
My wife and I really enjoyed this Grover property. Even though it’s living area sounded small the floor plan makes it feel large and not cramped at all. Our trip was filled with pedaling over 350 miles, 40 miles of beach walking, deep sea chartered fishing, and kayaking. All of which was so convenient to this rental. The property manager was as good as it gets for communication and availability. We’ll definitely return. Doug and Patti Also should add not only is this rental very dog friendly, the whole neighborhood is very dog friendly. I’ve never seen a neighborhood with so many dog walkers.

Clean & comfortable in a convenient location
Grandpa's Beach House is exactly as described - it certainly hasn't been updated, but the property is clean and everything works properly. Although old, it didn't feel grungy at all. The only items that could have been cleaner were some of the kitchen items - several of the glasses were actually stuck to the shelf paper in the cabinet. However, I usually wash any kitchen items before using them anyway, because I don't expect the owners to rewash every every kitchen item after every guest leaves, and you never know how well previous guests will have washed something. Both the living area and the bedroom were larger than we had expected and provided plenty of room for my husband, 2 teen-age boys (who didn't mind sleeping on the couch), dog, and me. The owner, Kim, was very responsive when I asked for kitchen towels (I could only find one) and extra pillow cases (which it turns out we didn't need as I later found them in a garbage bag in the cabinet underneath the bathroom sink). The location was great - a 25-minute walk to Grover Beach a 45-minute walk to downtown Pismo Beach, and a 20-minute drive to Cal Poly. The house is at the top of the hill, so the views are pretty nice, but the hill is not too steep to walk or run up. We will definitely consider staying in this home again.

Why they chose this property

Our Dad bought this home in 1994 when he moved to the Central Coast to be near us and his grandchildren. He loved the high, open, airy location, and relaxing on the wonderful front porch overlooking the yard, streets, city, dunes, and ocean.

What makes this property unique

Rare corner lot facing two wide streets, meaning uncrowded, open feeling, impossible to get in any motel, hotel, or in a room in most other vacation rentals.

Authentic vintage furnishings, stove, decor, solid-wood furniture. No plastic hotel feel here!

Child friendly!

Dog friendly! (Just see our few limitations on breeds at * above.)
