The weekly complimentary wine and music event was a highlight of my trip. This great and friendly musician has faithfully played there every Thursday for eight years, and was wonderful! The wine was so delicious, too. The oceanfront view rooms can’t be beat.

We really enjoyed our stay at Inn at the Cove from the day we checked in until the day we left. The room was very clean, the staff was very friendly, the view of the ocean from our room was amazing, and the free continental breakfast exceeded our expectations. Also, the pool is heated! I have to say we will definitely return here the next time we visit Pismo Beach, and I would recommend Inn at the Cove to anyone looking for a quality stay during their time at Pismo Beach.
