Stimson by AvantStay | Rooftop Firepit + Grill + Ocean Views | Walk to Pier

Tucked into the hills above Pismo Beach, this three-story coastal escape trades the typical beach-bungalow vibe for something a little more elevated — literally and figuratively. With three bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a rooftop lounge that catches every shade of the sunset, Stimson is built for the kind of trip where the cocktails get poured early and nobody's watching the clock.The main living level is bright and open, anchored by a comfortable lounge that flows straight into the dining area and a full chef's kitchen. Stainless appliances, a generous island, and a dedicated coffee corner make morning routines easy, while the six-seat dining table sets the stage for slow dinners and even slower breakfasts. Big windows pull in plenty of natural light, and a nautical accent here and there nods to the harbor town just down the hill.Upstairs, the primary suite is the kind of room you don't mind retreating to early — king bed, ceiling fan, two cozy sitting chairs by the window, and an ensuite with a dual vanity and walk-in shower. A second bedroom on the same level offers a queen bed and ceiling fan, perfect for friends or family sharing the space. Down on the lower level, you'll find the third bedroom — a king-bed suite with its own private entrance, mini fridge, microwave, and coffee maker, essentially a self-contained guest quarters for whoever lands the best bedroom in the rock-paper-scissors round.But the real showstopper is the rooftop. Climb the stairs and you're rewarded with a sprawling open-air lounge complete with a firepit, dining for six under the umbrella, a built-in grill, and panoramic views stretching across the rooftops to the Pacific. It's the kind of perch where mornings start with coffee and a horizon check, and evenings end with marshmallows and ocean breeze.Location-wise, you're in one of the most walkable pockets of the Central Coast. The Pismo Beach Pier and downtown's lineup of seafood joints, ice cream shops, and surf bars are an easy stroll away, as is the sand itself. Stretch the legs a little further and you'll hit Dinosaur Caves Park, with its clifftop trails and tide pool overlooks, or the laid-back charm of Shell Beach just up the coast. Avila Beach, the Edna Valley wine trail, and the dunes at Oceano are all within a short drive — plenty of reasons to keep the rental car keys handy.It's a home that fits the rhythm of this stretch of coast: salty, sun-soaked, and just polished enough to feel like a treat.AvantStay provides a personalized hospitality experience to elevate your stay.
