Sea Gypsy Motel

Sea Gypsy Motel is an oceanfront motel on the sand in Pismo Beach, offering 30 condominium-style studios and suites, many with private balconies facing the water. Guests come back year after year for the beach access, the pool and spa, and the sunsets from the balcony.

The motel is pet-friendly and has direct beach access for walking a dog. Downtown Pismo Beach, with its restaurants, shops, the boardwalk and the pier, is about two blocks away, so many guests leave the car parked. It sits between Los Angeles and San Francisco on the Central Coast, at 1020 Cypress Street.
