Had the most amazing stay at the new and improved tides. Our family have been staying for years and our experience after the renovations have exceeded our expectations. We stayed in the beach house to celebrate my daughters sweet 16. The views from the beach house are spectacular. The amenities are a one stop shop from a beautiful full kitchen, game room, comfortable beds and a cozy living room with fire place. My whole family felt at home. Thank you to the staff for being so friendly and accommodating our request during our stay.

The whole room was smely with strong Clorox
Your guests from the room above us came in around 2.00am and started to scream, and throw things, seems that they were destroying the room, pulling and dragging objects and jumping like crazy, the noise was unbearable and all lasted for 2 hours approx
a really bad experience. My whole family and kids could not rest that night,

Fantastic location with safe parking and easy access to stores, gas stations, fast food restaurants, and the freeway. It’s just a couple of miles from the Pismo Pier, with plenty of beach access points nearby.

I highly recommend Blast & Brew for great food and excellent service. Tides In treats you like family, making check-in and check-out a breeze. The rooms are clean, spacious, and equipped with a fridge and coffee maker. Plus, the big-screen TVs make it easy to unwind after a day at the beach.

The property is just steps from the sand, offering incredible views and breathtaking sunsets. There are comfortable seating areas to relax, play cornhole, or simply people-watch. It’s also just a short drive to Avila Beach, adding even more to explore.

Overall, The Tides Ocean View Inn & Cottages was the perfect getaway—well worth the time and money. I’ll definitely be staying here again!

Upon check in a second guest in our group paid for the early check in I the primary renter gave my card to pay for the room and confirmed the room charge. The wrong card was charged!! Second NO HOT WATER IT WAS BROKEN..MAINTENANCE FROM SEA CREST TOOK AM HOUR TO ARRIVE AND OVER AN HOUR TO FIX !!! DIRTY WALLS SHOWER AND BASEBOARDS! I ASKED THE FRONT DESK AFTER CHECKING IN FOR A HEATER AND WAS TOLD THE ROOMS DO NOT HAVE HEAT OTHER THAN THE SMALL FIREPLACE (ELECTRIC) only to find out later on my own after freezing the wall ac doubles a heater!!! The girl at the front had no idea ...honestly u need to clean the place yourself and really pay the premium only for the view if u want clean look elsewhere oh and the adjacent Seacrest hotel had rowdy guests drunk screaming "what's up and yelling obscenities' that night so we couldn't enjoy the patio area at night. All in all the view is gorgeous but for 600$$ per night they should do better!! Also since the remodel single bunk beds and a full size mattresses are incredibly hard bring a mattress topper with you. Positives are staff is friendly even though not super knowledgeable they may have been new but very nice and friendly and the view is amazing
