401 Valentina Penthouse Suite

"We had a great time. The location was perfect and we had two different condos in the Valentina suites. The larger one allowed us to get together for dinner and everybody had access to their own bedroom. It was a perfect location with easy access to so many Amenities. "

"The rooms are fully stocked everything there that you could ever need or want"

"This was our second time staying in Valentina Suites and working with Coastal Vacation Rentals. (Last time we stayed in #402. #401 is nicer because of the outdoor patio/balcony.) The unit is not inexpensive but I think it is a good value. It's spacious, and the location is great - right on the main drag and a short walk to the beach. Very well kept, too. Nicely decorated, furniture in good shape - not worn out like in some rentals. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans and utensils. One very minor caveat - the beds are high, which was an issue for an elderly person in our party. (She ended up sleeping on one of the sofa beds in the living room.) Gated parking was appreciated. Finally, the folks at Coastal Vacation Rentals could not have been kinder or more professional, and I look forward to working with them again."

"My husband and I rented this location for the week because of it’s location to downtown and the kichen/patio arrangement. We found the floor plan was perfect for us. We had 6 adults, 1 toddler and 1 infant. The large appliances and finishes were great quality. We had rain all week and spent more time indoors cooking and playing games.
Area’s for improvement-there are 3 futon couches that lay flat for additional sleepers. They are terribly uncomfortable. There is no comfortable seating in the living room. The kitchen is stocked with old worn out cookware and utensils. We found parts and pieces of small appliances-no mixer but inserts in the drawer. An Instapot insert but no appliance???
Our take away-there are top of the line Viking appliances but plan on bringing your own pots and pans because what’s there looks like they picked them up from a garage sale. Since we were drawn to the kitchen and paid top dollar for the rental we expected more and were disappointed.
Also, there are only 3 dish towels????
Anyways, if you don’t plan to use the kitchen or sit in the living room it’s a great location. The beds and linens were very comfortable. I would recommend this property if you want a nice place to stay close to downtown and you plan on eating out."

"We stay here as a family every year and enjoy this rental property. The condo is clean and the kitchen is well-equipped to cook anything. We love the patio area the best. It has a beautiful view and plenty of seating. We accidentally left baby clothes in the dryer when we left, and the cleaning crew contacted us and even folded our laundry for us. "

"The place was very nice and clean. Lots of living space which was nice. Great location and view."

"The stay was pleasant. We had a party of 8 which was more than enough space. Three rooms with at least a queen size bed in each then the couch. I wish the shower got hotter but it wasn’t bad. There’s also no AC so prepare to have the doors open for fresh air if you want to cool down. Overall, I would rent again. "

"We had two families with a total of 4 kids. We stayed a week. It is about a 10-15minute walk to the beach and you can see it from the balcony. The two smaller rooms have space for a toddler inflatable bed while the master could fit two twin inflatable beds. The floors were dirty but I mopped the place with the swiffer provided and it was great for the rest of the trip.

The previous reviews had complained that the house did not have enough pots and pans so we brought our own but looks like it was restocked. No spices so make sure to bring your own.

Few minor issues. First (which is not the rental's fault), there is a restaurant right next door that had a banquet hall and had music blasting from 3pm and did not stop till midnight. I could not get the kids to bed at 8 with the music BLARING. They turned down the music around 11pm but kept going till 12am

Next, the freezer wouldn't close all the way well. We only figured this out when we opened the freezer in the morning to find everything melted. The freezer drawer needs to be pushed in real tight and double/triple checked.

The furniture was decent but the couch armrest shows how much it's been used. Maybe get a washable couch wrap bc it looks pretty gross.

The management did send someone for the freezer but was not able to come in since we had left for the beach and did not come back in time.

I would recommend this place and would visit again.
We ordered in from Cracked crab and Shin's poke (I would do both again). And there's a great little shop for women kitty corner from the place called Wildflower women and Sarah the manager was very helpful and sweet. We also went to the cinnamon bun place early in the morning but I wouldn't go there again. last but not least, the taste of the valley wine shop below was perfect to walk down while kiddos were watching a movie. "

"Great location. Close to beach and restaurants. Plenty of room for our family. Would definitely come back"

"We stayed there with family members for a college graduation. Could not have been more perfect! Very clean and comfortable, living room and kitchen were big enough and comfortable enough for lots of family "hanging out" time. The view from the patio is spectacular and it is walking distance from the beach. Complex is quiet and the fountains and music throughout are a beautiful touch. We had a fairly stressful, chaotic weekend and staying at the Villa Valentina really lessened that stress. Would DEFINITELY stay here again. "

"EVERYTHING WAS GREAT!"

"The condo was perfect for an extended family get away. The kitchen is well-stocked and in the heart of the living area. We enjoyed the sunshine and the view from the spacious deck. Restaurants, shopping, bowling, and the beach are all easy to walk to. We enjoyed playing pickle ball at a park in Shell Beach. We are definitely coming back."

"Enjoyed our stay very much and look forward to returning next September"

"This was a beautiful space!! We would definitely stay here again. The location is just close enough to town without being on the main street. The views were also just amazing! Loved the place!"

"We had a great time staying at the Valentina! We had plenty of room and a gorgeous ocean view from the deck! I would definitely stay here again!"

"We've stayed in suite 401 twice now and love it!
Everything is close by from the beach to restaurants to wine tasting.
"

"Beautiful accommodations- offered plenty of space for the entire family. Just a quick walk to the beach. Great location! "

"The property is clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated. Great location to walk to restaurants, shopping and the beach! Can't wait to do it again!!"

"Great"

"First class accommodations, clean and new and well decorated. My daughter is in a wheelchair and access was perfect. Great kitchen, beds are wonderful."

"The property was better than what we imagined! It was a really nice villa that was central to all main spots in downtown Pismo (Pismo beach, pier, downtown restaurants and especially splash restaurant!!) the villa was more than what we expected and kitchen amenities were awesome since we did a lot of cooking.
Tons of Pros and only really 1 minor con which was no swimming pool onsite since the beach was always at a cold temperature. But overall the living space was more than adequate and the lanai was very spacious for our entire family to have dinner and watch the fireworks spectacular! We are already talking about reserving the same villa for next years 4th of July family vacation! "

"Wonderful location and accommodations. Lots of room and fabulous patio! Fortunately, we brought a lot of our own pans and utensils for cooking as there were limited utensils and no salt & pepper"

"The Valentina Suites properties were the prefect place to stay. We rented 2 suites for our family to stay in during the week of our daughters wedding. We highly recommend this property. "

"Property was amazing, could not ask for a better location. Looking forward to staying there again."

"I love this place. Gorgeous inside and out."

"We had a wonderful weekend. It couldn't have been more perfect Valentina #401 was a great unit and the entire property was beautiful. We will definitely be back!"

"Spent a wonderful weekend in Pismo for my 50th birthday with friends and family. This penthouse was the perfect rental for everyone to stay together . From the fireplace to the deck and gourmet kitchen we thoroughly enjoyed all of the amenities.We would highly recommend this to all."

"Every year is just better and better. This was our 5th time to spend Fathers day here and have been here since it first opened. If you want a first class stay, this is the place to chose!"

"Had a great time at the Valentina last weekend. Celebrated our daughter's Cal Poly graduation. It was a pleasure cooking and entertaining our guests in the fabulous kitchen and deck of suite 401. The covered and secure parking was much appreciated. We will return!"

"This was our first stay at the Valentina and we loved it!! Our unit was large and very roomy! The kitchen had a table large enough where we could all dine together which was great!!! They have several BBQ's that are available for use which was convenient! The Valentina is very clean and well maintained. The grounds are kept up beautifully. Parking is in a secure lot and very conveniently located. No matter what you are looking for I am sure you can find it at the Valentina. I would highly recommend this vacation rental in Pismo Beach! We are looking forward to next year!!!! "

"We absolutely love the Valentina, we are going on 5 years staying every 4th of July and look forward to our stay on July 4th 2013 :)"

"I did a review on 402 which I rented at the same time for the same group."

"This was our family's second time at the Valentina room 401. There were a few ants (I saw maybe 5), but otherwise the place has been kept very well. Had a great time. May try a month long rental of a smaller room sometime in the late winter. Too close to the cinnamon roll place for my waist line. Easy on/off to the 101 North and South for Avila, SLO, Arroyo Grande, etc."

"This was our fourth stay in the Valentina, and it was a great eight days. Our family enjoyed their time there, too. Judy was, as always, exemplary in her care shown to us!!"

"We absolutely love this property and its location. We've stayed here a few times and had a wonderful stay every time!"

"My fianc`e and I brought my mother and my aunt here as a christmas gift to them. We stayed the weekend in 401 and it was fabulous! First off the service in the reservation office is great.Everyone is so nice and helpful. The condo was exceptionally well kept and the living space was grand. I am a chef so cooking in the state of the art kitchen made me feel at home. That is the theme of this place be on vacation but feel at home! We didn't have the pleasure of meeting Judy face to face but I can tell she takes pride in making sure every guest feels welcome and all is well....We absolutely love Pismo and are frequent visitors. We remeber when this place opened not too long ago and after our good friends downstairs Ash & Lissa, at Taste of The Valleys, recommended it & we could not wait to stay! Our wait is over and I must say we will definately be back!!! Also we really appreciate the fact that the people who run the Valentina have several clauses in the contract that make people responsible for how they choose to respect the grounds and the manner in which they take up residency there. That way everything is kept in tip top shape for every guest to enjoy. It lets you know they care about us guests and value our time away and money. There are many fantastic places to stay in Pismo Beach but this one is the most private and exclusive.... Thank you Valentina staff for such a wonderful space. See you real soon! S & R"

"Very clean, beautiful decor and a great location!"

"The Valentina has become a family favorite. Each visit has been better than the last. The accomodations are exceedingly comfortable. Architecture, decor and landscaping, all beautiful. Judy, the Hostess is a sweetheart and thorough in her duties.The owner, Bob, is gracious and welcoming, attentive to both the property and seeing that your stay is everything you hope it to be. We have already booked our next reservation."

"Everything about this place is first rate and if you need ANYTHING Judy will
move any mountain to help you. She is the best. Third year and still great!"

"Valentina Inn and Villas exceeded all our expectations. The property manager, Judy was excellent. She took care of our every need. Bob, who took care of some minor plumbing issues was very helpful. The property was beautiful, had every convenience of home but felt like a luxury vacation. This was without a doubt the best rental property we have ever stayed at. Our stay made the celebration of our daughters graduation from CalPoly SLO spectacular."

"Everything was perfect! The place was beautiful and right in the middle of everything. We didn't have to drive anywhere! Can't wait to go back with my family!"

"Valentina is the best place in Pismo Beach. Everything about this complex is perfect. We recommend it to everyone!"

"This is 6th Annual beach trip---by far this is the best place that we have stayed in. This is a beatiful-comfortable-elegant beachhouse--we will be returning next year.."

"We really enjoyed the Valentina and look forward to returning on a future visit. This is in a central location, just a few blocks to the beach. It's in great condition. "

"Because we were going to have 8 family members during parts of the week, we got the 3 bedroom 401. Met all our needs. I was disappointed to hear that a couple of the smaller villas don't rent by the month. Now that I'm retired my wife and I would like to rent the smallest villa with an ocean view for a month or more. "

"A very luxurious place to stay. We could walk to everything. Very clean. We'll definitely be back!"

"Will definitely stay again. This place was totally awesome."

"Excellent property and location! Amazing kitchen, baths, everything of the best quality. Perfect for a vacation, or like us, a family visit."

"We would highly recommend this condo to anyone staying in Pismo Beach. We had our family of 8 there and were extremely pleased with everything."

"I was only able to sleep about 3 hours at a time in the horrible beds at this condo. Just to be fair, my husband and I were the only ones that hated the beds, we have a tempur-pedic. However, five days of little sleep was hard to take. I could have done without what they called the "Penthouse" of all of the units. For the rental price ($600 per night) I expected the beds to at least be comfortable.

The kitchen appliances (Viking Stove, Oven, etc) were excellant, and furnishings comfortable with the exception of the beds."
