At Valentina, Family Comes First

Don't Try to Cram Everyone in a Small Hotel Room
Choose Valentina Inn & Villas

Christmas is just around the corner, and so begins the winter season of family travel. If you've ever tried to take the whole family on vacation, you've probably been soured by the reaction at the front desk. "How many people do you need to accommodate?" And then you were likely forced to book two rooms.

As the parents of six children, Bob and Toni feel your pain. Good luck finding a hotel room anywhere that accommodates a family of 8. This is why they built the Valentina-- with family in mind.

At the Valentina Inn & Villas, our 2 bedroom suites accommodate 6, and our three bedroom suites accommodate 8. And for those smaller families, our 1 bedroom suites accommodate 4. What does this mean for you? No more struggling to fit four kids on the fold-out sofa bed.

Valentina Welcomes Moose Deli and Brew

When it comes to brilliant sandwiches,
you don't mess with The Moose

You may have seen it’s tracks these past few weeks, but the Moose has finally settled on Price Street, right next to the nursery (across from Valentina Inn & Villas). And aside from its convenient location and awesome name, The Moose Deli has a brilliant menu. You’ll see what we mean.

From “brilliant” sandwiches to “brilliant” salads to a “brilliant” selection of beers on tap, The Moose never fails to please. It’s something you surely have to see (and taste) to believe. Come visit this "brilliant" sandwich shop for lunch or dinner (or both).

The Moose is located adjacent to the nursery at 950 Price Street in Pismo Beach. Like ‘em on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Moose-Deli-Brew/257675360941605?sk=info.

Celebrate the Christmas Season in Pismo Beach!

Santa . . . No Stranger to the Joy of Vino
Celebrate With Him!

The Christmas holiday is a time for rejoicing and celebration. And with any celebration of this magnitude, wine is a must. Why do you suppose Santa's cheeks are rosy?

Many local wineries in the Edna Valley are in the midst of wonderful tasting celebrations to commemorate this special occasion and are worth a visit. Check out sanluisobispocounty.org to find out their addresses and holiday schedules.

In addition, if you're looking for the perfect gift for your special someone, tickets to the Great American Melodrama are your solution. These performances are witty and entertaining, and always end with a good old-fashioned vaudeville show.

Their most popular show of the year is a three-part evening! First, celebrate the redemption of Scrooge in a heart-warming tale of holiday magic, their one-act version of Dickens' classic A Christmas Carol. Then, laugh yourself silly at the zany characters in their fractured fairy-tale opera, and finally you can delight in the music of the season in their unique holiday vaudeville revue, a wonderful gift of song, dance and comedy! This show is a very special family tradition designed to bring a year's worth of smiles to you and your loved ones in a great musical and theatrical experience! The Great American Melodrama is located at 1863 Front St. in Oceano.

And while you're in Pismo Beach, be sure to reserve your suite at the Valentina Inn & Villas-- the best way to spend the holidays with family and friends.

Valentina... Your Villa Awaits.

Come deck the halls in Pismo Beach and be filled with merry-ness! Reserve now at Valentina Inn & Villas via phone at 805-773-1234 or online at ValentinaPismoBeach.com! Our spacious 1-3 bedroom suites can accommodate the whole fam'!

Merry Christmas!

Stay Warm... Drive South for the Winter

Follow the Birds, Migrate South
to Pismo Beach for the Winter

Or if you live south of Pismo, drive north. While everywhere else seems to suffer from poor seasonal
conditions or just plain awful weather year-round, Pismo Beach remains a paradise at any given month of the year.

It may not receive the attention of Hawaii or any other exotic islands, but then again, those places can cost a fortune. Times are tough, and Pismo Beach is much more "real" anyways. The views are stunning, the activities are endless, and the wine region surrounding it is absolutely superb.

An ideal climate is just the icing on the cake to a perfect winter getaway. Come visit Pismo Beach, and reserve your villa at Valentina today!
