About fees

A new city law mandates I charge a 14% bed transient occupancy tax ( one of the highest in the USA feel free to complain to the city of Pismo Beach)
This is included in the final total which you will see on Airbnb along with Airbnb fees also ( fees galore )!

The other fees are Airbnb’s booking fees of 17% and a living California wage housekeeper fee.
Yes, all these fees add up!
I only get the nightly fee as your hostess.

There are plenty of cafes and brewhouses to walk to with great crafted beer and local wine. Restaurants are wide open
