Excellent hotel that is about a 5 minute walk to the beach. The property is in great shape and the staff are outstanding. The only “downside” is that you will need a car to get around otherwise be prepared to walk / ride a bike - but if you’re looking for a place to just put your feet up and let the days pass you by, it’s tough to find better!

Everything from the booking experience to the checkout experience was perfect. The breakfast was wonderful, as was the afternoon social gathering with wine. The gardens on the property are lovely. The sound of the ocean in the distance is peaceful and the hospitality of the staff was definitely noteworthy!

We had a lovely one night stay here. The location was amazing - we enjoyed walking down to the tide pools and to see the seals on the beach. The property was beautiful and the room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was very tasty, and we enjoyed our sipping our cocktail hour glass of wine out in the garden. Would definitely return!

If you enjoy a relaxing atmosphere this a great place to stay. The rooms are good size and have gas fireplaces. It's located a short distance from numerous restaurants and has a number of areas for walking up on the bluff above the ocean. The staff at this boutique B&B are so nice it makes you want to come back. We've stayed at the Seal Cove Inn numerous times and any time we travel to Half Moon Bay this is our destination. We highly recommend this establishment.
