This inn is beautiful and the oceanfront room was amazing. There aren’t many amenities and the internet was slow but the sights made up for it and after you go through that treacherous drive to get there it is nice to have a quiet place to rest. The bed was somewhat comfortable. The water pressure wasn’t great. There was one restaurant open the afternoon we arrived so there want much of a choice. The cafe attached to the inn had pretty good breakfast. I would stay there again.

5-star experience in a 3.5-star property

Shelter Cove is an absolute GEM, WAY off the beaten path. The hotel is in a prime location with beautiful views and direct access to black sands beaches, tide pools and even a lighthouse! The hotel is still being renovated, so it's not perfect. But the staff is helpful and the location is wonderful.

The view to the ocean was world class. For 350+ per night, it would be nice for the balcony door to slide easily; maybe clean the bird poop splatters off the windows; and get improve the wifi situation so guests can use the TV and check their phones. I know this is a remote place, but the cafe downstairs has solid wifi 24/7 . We wished we had checked their password!

Made a reservation for a king bed with an ocean view and a jetted tub. Arrived to a Room on the ground, with no ocean view and no tub. It was unacceptable! Called the property manager and had to complain in order to get a room closer to what I reserved. It still didn’t have a jetted tub, I was told that’s all they had. They also sent me the door opening codes to two other guests rooms along with their room numbers. Room issues: leaky fridge, electric sounds/humming throughout the night, uncomfortable Bed, no jetted tub. Extremely slow wi-fi, streaming/devices were interrupted throughout stay. Management didn’t respond about making things right. Just charged me and didn’t respond to my feedback.

The property needs repair. No screens on the windows or the sliding door so we could t leave them open without bugs. The furniture needs to be updated, and the appliances. The Wifi went out, so we had no phone or TV. Usually not a problem but we had come off of a backpacking trip and just wanted to veg out. The upside is that the cafe downstairs is AMAZING! Not associated, but check it out if you are in the area.
