The Cliff House Inn provides an experience worth the driving it takes to get around! The restaurant has great tasting food and the continental breakfast was perfect for what it is. The warm pool and lounge chairs situated at the oceans door can’t be beat. Actually sleeping with the waves crashing all night, no better sound machine on Earth! Thank you for the memorable weekend!!
