Absolutely on of our favorite places to stay! The staff was friendly, room was clean, and location on the ocean was wonderful. The wine, cookies, and breakfast basket were fun and unexpected additions. Although we didn’t have our dog with us, it was fun that they are dog friendly. The next time we visit CA we will definitely plan to stay here again!

We have been coming here for many years. The staff is friendly. The accommodations are neat, clean and look right out at the Pacific Ocean. There are beautiful succulents all over the property. We started coming here when we had dogs and it is the best place you can go for dogs we know no longer have dogs, but we still come back. The staff was very helpful when I had an injury and helped us through the crisis. Nothing serious but their comfort was appreciated.
