The room was incredibly clean and immediately gave a comfy home vibe, as if I'd always lived there. The staff were kind and friendly, and the community in Shelter Cove overall were a treat to interact with. The Inn is right on the coast, so your backyard is basically a glorious view of the ocean and local wildlife via birds. The pizza place attached to the inn was pretty good, and though I didn't try the Bistro food, the staff helped me find the person I needed to check out with. It was overall, a 10/10 experience for me.

Our day was good the only thing I have to complain about is the hot tub in the room took almost 2 hours to fill it up because the hot water just barely trickled so it literally took 2 to 2 1/2 hours to fill the hot tub up which was absolutely ridiculous
