We had a wonderful stay at the Sunset Inn. The owner and staff are super friendly and made our stay a very nice experience. Location is great- very close to the ocean and I enjoyed seeing the local deer every morning right across the street from the Inn.

Very friendly staff. Very cute little bungalows clean and quiet. Very good parking right near the front door. Beautiful location as we were driving to the establishment we saw about a dozen deer just grazing in a park nearby. Close to trails in the beach and some beautiful overlooks.

This property is a little gem 2 1/2 blocks from the ocean. The rates were very reasonable for a January visit. The entire place was very clean, with beautiful planters along the drive area, little seating area outside the rooms. My room had a portable fireplace but I believe many of the rooms have built-in fire places. It appears that this was an older business that has been very tastefully updated. Breakfast is available in the lobby . The lobby is small and it is best to take it back to your room. During the warmer months there is outside seating and fireplace on a patio. Service was excellent. Highly recommend staying here.

Pros and cons

Sunset Inn is in a convenient location, just a few minutes drive from restaurants and a few minutes walk from a beautiful walking path along the beach. Great place for sunrise or sunset viewing! Free parking, clean, and the jacuzzi tub is nice. There wasn't enough hot water one evening, though, and when I tried to use the jets in the tub, the room downstairs complained about the noise (at 9:30 pm). The bed had nice linens but the mattress was very hard. The breakfast consisted of yogurt, donuts, fruit, and coffee/tea, and everything is crammed into the small lobby. There is outdoor seating, but it was too cold to sit out there. So, there are pros and cons to this place. Kind of felt like beach cottages, somewhat bare bones, but a good location.

Verified traveler

Disliked: Room comfort

Zero soundproofing

I paid extra for an upgraded room which turned out to be the only room at the motel that’s beneath another room. There is absolutely zero soundproofing and the floors are so creaky and loud. When the neighbors turned their tub jets the noise was deafening. The tub stopper didn’t work and there wasn’t enough hot water. The room did not match the photos and was much smaller. The room I was moved to had ants.
