"Checked in with Jack for our stay. He and all other staff I interacted with were very nice, pleasant, and friendly. The facility was well kept. The pool and fire place were very enjoyable. The views were fantastic and we loved being just steps away from Moonstone Beach. A few nitpicks -"

"The staff were all amazing. The small room, though dated without a microwave, was clean & comfy with a little balcony & prerry view of grassy area. I believe all rooms face pool. There is an attached dining/ bar, 500 feet from thr rooms & a small market. What was unfortunate- was the screen door, was all ripped up & broke off track ( we did a temp fix ourself for our stay, holiday weekend- shorthanded maintenance )- staff).... The food in restaurant was very good. One downside, for breakfast, on the 5th of July- they had 0 fruit! Now, this is a coastal town- 30 min from Paso Robles, an agricultural area, so that was frustrating. But then, we walked to the convenience store - next door where they had fresh apples, oranges & bananas. Idk, but - At any rate- really overall, the rest of our 2 nights ( cold, windy- 50 degree summer) was very nice. You may not get in a lot of warm sunbathing or swim time, unless cold swimming is your thing- but there are lots of walking trails a few miles down the beach. "
