We will always stay here. Perfect stay everyone. Staff, especially Scott, goes above and beyond to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Rooms are very nice. Love all the little touches like a basket with books, dinnerware and an extra blanket and water bowl for the dogs. Love the breakfast hung in a basket outside our door and the convenience of having a coffee shop and restaurant on site now. Best place to sit in an Adirondack and watch the sun set.

Love this small inn. Great location! I loved the pet friendly staff, love the beach view, love the basket of goodies every morning. Bringing our dogs was the best! The bed was a bit tilted, which was uncomfortable, please make it level!.... but all in all a really lovely place to stay. We will be back with our dogs!

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!

Everyone was very kind! Room was clean and they provided SO much for our doggie companion! Water / food bowls, potty bags with a holder, to go water container, treats, and a list of anything we could possibly ask for that was dog related (activities, local dog stores / vets, dog friendly restaurants, etc.) It was such an enjoyable stay. We can’t wait to come back!
