Loved the add-on breakfast delivered to our door. They also offer complimentary cookies and coffee in the lobby. Very nice pool, hot tub, and fireside seats. Easy walking distance to the beach and Moonstone Beach Bar & Grill.
Amber, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

I like that they have a continental breakfast brought to your room every morning. They have fresh coffee in the office all day and fresh warm cookies in the afternoon. The housekeeping staff is very pleasant. The hotel is right across the street from the ocean. I wish they would keep the pool area open until 10:00

Yang, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We had such a wonderful and relaxing stay at Sea Otter Inn! From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed. The atmosphere is peaceful, warm, and inviting — perfect for a family getaway. The service was excellent, and every staff member we interacted with was kind, attentive, and accommodating. The area around the inn is beautiful and serene, just a short walk to the ocean, with scenic views and fresh coastal air. The grounds are well-kept, and we especially loved the sparkling clean swimming pool and cozy jacuzzi, which felt like such a treat after a day of exploring. We stayed with our 10-month-old baby and our dog, and it couldn’t have been a better experience. The inn is incredibly family- and pet-friendly, which made everything so much easier and more enjoyable. They even had charming little touches like a fireplace in the room and a lovely breakfast delivered to the door in the morning. Everything felt clean, calm, and comfortable — we truly felt at home. We’re already looking forward to coming back. Thank you, Sea Otter Inn, for such a lovely and memorable stay!

Beautiful little hotel by the beach. Outside of the back door is cute little sitting area to enjoy your morning coffee and breakfast that is brought to your door. There is also a fire pit just outside your front door to enjoy the cool ocean air and the sounds of the ocean. We will definitely stay here when we are back in the area!
