Beautiful room in a great location with a breathtaking view! Excellent communication with reservation team. Onsite team was friendly and helpful. Would love to return again! One note, my friend that came along felt the bed was too firm and it really bothered her back. I did not have the same issue. But those that have back issues may want to check ahead. Room 6 has firm mattresses. And very snuggly warm comforters! Loved the stay here.

The incredible view of the ocean slamming against the rocks required an afternoon happy hour everyday on the balcony. Whenever we return to Black Sands Inn, it will not be soon enough. What a secret getaway of solitude and beauty that only few know about.

Property was amazing. Communication was not; they kept telling us 30 min to get in at 1:30- (we got in at 345) We would have preferred them to say go about your day and we will contact you instead of waiting for hours. Otherwise it was a lovely unit and location.

This was a great place to go stay by the ocean. You can't get any closer to the ocean than this place! Wonderful outdoor chairs to sit and soak in the Ocean breeze. Nice clean rooms, plenty of towels and coffee. Management is very responsive to inquiries.

We had a wonderful stay at The Black Sands Inn. The property's direct access to the beautiful beach was a huge plus, offering stunning views and perfect opportunities for tide pooling and beachcombing. The hot tub was a definite highlight—it was incredibly clean and relaxing with its great views, strong jets, and comfortable seats. We also appreciated the convenience of having several good restaurants located nearby. We are hoping to stay longer next time to explore more.
