This Inn was perfect! It had access to a beach however we were not able to enjoy it due to a rain storm the night of our stay. We did however walk over after checkout after the rain finally stopped and it was quite nice and private. I was surprised how exceptionally clean our room was. Immaculate- more than 5 star rated hotels (and we travel a lot!). The room was cozy. The bed was comfortable however the pillows can use an upgrade for comfort. We stayed in room 7. The walls were a little thin but I find that common everywhere now so that didn’t really bother us since our neighbors were rather quiet and respectful. Monica greeted me upon check in with a beautiful smile. She was so attentive and gave me a tour around the property. She asked if we were celebrating anything special and I shared we in fact were celebrating our 28th anniversary. She was so kind to leave some cut flowers in a vase outside our door. The grab and go breakfast was great. There was fresh fruit, chobaniI yogurt and croissants among at other goodies. We will definitely return. The area felt safe and secure. Thank you Monica and staff.
Our room along with the flowers Monica so kindly cut for me.

Would give it a4.5, actually. Rooms are spacious, with a kitchen, and they are spotless though a bit sterile. Location was good for us, as we wanted to be near pleasure point. It’s a little bit far from town, but quiet. Sunny Cove is a block away. Manager was friendly, but the person who checked us in was cold and business like. Breakfast was OK.

I liked that the property was within 2 minutes walk to a small and beautiful beach, was 7 minutes drive from Capitola where there are great dining options, shoppings, beaches and views. I liked the friendliness of the staff, the quiet environment, the easy parking, and the option of a continental breakfast. I highly recommend the place.

We love coming here year after year. Found online and by accident, but has become one of our favorite places to look forward to visiting year after year. Private Beach, perfect location close to everything, pet-friendly rooms and great friendly service, can't ask for more.
