Enjoyed My Stay at Sea Otter Inn

Overall, a very good stay. I just wished the carpet between the beds had been cleaner and the shower head offered more flexibility. The staff were kind and helpful. The beds were comfortable and clean, and the room had a charming look. It was also nice to have access to the outdoor pool and hot tub.

Not worth the high price.

Did not enjoy our stay here the rooms are very dated bathrooms cabinets are chipped the heater doesn’t work without the fireplace on but no instructions on how to operate. The housekeeping was non existent but you could ask for extra towels. But the girls would congratulate outside our window and talk which woke us up both mornings. We left a day early without a refund.

It is quaintly charming, old-fashioned, but well-kept. The Pacific Ocean is across the street with a wonderful boardwalk to enjoy the scenery. We love the funky fireplace that is thermostatically controlled! We slept almost ten straight hours so that tell you about the quiet and peace. A lovely breakfast burrito arrived in a hanging basket outside our door. We are going back for our anniversary.
