Everything was amazing. The cottage, staff, and views. Breakfast brought right to your cottage with a nice porch to sit on and eat, look out at the ocean and sunset. Quick 15 minute walk to the quaint downtown area. Would highly recommended!
If I could give Sea Rock Inn 10 stars I would! It is a truly special and exceptional place to stay in Mendocino. Our extended family stayed in several of the cottages for 4 days in late September. We stayed in both the lower and upper suites - which had stunning views of the ocean, and so much lovely space to spread out! My elderly parents stayed in the ADA accessible cottage and it was so easy for them! The daily breakfasts were *chefs kiss* - a different warm, unique egg dish, pastry, orange juice, coffee/tea delivered to your cottage each morning. Honestly, what's not to like? The BEST warm fresh brownies in the office every day. Coffee, water, tea whenever you like. We all gathered on the beautiful front lawn to enjoy a "cheers" with the most gorgeous ocean sunset right in front of us. Parking was easy, and we super appreciated the onsite EV charger. Towels, amenities, everything was clean and lovely in our rooms. There was a personal note and wine upon arrival, making us all feel so welcome. Each and every staff person was so professional and helpful, and I want to end this long review with a special shout-out to Katie, who answered my endless questions and needs with a prompt and courteous smile, every single time! We can't wait to go back. Amongst all the options in Mendocino, we will always choose Sea Rock Inn!

This was our first visit to the Mendocino coast, and we couldn’t have picked a better place to stay than Sea Rock Inn. The views alone made our stay memorable, but the staff made it exceptional. Every person we met was friendly and genuinely interested in making our vacation as enjoyable as possible. The breakfasts were delicious, too, and set a wonderful tone for each day.
