Guest Reviews

Great place. Wish this was my home. Saw whales with binoculars provided by hotel (required patience!) bathtub on balcony was super nice. Comfy robes. Amazing shower

- Jeet Bhaidasna

Absolutely amazing place. The location is just far enough to be private but also close enough to many amenities. Breathtaking views off your private balcony. We unfortunately didn’t see any whales but I guess that’s a good excuse to go back!

- Mariah Brake

I'd say this honestly is really 4.5. We didn't quite get the original room we booked, but they did do their best. Bigger, but less of a view. Would've been something for them to communicate or offer compensation for the mistake for the price. Good thing it was a short stay. We'd consider this again.
