“Beautiful Room!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 18, 2012

We stayed one night in the Montara Room, a corner king. The room was large and quite lovely. It was clean, decorated beautifully and had a wonderful view of the bay. The bathroom was also large and lovely and the soaking tub was heavenly. The basket of snacks was a very nice touch. It was within easy walking distance of many restaurants. I ordered the Anniversary/Honeymoon package. The wine that came with it was wonderful. The bottle of champagne was actually two small, cheap twist off bottles of sparkling wine that was undrinkable and that was my only disappointment. Other than that, it was perfect!

“Wonderful stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 16, 2012

We stayed one night in Mavericks 1 (corner unit with a patio). The room was huge with perfect bay views. The room was udpated, clean and has a wonderful bathtub! All the details are tended to, from a very comfortable bed to to-go coffee cups. The property is within walking distance to plenty of restaurants and was easy to find. As other travelers have said, if you are light sleeper, bring earplugs. We didn't have a problem with the fog horn, but I can see a light sleeper having trouble. Highly recommended Inn!

Thank you for your comments!

In regards to the Fog Horn, We know that 99% of our guests find the sound of the fog horn relaxing and peaceful. However, for those guests that are sensitive to sounds, we now provide in each room complimentary earplugs so everyone can enjoy their stay with us!

“Nice place”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed September 7, 2012

We stayed two nights in the Dunes room. It is an upstairs corner room with a good view of the harbor. The room is fairly large with a great bed! Quiet, too with the exception of the fog horn which we found curiously soothing. The bed was very comfortable. Owner very friendly.

“Great place, peaceful & perfect for starting a honeymoon”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 6, 2012 via mobile

Fabulous place, good size room, very clean, THE most comfortable bed ever - my husband didn't snore once! And a great bathroom. We loved the coffee machine (& French vanilla uht milk!) and the goodies basket that was topped up daily.
Can't fault it as it was perfect to wind down after a long flight (from London). We arrived to a foggy bay & the horn sounding but it just added to the atmosphere. The balcony & firepit was a nice addition too. We loved it!

“Amazing find.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 2, 2012

Sorry we were here for only one night! We had the Dunes room. Totally lovely. Decorating and quality of furnishings just first class. Bathroom a stunner. We had a great view of the bay. The fireplace added wonderful romantic atmosphere, and the room was equipped with everything we could have needed, Great fire pit we could light. Just a remarkable find.
