We saw and heard sea lions from the sea shore adjacent to the property. Our sweet had very comfortable beds and easy parking. There are three suites that require trickier back into park down a narrow lane. That might be easy for some but I was glad our parking was easier. Hope to return some time.

Stayed for only a night while travelling for work in the area. No complaints at all. Really nice location, steps from the beach. The check-in and check-out are so easy and fast. Park in front of your room. Full kitchen. Very clean and organized. I’m glad I stayed there. I can see myself returning to this place.
