Love the Castle Inn

The location is the best! We love staying here for the beautiful view, inviting fire pit and swimming pool and spa. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. They have a small breakfast area that is clean and restocked during breakfast time. They have EV charging stations too.

Breathtaking ocean view and hospitality. From the moment we walked in, Jack, at the front desk set the relaxing, friendly, and welcoming vibe. The reservation instructions were detailed, yet we were pleasantly surprised how nice and clean our room was plus the ocean view, even with our little doggy with us. I love the bathroom has a window for fresh air. We love how Jack recommended good eateries near by, where the food and servers were equally as amazing. Jack is the best, even brought us some extra Castle Inn cookies by the fire pit at night with our friends. Love the swing and chairs plenty for everyone to enjoy the views. Hot breakfast each morning was great. So thankful our friends shared this favorite jewel of theirs with us. We can't wait to come again.

Nice property right along the ocean. Got in late, so didn’t have time to enjoy the pool or jacuzzi…but looked nice. Room was average. Bathroom was fairly small though. Breakfast options were good

Good size clean room with comfortable bed. There were chairs so that you could sit immediately outside the room to watch the ocean, and in our case a terrific lightening display. Did not use the pool. Good restaurant next door and another a few hotels walk along the road. Only negative was breakfast which was very basic, bagels, toast, basic cereals, only fruit was an apple and all in a room which isn't really big enough.

Lovely modern room, very clean. BUT there is no sound proofing between rooms. Noise from surrounding rooms is terrible. Don’t stay there unless you’re prepared to put up with it. At a cost of £225 for one night I would have expected to not have to listen to other people’s noise
