Beware of what you are getting for the Price

The views are amazing in any weather! The pictures on the website make the rooms look like luxury rooms but they are just a step up from a Motel 6, a little more sq footage. Also the room you think you booked is not necessary the room you will get. We were told that there must be a glitch in the two systems between Hotel.com and the one they use. But the views will take your breath away any time of the day/night that we would book again but know what we are getting in a room.

Simy and his staff were just perfect from the time we checked in until we checked out 6 days later. No words are available to describe the beauty of Shelter Cove, CA. We had two days of sunshine while the last 4 days were cloudy, but that did not matter. Shelter Cove and The Inn at Lost Coast was heaven on earth. With our window open every night, we were able to hear the majestic Pacific Ocean from our room. We celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary during this stay and was treated to a complimentary bottle of bubbly from the staff. Highly recommend The Inn at Lost Coast and the village of Shelter Cove.
