Absolutely loved our stay. Stay as many days as possible. We stayed two nights and wished for more. Lounged by the pool literally all day, took our own drinks and cooler and snacks. The views are breathtaking. Slept like a baby with the windows open listening to the waves crashing. All rooms have a view of the ocean. Beach is not accessible but you have the pool. Watched dolphins and sea lions. Seagulls were a hoot, don’t leave your plate unattended LOL, they will steal your food. Breakfast is continental, only protein are boiled eggs. Lunch menu is typical American and fair price. Dinner is a little pricey. Brunch Sat and Sun. Monday restaurant is closed. Rooms do not have a/c but you don’t need it. Rooms have fridge and TV. Really enjoyed our stay!

I stayed at this property a few years ago and it was very enjoyable. This time around, the property looks run down, the rooms don’t have AC so it was stuffy. The carpet at the restaurant smells. The continental breakfast had frozen fruit and yogurt. The view is amazing but the property needs some TLC.

Cliff house has an amazing view and a wonderful salt water pool. The room was good and spacious but the shower temperature would rapidly fluctuate between hot and cold. Parking can also be a bit of a problem especially when the attached restaurant is doing dinner service.

Not as nice as I wanted

The rooms are getting a little tired, they could use some upgrading. It was not as clean as I like, cobwebs under furniture, toilet wobbled when you sat down on it. The view was exceptional as well as the pool area. The dining tables were a little close to the pool for my comfort but others did not seem to mind

This place is definitely a hidden gem. Me and my husband enjoyed the stunning view especially being right on the ocean. This will now be on our list of places to stay and visit every summer. All the staff were very friendly and kind. They did their best to accommodate us. Thank you for having us and see you again soon’
