We wish we could have stayed longer. The property was beautiful and location was perfect after a long day. It has plenty of amenities and the breakfast was a perfect way to start a long day of hiking.
Unfortunately there’s really nowhere to walk. The street is too narrow to walk into the village and there’s no beach access. But the property has stunning views and the cabins are cozy and fully appointed. As long as you don’t mind driving half a mile to town or to other areas, the stay itself is very nice and comfortable.
Greetings!
My wife and I had such an amazing stay at Agate Cove Inn! We loved the cozy accommodations but staying in the Obsidian Room put it way over the top!! We also loved the convenience and closeness that the Inn is to town. We will most definitely be back, and will tell everyone who asks all about our awesome stay. Oh yeah and the scrumptious homemade chocolate chip cookies were a nice treat to come back to every evening !
Many Thanks,
Brent & Amanda Y

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Staff was great. I feel bad but I really don’t have anything great to say about the property and the shape it is in. Way overpriced for what is advertised and what the experience it was. It could be a great place but is is really dated in every way.
My mom and I had an amazing stay here. The staff was friendly, the rooms were clean, and the property is simply beautiful. The buffet breakfast is probably my favorite i've ever had. Definitely try the Chia Pudding if you can, it was delicious!
The ocean view scenery was lovely. The garden was beautiful. Microwave too high and awkward. Bathroom and coffee station pretty tight but had jacuzzi
Biggest problem was that we came after 5pm and couldn’t access room because there we were out of the internet range by the coast. We had to go back into town to download information. So be prepared if you are arriving after hours. Had electric chargers too!
Lovely location, easy to get around. Excellent breakfast with wonderful views. Fairly priced and safe. Beautiful gardens. Didn’t give a five as housekeeping less than attentive and room was not serviced. Had to ask for towels. But we would return and recommend as everything else was perfect.
