Good if you want to be at the beach a a lot. Really nice community and property hospitality. However, there is no air conditioning on the property, only heater. So be careful going during the summer.

Beautiful location right across the street from a beautiful beach and tide pools. It almost felt as if we were camping, there was plenty of outdoor seating and amenities like volleyball net and firepit. Room was recently renovated but the bathroom was still a little outdated but do-able. The water was either too hot or too cold but other than that one of my favorite stays!

Location is great. lodging very out dated has odd smell. The firewood to keep room warm burns out fast and you need to buy more wood or sleep bundled ups.

Overall the property and rooms were good. We enjoyed the historic beauty and close proximity to the beach. We never found the pool so we didn't use it. There was a wedding event happening and we could hear the thumping of the music in our room. The shower kept dripping all night even though we turned it all the way off.

Great last minute addition to our Spring Break. The location was beautiful and accommodating for what we needed. The rooms are dated but clean. For the price, we would definitely book again with friends and family. The grounds have a lot of potential and from what we could see, history. We loved the lodge feel. Wish we had more time to explore.

Needs cleaning, slept about two hours because of the upstairs neighbors being so loud, the bathtub did not drain, ice machine was broken. On the other hand, the back patio and environment was natury and allowed for some great, calm moments to myself.

Amazing grounds, tons of staff visible, but no one's actually seeming to do anything. Only two EV chargers, both of which are in various states of function and overused and slow. Rooms are abysmal, this is honestly the reason anyone should avoid this place. The location is truly exceptional, but the rooms are from the 1930s and look like they've not been cleaned or maintained since then. Asked multiple times asked for refills of toiletries, never happened over four days. Lots of insect in room. Faucets didn't work. Broken coffee machine. Seriously unacceptable. Great place to be for conference / cafe/ fireplaces and views. terrible place to stay in rooms/beds.

There was no housekeeping service after night one of our two night stay, that was surprising. The most disappointing was the breakfast food, it was shockingly bad. We had to go offsite on day two. Overall a really great location and vibe on the property, would certainly recommend if food and service improve.

Beautiful, rustic campus just a few minutes walk from state beach. Gorgeous natural setting. Simple king bed room showed it's age, but it has high ceilings and picture windows, and was roomy and comfortable. There are two free EV chargers on site, but with the prevalence of electric vehicles in CA, they were in constant use during our stay.
