I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The decor was beautiful, the location was outstanding, and the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive throughout my visit. One of the highlights was the two ocean-view sundecks, which provided the perfect place to relax and take in the scenery. The property is conveniently located near both the marina and the beach, making it easy to enjoy everything the area has to offer. There are also numerous bars and restaurants within walking distance, which added to the overall experience. I would highly recommend this property and look forward to staying here again.

Amazing location, literally steps to the beach. The staff is very welcoming, friendly, and attentive. The rooms are superb, parisian beach vibes, especially the bathroom. The bed is very spacious and comfortable. The windows are semi operable, so you can let the wonderful and natural California weather in. Exquisite panaromic views from the outdoor rooftop areas. Counting the days to our next visit at Bay Shores Peninsula Hotel!
