It’s a beautiful beach community away from all the hustle from the Bay Area.

Love this beach community and will be back just not this hotel.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Nice, quiet, beach area, yet still really close to the city. Devils Slide is the place to go to watch the sunset behind the Pacific Ocean. It will change your life.
