Beautiful little hotel by the beach. Outside of the back door is cute little sitting area to enjoy your morning coffee and breakfast that is brought to your door. There is also a fire pit just outside your front door to enjoy the cool ocean air and the sounds of the ocean. We will definitely stay here when we are back in the area!

We loved everything about the Sea Otter Inn. The picnic basket breakfast delivery was adorable and the food was just as good! I think the only negative thing I could say about it is that the bed we had was a bit uncomfortable.
