The location was very remote but everything we needed to relax. I loved the location and the view of the ocean. They had a restaurant on the first floor which was good. If you need a getaway this is it! Bring your book and a blanket to enjoy the ocean. It’s dog friendly too!

View was amazing!! Woke to the sea lions barking which was very cool. Not from the area so was surprised no AC but understood why as the evening set it… not needed. The walls were being repaired pending to be painted …. But room clean. We were on the 3rd floor which for views it was great but for carrying luggage up 3 flights of stairs not do good. Cafe below was amazing and a plus as there is not much else around.

Best 1 night stay ever. Jacuzzi was perfect for 2. Views are incredible. Town is very quiet and nice. Definitely make sure you have your breaks checked before you drive there though. It’s almost all downhill and curvy. Breaks smelled like they were ready to burst into flames when we arrived lol.
