    The inn is very charming with a warm, intimate feel. It still feels like the California coast, however, because the rooms are in different buildings, all with doors to the outside, nestled into the landscape. Best of all, the inn is a few minutes walk down to the beach. You can hear the ocean from where you are staying.

    Very cute loved the courtyard and Dutch front door and being able to see the ocean from top of stairs. Staff recommended place to eat which was right down from the Inn @ Brophys Tavern. Convenient parking spot at the Inn . We will definitely stay next time we are in town. Great value

    Wasnt sure what to expect as the pictures I saw suggested one thing (cheap for the area and time, and cheap for a reason) but boy was I wrong (or perhaps the pictures I saw were wrong). So imagine this inn / hotel as a collection of cabins spread out with gardens, outdoor yard to sit out in the evening, and peaceful n quiet. The cabin itself is rustic in style (it seems to be a style for this area) but so comfortable and more personalable than a hotel. Would definitely not hesitate to recommend this place!
