Cute breakfast basket delivered in the morning. Enjoyed the view of cows on the hillside behind the property (across the highway). Moonstone Beach was glorious - steps away across the street. Such a sweet place for a relaxing get away.

Loved the location - right across from the beach. Loved that you had a code to get into the room instead of a card that could demagnetize at an inopportune time. Rooms spacious.

6/10 Good

Rm 114 was warm and stuffy upon arrival. Had to leave the door ajar to get fresh air inside. Tried to get the air circulating with the air conditioner without much success. The small fridge (stored in the closet) froze all my food (turned the dial from 'off' to 'on' (0 to 1)) overnight on day one.The fridge door was crammed so tight against the wall that the door scratched the wall of the closet. The microwave needed two minutes to heat water in a cup for a cuppa tea or coffee. And the bed mattress was 'springy' in feel. Definitely did not feel like home. Shower had hot water though, thankfully. The site is quiet at night. Suggest they open windows before guest check-in. And replace the appliances!!!

Enjoyed My Stay at Sea Otter Inn

Overall, a very good stay. I just wished the carpet between the beds had been cleaner and the shower head offered more flexibility. The staff were kind and helpful. The beds were comfortable and clean, and the room had a charming look. It was also nice to have access to the outdoor pool and hot tub.
