Nice getaway
Handicap room was very clean, modern and good looking. The location on the bay was perfect. From the chairs outside the room, we saw Harbor seals, sea lions, many kinds of birds, and lots of nice looking waves space crashing on the rocks. On the downside the room was pretty small no table only one chair. There where were chairs and table outside the room, but in inclement weather you have to stay in the room. I’d book again, but a bigger room. We we’re worried about the drive-in but the road is in good condition only very curvy and steep in places. it takes about an hour to drive from the highway down to the bay.

Amazing Black Sands Inn
This is the second time we have stayed at the Black Sands inn and I would definitely recommend it. No on site staff but everything you need is provided, location is amazing. We had a ground floor room and the guests upstairs were noisy so maybe an upstairs room would be better. Only complaint is the size of the trash can in the room (tiny) and porch light that is on constantly. But otherwise lovely beach rooms, great view of the ocean, love listening to the waves all night, awesome hot tub and lovely location.

Great place to sleep but some missing amenities
We loved sleeping to the sound of waves on a very good bed. If you have never been to Shelter Cove, know that the 20+ miles from Hwy 101 can be harrowing if it is dark, rainy, and foggy. We had no cell/Wi-Fi service so we didn’t know about needing a code to check in. We were glad to find a fridge with a real freezer. We were disappointed to discover we could not get a third bath towel (and the ones in the room were a bit skimpy), there was shampoo but no conditioner, there was no Kleenex, and no where to get ice. We found the TV remote confusing (volume control on the side?!) and there was no live/regular news.
