Great view of the shore and ocean, very close to some of the few eateries in town -- two are attached to the same building as the Inn and the other is across the street. Kind and pleasant staff. We would definitely stay here again and for a few nights rather than just the one.

The view of the Pacific steals the show. The person at the hotel reception was incredibly friendly, polite, and courteous. The pizza restaurant is excellent. It is a difficult drive, as the road is winding and at a high elevation, but once you arrive, you can enjoy the view and the dark-sand beaches.

If you are looking for a STUNNING view and a place to completely clock out of modern life, this is it. There's a long and winding road to get there. I hope it's enough to keep this beautiful place off the beaten path forever. My only concern is the amount of smoking that's apparently OK on the property. Both tobacco and 420 smoke coming up from the grounds below my room were unpleasant intrusions to an otherwise glorious sunset.

The room was incredibly clean and immediately gave a comfy home vibe, as if I'd always lived there. The staff were kind and friendly, and the community in Shelter Cove overall were a treat to interact with. The Inn is right on the coast, so your backyard is basically a glorious view of the ocean and local wildlife via birds. The pizza place attached to the inn was pretty good, and though I didn't try the Bistro food, the staff helped me find the person I needed to check out with. It was overall, a 10/10 experience for me.

There was water leakage in the shower area and discoloration on the linoleum. A reddish discoloration indicative of mold. The deck was locked off because it seemed to have issues. This was a disappointing since the sunset from that deck was something we were looking forward to. Other than these maintenance issues it was a nice room and the location is excellent
