Nice small hotel, friendly staff, easy and quick checking in/out. Love the morning basket breakfast delivery in front of the room but wish there would be more choices (ex. Scrambled eggs instead of just hard boiled eggs). Comfortable bed, clean bedsheets and bathroom, wooden floor so no old carpet odor. Although we don’t use the pool and hot tub since it’s a bit chilly they need more maintenance. Convenient walk to the beach (less than a minute). Quiet, relaxing and beautiful scenery. Will definitely be back.

Great location (cross from Moonstone trail). The room was clean & updated. Front desk crew were very friendly. You pick your breakfast the night before and they deliver it to your room in a basket following morning. Very cute gesture. We will definitely go back.

The property is nice, older, but acceptable. remodel of bathroom, the cupboards were missed but that is understandable as I am familiar with remodel. They could be improved, painted, our had lots of nicks. Shower turned on the rain down with cold in beginning, understand, limited options in older place.

Awesome place for a romantic weekend

My husband and I went for just a simple overnight and it was amazing. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Very responsive. It was pouring down rain outside so my husband and I hung out in our room with a beautiful fireplace and cozy beds. We played games, drink wine, and just relaxed. In the morning, we were delivered a beautiful picnic basket with breakfast. we had a choice of what we wanted to order the night prior. My husband ordered a yogurt, parfait with granola, orange juice and two hard boiled eggs while I had Cheerios two hard boiled eggs and fruit. We both got orange juice. It was delightful. Check in and check out with very smoothly. The rooms are clean. The beds are comfortable. The pillows are awesome and the shower actually works. This will be on a new place every couple of months. They also have a pool and a hot tub. I highly suggest having dinner at the sea chest restaurant where you will find fresh fish choices, an amazing staff and a good wine selection. All in all this little overnight trip was exactly what the doctor ordered.

It is quaintly charming, old-fashioned, but well-kept. The Pacific Ocean is across the street with a wonderful boardwalk to enjoy the scenery. We love the funky fireplace that is thermostatically controlled! We slept almost ten straight hours so that tell you about the quiet and peace. A lovely breakfast burrito arrived in a hanging basket outside our door. We are going back for our anniversary.

We loved everything about the Sea Otter Inn. The picnic basket breakfast delivery was adorable and the food was just as good! I think the only negative thing I could say about it is that the bed we had was a bit uncomfortable.

It was so peaceful and charming. I highly recommend if you need a retreat from your busy life. Across the street is the most beautiful ocean views and walk path. I took three walks a day.
