Inn Of The Lost Coast

10/10 Excellent

"We love the stars at night with our view. We have stayed a couple times now and each room is unique. The beaches are nearby. I suggest bring your shade umbrella for the black sands beach. The Venezuelan food across from our room might have been good had anyone that worked there acknowledged us upon entering and waiting about five minutes. No biggie. We ended up with pizza. It’s okay! The bar chairs in the rooms need reupholstering. The lady at the desk is very sweet and very kind. Love the vibe."

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful trip to shelter Cove! The house was spacious and the kitchen was very well stocked! We enjoyed the back patio and the game room with the ping pong table. We loved the huge shower and jetted tub! Black sands beach is very close but a very steep walk, so we walked the first day but decided to drive the second time. The house number was really hard to see-it blended in with the trim! But the house was easy to find and a great location. Overall, we highly recommend this property for a quiet, peaceful getaway!"
