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.

Jeremy, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice place!

Place is very nice. The room was clean and very large. Two features really important to us — walk-in shower and hypo-allergenic bedding. It’s a little dated, but I’ll take that over some of the marginal places we have stayed on Moonstone Beach.

Breakfast is very convenient, room is quiet and comfortable. Firepits are great. Good location

6/10 Good

Dated Inn, not too clean

Dated Inn. Dirty rug in the rooms, apart from that okay clean. Rooms a little rustic and simple. Front-desk not the friendliest. Sends way too advertising and spam emails.

Great trip. The people were very friendly

Loved the add-on breakfast delivered to our door. They also offer complimentary cookies and coffee in the lobby. Very nice pool, hot tub, and fireside seats. Easy walking distance to the beach and Moonstone Beach Bar & Grill.

It was cute and quaint.
Marin, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I like that they have a continental breakfast brought to your room every morning. They have fresh coffee in the office all day and fresh warm cookies in the afternoon. The housekeeping staff is very pleasant. The hotel is right across the street from the ocean. I wish they would keep the pool area open until 10:00
Lynn, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Excellent ocean view. Room is spacious and clean. Staff are friendly starting from reception to housekeeping. Only issue was weak WIFI.
Claudine, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Choose another site.

The room was clean. Decor seemed dated. Was not expecting to see so many guests with pets. Did not appeal to me as I do not like pets indoors. We were sitting outside on the little patios with fire pits. Person at front desk walked right by us and lit other fire pits for other guests and never did so for us. Tried opening window for ventilation and it kept sticking and never was able to reopen or totally close it. Room stuffy. Will try other facilities in same area. Will not rebook for this site.

Beautiful little hotel by the beach. Outside of the back door is cute little sitting area to enjoy your morning coffee and breakfast that is brought to your door. There is also a fire pit just outside your front door to enjoy the cool ocean air and the sounds of the ocean. We will definitely stay here when we are back in the area!
