Ambience with a view

Amazing location, with a spectacular view from the room. Fall a sleep to the sound of waves breaking on the beach. Perfect spot to watch the sun set and enjoy your morning coffee. Very comfortable beds.

It was a magical experience being right on the ocean.

We woke up every morning to the sound of breaking ocean waves. People were so friendly and helpful.

Cant beat the location! Awesome very accommodating staff when we were unsure of the time of arrival. Also appreciated the updated gate entry since we were there last.

Windows were pretty hard to open and close. Sink hot water faucet in the unit bathroom kept sticking and running for a long time, wasting water.

Beautiful location with a private beach. Lovely scenery like straight out of a movie.

We made a 3 weeks California round-trip and were in 8 different Hotels. This was the definitely the one which was special in a positive way. The whole location, although pretty old and loads of renovations needed, was just gorgeous and beautiful. The scenery right at a small private beach with its historic light house (which is still in duty) was like a perfect movie location. If you look for a nice location with lots of privacy and silence it is the best place to go. We enjoyed our time very much and it slowed us a bit down after other locations like Las Vegas

Even though charming buildings there are renovations needed. As the Hotel is run by a non-profit organization this is probably a funding issue.

Not up to standard but a lovely location. Very run down.

the property and lighthouse is very run down. the toilet was falling off the wall. everything needs updating and a good scrub. The smell in the apartment was not good. this was over 200 per night and so I did expect more. The location was breathtaking. I do think this could be completely redone and be a fabulous wedding venue with rooms. I wouldnt choose to stay here again.

The views from the bedrooms was gorgeous
