Inn Of The Lost Coast

8/10 Good
"The major issue in staying here was the road taken to the coast to reach the hotel. It is a terrible, winding road. To make matters worse you need to take the same road when you leave. There is nothing the hotel can do about the road but it certainly is a negative. The choice of restaurants is limited to about 2."

Oceanfront Luxurious Home, Pet Friendly, Hot Tub, Fly In and Walk from Airstrip

Oceanfront Luxurious Home, Pet Friendly, Hot Tub, Fly In and Walk from Airstrip

10/10 Excellent
"The views are stupendous. The kitchen is the nicest kitchen we've experienced in a vacation rental. Not only are the appliances and space above average (eg sub-zero fridge, 2nd sink), but it is well equipped with quality cookware, large cutting boards, my favorite vegetable peeler, etc. Great amenities for fun family vacation--pool table in the living room, ping pong in the garage, hot tub, tidepools feel like they are in your backyard. Plenty of private spaces for alone time and great spaces for gathering as a group. The only thing that would be challenging for some guests is the 3 levels, lots of stairs. One bedroom suite on ground level, two suites on 2nd level, and kitchen and living room plus half bath on 3rd level. For us, the stair workout was fun, but could be hard for some."

10/10 Excellent
"We had an absolutely wonderful stay and would happily book this home again. It was the perfect place for our family. It was comfortable, clean, beautifully maintained, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed. After long days of exploring the Lost Coast, it was so nice to come back to a place that truly felt like home. The location was fantastic. We loved being close to everything Shelter Cove has to offer while still enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The golf course setting made for a relaxing place to unwind, and it was a great home base for visiting Black Sands Beach, tide pooling, and exploring the area with our kids. Our host was also fantastic. She was incredibly responsive, friendly, and easy to communicate with throughout our stay, which made everything seamless from check-in to check-out. We made some wonderful family memories here and couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. We highly recommend this home and will definitely be back!"
