The maverick room was amazing, with the jacuzzi, view & all. I was there while a storm was raging, which made the stay even more spectacular. Breakfast-room-service was also Perfect. I can imagine this is a great getaway for couples who want to spend time together.

Lovely building and pleasant garden on walking distance from the wonderful Moss Beach (4 mins on foot through a cypress forest) with a year-round harbour seal colony. Fantastic weekend escape. Staff were welcoming, rooms were large with minimalist furnishing, spotless in every aspect. Small but great breakfast, centred generous helpings of fresh fruit.

It is impossible for me to overstate how amazing this place is. It is the very definition of a luxury accommodation. They literally thought of everything. The location is perfect. The beds are comfortable. Each room has a TV and it's own temperature control. There is room to spread out and it has one of the best equipped kitchens I have ever seen in a vacation rental.

    The room was very nice. The breakfast was good but it was continental (no eggs or breakfast meats). Parking and room access were super good and even though the hotel is on the Pacific Coast highway our room was very quiet. Beach access is just minutes away via walking with the trail starting in the NW corner of the parking lot.

    The view from is full on ocean & we saw whales right from our deck! Very quiet. The owner was very accommodating. Easy beach access, and a great restaurant next door.

    Driving up to this hotel I was so pleased with the appearance, the beauty of the outside sure matched the inside! We booked two ocean view junior suites in total three adults and four children were with us during our stay. Check in was done later in the evening with two exceptionally polite front desk women. The rooms were immaculately clean, view was beautiful from our sliding glass window and there was beach access by way of stairs at the end of the hotel. Great place to book for a romantic vacation getaway.
