Fantastic stay.

Patio chairs provided to watch the waves and the sunset. The fireplace made the spacious room, cozy.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Adorable property off the coast
Toublong, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not worth the high price.

Did not enjoy our stay here the rooms are very dated bathrooms cabinets are chipped the heater doesn’t work without the fireplace on but no instructions on how to operate. The housekeeping was non existent but you could ask for extra towels. But the girls would congratulate outside our window and talk which woke us up both mornings. We left a day early without a refund.
