Great seaside hotel

We used this hotel for the starting and stoping point of our 26-mile hike on the Lost Coast. It was a wonderfully charming spot with amazing views. The rooms were lean and well supplied, and the process was managed very well. We also had breakfast at the cafe after our hike, and we loved the food, coffee, and the service. Highly recommend.

Fantastic Stay

Oceanfront Inn at Shelter Cove was the perfect place for us to stay in Shelter Cove. While the outside is unassuming, the inside was very nice and larger than expected with first rate ocean views. Convienent location with a cafe on the ground level that puts you within walking distance to the golf course and brewery. Would defenitly recomment.

Shelter Cove ocean view room

Drive to shelter Cove was brutal. Location of hotel was good but the description of the room was inaccurate. Panoramic view was parking lot, front lawn and large pine tree. Ocean view was seen when standing in a certain spot in the room and observing a small wedge of ocean. The room was clean and comfortable but overall disappointing.

Wow! I loved it here with ocean view!!! Comfy bed and very clean! We highly recommend to bring your own food because there aren’t that many choices, and there is no grocery store! But with the ocean and deer everywhere, it makes up for it! Service was fabulous!!!

Beautiful coastline. Dated hotel but exquisite access to views and beach. The self checkin is a bit of an issue as not all the codes are getting sent with the welcome emails. But the staff are friendly and the food otoios in the community, including the coffee shop, are excellent. But ultimately it’s all about the unparalleled scenery!

We stayed at the Oceanfront Inn at Shelter Cove for one night because we didn’t know what to expect. Now we need to comeback and stay a few more nights! What a gorgeous location and beautiful property! We loved it all! Your accommodations were great. They are not kidding by saying oceanfront… the waves were 30 feet from our balcony! We had a beautiful corner room with windows on 2 sides and enjoyed watching the sunset sitting on our balcony. We used the Keurig, microwave, refrigerator, and space heater and all worked out great. The bed was very comfortable and, specially after soaking in the hot tub in the room for a while, we slept like babies!! We didn’t use the restaurant this time, but will do next time we come back for more days! Thanks again for a wonderful stay!!

The hotel is a bit run down. Front door was half painted, lots of things are rusty and weathered, the slider is very difficult to operate. The bed is hard and old, the pillows are flat. The heater on the wall does not work so you get to use a small space heater. Redeeming qualities are the location, just leave the slider open and listen to the waves. Also, the jacuzzi tub is pretty awesome.

Don’t stay here

First of all the photos of the property shown on the website must be 20 years old. The building itself is very worn looking actually close to shabby. The room accommodation itself is minimalist. The television was impossible to operate. I never was able to get anything but the golf channel.
