The location is magnificent, Shelter Cove is an amazing place. The apartment, on top of the cliff overlooking the ocean, close enough to hear the roaring of the waves throughout the night. The footpath down to the beach is a great bonus, a bit of a workout for me, but enjoyed the walk down and up again each day. The apartment is well equipped, fridge freezer, washing machine and dryer, dishwasher. Lots of plug sockets. Plenty of towels, shower gel etc Lovely bedrooms, plenty of hanging space. Great watching the sunset, then the stars in the sky from the hot tub.

-The location was precious! The sea views from the room and the grounds are poster-worthy. Short walk to black sand beaches. Tidepools nearby. A tiny community that feels a world away from my daily cares. -The innkeeper has done a great job furnishing each room with unique pieces. She is hospitable without being intrusive and gave us local insights on where to go and what to do. -The bed was SO comfortable that after coming home and sleeping in my own bed, I immediately decided to buy a new bed! -The room we stayed in (Queen Room) is like a studio apartment with full kitchen, living room area, bed area, and private patio / deck. Perfect for a couple's getaway into privacy and seclusion on the coast!

The road to Shelter Cove to the "Black Sands Inn" is challenging and winds for about 20 miles. On the day of our arrival, we still didn't have an access code for self-check-in by 4 p.m., so before we took the road to Shelter Cove, we called the hotel's hotline, which confirmed our booking and assured us that the access code would be sent to us immediately by email. When we arrived at the "Black Sands Inn," we realized there was absolutely no smartphone reception. We tried calling the hotline, but we didn't get a signal, possibly because our phone provider is in Germany, and the transmission wasn't working at that location. We asked guests, who gave us the hotel's Wi-Fi password, but it didn't work, so we started to panic, as it was already after 5 p.m. ``` Luckily, we found a free "Starlink" while searching for Wi-Fi – only to discover that we hadn't received an email with a room number or an access code. An American couple lent us their smartphone, which we used to call the hotline again, and the necessary data was finally given to us directly over the phone. Two guests told us that they had experienced the same drama upon arrival and were also very upset about this situation, as the door locks are also very unreliable. This truly no service in providing room details and the lack of access data on the part of the hotel, and that guests knowing that there is no smartphone reception, is absolutely unacceptable. The suite itself, the location, and the cleanliness of the hotel are truly top-notch. Being able to see the Pacific Ocean and the wildlife from the living room window was fantastic. On the first evening, a guest knocked on our door because his door lock had locked and his access code no longer worked, but his smartphone was in the room. We gave the guest our smartphone, and he then had to get a new access code from the hotline.

    Love this place, beaches and views are great.

    Love this place, beaches and views are great. Try to catch it when it is not so foggy. Do not stay at The Inn of the Lost Cost. Run down and not maintained. overpriced. We had luxury spa suite, and the tub could not be used do to trickling hot water pressure. Told the manager within 15 minutes of us being there, he said he would call a plumber and get back to us. we were there for 3 days and never heard back from him and the problem was never fixed. Took 45 minutes to check in since the manager was not on site, office was wide open and nobody there. Had to call his cell and wait 30 min for him to come and help us. Asked for room to be cleaned on the 2nd day and maids said they forgot? Toilet kept plugging up and they had no plunger in the room, had to ask maids to fix.

    My wife and I only stayed one night, but I don't understand the draw of this place. The drive is long and wearing. My brakes were smelling when we arrived at the hotel and they had recently been changed with new rotors. It's a lot of downhill driving on a curvy road. The cove itself if pleasant and it's nice to see the sea lions. However, limited food options and unless you are camping, limited choices for staying the night and they don't come cheap.

    The rocky headlands were very nice and I spent quite a bit of time just hanging out watching to waves and birds. Didn't see any whales, but was told they have been around. The tide and waves were huge, so I didn't visit Black Sands Beach. I did spend some time on the south beach by the boat launch. It was nice, but people drive on it, which I don't care for. Ate at four different restaurants and for the most part they were okay.

    The drive is very, very windy and lots of potholes.

    The drive is very, very windy and lots of potholes. Travel during daylight. Of course, the view was excellent! The apartment was cute but in need of maintenance. This was advertised as a 2 bedroom. It is a 1 bedroom with a sofabed in the living room. The bed frame was broken. The dishwasher didn't work. The kitchen soap dispenser was broken and they left us a used sponge. The patio furniture was very wobbly, like the screws we very loose. Didn't feel safe. The throw pillows looked so used. It's a shame as it looks like a nice place but they do not pay attention to maintenance. The coffee pot is nice. K-cup or drip.Make sure to bring coffee grounds and condiments. Lots of deer to watch. I did love being so close to the ocean and the many, many deer. Bring your own food as there are not a lot of choices for breakfast and lunch. Great coffee bistro called Surp Point and a nice little bait shop that has a little bit of everything. The people in these shops are very friendly. I would go back, but stay somewhere else.

    Clean area, friendly people. Relaxing area. View of the ocean is almost EVERYWHERE. Can sit in your vehicle or use available picnic tables to enjoy the view. Lots of seals to enjoy watching & listening to them 'bark'.

    Friendly people, safe to walk on the beach or streets.

    Friendly people, safe to walk on the beach or streets. Since ALL the food is trucked in, its a bit pricey but all VERY good & tasty. You can go out on a Charter boat to catch your own fish or get fish caught daily at an eatery. You can walk to all the eateries or drive with plenty of parking. We enjoyed the ocean views and mountain views depending on which direction we looked. Being close enough to the ocean, could EASILY hear it from almost everywhere.
