It you know Shelter Cove, then you’ll own enough that this is a great place to stay. It’s a different town than most. I have a strange affinity for it. Would stay here again.

Ocean Front Inn looks great on line, but is not well maintained. Bedroom window shade would not drop. Dishwasher d was not working. View window onto ocean was very dirty. Check in was by envelope, but instructions did not include a map of the property. No grab bar in bathtub. The kitchen was well equipped with good appliances, a good selection of pots,, pans and kitchen tools, and good silverware., Refrigerator and stove were excellent.

This is my second stay inside of a month. The first time the room was as depicted on the internet. This time we were placed in the wheelchair accessible room. We did not request or reserve it. It was a shock when we entered. We had to contend with loud revealers from the bar during the night. My husband got up and opened the door and they moved on. Then at 6 am the kitchen crew in the adjacent restaurant came in and blasted their music so loud, the bass thumping kept us awake after that. Rough night 🙁

A Hidden Gem
Our family loved everything about our stay. We fell asleep to the sounds of the ocean, and woke up to seal, otter, dolphin, deer, and turkey vulture viewing from our balcony. The small restaurant/coffee shop was spectacular. You really can’t beat this place. We toured the small town and had no regrets about our choice. You must also go to the local brewery/restaurant in town. It has outdoor live music, games, and of course delicious food.

Let’s start with the positive- the view is exceptional. The Inn is very run down. My biggest complaint is upon entering the room, there was a horrible smell. Turns out it was a gas leak from the furnace. Yikes. The manager (?) walked me through shutting off the gas and provided a small electric heater. The balcony was dirty, the screen door was coming off, there is a cut PVC pipe used to lock the balcony slider. Etc.

Location was great. The room was clean. Access to shelter cove itself is through winding roads and made it an adventure, especially for folks from Texas.😊 There are no elevators, so make sure you are able to move your luggage up and down the stairs. Overall, an awesome experience.

It was a cool experience, but too secluded fot us. We never saw anyone that worked at the hotel the whole time we were there. Had to call a number to get a code to get into our room. No one was there for checkout.

Will never find a better view and can walk to a beautiful beach cove and whale watch. Truly magnificent! No AC, but not necessary with the ocean breezes. While town closes early, so bring food!

The property manager was so helpful and kind. The property itself needs a little TLC but the location is gorgeous, but be prepared for a narrow curvy road woth steep incline/decline. We saw seals, deer, a variety of birds, sea urchins, crabs. It was a pleasant stay.

The road to get to this property is no joke! The write up on Shelter cove road is spot on. At the end of the road is a hidden gem. Black sand beaches, and quite a view. The property was going thru some renovations, but our room was spacious and clean. Open the door to your balcony, and the ocean is right there. Breakfast at the cafe was also very good, it’s not included with the room.
