Top Gray Whale Cove State Beach Hotel Reviews

Ocean View Inn

8/10 Good

"Great room with lots of space ( 5*). Only reason it didn’t get 5* ratings overall is the road traffic in front. Not very pleasant to sit on patio because of that n even noisy inside. Maybe the back rooms are better but defeat the purpose of ocean view."

Secluded Forest Oasis - Your Ultimate Retreat Awaits!

10/10 Excellent

"Communication- the owner was very communicative and clear from start to finish.Cleanliness - the space was clean, just would recommend rinsing dishes before use since you don’t know the last time it was used and there may be dust.Home - beautiful architecture l, loved the fire pit for the family to gather, basketball court was a cool addition too!All in all, Great Experience and would highly recommend."

Oceanview Family Retreat with Saltwater Hot Tub – Steps from the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"The property was in a perfect location. We could explore the vineyards north of SF as well as some lovely spots to the south. The house was perfect for our family - providing lovely space. The hot tub was a treat for after a hike. We saw whales from the patio! The dishwasher was not working - but we had folks willing to take care of dishes. It was a wonderful week."

San Francisco Bay area: Elegant Pacific Ocean View, sleeps 10, gourmet kitchen

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the house, views are stunning, gourmet kitchen was great as our family loves to cook. Hot tub nice and hot. Beautiful artwork and furnishings. Excellent location."

Oceanview Beach Home – Walk to Beach, Trails, Food, Family Activities

10/10 Excellent

"The house is very nice, clean, and near the beach. The host was very easy to communicate with and always friendly, accommodating, understanding, and timely with responses to any issues I had. The house has nice views of the beach from the second floor. Plus, the host is pet friendly, which was key for us since we were there to compete in the World Dog Surfing Championships that weekend."

Relax And Enjoy The California Coast From This Lovely Private Suite

10/10 Excellent

"I so appreciate these hosts allowing our large, but well-behaved dogs. We loved turning on the little fire on the patio. I even saw a whale out in the ocean while I was sitting on the deck enjoying morning coffee. Husband and I loved walking the in neighborhood and on local trails. The neighborhood has a funky charm and character. Nice and quiet. And we hit up two dog-friendly restaurants in the area: Sam's Chowder House, and Moss Beach Distillery. Had a great time!"

Small Home with Ocean View walk to Restaurants, Brewery, Shops, Beach

8/10 Good

"Vote ew was amazing"

Cabo San Pedro - S.F. Ocean Views - Penthouse

8/10 Good

"Host was available right away when I got stuck on the tram (I bumped the emergency stop button on accident). She was kind and patient and very thorough to make sure we made it to the top. The views are stunning and the wall of sliding glass doors/windows keep it open and fresh . My only complaint is that the carpet could be replaced to make the place feel even brighter and cleaner. It’s definitely a memorable stay!"

Stunning Oceanview Coastal Home – Beach, Trails, Family Activities

8/10 Good

"Definitely my dogs hapoy place - the windows still are not fully operational - the vie s of the hiking trail are amazing and ease to hiking trail and the beautiful beach is what we go for and the quiet down time. However the yard could use some work although it was cut it was not swept up so lots of foxtails everywhere which are dangerous for dogs to inhale.. minimal upkeep so a little overpriced for the space but we keep going back because our boy The Bear loves looking out the windows and is familiar"
