Ocean View Inn

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."

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."

"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."

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!"

"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!"
