Top Shell Beach Hotel Reviews

Gualala Country Inn

Gualala Country Inn

10/10 Excellent
"We got there late due to the 1 being closed to fire so the keys were waiting in the late check in, and when we checked out the office was closed momentarily so I never actually interacted with the staff but they made it easy to check in and out anyway. The rooms were nice and had ocean views. They are older but in good shape and priced well for what they are."

Come take in the ocean, gaze at the starry skies, commune with nature.

"This is a beautifully decorated house stocked with every kitchen item you can think of. I’ve been to Sea Ranch many times and have never stayed on the east side of PCH and I am now wondering why not? Fir Hill Wood was just as peaceful and as close to everything. We enjoyed our hikes, the hot tub and happy hour watching the sun set on the deck. This property is a delight."

10/10 Excellent
"Aside from the incredible views this property offers, it is so thoughtfully and lovingly furnished that it was a joy to spend time there. The spacious, modern bathroom is an unexpected highlight. No freezer, so not to expect ice for your drinks. And you might pack a small plug-in night light for the bathroom. Otherwise, you will want for nothing."

"Great place with great views of the river and sea. The home is big inside. Much bigger than it appears from the outside. Easy location off Hwy 1. The kitchen had everything we needed. We’d stay here again for sure."

Pet-Friendly Designer Oceanfront 3B House with King Beds & Hot Tub & Outdoor Kit

10/10 Excellent
"The property was great, exactly as advertised, view is spectacular. And thank goodness for the wind-sheltered back patio with bbq, because I'm guessing our 3-day stay was one of the windier stretches of the summer. (as luck would have it, not a wind-wave on the ocean this morning when we left). All in all, we had a great time, thank you!"
