Five Stars across the board, especially the friendly, helpful, professional staff. Beautiful views from every room, well maintained grounds, and a nightly Wine Pour to bring on the Pacific Sunset. Easy walks along the trail to town resources both to the north and the south. High praise and high recommendations for the Inn at the Cove.
