Loved the location - right across from the beach. Loved that you had a code to get into the room instead of a card that could demagnetize at an inopportune time. Rooms spacious.

Enjoyed My Stay at Sea Otter Inn

Overall, a very good stay. I just wished the carpet between the beds had been cleaner and the shower head offered more flexibility. The staff were kind and helpful. The beds were comfortable and clean, and the room had a charming look. It was also nice to have access to the outdoor pool and hot tub.

Nice place!

Place is very nice. The room was clean and very large. Two features really important to us — walk-in shower and hypo-allergenic bedding. It’s a little dated, but I’ll take that over some of the marginal places we have stayed on Moonstone Beach.
