Pet-Friendly Amenities

The inn provides a welcome package for dogs that includes a bed, bowls, treats, a frisbee, and poop bags. Private cottages feature fenced yards for off-leash time, and the grounds include cleanup stations and disposal sites. A handwritten welcome note addressed to each pet accompanies the arrival supplies.

Accommodations

Guests stay in private cottages such as Cypress Cottage, Rose Cottage, and Water Tower Suite, many with ocean views and full kitchens. Each cottage includes a gas fireplace, down white linens, a pillow top mattress, and a telescope for ocean and night sky viewing. Select units offer a private hot tub inside an enclosed space with a rooftop deck overlooking the Pacific.

In-house dining serves local cuisine with generous portion sizes, available for lunch and dinner. A complimentary bottle of local wine welcomes each guest in their cottage. The inn also offers its own blend of coffee for guests to enjoy in-room.
