Location is awesome. Property is nice. Keeping in mind it is an older, quaint, independent property on the CA coast - this place is great for a stay along a drive up/down the coast. It’s not fancy; however it has everything you need including a view!

They have a car charger level 2 on site which is helpful for topping off before you head up into Big Sur if you own an EV. It's about a 5-minute walk to a beach and a beautiful sunset.
