The place was great in so many ways. The view and the beach and the sunset…. Just gorgeous. I never saw anyone who worked at the hotel. Apparently, ice is available in the office (according to the guide in the room), yet no one episode ever there, and there was nothing looking like a freezer. Again, the place is mostly great, just weird to never interact with a human once the booking was solid.

It you know Shelter Cove, then you’ll own enough that this is a great place to stay. It’s a different town than most. I have a strange affinity for it. Would stay here again.

Ocean Front Inn looks great on line, but is not well maintained. Bedroom window shade would not drop. Dishwasher d was not working. View window onto ocean was very dirty. Check in was by envelope, but instructions did not include a map of the property. No grab bar in bathtub. The kitchen was well equipped with good appliances, a good selection of pots,, pans and kitchen tools, and good silverware., Refrigerator and stove were excellent.

This is my second stay inside of a month. The first time the room was as depicted on the internet. This time we were placed in the wheelchair accessible room. We did not request or reserve it. It was a shock when we entered. We had to contend with loud revealers from the bar during the night. My husband got up and opened the door and they moved on. Then at 6 am the kitchen crew in the adjacent restaurant came in and blasted their music so loud, the bass thumping kept us awake after that. Rough night 🙁

A Hidden Gem
Our family loved everything about our stay. We fell asleep to the sounds of the ocean, and woke up to seal, otter, dolphin, deer, and turkey vulture viewing from our balcony. The small restaurant/coffee shop was spectacular. You really can’t beat this place. We toured the small town and had no regrets about our choice. You must also go to the local brewery/restaurant in town. It has outdoor live music, games, and of course delicious food.

Let’s start with the positive- the view is exceptional. The Inn is very run down. My biggest complaint is upon entering the room, there was a horrible smell. Turns out it was a gas leak from the furnace. Yikes. The manager (?) walked me through shutting off the gas and provided a small electric heater. The balcony was dirty, the screen door was coming off, there is a cut PVC pipe used to lock the balcony slider. Etc.
