The Ship's Inn Bed & Breakfast


  • Inn Details

    Grand Victorian, originally built for a Sea Captain by a master shipbuilder, in 1887. Newly restored by a Navy family, keeping its Victorian Virtue but christened with nautical charm. A lovely Garden in back fully compliments the restorative nature of the Inn. Just a few blocks to historic OldTown, shops and restaurants but in a quiet, residential neighborhood. The Ship's Inn offers a peaceful retreat with breakfasts especially prepared to please.

    My husband and I recently took a vacation to CA for the first time. I read all the reviews about the Ship’s Inn and wanted to stay there. It was a cute house but the neighborhood was a little run down. The house was beautiful but also could use work. Genie was great and made a wonderful breakfast. If we get the chance again, we will stay there again.

    Innkeeper Response
    Thank you for your review. I appreciate you taking the time to comment and it's good to know you would like to return. It would help to know your observations on the work the house needs. We've been diligent inside and out but some cannot be done during busy season. The neighborhood is a quiet family area except for a couple of vacant lots which we always mention in our directions. I pay my gardener to keep what isn't fenced, mowed and the owner usually mows the rest. Please reply to me personally with your suggestions and Thank You! It will be nice to see you again.

    only cleaner and better service! Genie's breakfasts were a fabulous way to start the day- very fresh fare and the themed tablescapes were a delight. Our en suite room was very cozy and oh so quiet. Thanks again, Genie, for a wonderful stay. Larry & Patricia Vasquez

    This is a grand home where comfort abounds and Genie's breakfast was beyond description but I will try. I have no idea where she bought fresh blackberries in January and the yogurt was the best I have had. How she make yogurt better I have no idea but she did. And there was so much bacon, both of us commented on the amount (and for my husband to say there was a lot of bacon is unheard of). The bed was so comfortable with the best bedding! I could have stayed a month! I recommend this B&B to anyone that is going to or thru Eureka. Jenelle
