We found the Whale Watch Inn very comfortable and pleasant. Our host was ready with a glass of wine after a long drive up the coast in the rain. We had everything we needed during our stay. The breakfast each morning was delivered exactly when they said it would be and it was very nice. The jacuzzi tub was perfect with plenty of hot water. The view of the coast from our room was amazing. My only regret was that we couldn't stay longer.
Great place to stay and relax

When we arrived we were greeted and made to feel welcome from the first moment. The staff were all very polite and willing to make sure our stay was what you would expect from a high quality place. The rooms were great and the view of the ocean couldn't have been any better. There were steps you could take to get down to the beach which was really nice. We saw a bunch of Whale and a bunch of Sea Lions as well as a few Red Tail Hawks. This place was so peaceful we plan on returning about every 3-4 months. The Whale Watch Inn will now be our place to get away and relax. Having been to many places on the coast looking for that one place we could fall in love with, We finally found it here. I would recommend this place to everyone!!!
Outstanding value, excellent food, beautiful views!
