    Situated on a bluff across from the beach, West Cliff Inn is a Four Sisters Inn and was built as a private home in 1877. Fully remodeled two years ago, the stately, three-story Italianate Victorian with its spacious, wraparound porch features a breezy, coastal décor with fabrics in crisp blues and whites. All but one of the ten well-appointed guest rooms feature a fireplace, marble tile bathrooms, and most with jetted spa tubs and king beds featuring plush pillow-top mattresses. One second-floor room has a private, outdoor jetted hot tub; two spacious top-floor suites have separate sitting areas and oversized bathrooms. Each room has high-speed Internet access, an iPod™ player, and a television with a DVD player.

    Dream House

    April 29, 2013

    I love this historical house and room. But there is no elevator so it is difficult for us to lift the heavy luggages upstairs. The Bon Apetite Package is very deserved to try with Shadow Brook~

    This is a case where the pictures on their website are beautiful and the actual inn is even better. The West Cliff Inn has great charm. Rooms are very large. The marble bathrooms are terrific. The entire place is immaculate. Wonderful location, convenient to everything. The staff is helpful, but not imposing. We will be back.

    Four Sisters, Five Stars

    April 12, 2013

    Stayed at the West Cliff Inn for the 1st 2 nights of an anniversary trip. Stayed in room 6 on second floor front. Had a small view of the beach beyond the balcony. Cozy room, beautifully decorated, with king bed, gas fireplace, huge closet, spacious bathroom with very deep jetted tub/shower combo. Staff was friendly & willing to help with directions, etc. Refrigerator in reception area for guests to use & access to kitchen for ice. Beach, wharf & boardwalk are a short walk with lots of restaurants & entertainment. Hope to go back for a longer stay someday!

    Our First Time

    April 12, 2013

    This was our first time staying at a Bed and Breakfast and it won't be our last. The rooms were charming and the view from our room was exactly like the picture shown. The food was exceptional and the wine delightful. The location of the property was perfect for taking walks along the beach or bike rides along the coast to watch the surfers, sea lions, dolphins and otters. The cleanlines of the property and grounds were superb. The value unbelievable. We stayed two nights and got the second night free. Overall our impression was "wow". We would highly recommend this place and would like to try the other Four Sisters Inn if we are ever in the area.

    Great location

    April 11, 2013

    I was able to book this B&B on a special "2 for 1" - two nights for the price of one. A fantastic value and a lovely place to stay. Although I was on the first floor, near reception desk and dining area, it was quiet. Food was good, very hospitable staff.

    Great location, charming B&B

    April 08, 2013

    My husband and I recently stayed here for an overnight "baby moon"--a last getaway before our baby arrives. We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the West Cliff Inn! Our room wasn't quite ready yet when we arrived, so we grabbed a complimentary cookie and sat by the front window--a relaxing spot and great view! Our room was beautiful, and we really loved the large bath! I was expecting just a plain ol' continental breakfast in the morning, but it was delicious, with quiche, potatoes, muffins, and fruit to choose from. It's a bit of a splurge price-wise, but we were very happy with our stay.
