Ed & Janine, the owners, are very welcoming and gave us usefull information about activities and sights. We really loved our room (room number 9!), nicely decorated, the kingsize bed was very...

This is an old motel with humble furnishings. However, it is comfortable, clean, recently painted and included everything we needed. The owner was extremely nice and very helpful in informing us about what to do in the surrounding area. If we're ever in the area again, we'd stay there again. Be sure to walk down the street to the bluff... More

My husband, daughter and I stayed 3 nights at the Shell Beach Inn in September. The exterior of the motel is very cute and seems to have been updated recently. The rooms were a little bit dated, with the brown shag carpeting... which seemed to be clean, but probably should be replaced soon. The bathrooms seemed to have been updated... More

We really enjoyed this little hotel. After years of going to the beach my husband and I were surprised we did not find this place earlier. Cute decor, friendly owners, very close to a nice trail along the cliffs facing the ocean, and quiet. We will definitely be back, it's a great value and a very nice little getaway for... More

I love The Shell Beach Inn. I have stayed there a number of times and always keep coming back. It is close to everything, especially the beach. The owners are such great people and go "that extra mile" to make sure you are comfortable and every thing is in working order in your room. I plan to stay at The... More
