I had a trip that was a mix of personal and business travel. I had to attend a funeral in Eureka and had a business meeting in Sacramento two days later. So I was looking for something at a midpoint along the coastal highway. What a fabulous place! Kevin and Mia are wonderful hosts. The trip through the mountain pass was tricky, but they had provided some directional guidance in advance which was very helpful. Upon arrival, Kevin and Mia came down to greet me and make sure everything was okay. I stayed in the Surfman Cove room, which had a beautiful Japanese soaking tub and a fireplace. The room and whole house decorating was very comfortable and quaint. I left the window open and there was a buoy bell way in the bay that clangs ever so lightly at night – it was very soothing. In the morning, Mia served us a quiche and fresh-fruit breakfast with wonderful flower decorations and great table conversation. There was only one other guest who left immediately after breakfast, so it gave me an opportunity to take pictures of all the rooms that I thought might be helpful to others. I could only post a few due to picture limit, but it will give you an idea of the look and feel. I also added three pictures of the property overall to give a flavor of the Inn and the Bay.
Overall, the area is very quaint and quiet. There is a nice restaurant/bar within walking distance down the hill as you go out to the pier. In town, there are many small shops and small, quality places to eat. The town sports all kinds of regular activities and special events to I would suggest checking first as to what is going on where so you can plan in advance what to do. Kevin and Mia both seem to know the town really well and can give you many tips and advice on the best places to go to eat out. But I was really looking for quiet time and it was absolutely there. That is what was nice to me – there are many things to do but if you want to do nothing, you can just relax and enjoy the quiet.
I really enjoyed their dog Winston, so make a point of meeting him while you are there if you love animals. He is the best!
Overall, A+++ on cleanliness, location and hospitality. I will definitely be back!!!
