Jennifer, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Gorgeous studio, would have liked an outside space, but easy enough to pop down the stairs to the ocean from patio!
Diane, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Everything we hoped it would be!

Amazing beachfront property with amazing views. Clean, quiet area with a few great restaurants nearby. Suite was everything we hoped it would be and more, worth the drive from Boise, Idaho to experience a few days here. Stay at the Black Sands Inn, you will not regret it!
Jordan, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Quite a special location. A unique view of the tide coming and going. You can tell the cleaning staff pays attention to the details, in the bedroom, kitchen area, and bathroom. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

JANET, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

It was a little hard to check in because we had not received the door code email. A phone call took care of the problem though. We live the room. The only other suggestion would be to wash the windows.
Vivian, 1-night trip

Definite 5-Star

Amazing place right off the beach. What more could you ask for. Well kept, modern updates, fair price, and seamless check in and out.
Christian, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Not received the check in access code till 3:30 pm. Although in the previous emails, the host kept saying the code will be sent shortly.

This property is beautiful. Beautiful veiws of the ocean
James, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Sensational views and comfortable room.

This property is sensational. It's right on the shoreline. You can hear the waves pounding on the coast outside the room and the porch has an incredible view of the coast. The room was perfectly equipped and decorated. I hope to return again for personal travel.
michael, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Looks newly renovated. We hade a 1-Bedroom apartment with a fireplace and a huge bathroom. It was very nice. The kitchen was convenient because there are not many restaurant options nearby...my biggest complaint. There is a breakfast/lunch place right next door, though. Beautiful surroundings and right at the shore...heard the ocean waves crashing in the night. The sea lions were resting on the rocks about 200-300 ft away, too. This hotel is self check-in but there is 24hr phone # to reach someone, if necessary.
Elle, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Simply magical! Waking up to the ocean steps away from our door was all we dreamed and more! The room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. The 10 am checkout was too early for us, but we’re definitely coming back!
Christina, 1-night trip
