We had such a wonderful and relaxing stay at Sea Otter Inn! From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed. The atmosphere is peaceful, warm, and inviting — perfect for a family getaway. The service was excellent, and every staff member we interacted with was kind, attentive, and accommodating. The area around the inn is beautiful and serene, just a short walk to the ocean, with scenic views and fresh coastal air. The grounds are well-kept, and we especially loved the sparkling clean swimming pool and cozy jacuzzi, which felt like such a treat after a day of exploring. We stayed with our 10-month-old baby and our dog, and it couldn’t have been a better experience. The inn is incredibly family- and pet-friendly, which made everything so much easier and more enjoyable. They even had charming little touches like a fireplace in the room and a lovely breakfast delivered to the door in the morning. Everything felt clean, calm, and comfortable — we truly felt at home. We’re already looking forward to coming back. Thank you, Sea Otter Inn, for such a lovely and memorable stay!

Nice place!

Place is very nice. The room was clean and very large. Two features really important to us — walk-in shower and hypo-allergenic bedding. It’s a little dated, but I’ll take that over some of the marginal places we have stayed on Moonstone Beach.

Not worth the high price.

Did not enjoy our stay here the rooms are very dated bathrooms cabinets are chipped the heater doesn’t work without the fireplace on but no instructions on how to operate. The housekeeping was non existent but you could ask for extra towels. But the girls would congratulate outside our window and talk which woke us up both mornings. We left a day early without a refund.

I like that they have a continental breakfast brought to your room every morning. They have fresh coffee in the office all day and fresh warm cookies in the afternoon. The housekeeping staff is very pleasant. The hotel is right across the street from the ocean. I wish they would keep the pool area open until 10:00

Loved the add-on breakfast delivered to our door. They also offer complimentary cookies and coffee in the lobby. Very nice pool, hot tub, and fireside seats. Easy walking distance to the beach and Moonstone Beach Bar & Grill.

The Hotel was pretty good, good location and clean. The lady at the front was very rude would probably be an understatement. She sprayed my gf and I with cold water while we were enjoying our time in the hot tub. The hot tub closed at 9:00 pm and we were spayed with cold water at 8:57 pm, I guess that was her way to kick us out. I would have greatly appreciated a warming or any kind of communication and we would have gladly exited the hot tub. After the incident she didn’t apologize or really cared about the incident. I travel a lot and I have never experienced a hotel staff be so rude ever. Avoid this place at all cost, plenty of other hotels just as nice with better staff that will not ruined your night. I’ve stayed at other hotels nearby and staff are much better.
