Location and Transportation
The Oceanfront Inn is located in Shelter Cove, a small seaside hamlet in the Lost Coast of Northern California, within the King Range Mountains. Black Sands Beach, the south end of a 20-mile coastline, is close by. Mal Coombs Park is located right next to the Inn.
Amenities and Services
The property offers a BBQ grill with tools and picnic supplies in the patio area. Amenities include free Wi-Fi, gas fire pit on the patio, a garden and waterfall, chairs and tables for ocean viewing. Putting green and horse shoes are coming soon on the South Lawn. In-room massages are available by appointment. Accessible guest room is held until all other guest rooms of that type have been rented.
“The Oceanfront Inn's location is its undeniable draw; imagine stepping from a short walk from the airstrip directly onto the beach. I think the views alone are worth the trip, complemented by the ease of access to Shelter Cove's natural beauty, like whale watching from a nearby cove. While some rooms could use a bit more warmth on cooler nights, the sound of the ocean makes it a perfect stay.”
