What guests say
8.3 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 540 guest reviews
Cliff House Inn earns consistent praise for its unbeatable oceanfront setting, friendly staff, and the highly regarded Shoals Restaurant, making it a genuinely appealing coastal retreat. However, recurring complaints about dated bathrooms, aging room furnishings, limited breakfast offerings, and highway noise suggest the property's infrastructure has not kept pace with its natural surroundings. Guests who prioritise views and atmosphere over modern amenities are most likely to leave satisfied.
