Property was AMAZING! Only issue was with virtual check in as I had poor cell service and could not download the form. Once I was able to do that everything went smoothly 🙂

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!

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.

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.

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.
