Cliff House Inn On The Ocean

Cliff House Inn On The Ocean

10/10 Excellent
"The word I use is fantastic. After having a few bad months with the loss of loved ones, spending a lot of time keeping our health in check, we needed a time out to erase & regroup. Cliff House Inn provided everything we needed to accomplish our goal. We smiled all the way home,( still smiling). We are rejuvenated & are looking forward to our next trip out there. Your staff was friendly, patient & very courteous the whole time. We highly recommend your Inn to anyone who is looking to find a place that erases all the negativity in your life. I have never seen such beautiful views of the coast & ocean from a hotel ever. You could only see these views from a cruise ship. The only drawback for us was the dining. We found it better to go into Carpenteria, Santa Barbara or Ventura to find dining to our liking. Thank you."
