Great locationBeautiful views
SivNOBeliggenheten til havet og muligheten for å sitte ute ved havkanten.
Likte stillheten og dyrelivet!
SusanUnited StatesGreat. Shelter Cove is a very small and remote village on the coast... Very peaceful.
Our favorite part of the facility was the location. Our room had a balcony where we could sit in the evening and watch the ocean and the sunset. Our room was spacious and very clean.
Our key code to our room was either…
KatelynUnited StatesWe will be back.
The proximity to key activities was nice. We didn’t have to drive if we didn’t want to.
The photos online are outdated. As an example, there are no longer stairs that go from the property to the beach.
Misa333United StatesLoved the vibe
I loved the view! The staff was kind and eager to lend a hand if needed! Having the little Cafe downstairs was great.
The only thing that was kind of a bummer was the access to the beach. For me it was fine but my Aunt…
LaurenUnited StatesAn old and kind of dirty place with a stunning view.
The view was beautiful, and we enjoyed listening to the ocean from the apartment. The cafe was delicious.
The bed was small and pretty hard. The shower didn’t drain well so you had to stand in a pool of water while…
TaunyaUnited StatesAnniversary trip sabotaged by a greedy owner.
I liked the manager, Nickie. She was kind and looked out for us. If it wasn't for her, we would have had to turn around and drive home. Her customer service was exceptional and I appreciate her kindness. Nickie is…

What we’d check for you here
- How many rooms they will hold at once, for how long, and on what terms.
- That the step-free room is actually free on your dates, and whether it is a roll-in shower or a bath, which the listing never says.
- The pet fee and any size limit, which is where these bookings usually come apart.
- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
- Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about The Oceanfront Inn
What time is check-in and check-out at The Oceanfront Inn?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does The Oceanfront Inn allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at The Oceanfront Inn?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does The Oceanfront Inn have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at The Oceanfront Inn?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does The Oceanfront Inn have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book The Oceanfront Inn?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
