Seal Cove Inn — Hotel in Pacifica

Wow. Wow. Wow. This place looked great online, but it exceeded our expectations and we had the most relaxing, comfortable vacation ever. Where do I start- when you pull up to the property you get the feeling of arriving at an English manor. The property is secluded, lush, quaint, and clean. Everything is cared for and someone pays extreme attention to detail. This is the theme for the entire experience and the first impression is truth here! The staff was amazing. Attentive, excited, welcoming, warm, helpful, polite...I could go on and on. They know the area well and are a wealth of information. We stayed in room 8...this is the room with the waterfall picture above the fireplace. We took a peek in a few other rooms while they were being readied for new guests...they all look amazing. The room was quiet. I never heard a peep. No loud appliances in the room, no neighbors conversations could be heard, no creaking floors...just quiet. The bed and pillows provided the most comfortable sleep. Nothing was over the top or cheesy with respect to decor and layout. It felt elegant while maintaining a level of hominess. The soaps and lotions were so nice! When you open the balcony door all you hear is ocean and songbirds. It's like being snow white...the birds literally land on your balcony and throughout the courtyard along with bunnies. Other consciences- no mini fridge in the room...fully stocked fridges with waters and softdrinks in the halls. 24 hr access to tea, coffee, and espresso. Nice lobby with books, boardgames, fireplace, and views. Short walk to beaches and cypress forests. Bikes that are available to borrow. There was a complementary wine your in the late afternoon. Free WiFi...AAANNNDD of course the amazing breakfast that you can take to go, in the breakfast nook, or delivered to your room. It was always delivered exactly on time too!!! I could write more, but I will just end it by saying- thank you Seal Cove Inn and staff, we enjoyed ourselves, feel completely replenished, didn't want to leave, and will...

THIS PROPERTY IS NOT HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE. Although this is a beautiful quaint inn nestled along a quiet country road near Half Moon Bay, it is not a property for people who are not able to walk on uneven surfaces, rough terrain or climb stairs.

Not handicap accessible:
Outdoor walkways are covered with either wood chips, dirt or gravel with no paved areas on the property. In order to gain access to the ocean or beach, one must walk through the forest on a dirt path then traverse several rustic staircases to access the beach. There is no alternate way to view or access the waterfront. Indoors there is a complex staircase to gain access to the 2nd and 3rd floors. There is NO ELEVATOR on the premises.

Although a specific request was made for handicap accessible accommodations, we were assigned a suite on the 2nd floor, with no possible way of making our way up to it. When we requested that our room be changed to accommodate our needs, as we had requested at the time of reservation, the inn staff made no attempt to move us to a first floor room. Instead we were advised to seek accommodations elsewhere. When we inquired as to a full refund of our reservation due to the to our inaccessibility to our assigned room, we were told that "changes and cancellations must happen within 7 days prior to our arrival." We were then told that the staff would have to call us the next morning to let us know if any or all of our money would be refunded for the several day stay. We were appalled and left scurrying to find a room elsewhere for our visit to California.

To date, we have never been contacted by this property with a refund or an apology for thier unwillingness to accomodate a handicapped patron. Very displeased and will be contacting the State of California regarding...

Seal Cove Inn, Moss Beach – A Perfect Romantic Getaway

We recently spent 4 nights at Seal Cove Inn in Moss Beach, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the staff, who made us feel right at home. The Inn itself is a charming and peaceful retreat, offering a perfect mix of comfort and romance.

The gardens surrounding the property are absolutely beautiful, providing a tranquil setting for morning walks or simply relaxing in the fresh air. The well-maintained grounds are filled with lush greenery, creating an intimate atmosphere that adds to the overall romantic vibe of the Inn.

Each morning, we enjoyed a delicious and hearty breakfast served in a cozy dining area. The food was fresh and flavorful, and it was the perfect way to start the day before heading out to explore the area.

One of the highlights of staying at Seal Cove Inn is its proximity to Moss Beach. The beach is just a short walk away, making it easy to enjoy the stunning coastal views and tranquility of the area. Whether you’re strolling along the shore or simply sitting and listening to the waves, the beach adds to the charm of the location.

Overall, Seal Cove Inn is an ideal place for a romantic and relaxing getaway. The combination of beautiful surroundings, great service, and close access to the beach makes it a perfect retreat. We highly recommend it for anyone looking for a peaceful and intimate escape...
