Simply magical! Waking up to the ocean steps away from our door was all we dreamed and more! The room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. The 10 am checkout was too early for us, but we’re definitely coming back!

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The no-contact check in is terrible. I did not receive any information on which room was assigned to me and how to get in. No physical person on the premises. I had to find a number to call-someone in San Diego! I am a disabled senior and was assigned a third floor room with no elevator. I had to ask other residents to help carry my luggage up three flights of stairs. The balcony sliding door was broken-it could not be close fully, nor could it be opened. I was told a handy man would come to fix it, but they never showed. I was allowed to change rooms but moving all my things down another set of stairs was tiring and dangerous for me-I could have easily fallen and injured myself. In general, the building is in disrepair: missing roofing tiles, rusted metal joints, water damage to door threshold. The view is nice, but very little else is good. I would not stay here again!

The room itself (premium king with kitchen) was lovely and the view beautiful. Unfortunately, we did not arrive until 8pm (spent 30 minutes trying to find the property) and it was dark. The inn sign (on the side of building only) is not illuminated nor is there other exterior lighting. We slowly made our way from the parking to the exterior stairway in the dark when a motion light finally helped us find our way. Tired from our long day of travel we looked forward to getting into our room. Alas, the door code we had been sent did not work. Luckily the intermittent cell service allowed me to call the property management for help. We were then given the previous guests code which worked. My husband then went back down the stairs, to get something he forgot in the car only to fall (significantly hurting himself), by missing his footing in the dark. All in all, despite the room being very nice and the view lovely, our experience at Black Sands Inn was disappointing. Sadly, we will not return.

I think we’ve stayed in all of the hotels or Inns In Shelter Cove. This was by far the most beautiful appointed interiors and exteriors. They had outdoor lounge chairs for looking at the ocean and a little bistro set outside our door as well. The beds were memory foam. My husband said he slept great. Will definitely stay there when we return to Shelter Cove.
