Inn By The Sea is my hidden treasure, my oasis, my heaven on earth. There is nothing short of perfection that would describe my most recent visit as well as my past visits. The setting, the service, the food, the staff, the feeling of being among family, etc. makes this my favorite place for a vacation.

Great stay! The food was amazing! Cute added touch doing s’mores every night, my kids loved that! Only thing I’ll say is - the lobby area where you checkin and restaurant could use a remodel. Overall lovely experience.

We chose Inn by the Sea because it was advertised as a “pet-friendly” property with beach access for pets, which was a key factor in our decision. Unfortunately, our experience didn’t quite align with those expectations.
We arrived on a Sunday around noon and, as expected, our room wasn’t ready (check-in is at 4:00pm). However, unlike many hotels, we were not offered anything while we waited — no welcome drink, light refreshment, or even an early check-in estimate — despite having to wait the full four hours.
Once we checked in, we were told our assigned room was not pet-friendly, and we would be charged for any accidents — despite booking under the premise that this was a pet-friendly stay. Additionally, the restaurant only allows pets in the outdoor seating area, and the pool area is not pet-friendly at all. So while the hotel does accommodate pets in some areas, it’s misleading to call it fully pet-friendly when the main guest amenities are off-limits.
That said, the property is beautiful and most of the staff were friendly and professional, which we appreciated. But overall, if you’re traveling with a pet and hoping for a truly integrated experience, this may not be the best fit.

Staying at Inn by the Sea is a home away from home but with beautiful views, tranquil surroundings, exceptional personnel, from the moment you arrive! We have never stayed anywhere like this. They thought of every possible thing you could need and more!

Excellent family friendly, kid friendly, pet friendly place. From the beautiful flower gardens to the amazing beach. The king loft suite was comfortable with a balcony and a great view. It was quiet and clean. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Our jets in our tub dis not work which was a disappointment, but we spent most of our time on the beach. The pool was clean and the pool area was beautiful but it was a little too cold weather wise for us ro attempt a swim, although it was open ro do so. We ate at rhe Sea Glass several times and were never disappointed, it was always delicious. The room service option was great! We will definitely be staying here again.
