Good option in Shelter Cove if you don't want an ocean front or ocean view---rooms are clean and comfortable. There will be plenty of deer surrounding your room starting about dusk. We spent most of our time at the black sand beach and down at the tide pools so this was a great location for us.

This place is nice, although I am a bit puzzled by the rave reviews. This is pretty much a no frills motel/cabin-like Inn. The room was very clean, good sized and with a kitchenette. Nice areas on the grounds to get views of the ocean. There are LOTS of rules written out and posted everywhere...it was actually comical, kinda felt... More

Shelter Cove is definitely off the beaten path -- it's the only town on the coast for a good 40-50 miles in either direction, and if you don't fly in, you get there by a grueling 25 mile drive through the King range on a very winding road, albeit with amazing views. I stayed one night in room #3 as... More

This has to be one of the cleanest motels we've stayed in to date! This is a modest motel that competes with much fancier (and more costlly) motels for this resort area. We liked that they actually answered the phone when we called to inquire about a room, the other's wanted us to leave a message. Our room was simple,... More

We recently stayed in cabin #6, which was very clean and well stocked with dishes/pans/utensils in the full kitchen. We arrived around 8pm, and no one was at the office or answered repeated phone calls. Other guests happened to walk by and told us how to get in, but you might want to let her know if you're arriving late... More

We were so pleased we found Shelter Cove and specifically Beachcomber Inn. The highlight was meeting Marilyn and chatting about the history of Shelter Cove and her family. The cottage was spacioius and comfortable and the kitchen very well equipped. The place was spotlesslessly clean and had views of the ocean. Shelter Cove itself is a fascinating place - lots... More

We stayed at the Beachcomber Inn after a long and gruelling drive. It could not have been more perfect. We stayed in the cheapest unit, which at $65 a night is an absolute bargain in this part of the world. The rooms are basic, but have a good bed, good hot shower and decent sized fridge. This is ideal for... More

This area is really expensive but the Beachcomber Inn is very reasonably priced - $75 plus tax for Cabin # 3 which has double bed, single bed, fridge, TV and heater. The room is very comfortable, the bathroom really well appointed and a hallway with shelf and coffee maker. We only stayed one night but would loved to have stayed... More
