Simple accommodations in gorgeous location.
Pros:

Location! Couldn't be better. Loved the outdoor gardens and fire pits.
Room very comfortable beds, plenty of pillow options. Most of the bathroom updated and fresh.

Cons:

Beach - dirty. Good for dogs but so much sea debris and fleas - not for sunbathing.
Bathroom: Shower head needs to be changed. It just dribbled. Can't control temperature and flow separately.
Coffee: Please include a darker roast option. Something closer to European strength.

Pros:

Location was perfect and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Room was damp. We've stayed at other properties on the beach nearby and didn't have this problem. Maybe you need dehumidifiers in the rooms.

A birthday getaway
Pros:

I loved the personal touches. We went to Cayucous to celebrate my daughter's birthday and they left a personal card and little treats in the room. Such a great surprise for her! The staff remembered my name. They had coffee and other hot drinks available throughout the day. And old school keys were very cool. We will be back!

GREAT! We're booking for next year.
Pros:

We had a king Pier View Room and it was spacious. The room was clean and had plenty of room for our clothes and places to store things.

Cons:

The sheets were a tiny bit scratchy, but I don't think they bothered anyone else. I'm just fussy.

A super place for relaxation, meditation, and beach time!
Pros:

The property’s proximity to cafes and shops made for a low-stress, no-drive, relaxing five nights. The upstairs oceanfront room ensured cool breezes and views of the fire pits for an evening aesthetic. The room was cozy and shower was a welcomed respite from the salt crust after hours of surf-play. We didn’t even turn on the TV as we had our own real-time reality show from the balcony (and soothing noisemaker for sound sleep). And don’t know how the hotel arranged it (ha ha) but two seals frolicked about 20 yards from the shore each morning right in front of the hotel property! The staff was absolutely super and took great effort to welcome us and respond to a myriad of questions. Well done Shoreline team!

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

Only thing is I wish they would limit the size of the dogs! Sorry but this seems to be y a problem to some or most. Especially when owners keep talking to their pets to stop, that doesn’t happen. Love this place!

Cons:

I would definitely stay here again.
Pros:

The room was spacious and had all the amenities I like I had a great view from my balcony. Easy access to the beach and wonderful outside sitting area no elevator however, next time I would get a ground floor room.
