Thoughtful breakfast/picnic baskets and presentation
Excellent location and ocean views
Beautiful design, tasteful rooms and comfortable beds
Accessible and roomy ADA accommodations

Categories

Cleanliness
9.2
Generally reported as very clean (multiple mentions of 'totally clean', tasteful rooms); one guest noted concerns about water in glass bottle and missing toiletries, so overall slightly above target.
Service
9
Many guests praised friendly, welcoming and attentive staff (cookies, thoughtful presentation, helpful breakfast delivery), but there are notable service failures (phone not answered, billing/charge dispute and no timely follow-up) leading to a mixed but still strong score.
Location
9.5
Location strongly praised (directly on Moonstone Beach, great setting on Highway 1, ocean views), with only a few rooms lacking a view; overall a clear highlight.
Room Quality
9.3
Rooms described as tasteful, comfortable and roomy (including accessible ADA room); some lacked views or AC, but decor and beds were consistently praised.
Amenities
9
Thoughtful amenities repeatedly mentioned (picnic/breakfast baskets, cookies, welcome touches); issues reported with AC availability, in-room phone and occasional broken coffee machine or missing toiletries temper the score slightly.
Value for Money
7.2
Several guests explicitly called the price high and not fully justified (one strong complaint about poor value for a high rate), making value the weakest area.
Food and Beverage
9.5
Breakfast/picnic baskets, fresh juices, baked goods and thoughtful morning offerings were praised repeatedly; isolated incidents (coffee machine broken, delayed breakfast delivery for one guest) noted but outweighed by positives.
Overall Experience
9.3
Most guests described a wonderful, serene stay and plan to return; however, a few strong negative experiences (billing issues, lack of staff at night, disappointing expectations) produce a high but not perfect overall score.

It was a wonderful time. Neat place.
Pros:

The picnic baskets are a very thoughtful touch I was not expecting. There is a lot of thought put into the presentation of the place.

Cons:

Ha Air Conditioning. Came during a heat wave. But that isn’t needed most of the time. So wouldn’t even say it’s something we didn’t like was just a little warm sleeping at night.

I will never stay there again.
Cons:

I was charged for drinks I didn't order. When I checked out I told the person they were not my charges. He said my card had already been charged and they would issue a credit. A credit was issued within a few days although it was not for the amount I was charged. A couple of days later my card was charged again. I tried calling but no one answers the phone so I left a message I left three messages. I didn't receive one call back.
In addition the phone in my room didn't work. One morning their coffee machine broke so there was no coffee.

Charmante, super schöne, sehr persönliche Unterkunft direkt am Moonstone Beach.
Pros:

Auf unseren Westcoast-Roadtrip ist uns dieses Hotel von allen in bester Erinnerung geblieben. Der äusserst freundliche Empfang mit selbstgebackenen Cookies war eine so schöne persönliche Geste. Die Zimmer sind sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und total sauber. Der Empfangsraum lädt zum verweilen ein.

Cons:

Der Preis ist eher hoch, aber unter dem Strich lässt er sich rechtfertigen.

非常失望
Pros:

我觉得性价比很低，小红书推广太成功，特意为了她住了坎布里，结果非常失望，除了lobby ，没什么亮点，房间完全没有景观，就是停车场平房，网红民宿的硬件标准，花样很多，水是倒在玻璃瓶里的，有漂浮物，也不敢喝，基础服务都没有保障，电话坏的，最可怕是10点之后你遇到的任何问题你只能自行解决，他们没有员工值班，我们8点半到酒店，附近9点以后就没吃的了，晚上洗澡发现沐浴液一滴都不剩……打算打电话发现电话是摆设，没有接通，用自己手机打他们紧急服务，告诉我只能明天送来了，然后第二天也没人送来，一早送来了早餐篮，房间里甚至都没有吃饭的桌子……900多刀就这个水平……

A piece of serenity in a crazy world.
Pros:

This is our second time staying at White Water and we plan to make it a yearly thing. We have a disabled family member and their ADA room is beautiful, comfortable and roomy enough for three of us, the wheelchair and two support dogs.
The ocean view is beautiful and the decor is serene.
Comfy beds too! But one of the best parts (besides the view) is the morning offering basket of fresh orange juice, coffee, baked goods and champagne!
