Top Gray Whale Cove State Beach Hotel Reviews

anchor inn pacifica

8/10 Good

"The place was fine and comfortable. Liked that it was a single unit. Was walkable to the beach and a few restaurants but nothing too great it seemed as far as restaurants. Had some trouble getting in but was given a number to call and was very helpful. She said hotels.com had not passed on contact info. The unit worked out well for our overnight in Pacifica."

Ocean View Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wish that we had stayed longer than just 1 night! The balcony with ocean view was a lovely touch and the front desk staff were wonderful! Note - there is no breakfast as stated on Expedia, but we grabbed a quick coffee and bite to eat at Soul Grind Coffee Roasters in the morning (highly recommend)."

Secluded Forest Oasis - Your Ultimate Retreat Awaits!

10/10 Excellent

"Incredibly kind and responsive host and spectacular home! Thoughtfully furnished and equipped. Stunning home and even more stunning, private forest feel. Perfect for large groups or families! The only thing to note is that there is only one bathroom that is not inside a bedroom and it is on the lowest level. This was completely fine for us but just helpful to know in case a group needs to take that into consideration."

Distinguished Oceanfront Point Estate with Iconic Beach + Mountain Vistas

10/10 Excellent

"The Wave House is an exceptionally beautiful spot, inside and out. Our family of 9 enjoyed our 3 days of sunny skies, amazing number of whales sightings (right from the comfort of the living room, bedrooms, and decks- what a treat!), well-appointed kitchen, comfy beds, spacious rooms, easy beach access! Mya greeted us warmly, and Andreia helped us quickly with questions re. entry codes. Grocery stores were only a short drive in either direction, and amazing restaurants all around. We especially enjoyed the Hangetsu Omakase and La Costanera for delicious meals for our group! Everything was very clean and well maintained. Outstanding experience- thank you Andreia and team!"
