    Excellent hotel that is about a 5 minute walk to the beach. The property is in great shape and the staff are outstanding. The only “downside” is that you will need a car to get around otherwise be prepared to walk / ride a bike - but if you’re looking for a place to just put your feet up and let the days pass you by, it’s tough to find better!

    Excellent choice for a short stay. Very quiet and pleasant perfect for relaxation. Very clean and with friendly staff. Nice garden and very close to a very nice walking trail. Nice restaurants close by.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Everything from the booking experience to the checkout experience was perfect. The breakfast was wonderful, as was the afternoon social gathering with wine. The gardens on the property are lovely. The sound of the ocean in the distance is peaceful and the hospitality of the staff was definitely noteworthy!

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    We had a lovely one night stay here. The location was amazing - we enjoyed walking down to the tide pools and to see the seals on the beach. The property was beautiful and the room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was very tasty, and we enjoyed our sipping our cocktail hour glass of wine out in the garden. Would definitely return!

    The property is dated and worn . The front desk lady seems like she does not like her job and is not a very hospitable person. She runs through the tour etc but you don’t feel welcome. We have stayed more than once but will not come bsck.

    Such a great place! Excellent breakfast and gorgeous area.

    Very special place. I will book this place again.

    I stayed in their two-bedroom suite, which was both beautiful and spacious. We genuinely appreciated our stay. However, since the room is adjacent to the main building’s kitchen, we were unfortunately awakened early in the morning by the sounds resembling pots and pans. This was particularly disappointing, as I had hoped to escape the noise.

    Private small 11 room B&B next to a marine reserve. You will love the quaintness of the property as well as the staff making sure all you needs are taken care of. Great breakfast is included in the price of the room.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Gorgeous estate with beautiful rooms, wonderful fireplace and sofas in the common area, a lovely garden, and a short walk to the coast where we watched mama seals and their new pups. Completely enchanting inn. For us, the stairs were fine (no elevator) but if you have mobility issues, ask for a room on the ground floor.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    If you enjoy a relaxing atmosphere this a great place to stay. The rooms are good size and have gas fireplaces. It's located a short distance from numerous restaurants and has a number of areas for walking up on the bluff above the ocean. The staff at this boutique B&B are so nice it makes you want to come back. We've stayed at the Seal Cove Inn numerous times and any time we travel to Half Moon Bay this is our destination. We highly recommend this establishment.

    Everything both inside and out was beautiful with European flare. Nothing

    Not on the water

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    I would give it 10 stars if I could. The rooms and the property are gorgeous. The short walk to seal beach with seal pups was a bonus.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Seal Cove Inn is top notch! A peaceful retreat that is welcoming and comfortable. The rooms are consistently immaculate. They are spacious and beautifully appointed, each with a toasty working fireplace! The staff are always friendly and accommodating, and knowledgeable about the property and surrounding towns. The daily breakfast selections are fresh, healthy, delicious and locally sourced. Daily freshly baked cookies are complimentary as well as a happy hour featuring a lovely selection of wine and beer. A five minute walk to the tide pools is beautiful with adjoining trails that take you through a magical grove of Monterey cypress trees! Seal Cove is my "go to" to rejuvenate and recharge my spirit!

    Great breakfast and coffee. Great location for walking to beach and local restaurant

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Surrounding areas were amazing the weather was great, only small thing was that if you’re there mid day when the temperatures get high there is no AC so it could get a bit warm, but if you just open up a window or balcony like we did and it cooled down instantly. The garden was amazing and the quails, birds, squirrels and bunnies were out and about eating each morning. At night if you get cold you can turn on the gas fireplace that is in your room or turn on the heater. The entire staff was friendly and really nice and accommodating. 5/5 would stay here again for sure my girlfriend and I loved it.

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    We loved that the trails were so close to the property! Had nice walks in the evening and morning too.

    Parking is safe & very close by. Fireplace a nice amenity.
