The incredible view of the ocean slamming against the rocks required an afternoon happy hour everyday on the balcony. Whenever we return to Black Sands Inn, it will not be soon enough. What a secret getaway of solitude and beauty that only few know about.

Property was amazing. Communication was not; they kept telling us 30 min to get in at 1:30- (we got in at 345) We would have preferred them to say go about your day and we will contact you instead of waiting for hours. Otherwise it was a lovely unit and location.

This was a great place to go stay by the ocean. You can't get any closer to the ocean than this place! Wonderful outdoor chairs to sit and soak in the Ocean breeze. Nice clean rooms, plenty of towels and coffee. Management is very responsive to inquiries.

We had a wonderful stay at The Black Sands Inn. The property's direct access to the beautiful beach was a huge plus, offering stunning views and perfect opportunities for tide pooling and beachcombing. The hot tub was a definite highlight—it was incredibly clean and relaxing with its great views, strong jets, and comfortable seats. We also appreciated the convenience of having several good restaurants located nearby. We are hoping to stay longer next time to explore more.

the view was spectacular. small but quaint. other patrons were very friendly. getting access to room slightly difficult, since we had no internet reception to receive instructions, need to make better heads up notice on door.

6/10 Good

Room was clean, good for pets. Check in process is very poor. You need to check in via your phone as there is no one on site, yet there is absolutely no cell service, and you are not given the WiFi access code to use to check in, To get you code for the door. Thank goodness a fellow guest was able to provide the code. They should give you your code ahead of time. Very poor communication
