Tomasz, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We LOVED this property and location. We wish we had been able to stay for more than 1 night to make the drive in worth it.
Kenneth, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great communication, the room was clean spacious and cozy. The view and balcony is hard to beat! Would definitely recommend. Perfect for an over night stay on our journey up the coast.

Check in was a little challenging but the room was excellent!
Lisa, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Property was AMAZING! Only issue was with virtual check in as I had poor cell service and could not download the form. Once I was able to do that everything went smoothly 🙂

Wonderful property and helpful staff! Many years to come for Black Sands Inn!!
Chase, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Long drive from 101! Gorgeous property. Rooms don’t have adequate kitchen basics for remote location. Stunning setting!
Lisa, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful scenery! Room is nice and comfortable.
Scott, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

The beds were very comfortable. If you come during the week, please keep in mind that the only food option is a pizza takeout place with no indoor seating. There are no gas stations or convenience stores to grab something more healthy. This property does not have any staff on site. You have to receive an email with your room number and code. We didn’t get either, and there is almost no cell reception once you get to the property to call staff.
Ann, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Only bad thing is that all the restaurants were closed when we got there.
Paula, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The self check in was nice and fast! Recommend going to this inn. It was cozy and perfect for 2 couples.
Chris, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We stopped here for one night during a long road trip. It was so lovely that we are now planning another trip to stay longer, just to relax and get away. The room was scrupulously clean and so well-appointed, including small details like dark towels for removing makeup and a selection of teas as well as coffee with a clean keurig machine. The bed was a wonderfully comfortable memory foam mattress with many pillows, including a body pillow. Unlike every other hotel/motel/inn we have stayed in over the last 10 days across Washington, Oregon and California, this Inn has provided multiple outlets including USB and USBc sockets by the bed which allowed us to charge our phones/kindles/smartwatches and still have an available outlet for the CPAP. We could hear the waves crashing on the beach from bed, and spent some time after waking trying to figure out how to restructure our trip to stay an extra night. We couldnt make that work, but we will definitely be back.
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Wonderful view and beautiful rooms. We had such a great time!
Jennifer, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Gorgeous studio, would have liked an outside space, but easy enough to pop down the stairs to the ocean from patio!
Diane, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Everything we hoped it would be!

Amazing beachfront property with amazing views. Clean, quiet area with a few great restaurants nearby. Suite was everything we hoped it would be and more, worth the drive from Boise, Idaho to experience a few days here. Stay at the Black Sands Inn, you will not regret it!
Jordan, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Quite a special location. A unique view of the tide coming and going. You can tell the cleaning staff pays attention to the details, in the bedroom, kitchen area, and bathroom. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Definite 5-Star

Amazing place right off the beach. What more could you ask for. Well kept, modern updates, fair price, and seamless check in and out.
Christian, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

It was a little hard to check in because we had not received the door code email. A phone call took care of the problem though. We live the room. The only other suggestion would be to wash the windows.
