Parking was great, right by our door, no fees, no valet, so easy. Room was clean and housekeeper even left a note, (Maria, I believe). We arrived late, and the innkeeper Daniel, left a code in a lockbox, and sent a secure electronic key via my mobile device. Very close to restaurants, thinking breakfast at Zorros cafe an easy block walk away was great, with a Shell Beach Inn coupon. We booked the same day as our travels were loosely planned, (my specialty)…. We met with family visiting the area, en route to another destination. Loved to see our family 😁 on our way! Thank you Shell Beach Inn for making a very last moment visit successful.
