"The room was very nice, with high, beamed ceilings and the property had a beautiful pond with fish, turtles and ducks. Great for kids. They even have duck food available for purchase - just make sure you bring your quarters."

West Beach Inn, a Coast Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay the last week of July. Check in process was extremely easy and the check in host gave us information on things to do in the area. Continental breakfast was very nice. We didn’t get a chance to do their happy hour wine and cheese but such a nice opportunity for guests. Bed and room was very comfortable. The bathroom and shower were updated. We would stay here again!"
