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!

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.

This property is sensational. It's right on the shoreline. You can hear the waves pounding on the coast outside the room and the porch has an incredible view of the coast. The room was perfectly equipped and decorated. I hope to return again for personal travel.

Comfortable room with great view. Curtains did not block ext lighting so there was a lot of light in the room while trying to sleep. The door lock combo was wrong every day and I had to call for a new code-- a bother

We didn’t realize that we had to drive so far off 101 to get to the hotel but it was well worth it. Despite the gloomy weather, the location was wonderful. There is no lobby or anyone to greet you but the check-in instructions were clear and concise. We had no problem entering our room so we did not miss the “lobby”! The room was clean and cute with very firm beds! I love a firm bed. We appreciated the coffee and the tea in the room as it was cold while we were there.
Thank you for the hospitality!

The hotel is great, it is directly on the ocean. The waves are crashing right outside. My only complaint is check in is at 4pm and check out at 10am. This is significantly later and earlier than any average hotel. Especially my email had no specified check in time. We got there at noon and had 4 hrs to kill. Also they saod the code was my cellphone number, but it wasnt and i had to call at check in time and get the actual code since no ine emailed it to me. Other than that, we would definitely stay again for price and location.
