Dining · Amenities · The local guide
Three kitchens that start at the harbor, a saltwater pool, a bluff-edge spa — and a coastline our concierge knows by heart.
Dining
Our kitchens lean on one idea: the shorter the trip from water to plate, the better the meal. The harbor is a mile down the coast. The kitchen garden is out back. Everything in between is ours.
Nightly · 5:30–10:00 PM
Our flagship room, where the day's catch from the harbor a mile down the coast meets the kitchen garden out back. The menu changes with the tide and the season — expect a half-dozen oysters, something just off the grill, and a wine list that leans hard into the Central Coast.
Daily · 11:00 AM–sunset
Lunch, a long afternoon spritz, and the best seat for sunset. Cold plates, a wood-fired flatbread, and a frozen something with your name on it, served on the bluff-edge deck where the only soundtrack is surf and the occasional gull.
Daily · 7:00–11:00 AM
Stone-ground pastries, a proper flat white, soft eggs and good bread, and a basket to carry down to the cove if you'd rather eat with your feet in the sand. Included for suite guests; à la carte for everyone else.
Amenities
A heated saltwater pool on the south deck, ringed with loungers and shade, open from dawn until the stars come out.
Two treatment rooms and an open-air massage cabana on the bluff. Book the sea-salt scrub; thank us later.
A switchback stair drops you to a quiet stretch of sand and tide pools — towels, chairs, and a packed picnic on request.
Tides, trailheads, tasting rooms, and the reservation you couldn't get. Our team has lived here for decades.
Complimentary bikes, boogie boards, beach umbrellas, and binoculars for the gray-whale migration each spring.
Gather around the open fire at dusk for a nightcap, a s'more, and the kind of conversation that runs long.
The local guide
Our team has lived on this coast for decades. Here's where we send the people we like — from a four-minute walk to a day's drive.
4-min walkTime it with a morning low tide and you'll find anemones, hermit crabs, and the occasional octopus. Our front desk prints the week's tide chart.
1.2 milesAn easy bluff-top path leads to the 1890 lighthouse and the best whale-watching perch on this stretch of coast. Pack the binoculars from your room.
8-min walkA handful of blocks of bookshops, an oyster bar, an ice-cream window, and Saturday's farmers market. We'll point you to the good stuff and away from the rest.
20-min driveRolling vineyards and unfussy tasting rooms minutes inland. Tell the concierge your palate and we'll map a route — driver optional, recommended.
On-site to 5 milesThe coastal trail runs straight from our gate. For the adventurous, the sea-cave kayak launch is a short drive south — guides and gear arranged on request.
8-min walkStrawberries, flowers, and the kettle corn you'll pretend you didn't finish before reaching the room. Saturdays, 8 AM to noon, rain or shine.
