I think we’ve stayed in all of the hotels or Inns In Shelter Cove. This was by far the most beautiful appointed interiors and exteriors. They had outdoor lounge chairs for looking at the ocean and a little bistro set outside our door as well. The beds were memory foam. My husband said he slept great. Will definitely stay there when we return to Shelter Cove.

What an enjoyable surprise! We didn’t know what to expect but what we got was a beautifully appointed, newly renovated and extremely clean king room. The location was superb with Adirondack chairs for ocean-gazing. We did not use the hot tub and couldn’t light the fire pit. Close to Gyppo restaurant and a coffee shop was in the adjacent hotel. WiFi, TV, coffee makers and refrigerator in the room. We would definitely return to Black sands Inn.

Wow the view was amazing. The superior suite was Gorgeous. The only gripe I had was the curtains in the living room was one panel on each window. Our room was right next to the spa so we could only cover part of each window. So when folks walking to the spa gazed in the window as walking by. There also was no info for the fireplace and the tv remote. There is no one ever at the hotel so we had to wait for housekeeping to come on the next day to get into for all information that should have been in the rooms. Other than that this place is the nicest spot to stay and enjoy your time away. Can’t wait to go back very soon.

What I saw on the web page was exactly what it was in person, beautiful decor, with a clean well stocked coffee center, even a blanket for sitting by the fire and watching the breathtaking view from our balcony… thank you for the informative communications and your prompt response to unforeseen issues that arose… it was a wonderful, too short stay, we will return in our dreams!

Great accommodations, renovated and super clean!!! The staff (the person who assisted us entering our room and getting it ready came across a bit unfriendly, as she didn't want to be bothered. A smile and a warm welcome can got long ways after a long trip to your place.
