Black Sands Inn

"We had an amazing birthday stay at Black Sands Inn!!! The ocean view is priceless, and room was lovely. The soft fluffy sheets were the best after a long day of checking out tide pools on a cold January day. Also it was so sweet upon check in we found a birthday card left by the staff. Gotta love that extra effort ❤️"

"Great hotel at an unbeatable location. All rooms have views of the beach, and are very spacious and comfy. Amazing destination for those interested in exploring the lost coast and the Humboldt redwoods."

"We stayed in room 9. Great view! Cute apartment but they lack in maintenance. Cute little town. Nice people. But...this was advertised as a 2 bedroom. It is not. Its a 1 bedroom with a sleeper sofa in the living room. Patio chairs very wobbly. Felt unsafe. Electric fireplace remote did not work. No instructions how to use anything. Bed frame sounds like it's broken. Dishwasher didn't work. Or at least we couldn't figure out how to work it. The obvious did not work. The porch light shines into bedroom. Had to unscrew the bulb. Nice coffee maker but they had the wrong filters and only provide k cups and 4-5 creamer packs for 2 people for 3 days. Luckily, we brought our own coffee and supplies. They left us a used sponge for the kitchen sink and the soap dispenser was broken.The drive is treacherous. Drive during daylight! If you know these issues ahead of time and prepare yourself I guess the view is worth it. It could be so much more if a little thought and effort went into simple maintenance. And to top it off, someone decided to start a huge burn pile right outside our kitchen window. It was so smokey we couldn't open the patio doors for one of the days we were there. It was still burning when we left. Host was made aware of everything and offered $50 reimbursement that we never received. Will not return."

"I would have given 5 stars but the heater wouldn't work and no one is onsite. We looked up the smart heater online and found the washable filter was dirty after cleaning it the heater worked. Other than that beautiful spot with awesome views and pretty clean room with comfy beds also hot tub right in the water was a good touch."
