An outdoor shower is available for rinsing off after the beach, and the property features a fire pit (lit at management's discretion) with covered seating.

Bedding choices include King Rooms, Queen Rooms with two queen beds, and Deluxe King Rooms with Sea View. Each room has cable TV, a private bathroom, air conditioning, and daily housekeeping services.

Awards: TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence 2024 & 2025

“What struck me most was the inn's quiet demeanor, a welcome contrast to the vibrant energy of downtown Laguna and the beach, both remarkably close. The rooms themselves, while clearly seasoned, are kept impeccably clean and the beds are notably comfortable, lending a real sense of ease to a stay here. Coupled with the genuinely helpful staff and the thoughtful inclusion of parking, it presents as a sensible and rather pleasant base for exploring the area.”
