Staff at check-in was great, gave us a quiet room as requested and sweetly gifted us a bottle of bubbles to celebrate our anniversary. Bed/linens/pillows were super comfy and the breakfast baskets were wonderful.

The people that work there are so lovely and the views are unbeatable. The bed was one of the most comfortables I have come across. Plus the detail of the morning basket delivered to your door was amazing. I can't wait to come back again!

Charming and effortlessly stylish, the White Water Inn delivers on every boutique detail. The cottage-chic décor creates a relaxed, coastal vibe that’s both elevated and inviting. Beds are incredibly comfy, and the surprise standout? The cocktails—impressively crafted for a small hotel. The breakfast basket with fresh pastries and mimosas adds a thoughtful, indulgent touch to your morning. And the fire pits overlooking the ocean? Perfect for winding down with a drink while watching the sunset. A cozy, classy gem on the coast.

The morning delivery of a picnic basket with hot coffee, fresh orange juice and sparkling wine to make mimosas and fresh pastry from a French bakery in Cambria exceeded expectations. The room was clean and toiletries were high end. Large walk in shower. Robes, sandals, beach towels and beach blanket were provided. Daily housekeeping. Overall would highly recommend.
