Anns View

The very act of writing this review, and adding my beloved Anns View to Unilocal’s database, is an act of tremendous selflessness. Because if I had my way, none of you would know about this gem so I could go there whenever I wanted. But I love Ann, and I love Unilocalers, so I’ll make this personal sacrifice.
Anns View is beyond special. It’s a teeny tiny little spot, with only two suites, situated atop a hill on Hwy One right next to Tamales Bay. The views from the North and South Suite are breathtaking. When you are looking for a weekend away and some quality time with someone you adore, this is your spot.
It’s not cheap, but for what you get, it’s a steal. For $ 275 a night the North suite is a bedroom plus huge living room with a fireplace, huge kitchen, and most spectacularly, literally 270 degrees of views of the bay. Floor to ceiling windows facing South and West. Everything is incredibly modern and tastefully done (no awful floral patterns here, just sleek hardwood and stark white everywhere). Ann will stock your fridge with local Pt Reyes cheese, fresh squeezed orange juice, scones, and cream for your morning coffee.
The South suite is just one bedroom with the view only looking South, for $ 225 a night if you are looking to spend a little less, but honestly the North suite is more than worth the extra $ 50 a night. Two nights reservations are required for weekends and holidays.
Once you’re there you can visit Hog Island Oyster Company, Pt Reyes, go hiking, kayaking, fishing, windsurfing, wine tasting, or honestly, just chill out in your gorgeous suite with you honey, read, pay games, be lazy, and whatever else it is you might want to do on such an occasion ;).
