Sea Rock Inn

This is a spectacular Cliff Side Inn… and you won’t have to worry about falling into the Ocean as the Inn sits back and away… but the view is extraordinary. Smell the fresh sea air and coz-​up to a warm cup of Chocolate…(provided)…The rooms are well appointed and there are no parking problem or sounds of passing vehicles all night.
Management has been at this location for 20+ years and she does it well… along with her staff of nice folks… like Leslie…
Well, I just wanted to say that my wife and I really liked our stay here and it was, unfortunately, many years ago. One of the memories of our visit was a Coffee Mug that we bought and brought home as our souvenir… oh so many years past.
That sage green mug lasted and lasted and eventually became my go-​to-​mug for coffee and Hot Chocolate… It held memories of our youth and of our trip to Mendocino and the Sea Rock Inn…
Last weekend, my favorite mug was broken into a thousand pieces. I mourned it’s loss… and then remembered where it was from. So on Tuesday, I called the Inn. Leslie answered and Susie was there… They looked-​up our stay and it was still in their records. I liked the comment that someone had written beside our reservation… Thank you.
The bottom-​line is this… I purchased two more of those sage green mugs and had them shipped to me. Today is Wednesday… and they are here on my doorstep.
Many thanks to the ladies of the Inn and to their customer service acumen.
I will be back at the Sea Rock someday, GOD willing, and I hope that my mug-​saviors will be there to give a great big hug.
BTW…The second mug is my backup… I can only use one at a time…

We booked room 18. The room was perfect on the second floor, corner room. The room was spacious, clean, and updated. The fireplace was a perfect touch. The view was amazing! We spent most of our time on the deck, watching the sun rise and set in peace and quiet. Overall, the property is really nice as well, with ample places to sit and relax. The staff were overly friendly and warm — I have never received such great service. And the breakfast was incredible too. I wasn’t expecting much, but it blew me away. Fresh fruit and juices, endless coffee, gluten free offering… the list goes on. And the location is perfect too, as it is less than five minutes from downtown Mendocino, or a 15 – 20 minutes walk. We couldn’t have been happier with absolutely everything during our stay here, and we cannot wait to come back!

Awesome stay thanks to the staff at this place. The location is very scenic (right next to the coast) and close to the main area of Mendocino. Upon check-​in we given coffee and brownies (very good) and the staff also gave us tips on what to do in the surrounding area as well as restaurants.
The rooms are well-​appointed and most of them include a deck with chairs so that you can watch the sunset and also enjoy the weather.

My boyfriend and I had an absolutely perfect visit to the Sea Rock Inn last week — we were only upset not to stay longer!
We arrived late, well after check-​in, but the manager was kind enough (when I called to let her know) to leave directions on the office door for us about where to park the car. Our room was waiting for us — #17, one of the upstairs suites with an incredible view of the ocean.
The room itself was beautiful and very comfortable, with great little touches, from the fireplace to the complimentary bottle of wine, to the (luxurious!) terry robes. I could have sat on the deck for hours in that robe, just watching the ocean.
Breakfast was similarly excellent. I especially liked that they have breakfast trays available so you can take your coffee back to your room, if you want to sit on the deck in your robe and watch the ocean. Which (duh) you do.
Sea Rock was definitely a splurge on the grad student budget, but worth every dollar. Once I have more time (and a job!), I’m sure we will be back.

We got in late and immediately regretted not spending more time here. One of the best experiences, we cannot wait to come back.

The most amazing place. Fantastic view from our room and veranda. We even spotted 2 whales while sipping a glass of local white wine. Excellent room suitable for 4 persons so our kids slept in the bed room behind whilst we took the main room allowing us to get up early and enjoy coffee and viewwithout disturbing. Fantastic breakfast.

My husband and I absolutely loved this place. Great hospitality. The breakfast was good too. All in all we had a wonderful experience and would definitely return.

My girlfriend and I came here for our first anniversary. We’re from the busy life of the Silicon Valley so this last weekend away was just the relaxing and romantic time away we needed. Beautiful town, beautiful B&B, beautiful view… we will most definitely be back. A special thanks to the staff for being so welcoming and helpful in planning our weekend. We loved every bit of it. They even went out of their way to leave a bottle of wine and a note saying «Happy Anniversary» in our room. You can’t go wrong with Sea Rock Inn. Thank you Susie, Stacie, Simone and Lezlie!

Almost all amazing things could be said of the Sea Rock and thus they earn the 5-​star! Staff was completely kind and hospitable from first correspondence all the way through the stay. Upon arrival, we were engaged with menus to local restaurants and they booked our reservations for us. That took a lot of stress out of the equation.
For our first morning, my wife was too tired to get up for breakfast. I shot over to the dining room to see what I could pull together for her. One of the staff helped me put together a lovely tray of assorted breakfast items to bring back to the room and I earned major kudos from my lady.
The room was clean and comfortable with a view that’s tough to beat.
Only minor feedback would be that there was one morning we were awakened by vacuuming in the room above during the 9am hour. For a place where people so frequently come to relax, I’d just be sensitive to the possibility of people sleeping in.

What an amazing place to spend the first night of our honeymoon! We stayed in cottage 5, which had big views of the ocean and the point in front. The woman who checked us in was kind and offered us tea and brownies. The grounds are beautiful, set with chairs to gaze out across the cove in front.
Our room was perfect, and we were greeted with a bottle of wine and a cozy fireplace.
Breakfast was so good too! They had a beautiful spread and beautiful views there too! Loved the binoculars in our room and at the breakfast nook. What a great touch!

The Sea Rock is a fantastic place to stay! The cottage bed was comfortable, the sheets were super soft and the staff is very nice. They have an endless supply of tea, coffee and brownies available until 8 pm. The ocean view from our cottage was great. It had a nice deck with a table and two chairs. It was perfect. I will be coming back again. For sure!

We have been here twice for rest and relaxation. Sitting on the deck with a book and wine is our favorite past time here. Also, the staff is awesome.

what a gem of a place this is! We had never been to Mendocino, and prefer rooms that have an ocean view & outside the main town — this fit the bill perfectly. We stayed in room 15a I believe, which was ground floor and closest to the water, with a nice lawn & chairs out in front. The room itself had a cute fireplace, cosy seating & the most melt-​down-​inside comfortable bedding we have ever experienced in a B&B (Comphy linens, you can order online or at B&B). The robes were just as luxurious. We loved the perks of a coffee maker in the room & welcome ½ bottle of wine. The daily breakfast was a delicious combination or hot quiches, fresh made pasties, yogurt parfaits & other tasty treats — which if you want, you can take back to your room or porch via tray for a private breakfast. Across the street from the cottages, they own a small grassy area with cute wooden benches, which are perfect for whale-​watching, or sunset gazing. The staff was very friendly, offering many suggestions on area excursions or dinner in town. The main town was less than a 3 min drive or 10 min walk (daytime only recommended due to windy road). The only reason, I don’t give it a 5 star, is that unfortunately, the design of the room are such that the thin walls makes chatty neighbors easy to overhear — even talking at normal levels. The second night we stayed, we had the luck of listening to an ’80’s dance party’ going on upstairs — LOL. Could have been worse. But maybe a 10 or 11pm courtesy reminder to guests for TV watching, conversation & music playing, may be of benefit. But this won’t sway us from a return visit. We enjoyed our stay very much overall.

We visited Mendocino for the second year in a row to celebrate my birthday. The Sea Rock was such a perfect place we returned once again. The views from every room is gorgeous, and the grounds are comfortable and inviting. Being a short walk across the street, we hiked the trails in the bluffs and ended up walking into town for lunch. Total time is about 3 hrs with a short stop in town for a sandwich and to pick up a model car at one of the gift shops.
Only two complaints– as we pulled in to register we were greeted rudely by a woman yelling «move your car! Move your car!!! When I asked if a couple I spied were trying to park here, she replied no, but they may pull up any minute! My other half said we were there to register only it would be quick. Still he was very annoyed to be greeted in this fashion (after driving for more than 3 hours) and commented that if she merely asked cordially if we could park the car in an alternate area while we register, he would have felt more like a guest instead of an intruder.
The second complaint is the cottage 15b was too warm at night. We tried to use the wood burning stove for ambience, but it just heated up the room so quickly. We were sweating in the middle of the night and had to open the door. When we asked the next morning, they mentioned the floor heater but it had been off the entire night.
The year before we stayed in one of the upper units and didn’t notice it being too warm.
In any event I love Mendocino and the coziness of our cabin. I’m hoping the heating problem will be remedied and the blonde screaming at us to move the car learns a bit about customer service.

We had a wonderful stay at the Sea Rock Inn — our cottage was clean and cozy — with an amazing view — sunsets from bed — it does not get any better than that!
The staff is professional and engaging. The breakfast was fine. But the location is superb —

My husband and I decided to take a spontaneous road trip up the coast to Mendocino and although the entire trip was wonderful, our stay at the Sea Rock Inn made it near perfect.
The location of the Sea Rock Inn is only a mile from town and it overlooks the ocean with stunning views. It is impeccably well kept both inside the inn and on the surrounding grounds that are beautiful. From our cottage, that was quite large but still cozy, we could hear and see the beauty of the ocean crashing on the rocks below. The room had a beautiful seating area near the fireplace and the bed was the most comfortable we’ve ever had in a hotel. The breakfast was delicious, as were the afternoon tea and brownies. The owners made sure every guest was cared for like they were the only one’s staying at the inn.
We highly recommend the Sea Rock Inn and we’ll definitely return to this slice of paradise again!

A bottle of Husch wine and chocolates greet you in your cottage. Morning starts with custom pastries, quiche, fresh fruit, coffee and friendly people. And it’s right on the ocean. The knotty pine rooms are clean and well appointed.

Amazing ocean views and clean rooms.
This place is not fancy but has fantastic views; we woke up to see the ocean from bed. The rooms were very clean and had chairs so that you could sit and look at the view indoors (for example while reading a book). We walked to town (though it seems like everyone else drove) and it was about a half mile (not bad). They answered (or researched and answered) every question we had.
The breakfast was good. Largely continental. Steady supply of coffee and fresh juice.
Oh– and the afternoon brownies (the person I went with ate 4 per day). Good.

The location was very beautiful. We had a beautiful view of the rugged Mendocino coast from our room. The room was nice and clean. The wall was a bit thin (we were able to hear a lot of noises from the adjacent room). The fireplace wasn’t set up properly (firewoods were too chunky) and we had a very hard time lighting it up. The breakfast was delicious and the breakfast room had a beautiful view as well. The wi-​fi here was good. Overall, it was a nice visit.

My husband and I just got home from our stay at the Sea Rock Inn and we didn’t want to leave!
We stayed in Cabin 5… breathtaking view of the ocean and sunsets. The cabin was small but perfect. Just enough room for the two of us. A porch in the front of the cabin was the perfect place to sit, have a glass of wine and watch the sunset. A complimentary bottle of a local wine was in our room upon arrival… great touch.
The staff was so friendly and helpful. It’s so nice to have someone greet you by your first name in the morning as you came down for breakfast. You can also take a tray of breakfast back to your room to enjoy on the porch.
I wish it was cold enough to light the little gas fireplace in our room. I guess we’ll have to go back in the winter! Overall, this was the perfect combination between beautiful scenery, comfortable accommodations and the simple, easy-​going lifestyle that is Mendocino.
We will definitely be back and will recommend The Sea Rock Inn to any of our friends and family headed up the coast.
