From the reviews

This is a legacy property owned by generations of a local family. Incredible hospitality, unbeatable ocean views, and a lively bar and restaurant serving delicious food and cocktails. Excellent wine list with many nearby wineries highlighted. Thanks to the staff, you will feel like family by the time you leave.

★★★★★ — Diane, Aug 2025

Was a perfect spot for a family staycation! While the decor and feel is a little old fashioned and antique in a way, it's still has modern amenities and the atmosphere and location make it an amazing spot to stay. Waking up and going to bed with these amazing views was a treat.

★★★★★ — Chef, Nov 2025

Excellent customer service with beautiful views of the ocean and delicious food. A special thanks to Moy- our server who was extremely attentive and provided professional service.

★★★★★ — K, Dec 2025

We stayed at the Margaret Bullard for 2 nights and it was one of the best experiences I've ever had. The place has amazing views of the pacific ocean.

Getting married at Little River Inn

Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
