On the property
“We usually go for one of the standard rooms with an ocean view, but this time we decided to step it up to the "Victorian Suite" for a change and we're wishing we would have done so earlier.”
“We enjoyed the view of the sunset from the fire pits - a great way to drink local fine California wines.”

From the reviews
Since my husband discovered this gem of a place around mid-2025, we have come and stayed at Wharf Master's Inn 3 times in 6 months, we like it this much! We love its location with ocean view, friendly and professional people, jacuzzi-in-room, clean environment, and relaxed atmosphere.
Beautiful rooms, grounds, building and owner. We stayed in rm 120 and everything was in place and what we needed for a relaxing stay . Jacuzzi tub, fireplace, balcony with cafe seating and table. King size bed that felt like laying on a cloud.
My son picked this Inn out 7yrs ago during a family trip. We've stayed 3 times. We thought we loved it before...then we came back in Aug of 2025!! Karen is the BEST and the improvements are fantastic. Anything we needed she took care of. The rooms and grounds are great.
We just spent a week at Wharf Masters Inn for our anniversary, and it was a beautiful, peaceful treasure. We couldn’t have imagined a more romantic or relaxing setting. Karen truly went above and beyond to make us feel like we were in a 'home away from home.
Getting married at Wharf Master's 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.
