Our Location
The Inn at Mavericks is located just minutes from the world famous big wave surfing spot, Mavericks. The Inn at Mavericks is also just minutes north of historic Half Moon Bay and only twenty minutes by car to downtown San Francisco. The most dramatic ocean cliff views along California’s Pacific Coast Highway 1 are both to the north and south of our location. Activities at the Inn at Mavericks include:
- Hike to the beach near world famous Mavericks, just a short walk along the shoreline, and see some of the largest waves (seasonally) in the Pacific Ocean
- Mountain bike trails and hiking trails are abundant
- Walk to Harbor Village shopping; a one-of-a-kind atrium shopping experience featuring the pampering Oceano Spa
- Outdoor adventure sports rentals, such as Kayaking and windsurfing are a short walk from your doorstep
- Two 18 hole Championship golf courses are within a 10 minute drive!
- Numerous fine dining and casual dining to choose from…and you walk back to your room…mmm
- Only 20 minutes by car to downtown San Francisco
- Deep Sea Fishing
There is nothing more beautiful then waking up the morning after you just got married to sunshine and the calming waters of Half Moon Bay smack dab in front of you. I selected Inn @ Mavericks because this is exactly how I wanted to wake up - just married, with our bed facing the open sea, reflecting on how this is the first day of our married life together.
No other "hotel" could guarantee I'd have a room with a FULL ocean view - at Maverick's ocean views is all they've got.
We stayed in the Ross Cove room which was incredibly comfortable and had: a clean and updated large bathroom, mini-fridge, coffee maker, microwave, small fire place, love seat and chair, small table and an incredibly cute (but small) balcony with complimentary binoculars so you could see little sea lions peep their heads out of the Bay.
The bed, a King-size of pure comfort. Fresh duvet comforters, extra blankets, tons of pillows. I personally prefer queen size, but since I was so exhausted from our wedding reception, it didn't matter all that much.
As far as the foghorn, it really is an afterthought. You do get used to it because it's a softer sounding foghorn that you would find on your Sharper Image Sleep Soother alarm clock. It's NOT like a blaring Titanic foghorn. Plus the giant sliding glass doors are double paned and super thick but if you are super sensitive to sound, then bring some ear plugs just in case. Keep in mind though if you grew up in a suburban city next to a nearby airport like my husband and I did or if you live in a downtown area it's really not a problem - Inn @ Maverick's will be heaven for you.
In fact writing this review makes me want to go back there right now...I'll be back...
