Ocean Cove Lodge

I grew up on the Sonoma Coast, so returning to the area is always something I look forward to. I’ve watched the evolution of Ocean Cove Bar & Grill over the years, and it’s exciting to see what the new ownership is doing with the property. It’s always refreshing to meet owners who are genuinely committed to improving a place. That kind of vision takes time, but they’ve already accomplished a great deal, and it shows. The restaurant is a fantastic stop whether you’re passing through or spending time on the coast. The menu offers a great selection, the food is fresh and high quality, and the atmosphere is exactly what you’d hope for in a coastal restaurant. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely focused on taking care of their guests, making the entire experience enjoyable. Whether you’re stopping in for lunch or dinner, Ocean Cove Bar & Grill is well worth the visit. I’m looking forward to seeing how it continues to grow and improve under the new ownership.

Fantastic little lodge with an amazing view! We splurged for the luxury room with its own balcony hot tub and I don’t regret this one bit. I wish the restaurant had been open a little later and we had to rush to get checked in before they closed. But overall this was a great experience! Would return!

Beautiful location but I had a terrible stay in room 14. I stopped for one night while biking down the coast, and I’m really not picky. All I need are wifi, a shower, a bed, and coffee. They failed me on every count:
– They have a weird wifi system to limit number of connected devices. I spent 20 minutes handing my phone to an employee so he could try to get this to work on my phone before he gave up and connected me to the employee wifi. They said this is because they have starlink but high quality routers would relieve any concern about connecting too many devices.
– The shower was really small. There was also no where to put soaps, so I had them on the floor, but with how small the shower is I couldn’t bend over to get soap without pressing my butt into the cold wall.
– The shower was also stuck on the hottest setting, but I was able to fix that by tightening the handle because I had a screwdriver with me.
– The bed was very uncomfortable. The worst mattress I can remember sleeping on, including cheap motels that cost a third as much.
– Their site lists coffee and tea as an amenity, but there isn’t any in my room. I didn’t notice this when I checked in and now I’ve woken up to find there’s no way within miles to get coffee before 8 or 9 AM.

They also charge a 3% fee to pay online with a card, but there’s no other way to pay… Just bake it into the price!
