Oceano Inn  

On Half Moon Bay’s shoreline in the quaint village of Princeton-by-the-Sea, about 25 miles south of San Francisco. Steps from Pillar Point Harbor and Capistrano Road Beach, with easy access to Miramar Beach, the Waterfront Coastside Trail and nearby surf at Mavericks.

A 100-room coastal retreat with ocean-view rooms, fireplaces and flat-screen TVs. Rooms feature pillowtop beds, desks and separate sitting areas; housekeeping is provided daily. The inn was renovated in 2008 and mixes cozy seaside charm with clean, modern touches.

Full-service spa offering massages and body treatments, plus a sauna and fitness center. Onsite hair salon and shopping, complimentary Wi‑Fi throughout and wired high-speed internet in public areas. On-site parking (self and valet options) and concierge services help you get out and explore—wake up to sea-breeze mornings and walk straight to the harbor.

An on-site restaurant and café/coffee shop serve regional flavors, with a bar/lounge for after-activity drinks and limited room service. Weekends bring local-cuisine breakfasts (8 AM–noon) for a fee, plus a reputation for homemade-style morning fare.
