    The view from our room.
    Karina M.

    This is a really cool, awesome eclectic place. Let's start with the gorgeous view. Arky's is situated at the mouth of the Smith River where it spills into the Pacific Ocean. You can see and walk along the sand and pebble shore to where the waves meet the river. Between the river and the ocean is a sand bar filled with pelicans, gulls, and many other kinds of birds. Seals sun on the bar and swim in the river, catching salmon for dinner. The water is clear, and on a warmer day, I would have gone for a swim. Beyond the bar is the ocean. We saw a couple of people line fishing off the shore. They said if you stood on the rocks wearing polarized glasses on an incoming tide, you could see the salmon running. All of their rooms have amazing views, and the sunset is spectacular. Walk back in time to the 70s when you enter the beautiful main house, which comes complete with a pool table, bowling alley and elevator (both out of order), dance floor, and mirrored bar overlooking the beautiful riverfront backyard, which has a putting green, kitchen vegetable garden, and, in case you don't want to drive, a helipad, making it perfect for destination parties and weddings. The hosts, Richard and Anna, are lovely and eager to please. They serve a large and delicious Chinese breakfast with a fresh pot of coffee per table, eggs with vegetables, a garden fresh vegetable salad, and authentic Chinese dishes like rice porridge, steamed beef, and sticky rice with pork or mango, every morning. (Please note: if you have serious food allergies, you will want to alert them in advance, preferably in Chinese, and it would probably be safer just to eat your own food.) Finally, the bed and pillows were heavenly, the shower was perfect, the room was quiet, and everything was spotless. Having just opened a few months ago, I can only imagine it wil get even better.

    Having a Great breakfast and enjoying the foggy view!

    Richard and Ana are amazing host! They were so welcoming into their home and showed us around the home ! This really is a Gem! Great price and amazing Value. You can walk along the river and enjoy the view of the ocean! The Internet is very fast and had no problem with the connection. In the morning you get an amazing Chinese breakfast that Richard and Ana both prepare - this seriously is a must! The one regret is that we did not have more days planned out! -----side note take your shoes off before entering into the home.

    Rice, with crumbled sausage and scrambled eggs, delicious salad, and homemade bread...absolutely delicious

    We loved our stay at Arky's B&B, beginning with our gracious hosts guiding us to their lovely home, via text messages. It was a hairy, wet, 11 hour drive up 101 from the sf bay area, so it was comforting knowing that Richard had turned on the heater, and the door was unlocked, so we could go right in when we arrived at 1:00 am. Their home is nestled at the base of the Smith River, as it joins the Pacific Ocean. My husband and I stayed in the separate house, which is a one bedroom, and has a very comfortable king sized bed. It's large living room has 2 day beds, a TV and 2 sofa chairs with glorious ocean views. It has a small, fully-functional kitchen with a small table and 4 chairs, along with a full bathroom, which is very modern. The whole place was very clean, felt very cozy, and was so peaceful I wanted to stay forever! When we woke up the first morning, after arriving so late, we went to the main house for breakfast. What a treat! They had individual tables set up at 3 windows that overlooked the ocean. Our hosts were in the kitchen cooking up a delicious meal. It was very special and unique. Pictures attached. I highly recommend Arky's B&B to anyone that needs a place to stay in the area. You will enjoy special attention, and privacy.....that's a hard combination to beat! Thank you Richard and Anna!

    Beautiful rose garden!

    We visited Arky's in July. We were on an impromptu road trip up the coast, and needed a place to stay for the night. After reading the impressive Yelp reviews, we decided to give it a shot. We were not disappointed. The entire house was very clean and comfortable. Our hosts were incredibly polite and welcoming. The next morning we were treated to a delicious traditional Chinese breakfast and a lovely view. The house is on the water, where the Smith River meets the ocean, and we enjoyed taking a walk along the pebbly beach before getting back on the road.

There was hair on one of the beds and in the cabinets. There are no pool towels available. There are stains on the curtains and in the bathtub. There are no blankets available or regular towels when asked for more. No body wash soup. I should not have to go to the store to get things a simple room should have. We did get discounted on our stay as it looks like they are already aware of the issues at this place. Overall, I will not be coming back. It's sketchy to sleep here as it is, and the bathtub doesn't drain. Never coming back. They said they will give us more sheets and instead we got 8 pillow covers and 2 shower curtains in place of 6 sheets. There is grass in the upstairs hallway. Could not stay here for another night so we left early. Staff are nice and gave a refund for the stay.

    **Great location, disappointing stay**…read more I've stayed at the Beachfront Inn before, and its location is hard to beat. It sits right on the beach, and falling asleep to the sound of the waves is wonderful. Unfortunately, that was about the only thing I enjoyed this time. I decided to splurge on a suite, but I regretted it. For one of the more expensive rooms, it was in surprisingly poor condition: dinged furniture, rusty air vents, a gouged floor, ripped carpet, stained curtains, and sliding glass doors that were so cloudy I had to open them to enjoy the view. The bathroom appeared to have been recently updated, but I found long strands of hair in it. The service was disappointing, too. At check-in, I was told matter-of-factly, "We don't clean rooms during your stay!" I was there for the better part of a week. If I wanted cleaning, I had to request it a day ahead; otherwise, I could go to the front desk for supplies. Having worked in hotels, I understand that housekeeping costs money. Still, after booking a suite, I didn't expect to have to go downstairs for fresh towels or toilet paper. One afternoon, a nap was interrupted by loud talking outside my room. When it continued, I looked out and found a housekeeper talking on speakerphone. Checkout summed up the stay. The only thing I was asked was whether I wanted a copy of my receipt. There was no question about my stay and not even a thank-you. I'd enjoyed this hotel before, which made this visit especially disappointing.

The host was wonderful and has a great knowledge of the surrounding area if you're looking for tips and areas to visit. The room itself was a small cottage that sits next to the house with it's own parking, private entrance, porch area, kitchenette, and bathroom. It was very cozy comfy and perfect for us! The BNB is also very centrally located to nice beaches, hiking, and walking distance to great dining. Furnishing were older but charming and everything you need is provided. Only downside I experienced was the shower water running a little cold halfway through the second shower. We did not have the breakfast so I cannot comment on that. Overall, great place to stay!

Or simply roll your eyes and mock me for my being so trite? Well, I don't care if you react that way. Because you haven't been here, and so you couldn't actually know that this is exactly what the South Coast Inn feels like. It's familiar and fun, in a family-friendly, come make tea in the kitchen, sit down on the living room couch, watch the sunset on the front porch sort of way. Michael will greet you each morning in the kitchen, maybe his mother will tell you tales of life in Fresno, and Sheryl will have decorated the rooms to suit whatever holiday it happens to be. For us, it was Christmas, and the trees and displays were better than at home - bigger, more elaborate, and no fruitcake or spiked eggnog in sight (but maybe they were just hidden in the office). The staircase has that comforting wooden creak, the curtains are lacy and white, the beds are fluffy and warm, and the walls are hung with pictures that would not look out of place at your Aunt Lil's, if she lived on the coast of Southwestern Oregon, which I'll bet she does not. The food is fresh and flavorful, the neighborhood is quaint and quiet despite US-101 being so close, and the surrounding garden is filled with flowers and camelias and azaleas and lots more in-between. You can while away hours on the porch, read by the fire, meet new people at the table, or just sleep long and deep in a room filled with lighthouses. Try doing that at Aunt Lil's. A home away from home, bed and breakfast style. Get used to it!

Each day while we were away the room was freshened up. Coffee, instant ceral were provided in the room as well as cream for the coffee. Dishes and glassware were available to use. The room was well supplied with the things we needed. The steps and railings could use a bit of updating for safety and the stairs leading towards the beach area were in much need of repair, to the point that it was not a good idea to venture too far down that path as the lower steps dropped down further than the rest. The handrail at the very bottom was frail and really should not be allowed public access without being made much sturdier. When parking, it required you to back all the way out to the roadway. No viable place to turn around once you drove all the way in. Would we stay here again? Yes we would. I felt it was a good value for the price paid. You could literally hear and see the ocean right from the front room. It is a place that provides a lot of peace and quiet. Probably not the best for a young and noisy partying crowd.

Cars & trucks are in and out constantly cruising. No one is in the office, they have a number for you to call for a host, the kiosk outside the office was not working. People unhook their trucks from their trailers ( or toads) and then park them in the front row of the beach, rather then in their site, blocking your view of the ocean. State Park so it's open to the public from 7am to 10pm. Locals come in the evening and bum cigarettes and money, they know the code to the restroom so they ask people for quarters so they can take a shower.... The showers are filthy! The road in and out is full of potholes, speed bumps are not clearly marked, and the overall condition of the RV park has diminished greatly in the last few years. PROS: This full hookup RV campground is steps from the ocean.
