View from balcony of the Ross's Cove room located on the 2nd floor. Celebrating our 29th anniversary at our favorite Inn!
E S.

We booked a room last minute on the Inn at Mavericks website. We got SO LUCKY that there was a room available on our anniversary day! This was just 2 days away from the day we booked. Guess it was meant to be.

I booked last minute and I couldn't believe how beautiful it is here, view to the harbor! Dog friendly! Room is so cozy with fireplace! Easy walking distance to restaurants! Would definitely recommend! Staff very friendly and welcoming!

We had a really nice time here. we met a really nice staff member by the name of Eluisa, room and bathroom was specious and clean! Most importantly, it's dog friendly! Our little foster baby loved her stay too! They provided us with food and water bowl, towel and poop bag! We will definitely stay here again.

Fire!

This is a gorgeous little inn over looking Princeton by the sea. We chose this location because of its view and it's dog friendly. We have two little Boston babies who like to vacation too. The room was very comfortable. Housekeeping does a great job, it's nice and clean. So why 3 stars? The fire pit. Right next door to our room, The Jetty Suite is a fire pit and guess what? It draws a crowd. People can peer right into your little piece of heaven. We were sitting in our "yard" having a cocktail getting ready to watch the sunset. The puppies had just settled down and here comes a group of people with a guitar gearing up for sing-a-long. Dogs started barking as I scurry around in my PJ's. On top of it we had had a really long day, we were tired and I was having one of my world famous migraines. I just wanted peace and quite. At almost $400 bucks a night, that's a reasonable request. There is not a lot of privacy between the fire pit area and the room's yard area. It didn't help that "singer boy" and his guest peeked over the fence to see what we were doing. And I don't necessarily mind sing-along's. It's just they were right on top of our space. We were able to drown out them out by turning up the TV. Not ideal. If I had known that there was a fire pit next to the room I would never have booked it. My antenna did go up when I saw earplugs by the bedside table. Silly me thought it was for foghorns and boats ;) Update! The manager Connie did reach out to us and said they have never had this problem before. She did invite us back and said that we should book a room that's not next to the fire pit. We may do that.

The family and I spent two nights at the Inn at Mavericks. The inn is located on Pillar Point Harbor in the tiny hamlet of Princeton-on-the-Sea. Technically within the confines of Half Moon Bay. The Inn at Mavericks consists of six well appointed suites. The suites on the lower level are dog friendly and have a large patio area with a small amount of grass. We stayed in the Flat Rock suite. It had a king size bed and a futon. Which is where our daughter slept. There is also a small kitchen type area that had a Kerug coffee maker and a countertop ice maker that can in handy for making cocktails. The bathroom was really large. The best part was the shower. So spacious and the water pressure was perfect. I wish I had one like it at home. Daily housekeeping is offered at no extra charge which is nice. Check-in is contactless. Your key and a welcome letter are in an envelope in a mailbox in front of the "office". There is a communal fire pit if you want to sit outside and take in the incredible view with the warmth of a fire. The best feature of the Inn at Mavericks is it is within walking distance to numerous restaurants. There is a brewery across the street that is only open Thursday to Sunday. A distillery around the corner that is open Thursday to Sunday as well. Barbara's Fish Trap, Old Princeton Landing, Half Moon Bay Brewing Company and Mezza Luna are all within a five to ten minute walk.

We spent the weekend in the Mavericks Suite and had a fabulous time!! The outdoor area and views were spectacular. The furnishings inside the suite were adequate, nothing to write home about, but the mattress was very comfy which is so important. The bathroom was very nice and the size of the suite was nice too. Great location, you can walk everywhere. We already made reservations to come back, so I would definitely recommend if visiting in the area especially if you want to bring your dog. I definitely am a fan of the Inn!!

Beautiful patio view

Beautiful hotel! In a quiet peaceful area but walking distance to everything. I love this hotel it was beautiful and relaxing! The room is nice big and cozy with amazing views right off the water.

Views from our patio.

We really enjoyed staying here. First time traveling with our 6lb Chorkie, he seemed right at home. The view from our patio were phenomenal. The room had binoculars and it was great to look out at wildlife. We stayed at the The Flat Rock room. The room was spacious and the bathroom was a great size as well. The fog horn is a bit annoying but it didn't not bother our sleep. We welcomed and enjoyed the sea lions barking. The Inn is within walking distance to a small mall, restaurants, bars and Pillar Point Harbor. Many other beaches near as well. We took advantage of the extra add on for wine and chocolates. It was a great treat for my husband and I, the wine that is and the chocolate for our kids. The Inn also had a small basket of complimentary treats and a couple water bottles. The only gripe I have is that the pull down sitting sofa that is intended for extra sleeping is not for two people. My two teenage boys did not fit comfortably. It should only be intended for one person (under 5'2" feet) or two very small children (age 6 & below). Note, because of the pandemic no ice is offered. Hope to visit again.

My husband and I stayed here on our mini-moon in 2017 and have stayed here for our anniversary every year since. I was expecting them to be closed this year because of COVID, but they were able to be open ( which is such a huge blessing to us! Because who doesn't deserve a brief reprieve from the chaos of this year?) We live in the Bay area, but love to come here because it feels like a totally different world without actually having to deal with the headache that can be travel. The service is beyond compare, and the bottom three floors can accommodate dogs ( which is a huge bonus for us!). There is also a big tub, fireplace, mini-fridge, and microwave! ( Everything you need for a sort-of-shelter-in-place anniversary!) I should mention, we stay in the same room every time, the Maverick, so I can't speak for the other 5 rooms, but I imagine they are equally awesome. There are good food places nearby (that offer take-out) and the views are perfect. If you are looking for a simple place, with great service, great views, and great food, then this is the place for you. There are also quite a few excursion places nearby ( charter boats, kayaking, etc. - which I admit, we haven't tried yet). There is a spa nearby that I would normally treat myself to a massage at, that also has very good service. P.s. they also supplied us with our own bottle of sanitizing spray (which, again, is helpful in a COVID world.) In short, this place is a wonderful place to escape from the chaos of today, and we will of course be returning every chance we can.

Well, high marks for harbor views - the balcony had some of the best I've ever seen. And, it was easy walking distance to a number of good restaurants and beaches. The room was size-able and quite attractive and the oversize soaking tub was most welcome. Our upstairs room (The Dunes) had windows on 3 sides, which were truly a boon as we stayed there during a very rare heatwave*. No airconditioning, but opening all the windows and doors gave a lovely cross breeze. We enjoyed the "atmospheric" sounds of the fog horn and steady parade of single engine airplanes (right overhead) for the first couple hours. But, as the evening wore on, it got quite old. So, yes, noisy; especially when the dog-friendly rooms downstairs lead to a barking fest. The other draw back was the lack of service. A very bare coffee-snack tray was not well stocked, even tho I tipped extra and asked for more than 2 coffee pods. There was no one on site outside of a housekeeping lady for a few hours a day. The phone number for service was an unattended message machine. Yet, it was sort of exciting to witness a major lightening storm from the balcony in the middle of the night (remember CZU August Lightening ?). But the wind and pressure changes led to quite a scramble and fight to get the windows closed. The trap door to the attic flapped like mad until we got buttoned up. And, some how, that caused the smoke alarm to beep every minute for the rest of the night. Added to the fog horns and disturbed barking of the harbor seals, it was not conducive to sleep. Note: we did discover two sets of earplugs in the rooms after the 1st night. In someways, I would not have wanted to miss the cute parade of planes overhead, nor the rare chance to see a storm. But there was no one to respond to the malfunctioning alarm and the noise factor got me down.

The suite doors do NOT have flip locks (at the top of the doors) for added security.

Last month I stayed at the Inn at Mavericks while I was in town visiting family. Upon arriving I was taken aback at just how gorgeous the view is here (photos cannot accurately capture the beauty). There really is no suite without a great view! They provide binoculars in each suite so guests can take in all the wonder . . . what a nice touch. The 'noises' other Yelpers have mentioned did NOT bother me. The bellowing noises of the frolicking sea lions add to the charm, in my opinion. Yes, the fog horn can be annoying. Unless you are a light sleeper, this should not be an issue (they do provide complimentary earplugs). Sadly, I CANNOT give Inn at Mavericks a 4 or 5 star review because they seem to have issues with guest privacy and security . . . I stayed here during the COVID pandemic (in Sept. 2020). In my suite there was a laminated placard (see photo) stating: "During your visit to the Inn at Mavericks housekeeping will not enter your room unless requested". Imagine my surprise the next morning when one of their employees opened the door to my suite without knocking. Also, I was in the middle of getting dressed when she opened the door. And, no, I had not put in a request for housekeeping, so there was absolutely no reason for their employee to open my door. It is worth noting this incident could have easily been avoided if: 1) Inn at Mavericks followed their own policy and protocols 2) the employee would have simply knocked before opening my suite's door 3) the suite doors had flip-locks at top (they do NOT: see my photo) After this breach occurred, I sent the Inn at Mavericks an e-mail stating what happened. Melissa Rey promptly apologized and acknowledged that nobody should have been entering my suite. However, I was never given an explanation of why the incident happened in the first place.

This place is like heaven on earth. I have never been to such a wonderful hotel in my life. It is so serene and peaceful I could sit on the deck and stare out at the ocean forever. The bed is soft and comfortable the robes are wonderful and the soaking tub for two is a nice touch. The room is just the absolute perfect size fortwo. Honestly it's one of those things you just have to do to appreciate. We have already been twice and cannot wait to return.

They offered complementary wine in the evening and breakfast in the morning. Their breakfast was provided by nearby bakeries which was really nice to support/highlight local businesses! The hotel was clean, quiet, and staff were all very friendly. Even the interactions that we witnessed were all very helpful and pleasant. This hotel is walking distance to a few restaurants by utilizing the walking path along the water. The only negative about our stay was the temperature in the room. It was very warm (even in March) and since there is no air conditioning we were forced to keep the back door open and bugs were coming in from the crack of the screen door.

There's even a little glass of dum dums suckers on the counter for the little ones or those young at heart 2) Room amenities - everything you can ask for including 2 burner stove, water kettle, Keurig coffee machine with several coffee pods, set of dishes (3 cups, 3 mugs, 3 plates, utensils), microwave, frig, ironing board, standing fan, extra pillows, large sofa enough to fit 4 adults, fireplace with wood chips for burning, 2 tv's - one in living area and one at the bottom of the bed, balcony overlooking the ocean and toaster. The shower had bottles of shampoo, conditioner and cleanser. I don't think they missed anything -except toothpaste! You're on your own with that. Balcony had 2 chairs for you to sit and enjoy the view. 3) Hot tub and pool - we only tried the hot tub which was very hot in the beginning but after soaking in for a few minutes you get acclimated and it's relaxing. Officially fits 10 but so spacious can fit more. Towels available at front desk. 4) Complimentary continental breakfast - everything you can ask for that does not require any cooking including various pastries, bagels, muffins, oatmeal with toppings, yogurt with various toppings, apple or orange juice, coffee, tea, apples, pears, bananas, hard boiled eggs and toaster (for the sliced bread or bagels). There are wooden trays if you want to take some food to your room. There are 4 large round tables with 8 chairs for seating and a fireplace burning. There's something for everyone! You can also eat outside on the patio with ocean view. (There were also a few GF options.) 5) 5:30 complimentary wine in lobby area. 6) Self service cold water - small plastic cups available in lobby area We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Room is spacious and furniture is not the most current but it was comfortable. We enjoyed watching the sunset and surfers out on the ocean!
