If you are high maintenance and expect all the amenities of a five star resort, this is not the place for you (In fact, B&B's in general might not be for you). However, if you are down to earth and enjoy character in your choice of lodging, you can't beat the Sandpiper House Inn! The Inn is located in the... More

We just came back from spending our 40th anniversary. Our first stay was our 20th and we have stayed several times since then. Curtis, the caretaker, was excellent. Breakfasts were great. I note ownership neglect issues that will need to be addressed at some time. Portions of the house are leaning and the landscaping is getting over-grown. Despite these issues,... More

After reading all the reviews here I wasn't sure what we would find at Sandpiper House. We are frequent visitors to the Mendocino coast but we had never stayed in Elk previously. We enjoyed our two night stay. The room was large, comfortable and clean. The bathroom was good size and had all the things we needed; shampoo, abundant towels,... More

My daughter gave us a weekend B&B for a Christmas gift. She had purchased a groupon offer for the Sandpiper Inn. However, we found out upon booking that we had to pay extra for our room since only three of the five rooms were covered under the groupon program. They were completely sold out through July 2012 and had none... More

The bed left us with a backache and the pillows were not good either. The furnishings were just old and were dusty. The shower in the bathroom was handheld and not enough water preasure. The whole place could do with updating off rooms. The garden was very overgrown. We had to walk on a so called path just to view... More

Boomer2505 must have been in the same room. We also are grateful that we didn't pay full price since we had a Groupon deal too.....doubtful that we'd trust that again. It is a beautiful setting but we couldn't access the private cove since the stairway down the cliff was overgrown and deadly .....totally in disrepair. The shades in the room... More

We were given a Groupon for Christmas and needed to redeem it before the expiration date. After reading all of the reviews, what everyone is saying is true. You're either going to love it or tolerate it. For my husband and I, we found it to be very good. Why? Because we knew from the start that we were staying... More

This B&B left a lot to be desired. We made reservations through a Groupon deal, thank goodness we didn't pay full price. When we arrived, Curtis did not great us or engage us in any way, other than to call out from his desk chair in the kitchen. We had to follow his voice to find him. He asked us... More

The inn has an unbelievable setting above the cove. It is comfortable and clean with a decent bed and a gas fireplace. We had a romantic evening sitting on the edge of the bluff in the adirondack chairs watching the sun set. The breakfast portions were huge; with very good waffles on Sunday morning. The coffee was just what you... More

We just got back from a 2-night stay at the Sandpiper House Inn- a wonderful Bed & Breakfast located just outside of Mendocino. First of all, I must apologize to Curtis, the Innkeeper, because I called ahead and gave him a really hard time about some of the recent poor reviews written on here. He said he was aware of... More
