Wharf Master's Inn · Point Arena

Mere words cannot describe the relief it was staying here. The atmosphere created here is epic. The vibe automatically present. To be appreciated as a guest is an understatement. You're respected as such like an old friend. Every single staff member encountered obviously is treated well as an employee as it showed in their demeanor. Everyone here is part of a team that cares about where they work and takes pride in the job they do because it shows ! The initial greeting & check in was so welcoming. The food is delicious, the rooms are thoughtfully furnished for comfortable usefulness and the grounds are tastefully maintained. Cornhole anyone? It's in the courtyard. Bath bomb for your jacuzzi tub? They got 'em. Board games,card games and a litany of movies, even kites for the kids or kid in you! Forgot your robe or a warm sweater! They got you! Even a fishing pole is available if you care to try your luck off the pier. ADA accessible room, EV charging, yes!! The freezer in your in room mini fridge actually keeps your ice frozen & wont freeze your items in the fridge! Leave your windows open to hear the ocean waves all night. Don't worry about being cold in your room either. The fireplace will take care of that! The fireplace even has different light/ambiance settings and a timer! Family friendly, fur baby friendly, romantic, secluded and you will not want to leave your private patio! Why? THE VIEW!!! The ocean is RIGHT THERE! For a family with minors may I suggest a courtyard room & save the ocean views for the adults wanting romance & solitude. Better yet, bring the extended family & stay at the Historic Warfmaster house w/full kitchen/dining 3 bedrooms & 4 beds! The kiddos can walk right down to the ocean. The oceanfront there is all rocks so fyi on that. Sandy beachfront just a skip away. Everything is right there. Great food on site, beverages,beer, wine,champagne, prosecco. Restaurant/bar/deli/coffee shop a walk down the driveway at the ocean & fine dining available in Elk 30min down the road. I personally booked another stay there while I was there. Can't wait & looking forward to going back in April 2027 This stay was late July 2026. For first timers to the Mendocino coast I suggest to have layered attire! The sun can be warm but the wind can be cold. So take flip flops for the beach, shorts & long pants, light shirts and sweaters. Point Area is gorgeous. A quaint small historic town. Visit Elk, Mendocino & Ft. Bragg. Stay at least 4 nights minimum to soak it all in. You will NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! Why haven't you booked yet?! They even offer a payment plan at checkout on thier website when booking! No Expedia,trivago & the like needed! Just go to the website for the best pricing! Discounts for AAA,AARP,PG&E workers ,and of course MILITARY! Say high to Tilly for me. The resident turtle that eats in the garden/courtyard area! I would have posted pics but really there is no need, the rooms are just like they look on the website! Gorgeous!
