Cute place on the beach. We stayed in By the Sea room and it was not very clean. The window sills were coated with dust and dog hair. The bathroom had grubby spray foam around the inlets and mold in the shower stall. The bed had creaky springs and was not comfortable. The duct tape on the floor where it transitioned to a higher level was really tacky. The view was nice, tho. With a little attention to detail and newer beds this place could be 5 star.

Great communication with innkeeper. First time visit for me, hubby stayed 20 yrs ago. We will be back. View from 10B under the sea room.

I tried drawing a bath after a long road trip and noticed the bath water was gross. The drain wasn’t cleaned with the hair from the previous guest. Probably not worth 250$ but everything else is clean. If you come after 5pm they leave your key in the front door for you to open up later. My concern was someone could have entered and locked the door again and assaulted me if I walked in alone or holding my bags. Probably not worth the $250 I’m paying because I was really, really looking forward to taking a bath and relaxing.

We have stayed here the past three years. We fell upon this place by accident. Peggy has been amazing and she really is an amazing woman. Our anniversary falls on Valentines and Super Bowl, imagine how difficult that could be. Each year we keep going back because She has made a difference in our lives. Not only are the rooms wonderful, especially if you can get the rooms with the fireplace. Ocean front, door open, listening to the ocean, remembering that life is your friend. Personally, I am not sure where we will choose to stay when Peggy leaves.or now, this is our place. Merry Christmas.

A super beautiful place to stay with the perfect location. The inn is on the cliff overlooking the water, and the view is spectacular. There's a private stairway directly from the inn down to the beach.

We stayed in the aviation room, it was well decorated, comfortable and clean, with a little kitchenette, and balcony overlooking the water. You could see the ocean while in bed. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Even though it's on the highway, it was well insulated and you couldn't hear the road noise.

You can walk to all of the best rock hunting beaches from the inn, although bring rubber boots to cross the creeks. It's the best place to stay if you want to rock hunt here.

Soooo cute and quaint, each room has it's own theme! Kitchenette to full kitchen and fireplace! Peggy is the best as well, so accommodating, we switched rooms 3 times just to see them, and we were able to stY in the previous room until the next was ready! 10/10 hands down!

I stumbled upon this motel due to some terrible "customer service" at another place, and I'm ever so grateful that I did!

A great place with absolutely phenomenal service that I would happily book again.the room was clean, it's very quiet, and there were times I had the whole beach to myself! (If there were folks down there, it was still less than 5 other people!) Paradise!

It's a bit of a stairclimb down/up to the sand, so if stairs are an issue this may not be your ideal place. However, there were a couple of nice lounge chairs set up on the grass area on the cliff above the sand that afforded an amazing view as well.

It looked like most if not all of the rooms had little balconies with chairs set up, accessible through a sliding door from the room. (I didn't expect this and was pleasantly surprised!)

The room was set up with a mini fridge, microwave, toaster, coffee maker and even had some plates/utensils handy.

There was also a separate seating area from the bed and was laid out well. Also, this was a solo trip and I'll note that I felt completely safe.

But above and beyond was the service! Newport Coast hasn't really been on my radar but I will happily return now!

The location is great for walking and running on the beach. It was hard getting to the Inn because of traffic.
Peggy and her staff has made my stay wonderful. I started yo have car problems and Peggy had jumper cables and was able to start my car. She gave great tips and advice for the best time to see the attractions.
I will definitely be back because Peggy has brought the Moolack Shores Inn to life with her hospitality and friendly personality!

I have to say that the pictures on the websites do not tell the story. We had the Nautical room. This room was run down, my son made coffee and almost drank lumpy creamer that was past expiration date, me and my wife had to clean and much more. While I don't normally go this hard, I was mostly upset due to the fact that it's very misleading from my point of view. Only gave location a 3 star due to the beach, but overpriced for the overall package, and property needs alot of TLC and maybe in the future could thrive.

This was a wonderful place for a weekend getaway! The room was adorable (The Nostalgia). Can't wait to go back again.

We love Moolack Shores! Can't say enough good things about it. Proximity to the beach, the view from your room, falling asleep to the waves of the ocean, the wood stove, kitchen area for cooking. Peggy was extremely helpful and quick to respond. She helped my boyfriend put together a last minute romantic package to surprise me. We've stayed here twice, and will be back!

The view from the rooms is spectacular. The rooms are themed rooms and they could use some updating. You're paying for the view and access to the beach, in my opinion. Our room, the Safari room was just a room with a balcony and a bathroom. I wanted it for the view and the balcony, with the gorgeous ocean views. The room was overheated and stuffy when we checked in and they used air wick plug ins for air freshener and it was terrible on my sinuses. The rooms did have a smart TV, microwave, fridge, Keurig and fireplace, that was a nice romantic touch at least. Being able to hear the waves was great too but the windows had screens that were torn and holey. With a few easy fixes, decor upgrades and new furniture in some of the rooms it would be a five star stay for sure.

It's difficult to rate a hotel and they all seem to be dirty near Newport. I'm sure the ocean makes it difficult. But none of these places are worth more than $100 nightly. This place had dirty floors like food on the floors, not just sand. There's plants blocking the view. Not that I would want everything destroyed just to satisfy my one night. This place was average. Stains. Coffee cup still smelled like it had coffee. Etc. Tub was dirty. Bed was comfy. This is the world we live in though. Tons of people traveling. Not enough employees.

There were some good things about this room: the bed was reasonably comfortable, sheets were new and clean, young man in the office was friendly and helpful, fridge was clean, view was great, sturdy staircase leading to beach. Most other things about the room (the Safari Room) were highly unpleasant. It needs renovation and a serious deep clean. It looked very different from the photos. I found lots of dust, hair, dirt, and sand under the bed. Rug was filthy. My socks were dirty after walking around without shoes. Baseboards and light switches were very dirty. Towels were worn, stained, and smelled of the plug-in air freshener that was in the bathroom. I found 4 strands of long hair wrapped around one of the hand towels. Lots of dirt in corners of bathroom floor. Shower curtain smelled of mold. Window screen was torn, bugs in the room. I would have left if I could have found another room. It was so not worth the money. I was happy to leave.

Super cute little spot BUT mattress was absolutely TERRIBLE it was like broke in half/slumped in the middle, could barely sleep. Pretty poor that they can’t even have a decent mattress.
