The Oceanfront Hotel – formerly Landis Shores Inn

I’ve stayed in fine hotels all over the coast and this place is by far the best. Each room is unique and ours had a fireplace. The location is on the water and hearing the waves at night was relaxing. Management is 5 STAR and they are attentive to every need.
Adjacent is a restaurant with good food and fireplaces which makes for a nice evening. Add to this walking paths all around and hiking in the hills… Leaving was difficult.

We have stayed at least twice every year since 2013. This place never disappoints. It’s the perfect getaway inn, very intimate, quiet, and comfortable. We recently stayed here in February and learned it was under new ownership. Just as amazing as the last owners these individuals only seek to make the clients stay as amazing as before, great improvements have been done. Definitely recommend, we will definitely be coming back!

My wife and I were able to get away for a long weekend. We didn’t know what to expect but we’re not at all disappointed.
Clean, out of the way, amazing view of the ocean and close to HMB.
We had a great time.
We would highly recommend this B&B and will definitely return

Came here for a weekend getaway and it exceeded my expectations! We stayed in the «Carmel» room. All the rooms have different themes. Very modern and everything is very high standard/​quality. Our room was equipped with a jacuzzi tub, king bed, fireplace, and balcony, robes, extra pillows. (Some rooms don’t have tubs). The rooms were way better than they looked on the website, so they should update it, otherwise the service was great. Very low key and exclusive. There are only eight rooms and one ‘common room’ which is also the lobby. Downside is, the rooms are very close to each other BUT there is a lot of privacy. Meaning we didn’t hear anything from either neighbor. There are always goodies in the lobby, such as little appetizers, hot chocolate, coffee, tea, juice, and fruit! I liked how the service wasn’t overbearing but were always delightful to help. The breakfast was good (don’t expect big meals). There was yogurt, bagels, pastries, fruit, toast, cheese and meat, sausage, croissants, boiled eggs, presentation was very nice. You had the choice to make your own tray or the manager offered to bring it to us. And lastly the view and the beach being in such close proximity was the cherry on top.
Also, there are beach cruisers that you can take for a bike near the beach, this is was the most fun part of our trip. Thank you and can wait to be back! Definitely worth the price! (Even though we got a discount)

So it’s back to 5 stars… I forgot to update my review since our last stay in September with the new owners. Now very different to the former «almost snobby» atmosphere. The new owner is trying out new ideas which may or may not work out, especially with returning patrons. (Please KEEP the evening wine & nibbles!)
Previously it was very quiet but the new owner is very sociable and encourages her guests to be the same, we have always had breakfast on our balcony, this was the first time we ventured out to breakfast with the other guests. She tried a breakfast buffet, I did prefer this to the set menu. Parfaits were delicious!
I love the hummingbird feeders outside the upstairs windows, they attract 4 – 5 birds at a a time. The new owner also provides loaner bicycles so you can ride along the pathways, it was so much fun! because of my arthritis I can’t walk long distances so this was the first time I got to go and see places I was previously unable to access.
All and all my husband and I will be returning again, one of the things we loved was to sit on our balcony and watch the sun set with a glass of wine, so as I said before, please don’t take that away. (I should mention that they did kindly make us a plate of nibbles and a glass of wine that evening)
Thank you and we hope to return again soon. I’ll post pics soon.

What a wonderful place. Ann and her husband are so friendly. Love that the rooms are so ocean front. Nice little balcony perfect to just hang out and read. Breakfast was really good something for everybody. Coffee and tea all day. wine in the evenings The whole place has radiant heat floors so it is warm and cozy. 2 Nights was not enough we will be back hopefully sooner than later.

Great get-​away place to relax. Right on Miramar Beach. Room with balcony, great king bed, spectacular views, delicious included breakfast in the comfortable lobby/​great room or on our balcony if we wished. (We packed our favorite wine for the balcony at sunset). Ambiance is bright, cheerful and welcoming. A perfect weekend. We loved it and will return.

We wanted to get away from the city and see, heart and smell (in a good way) the ocean. We found this place and love it. So much that we actually extended our stay. Luckily it is off season so they had a vacancy.
The place is right on the sandy beach, you can get bikes from the hotel and ride either the coastal trail or the beach. Being the Pacific you get gorgeous sunsets over the ocean.
This is more like a b&b, so you get personal attention, a huge, fresh breakfast, coffee and tea all day and possibly fresh baked cookies in the afternoon.
For dinner you could go right next door, where also delicious cocktails are served.
Can you tell we loved our stay?! I hope so. And I hope we’ll be back.

By far the best Bed and breakfast! Beds are super comfy, the staff is amazing, Dana as well as the new owner are terrific. We’ve stayed there a couple years ago and thought it was great but the new owner is terrific! We always visit Sams chowder house for lobster rolls, highly recommend reservations! The breakfast at the inn in the morning is wonderful! The snacks and wine in the evening are above and beyond expectations. We will be back.

This is the BEST place to come to for a little R&R with the husband. The sounds of the waves crashing during the day and night is unbeatable. We stayed in the Russian River Valley room which was the only available room since we booked last minute. We were hesitant to book it since it says it has partial ocean view but if you are on the balcony, it looks like a full view to me and we left our door open a bit so with the sounds of the waves crashing, we definitely weren’t disappointed! The rooms have been updated a bit since the photos on their website and it has that small town home feel the moment you step into the B&B. It is very quiet and I would not recommend for children. The innkeepers are so wonderful and make sure you have everything you need for your stay. They have delicious wine and appetizers in the evening to enjoy and you can choose to have breakfast delivered to your room in morning or sit in the dining/​living room. We chose the room service. The food was delicious! My husband and I are counting down the days until we can return!

My Golden Retriever, Rosie, and I just spent a wonderful 24 hours at this lovely B&B. Right outside the door is a dog-​friendly beach. Landis Shores is so nice and the hostesses are the best! Can’t beat falling asleep to the sound of waves crashing. Wonderful wine and appetizers at night, large breakfast in the morning, all included. Can’t wait to return.

Absolutely Incredible views, service and accommodations. Highly recommend. Our Room was clean, they wheeled in a cot for my daughter, and even had great wine and snacks in the later afternoon.
Dana is an incredible hostess for this property and it shows from the minute that you speak with her on the phone, as well as when you meet her in person. As another review points out, I’m almost hesitant to share this as the place a a complete gem — I don’t want it to be booked up the next time I want to come; but these guys here at Landis deserve all the repeat business they will get.
Well Done!

We had the most wonderful weekend here! The attention to detail and the personal service really puts this place over the top. Our room, the Tuscany, faced right onto the ocean, about 25 feet away. All you hear is the waves. Everything was clean and comfortable. The floors are beautiful stone tiles and are heated! Ok, the balcony and windows show some wear from their proximity to the ocean, which did not distract one bit from the overall beauty of the place. Special kudos to Roxanne who accomodated my dietary restrictions, had a spectacular bottle of wine, roses and chocolate covered strawberries for my birthday waiting when we got there, (ordered ahead by my husband.). We found the whole experience blissful.

I booked room 5÷15÷15 For Landis Shores Oceanfront Inn received my Reservation (confirmation #27 147 560) and today me and my wife packed our vehicle this morning, looking forward to a relaxing weekend. We drove all the way from Stockton and arrived at the hotel to check in, lady told us that there were no vacancies and that somebody else had booked a room before us. They never bothered to call instead they sent an email. I never bothered to check my email after checking my email confirming we had a reservation. They should have called us to let us know we were cancelled. And then to top it off when my wife and I were figuring out what to do next as we were dumb founded in their parking lot. The lady called me and told me to leave the parking lot. Lol I have to laugh because they had no problem calling us to leave the parking lot but no courtesy to call us to let us know our reservation was cancelled. Landis Shores wasted our time and wasted our weekend.

I almost don’t want to post a review for this place because I want to be greedy and not share this amazing hidden gem… lol. But that just wouldn’t be right. because Mr. & Mrs. Landis have done a wonderful job in the hospitality industry in HMB. This was the perfect place for us to get away and celebrate. Cozy room, gorgeous views, and great service.

Arrived in HMB without lodging plans. Strolled by Landis Inn and decided to stop in an see about a room. We were greeted by Lizette who showed us a room that was available that night. We checked into the Porta and moved in for the night! Lizette was wonderful. Explaining the history of the inn and showing us the features of our room and the amenities that went with it. Full ocean view! Jetted tub, queen size bed, gas fireplace and two cozy rocking chairs. Small balcony facing the ocean that was right across the street! We then were turned over to Janet our inn keeper for the night. Wonderful woman who set up the wine and appetizers from 4:30−6 and made our most yummy breakfast AND delivered it to our room!!! We loved the property and where it was located and will definitely be back!!!

Great view! The room was nice, with a comfortable bed. The bathroom was very nice with a self cleaning soaking tub. The staff was very friendly. What a great day at half moon bay.

We just returned home from our stay, and we loved the experience! The trip was a surprise, as I had just been proposed to by my boyfriend and he had this weekend escape planned to celebrate.
We stayed in the Champagne room, the only room that allows dogs. When we arrived, we received a lovely tour by the innkeeper, and went in to our room. The first thing that we saw were the beautiful roses, the champagne, and chocolate covered strawberries. What a treat!
There was also a nice basket with treats and such for my dog. That always makes me happy.
The room was very comfortable. I agree with some reviews that the décor could use updating, but that is minor.
The breakfast each morning was yummy, and the wine hour was very fun.
The staff was exceptionally friendly, they do a wonderful job of making you feel at home.
All-​in-​all, this was such a wonderful place to relax and celebrate. We will be back!

Five stars for the people and location
Minus two stars for condition/​cleanliness of exterior of unit/​balcony.
I know coastal climate is hard on buildings. I know 2^nd story is difficult to access on outside.
But as the host of «Hotel Impossible» often says, a property chooses how to market itself. And LS presents itself as an upscale, luxury property and prices that way. Not going to pile on by listing each item, but pretty much everything exterior/​balcony evidenced prolonged, continued neglect. This is a relatively new property, so the condition is not something I would have expected.
I probably wouldn’t stay there again.

I was so very disappointed with my stay at Landis Shores. I found this place through Unilocal and thought that with all the good reviews, it will be a perfect place to spend our wedding anniversary getaway. We booked our room at the last minute and for only one night. So it seems like there is a 2-​night minimum for the other ocean facing rooms, so we were given the Russian River Valley room, which has a partial view of the ocean. It was fine for us, since we were planning to be out most of the day anyway.
My biggest and most important issue with this place is their bed… First of all, the comforter did not look freshly cleaned. It has a little musty smell. I know the sheets are clean and we don’t sleep on the top comforter, but it grossed me out anyway. Secondly, The bed was way too soft for comfort. After a sleepless night on this bed, I later discovered that there is a very thick padding, not a real mattress pad, underneath the sheets.
Also, breakfast was terrible. It was supposedly freshly made cinnamon swirl french toast with real maple syrup, but they tasted like they came out of the frozen boxes. I have had those and they are bad. Needless to say, we did not eat ours and stopped at Peet’s coffee on our way home to get something to eat.
With $ 279/​night rate +tax, I expected a lot more from this place. Ocean front is great, but this place is horrible. I will not come back to stay at this place or recommend it to anyone. I am sure there are better places to stay in the area.

We’ve been back 3 times since then and are going for our 15 year anniversary the Fourth of July weekend. I can’t wait! This place is amazing all around! Can’t wait!

I stayed her for my birthday and was not disapponted:) Breakfast brought to your room, personal touch, very private and rooms mostly facing the ocean. The people in charge were very friendly. Jacuzzi in the bathroom, heated floor:) i fell asleep with the sound of the waves. Definitely
coming back.

Had another great time. The view is amazing you can throw a rock in in the ocean from my balcony. Or at least you can, I throw like a girl. My only complaint would be the price 380.00 with tax ouch. But that really not their fault. My financial difficulties are none of your damn business!
