My family went here for a weekend getaway, and the proprietors were lovely. The room was really comfortable (although the bathroom was tiny). We had breakfast delivered to our room (very tasty!). All of the amenities were great.

We visited Shimoda on a cold blustery weekend and loved the warmth of Ernest House. Spacious rooms with everything you need including your own Mac Terminal with internet access!

We really loved our stay there. Rooms are spacious and quiet, wood-lodge atmosphere, food was good and amazing cocktails at the bar. The lend bicycle for free, great to go around since Kisami beach is (beautiful!) right in the middle of the countryside. We had "basket breakfast" to bring and eat on the beach in the morning, love the idea.

Recently visited the Ernest House with a group of friends (mid 20's - 30's) looking for a relaxing weekend away from Tokyo. The hotel was basic but clean; staff were friendly and spoke English well. Just a few minutes walk to the beach (soft sand, clear blue water, pretty scenery, and waves big enough for surfing). Good burgers (but very... More

We spent two days at Ernest House and felt really pampered. They have convenient family rooms, are located just off the beach and provide very nice picnic baskets with breakfast and excellent western style dinners. Very kind and helpful owners.
