I would recommend this place for the view, but not anything else. A friend had stayed here numerous times and invited us to go for the weekend. We were there at the beginning of Nov. 2009 for one night during a big storm. The view is amazing to watch a storm and see huge waves break on the dock. The... more

This place is so outdated! Our room looked and smelled as if it hadn't been cleaned or remodeled since the 70s. From mold in the bathroom, disgusting carpeting, a tv from the 80s, and the most uncomfortable bed, we were disappointed. Great view of the bay, but most people in town were rude and only nice to locals. I couldn't... more

...for fear that you'll make it impossible for me to stay again. This is one of those places where I was prepared to be disappointed, given how nice the photos looked on-line. On the contrary, as soon as we walked in, we were disappointed that we hadn't booked this room for SEVERAL nights... Sitting atop a bluff, the room made... more

This is a PERFECT spot if you are looking to escape somewhere quiet and enjoy the beauty of the ocean. It is a jewel and so nice to find a small place that is not overly commercial and pricey. It's true the rooms are average, but they are certainly adequate, and do have their own charm. The bed was very... more

The owner is rude and charged us more than the price quoted for the reservation. He did not want our dog to stay there even though we had told them about the dog when we made the reservation. He insisted that we vacuum before we left and called us on Valentines Day night to remind us! The room was not... more

We have been going to the Castaway since 1982 when it was not even called the castaway( think it was called Neptune) We try to go there at least twice a year. We have never had a bad experience at the castaway and have nothing but fond memories that will last for years to come. The views from the sunroom... more

The view from the sunporch was amazing. We had our breakfasts (brought in our own) out there and with binoculars watched whales feeding. The port is fascinating to watch, too. The room itself wasn't great. The bathtub looked like it hadn't been cleaned in months and we had no hot water after 10:00am. When I asked the woman in the... more

We stayed at the Castaway by the sea Lodge for 3 days. We had a fabulous time!! It was clean, comfortable, very quiet and best of all very private. The view was AMAZING! Thanks for making our vacation so relaxing!! more

No frills here--what you really get is a spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean right outside your door. We stayed in the "Deluxe" room which isn't at all. The beds are comfortable; the room was clean and quiet. Nothing but the sound of wind and surf. The TV has cable; there is no coffee maker, but you can get coffee... more

Everything here was average but the view. The problem was that you couldn't open the windows on the little porch. We wanted a breeze and to smell the ocean. We were just crashing here, but it was a shame. Have breakfast at the Paradise in town, awesome deal. Spend some serious time on the coast from here south. It's amazing. more
