We had a lovely, relaxing, and peaceful stay at the Inn at San Benito House, and would not hesitate to recommend it to friends and family. It's a boutique property of seven individual rooms, each with their own private full bathroom. The bed was incredibly comfortable, the room was tastefully decorated, and careful attention was paid to the little details. It was incredibly quiet throughout the evening. We cannot wait to return.

Lovely little place with so much charm. Cantina food and hospitality is 10/10. The options for outdoor dining, nighttime bonfires, and peaceful garden vibes really make this inn special. I can see weddings, business events and more happening here! Each room is a little different. I slept in #207 ensuite office style- bridal suite style room that faces the front of the building. Gorgeous natural light which I think the vanity should face as it would enhance the getting ready experience (Has a private bedroom and shared bath) The fold out bed is too small for the average adult but was ok for one night as I am only 5’2” and 120 lbs. The heated toilet seat and bidet are honorable mentions. The town is very walkable, bike-able and 10 min drives to the beach is perfect! It was a busy weekend with families visiting and a live band so you have a diverse range of experiences awaiting. Hope to be back soon! Thanks for having us 🫶🏾
