Shutters on the Beach

We've been faithful customers of Shutters for 25 years, and just when we thought it couldn't get any better, they raised the bar...again. The "new attitude" of personal connections and warm, welcoming behavior permeated every level and person at the property. They've elevated the experience to a new level. We were absolutely delighted. The staff's attentiveness and willingness to go the extra mile to make you happy is clearly evident. Combine that with the oceanfront location, magnificent property, and stellar onsite amenities, and you have the formula for a wonderful holiday. We love this property and always have such a wonderful time.

At check-out the receptionist asked me how my stay had been. Without hesitating I said, perfect in every way. And it was. It had long been a dream of mine to stay at Shutters on the Beach & I decided to treat myself, figuring that if you’re doing it you *have* to do it right & be overlooking the ocean. I booked a partial ocean view room & then fretted endlessly about what that meant, would I have a balcony etc etc. After a couple of emails in advance requesting high floor, balcony, seeing at least some ocean, I arrived after an 11 hour transatlantic flight to find that they had accommodated me in every way. My room (730) was stunning & the sunset view as I checked in, sublime. During my 4 night stay I enjoyed every aspect of the hotel - from the wonderfully well appointed room, fabulous breakfast at Coast, lovely sundowners on the balcony of the Lounge bar, complimentary bike rental, to the amazingly friendly staff (special mention to Lisa at Coast, who was bubbly & helpful as I prevaricated over wine choices, & the effortlessly attentive & friendly Tim in the Lounge). I switched over to Casa del Mar one night for a drink & charcuterie platter at their bar - lovely but, for me, not a patch on the Cape Cod beachy vibes at Shutters. My only regret was that I had to leave. I am already planning my next trip.

After initially booking a different hotel we decided we wanted more facilities so walked down to check out Shutters. After a drink in the lounge we booked it for the next 5 nights. Our room was fantastic with a large comfy bed. The facilities including the pool deck and the bars and eateries were spot on. Great location for walking out or just watching the craziness of Santa Monica pass by.
