“We'll be back!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

Our stay at this B & B was our first taste of Mexico. Our last vacation had been camping in Hawaii, a return trip for me and the first for my hubsand. I was initially resistant to exploring Mexico, preferring usually to camp and be outdoors. However, long story short, we're planning our return trip to Mazatlan. Jim and Candace were an integral part of this decision.Not only did they provided us a safe, clean, and beautiful place to stay, they continually found ways to help us make the most of our time.
Our room was very clean, the view was wonderful, and the location was ideal. We spent a lot of hours walking from the B&B to places like the Gold zone, the lighthouse, the historic district. We felt extremely safe walking to all areas and during our time spent there. The close proximity to the historic district was a real treat. We spent most nights down in the Plaza listening to live music and enjoying a variety of wonderful restaurants.
We looked forward to breakfast.The food and coffee were great and the conversations with Candace and Jim a real highlight.
Finally, I particularly enjoyed that I was not sharing my space, even if the B&B would have been full, with a crowd of people.

This was our second stay at this bed and breakfast. Two consecutive New Years in Mazatlan with The Ocean Front Inn. The Inn is well located close to Old Town and a short cab ride to the Gold Zone. The property is ocean front. We have choen room 6 both visits, located on the second level fronting the ocean. We like that room as it's adjacent to the living room, dining room and kitchen. Daily maid service keeps this place spotless. There is also a balcony to enjoy the sun and sunsets. This visit we enjoyed a heated pool, too. The hospitality of the owners adds much to our stay. Jim and Candice Penn are very welcoming and versed in what is happening around town. Enjoyable breakfasts were served on the patio with ocean views. Mazatlan is full of happy, friendly people. We felt safe throughtout our stay. The cruise ships are not stopping here. Local business has adjusted prices to attract business. Taxi's and Pulmonia's are readily available. Our second stay was most enjoyable.

Room Tip: Rooms away from the ocean front are available if a quiet sleep is required. If an ocean view is req...

“The best place to stay in Mazatlan”

Skip the "zona dorada" and stay with Candace and Jim Penn in their lovely and comfortable B & B located within walking distance of the historic area. We traveled to Mazatlan years ago and stayed in the zona dorada which was "ok", but this stay was superb and we plan on returning. Candace and Jim share their vast knowledge of Mazatlan, and are delightful hosts just as everyone says. Our room was dreamy with a fridge included, and a patio overlooking the ocean.
We even had access to the kitchen to cook when we didn't want to eat out. We felt safe walking around, even after dark, although we never came back too late.

This B and B is just the best. Hosts are generous wirh their time and information concerning Mazatlan .The breakfasts are better than a resort and much more relaxing. There are lots of little extras A REAL REFRIG IN THE ROOM etc. The Inn is just a wonderful place away from home ,from the spacious terraces to the outstanding sunsets. We keep extending our time here each year. Dagmar and Bill

Room Tip: We pick room #5 because of location and it has 2 beds!!!!

“Best vacation ever!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2011

Just got back from our 2 week "belated" honeymoon. We couldn't have chosen a better place to stay - Jim and Candace made us feel right at home. We loved the location - we walked everywhere and never once feared for our safety. Words can't express what a great time we had so I won't even try but...we will definitely be back!

Room Tip: Room # 6 is our favorite - we had a magnificent ocean view to watch the sunrise and sunsets.
