My partner Cat and I’s wedding at Sou Wester was an absolutely magical experience that left us overflowing with gratitude. From the moment we stepped onto the property, we were enchanted by its unique beauty. The rustic charm and natural surroundings create an atmosphere that's truly one of a kind.
What made our experience even more special was the incredible staff. Each member went above and beyond to make our day perfect. Their kindness and helpfulness throughout the entire event were genuinely heartwarming. They are such a dedicated and caring team, and we couldn't be more thankful.
A special shout-out to their event coordinator, Mary Korte. Mary's clear communication, warmth, and unwavering support made the wedding planning process seamless. We are forever grateful.
Sou Wester has become one of our favorite places to stay. We look forward to returning here for many years to come, reliving the memories of our special day and enjoying the tranquility and beauty of this remarkable property. Sou Wester holds a special place in our hearts, and we can't recommend it enough to anyone seeking a truly exceptional and memorable wedding experience and cozy oceanside retreat. Thank you, Sou Wester, for making our dreams come true!
It's not the Ritz Carlton, it's an experience, and unique, place to visit. They have live music every so often. It's very off beat path, if that's what you're into, this is the place.
Enjoy razor clamming, if it's in season. Long trails along the beach. In the summer it's a little too crowded for me LBW is very crowded in the summer.
Had our wedding here, and it was an absolutely magical experience. Mary the venue coordinator is a gem of a human - that rare combination of calm positivity combined with being on top of everything. Truly the best part of our planning was working with her.
Our guests loved the glamping vibe, the sauna, tea trailer, being so close to the ocean, the vinyl and VHS libraries, smores over the firepits and late night hangs in the lodge.
Local businesses are very accommodating - shout out to North Beach Tavern for delivering some late night pizza, the Loose Kaboose for pushing together a bunch of tables for an impromptu pre-rehearsal dinner, Nansen for great florals, North Jetty for solid beer and Adrift for their delicious cranberry infusions. Sierra's Place around the corner saved many a hungover wanderer.
Ok, this place is delightful. I'm staying in the Old Spartan. It is so charming in here, and comfortable. A bit of a walk to the beach, but you can hike for miles while you're here. The whole place has a chill vibe. The Sauna is incredible! Great coffee every morning. ( Though I'm playing with the French press in my trailer today, that's pretty lovely too. ) I needed to get away and this was the perfect retreat. Did have a snag with the shower, but they sent someone over right away to fix it. The staff is lovely. I attended a sound bath with acupuncture, which was a great event. They have lots of good things going on regularly. Recommend this place wholeheartedly. Just keep in mind, these are vintage trailers, they're not perfect, but they're fun. And the staff will help you with any quirkiness.
We haven't stayed onsite as we are locals but we love the sauna and the live music. The property is so charming and unique. It a gem to see vintage be restored and cherished vs. tossed aside. Love the local artists who come to create and share their work here. Thank you Sou' wester for being 1 of a kind!
