We stayed in the Mariner cottage (farthest from the road) because we were scared off by previous reviews that indicated that the front cottage was too close to the road and traffic. In all honesty, when we were there, there simply wasn't enough traffic for that to be an issue. Perhaps in peak season it could be annoying, but if... more

After reading the previous review 2 days before our trip we began to panic a bit. This was our 20th wedding anniversary trip and we really wanted a good experience. I called the office to confirm the check-in location at the Sand Pebbles, and asked if breakfast was still delivered, and was told by the nice lady that it would... more

I booked the most expensive of 3 cottages described as 'peaceful, tranquil and private' (Seascape) for a Sunday night stay. On our arrival at 4.00pm we found the Dolphin Inn, where an e-mail a few weeks previously had told us to check in, closed and obviously undergoing a major renovation. A note on the back of the building directed us... more

We stayed in "The Mariner" cottage, and it was fantastic. Overall experience was superior. The staff was very pleasant, courteous, and accomodating. The cottage we stayed in was very clean, in a great location, very comfortable, in a scenic & romantic setting, and contained all the amenities we needed & more. Since this was our anniversary celebration, we received a... more

My husband and I have just returned from a drive along PCH 1 from LA to Monterey and spent 2 delightful evenings in the Garden Gate Cottage which is one of 3 available at the Moonstone Cottages in Cambria. What a delight...quiet, romantic, beautiful. We enjoyed watching the sunset, walks along the beach, and just quiet time! The cottage was... more

We stayed in the Mariner cottage. The room was dusty. Mirrors over bar sink & coat hooks were smudged noticeably. Shower had a couple strands of hair in it - not from us. The stuffed bear on the bed also had hair (not from us) on it as well. We watched the maid going from cottage to cottage cleaning on... more

I first saw a review of the Moonstone Cottages in Sunset Magazine, and I can honestly say that our stay in the Mariner's Cottage exceded our expectations. The cottage is comfortable, and a wonderful place to unwind from the world. I highly recommend the property, and the Blue Dolphin Inn staff, which manage the cottages, are wonderful. In particular the... more

We stayed in the Mariner's Cottage last year on our anniversary and are going again this year for our anniversary. It obviously made quite an impression on my husband. We have stayed at many b&bs around California and have had quite a lovely time. But this was unique since it was just you and your honey. If you're looking for... more

Moonstone Cottages is the most unique vacation spot I have ever been to. We had our own private cottage, practically on the beach. The gardens were fantastic and full of color. The rooms were designed with the best in mind. Everything was so extravagent. But most of all it was private. We had the best time. more
