    Monarch Cove Inn is located on historic Depot Hill in Capitola, California. Poised on an ocean cliff, the Monarch Cove Inn looks out onto the breathtaking curve of Monterey Bay. Accommodations are intimately nestled among flower filled gardens and a monarch butterfly habitat. Enjoy a memorable stay on our 2.5 acre estate with uniquely appointed Victorian guestrooms and cottages, which are a thoughtful blend of yesterday and today. We are conveniently located within walking distance to Capitola Village. You can also stroll along the eucalyptus-lined pathway through the Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary that leads to New Brighton State Beach. Breakfast is served to your room daily.

    Great Weekend Getaway
    Beautiful property location, walkable to downtown Capitola and beach. Our room was spacious, and the gas fireplace kept us cozy warm in the evening. The Monarch is located in a lovely residential neighborhood which lends to the peaceful ambiance.

    Great time.
    My wife and I & our Great Dane stayed in the smaller cottage. Extra bonus was the fenced in backyard. We arrived on a Sunday late afternoon. Parking was tricky as there are not many options. After the weekend guests left we almost had the whole place to ourselves. A nice…

    Quiet, cozy B&B
    We had a 2-day stay for a birthday get away. We had a very nice room with a gas fireplace. The grounds were beautiful even for February. The only slight downside was that the bathroom was a bit small. Breakfast was delivered to the room at a time we designated; so we just…

    Monarch Cove
    We stayed two nights at Monarch Cove Inn. Very cozy place at the end of the road with a nice view of the ocean. Very peaceful and cute rooms nicely appointed. Easy parking and dog friendly. We will be back the next time we head north!

    Perfect - even in the rain!
    I had heard much about the Inn and I read other reviews. First of all any negative comments I read were TOTALLY ridiculous! This Inn is perfect! We loved the quaint vintage style of our cottage- the Holiday House. With a fenced yard for our pup, a darling kitchenette and the…

    Which rooms have a King Size Bed and a Private Jacuzzi?
    The Hideaway Suite does not have a king, it has a queen (as of May 2017), but it has the private Jacuzzi.

    Does the Monarch Cove offer discounted Monterey Bat Aquarium tickets?
    We will be booking the "Hideaway Suite" this week to celebrate our 13th anniversary. We are anticipating quiet, relaxing, and private alone time away from our 5 children. Im wondering if the room has a fireplace inside? Also, will extra towels be provided for jacuzzi use? Lastly, is the private patio actually private? With a gate that possibly closes? I can't really tell by looking at the photos online. Any input will be greatly appreciated :)
    Is there an area to park? Also, is there a fee?
    Shadowbrook Restaurant is the restaurant that Kingofhearts is talking about, and it is a historical beautiful place to eat dinner

    "We stayed in the small cottage. One room with king bed & tv with bathroom and kitchenette."
    "We recommend the rooms overlooking the ocean. But, I’m sure they all have advantages."
    "Just ask, or simply check out their website, and they provide details about the rooms available."
    "Those stand alone cottages have people parking right in front of them, avoid!"
    "Excellent views of the ocean!"
