    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.

    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…

    A hidden gem on Depot Hill in Capitola!
    From the moment we were shown our beautiful room by Carolyn, we knew this was going to be a wonderful stay. And, it was! The room was spacious and the furnishings just right for the Victorian Room. BUT, the bed needs to be a KING size! There’s plenty of space for a larger…

    Pet Friendly, Quaint and Beautiful Slice of Capitola Heaven!
    My 2 girlfriends and I stayed at this adorable B&B last weekend. We found this place via Google. The women running it were super gracious and responsive about details on how to get to the cottages, which are in a neighborhood along the water. Very clean, super spacious rooms.…

    Staycation at the Monarch Cove Inn
    We enjoyed our staycation at the Monarch Cove Inn in Capitola. We stayed in the Ocean View Room. It had a nice view of the bay, a warm fireplace, and a comfy bed. We walked around the neighborhood of Depot Hill, watched the sun set, had dinner in the village, and relaxed in our…

    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 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!"
    "Different sizes are available for different needs. I chose this place because it had a dog-friendly room. Look on line or call ahead."
