After having to cancel two trips due to COVID-19 we were itching to get out of The OC for a few days and needed some down time. After looking at several other nice accommodations in Cambria, we settled on the Moonstone Cottages because you have your own place, you are not sharing space, handles, elevator buttons etc with other people. We choose The Mariner cottage and it was perfect!! It is in the back but you have an unobstructed view of the Pacific ocean. And since it is in the back, you don't have people walking by your windows, as there are a lot of people walking along Moonstone Beach Dr. Because of COVID they say their breakfast provisions had changed, but each morning they still brought us a bag with apples, yogurt, cheese sticks, orange juice, granola bars and muffins. We really enjoyed our time here and if we come back would definitely consider staying there again. …

We were delighted with our recent stay at the Moonstone Cottages! We stayed in cottage #2, Garden Gate and it was charming. Everything you need is here, just bring the romance. Soft fluffy robes and towels, roomy jacuzzi, good quality amenities, coffee/tea maker, dishes, glasses and silverware. Small refrigerator and microwave too. But since you’re on vacation there is a conveniently located restaurant a few steps away. We spent time enjoying our beautiful view and strolling along the beach. This is definitely a home away from home with an amazing view and intimate local. Kudos Cambria Inns Collection for your superbly appointed rooms and your kind and personable staff. We’ll be back in September!

I’m really late on writing this review. However, if you’re looking for a super nice, private, and quiet escape, then consider Moonstone Cottages. My wife and I have years of experience. We had our first stay in the Mariner cottage in Sep 2011…yes, eight years ago. Then we stayed in Oct 2012, Oct 2013, Mar 2017, Dec 2017 (Christmas), Dec 2018, and we’ve reserved another 3 days this Christmas 2019. We’ve never stayed in the front or middle cottage but we’ve seen them from the outside and they do look nice. However, we like our privacy and the Mariner is the largest of the three cottages and it has EVERYTHING! The jacuzzi only holds one person, so if you’re looking to soak together, then you’ll need to consider the other two cottages. But the bathroom is HUGE and it’s all ADA compliant. We quite enjoy the architecture of the cottages. The Mariner has some very unique inside ceiling pitches in drywall with exposed wood-stained beams. Studying the architecture, you really appreciate what it took to design these cottages around the surrounding trees that are so old and utilization of every space to hold all the conveniences of home. Even though the Mariner is in the back of the property, all three cottages are offset to one another so each one has a view of the ocean. Sometimes I sit and just watch the ocean and try to catch glimpses of whales using the binoculars. The Mariner also has its own dedicated parking space right outside the door and bathroom window. The other two parking spaces are in the rear of the property, but not that far from their rooms. We were so especially pleased with the front desk staff at the Dolphin Inn during our stay Christmas 2017. We knew our restaurant selections would be limited during the holidays but the manager provided us a list of restaurants that would be open during Christmas Eve and Christmas. Now that is customer service that went way beyond what we were expecting (I hope they do it again this year). Even though it was Christmas, they still delivered our breakfast every morning!!! Well, as I said, we’re going there again this Christmas because we are unable to be with family so we’ll make it our mini-vacation. We do live on the Central Coast and are less than an hour away from Moonstone. We are well aware of the other hotel establishments in the area. With our 7th visit fast approaching, we would not consider any other place to stay in Cambria.…

The staff at Moonstone properties continue to exceed expectations. The Seascape Cottage is at the front and right across from the beach. I know of no better value on Moonstone Drive and I've stayed there a lot. The cozy room and jacuzzi-style tub for two was the perfect getaway for our wedding anniversary, and the staff even created and signed congratulations card...SO thoughtful. This is our permanent "place" in Cambria.
