A fireplace and air conditioning in all rooms allow guests to enjoy this B&B in any season. Each room offers cable TV with satellite and pay-per-view channels available. En suite bathrooms are offered with either bathtub or shower. Free toiletries are provided.

The accommodation was just what we were looking for. The hospitality and welcome was exceptional. We were sorry we weren’t able to stay for breakfast as we had to leave earlier than 9am but thank you so much for the lovely goody bag (lovely muffins) that we took with us along with some freshly brewed coffee in a travel cup. Everything at The Inn has been carefully thought out to make customers feel welcome.

    Location is right on the beach and some nice touches with the bonfire on the beach at night ( though a little pricey) Its situated just of the highway, so a great stop off on the way to Santa Cruz or San Fran

    The location right on the beach is excellent, however, it is too far to walk into Monterey town from this location.
