There is a nice view of the ocean from the property, but that is about the only positive thing I can say. The 2 bedroom cottage we stayed in was very run-down. The carpets were dirty, paint is peeling, and furniture is worn. The bathroom is dark and tub is in poor shape. Also, the rooms smelled of mildew. I... More

The only good thing about this place is the location and the view. We stayed in one of the best rooms the Ocean View Room with indeed a stunning view. The room was furnished with flea market furniture. The mattress was soft, the room dirty, a big gap under the entrance door causing a draft when you were inside the... More

Let me begin by saying the location is beautiful. You cannot see the water from your room, but you might be able to hear it. Walking around the grounds, you'll smell the trees and hear the water- but you won't get close to either really. The property is fenced - distorting the view and the most appealing part of the...

The location is stunning. We stayed in one of the cottages, Carriage House. This was our experience. The glass front door was broken and covered with 1/8" flimsy panneling, not even plywood! Also the windows in the bedrooms had no locks. NO SECURITY The bed sheets had holes in them. The carpets were very worn and dirty. There was a... More

My boyfriend and I stayed Friday and Saturday night. From the minute we drove onto the property and parked, we were in awe. The view and the grounds were breathtaking. Everything was so well landscaped, manicured and clean. When we met the staff and saw our room, it just got better. We stayed in the Ocen View room (highly recommended).... More

I love the rooms at Monarch Cove. Each one has it's own personality and quirks. With the building being over 100 years old I think it's neat to hear the wood creak along with the waves crashing. I will go back here every year for my anniversary. It is a special and gorgeous place to get away.

Travelled to Capitola in August with fiance and elderly aunt - so needed a suite. I reserved the Ocean Mist suite in May. To make a long story short, a wedding taking place at the inn the day after we'd be there wrought havoc with our reservation as rooms were overbooked, etc. and the problems dragged on and on. In...

We stayed in the Victorian room. All the remodeling and updated furniture is beautiful. Great view, quiet, and yummy morning breakfast. We were there Wed-Friday which I'm sure helped with the cost and quietness. We have stayed here almost every-year since married and so glad it is still here to visit. 15 years ago we were married on the patio... More

Room was dirty, upstairs very noisy. I asked about a view when I book the room, they said there was...well, there was as long as the room next door had their curtains open. The toilet was dirty. II asked about parking...they said plenty, and no problem...well, then I was blocked in by another car, and needed to leave for an... More
