    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! And yes, they are COVID-19 conscious.

    Handicapped parking space. The high bathtub may not be suitable for mobility impaired, so ask if this is an issue.

    We loved our second COVID-19 visits in June and July 2020. We love the safety of the standalone cottages, and will return, even when it is safer to travel and dine like before March 2020. You can charge your electric car at the Blue Dolphin, where you register and pick up your cottage key. There is a Tesla Destination charger and a generic one -- subject to availability for guests. Nice layout in The Mariner cottage, the farthest back of the three cottages, where we have stayed twice. It's listed as handicap accessible. We're not handicapped, but the bathtub might be hard to step into if you have mobility issues. There is a handicapped parking space at this cabin. All have nice views. We used the gas fireplace, wet bar, table and 2 chairs facing the ocean, large enough to have dinner or breakfast in suite. Super soft towels and bathrobes, thanks to the soft Cambria water. Amenities in the cottage: microwave, 'fridge, K-cup coffee maker with an ample selection of coffees and teas. Peanut butter and jams packs. Ceramic plates and coffee cups, real silverware and stemless wine glasses. A corkscrew. Complimentary breakfast bag, if authorities allow, which they did in late July 2020, but not in June. We've been visiting Cambria several times a year for over a dozen years, and stayed at most of the Moonstone Beach hotels, including the Blue Dolphin, affiliated with the cottages. I'd be hard pressed to stay anyplace else after experiencing the comfort and security this safe haven has been during this scary travel time.

    These cottages are awesome! There is a group of three. They all have their own special view. The ocean is right across the street, with access to the board walk just a small walk away. To be able to open the door and drink your coffee, eat your breakfast on the front porch and listen and watch the ocean is amazing. I'm only sorry that our trip wasn't longer. I took away a star because we ordered our breakfast to come between 8-830am and it was very late. Other than that...it was great!

    Here I am by the fireplace! Love love love.

    The love of my life and I decided to rent a convertible to drive the Pacific Coast Highway in what is now one of the most romantic things we've ever done together. One of the reasons it was so romantic is that we stayed at the Moonstone Cottages. It was Quaint and Charming, and due to the privacy, we weren't afraid to get a little naughty!! The fireplace inside kept us cozy, and the spa tub easily fit the two of us. We spent half the time in the tub, and the other half in bed. It was well furnished, and had a nice porch for us to sit in our supplied bathrobes during our breaks from just being naked, and watch the sun set over the ocean. Super Romantic. Next door there is a nice bar and grill, and the food is fantastic. There isn't much that is bad about this place, or Cambria in general. The only complaint I would have is that the cottage is not directly on the beach, but on the opposite side of the street. It doesn't detract much, but it's noticable. Nothing to be done about it, but there you are. Food is delivered to your door in the morning, and ours was good. Still might recommend the bar and grill for breakfast, but it's included and tasted good, so no complaints from me!! If you want a romantic getaway, this is the place! Price is a bit steep for a non 5 star room, but I'd stay here again!!!

    Just lovely! We went to Cambria on a whim and booked the Mariner- the cottage in the back. It's not close enough to really hear the waves but the ocean breeze was nice. We ate next door- great service and good Food. The breakfast was so so, but nice that it was delivered on time. Comfy bed and the jacuzzi tub was fun- do NOT add bubble bath! Would probably be great in winter with the fireplace going Highly recommend!

    Fabulous little cottages. Like your own home with a porch, whirlpool tub, fireplace, and ocean views. Breakfast delivered to your door every morning. What's not to like. Bed was also very good.

    cute bear friend in a robe!

    My boyfriend and I stayed here to celebrate both our birthdays! It was super adorable and I loved all of the details. You checked in at Blue Dolphin Inn (about 6 properties away) and they had parking in the back - though the pathway is narrow & windy so no oversized vehicles. We loved how the cottages were its own building so you have a lot of privacy and no shared walls which is really nice. We stayed in the second cottage (Garden Gate) and had a porch with a view of the ocean. The ocean is on the otherside of the road...which is really a 30 second walk away. The bed was really comfy, and came with a bear friend that had its own little robe. They provided you with Kurig capsules (coffee & tea), water in the fridge, cookies, chocolates. The best part was the breakfast the next morning. You called in to day before to order what you'd like and they deliver it to you to your doorsteps. We did have a hiccup with our order, but they were able to give us some extra food to make it up. The jacuzzi tub was the best! It was big enough to fit both of us (and they even provided some bath salts) we got to enjoy the tub and put on fluffy bathrobes after. Overall it was really cute and romantic place to stay at. The amenities put it over the top, and we really wished we could have stayed longer.

    My husband and I wanted to take our 2-year old with us on a little family vacation and the cottages were a perfect fit for us. We stayed in the Mariner, which is the cottage at the very back of the lot. We had a great view of the ocean, but we couldn't hear it. Too far away, and the window at the front of our cottage only opened up a little bit. The three of us fit in the bed just fine, and we were far enough away from the other cottages that, had she made any noise, I very much doubt anyone would have heard. I got up early the next morning to make use of the jacuzzi tub, which was fantastic. They even included bath salts to use. Free breakfast was delivered at 8am and it was perfect portions for all of us, in fact, more than we could eat. Scrambled eggs, small danishes, scones, and yogurt with orange juice. I would definitely stay here again.

LOVE the Aesop products in the room!!! a few downside during my stay were: the few times i went to the front desk, the "out of office" sign was up each time. i wanted to rent a bike to bike around the town, no one was around to assist. i waited about 10-15m each time. they have a fire pit that was on the entire time. i heard they provide s'more kits, but we were not provided with any. there isnt really any pet relief area on site. also, all units do not have AC, only fans. i had no service while i was there. i literally was on SOS. i actually loved it. don't worry, there is wifi avail! i would def book white water again!

This property is owned by a company that owns at least four other properties on Moonstone Beach, and shares with them poor customer service. Examples from a recent stay include Wi-Fi that was frequently nonfunctional, and when complaints were made, we were told either that the problem couldn't be fixed, or couldn't be fixed until the next day because no maintenance staff were available. The rooms, lack decor and character, although the bed was very comfortable. When we asked that the waste baskets be emptied at the beginning of the day, we were told that since we did not make that request the night before, it could not be accommodated because of insufficient custodial staff. When I made this request to the manager on duty, she gave me a look as though I had asked her to donate a kidney. We emptied the baskets ourselves. The property has two fire pits, both of which were essentially nonfunctional. Also, the pool was closed. When they ran our credit card on check-in, they actually immediately charged the entire fee for the stay at once. This is an unusual practice, since most similar properties assess the actual charges for the room at checkout. If you were looking for a place to sleep, steps away from the boardwalk on Moonstone Beach, this will fit the bill, but there are a number of better options steps away from this property.

Unfortunately, our recent stay was a very different experience. Major mold problem in room 815 Stay: May 1st-3rd, 2026. On the final morning of our stay, we discovered what appeared to be black mold above the shower. Because my parents are immunocompromised, we immediately packed up and left. We reported the issue to the front desk at checkout, and the staff member said he would inform management. As of Monday at 1:26 p.m., we have not received any follow-up. Overall, the property has significantly declined and is in need of major updates. The handrails leading to the building were broken and unstable. The furniture is very outdated, and the beds were extremely firm and uncomfortable compared to what we remembered. Several features required maintenance fireplaces were difficult to operate, our front door would not close properly, and our key cards stopped working after the first day, leaving us with only one functioning key despite following all handling instructions. The restaurant experience was inconsistent. Friday night was excellent, but on Saturday there appeared to be a change in chef and bartender, and the food preparation differed noticeably from the menu (for example, the mushrooms). Service, however, was good on both nights. Due to the serious health concern of discovering mold in our room, the lack of follow-up from management after reporting it, and the overall decline in the property's condition and maintenance, we do not feel comfortable returning. Issues with safety, such as broken handrails and a door that would not properly close, along with inconsistent amenities and service, made this stay far below our expectations. What was once a place we loved and looked forward to revisiting no longer meets a standard we can trust, especially when traveling with vulnerable family members.

The rooms were clean and well sized, with large bathrooms and comfortable square layouts. One small note: the shower has a half-glass panel, which doesn't fully prevent water from splashing onto the bathroom floor. Pro tip: bring bedroom slippers, as the stone flooring can get chilly . We booked three rooms (8, 19, and 21). All were decent in size, though lighting varied. Room 8 was the darkest, while Room 19 had the brightest natural light. Most rooms include a fireplace, except Room 21. There is no in-room coffee maker, but complimentary coffee and a light breakfast are provided daily in the lobby. The lobby is small but very inviting, and comfortable with a cozy fireplace and stunning views of Moonstone Beach. There's also a second-floor observation deck with even more panoramic ocean views. An excellent spot to enjoy the sunset with a glass of wine. Plenty of parking is available directly in front of the rooms, making it very convenient. There are complimentary beach bicycles for guests but you have to sign a waiver. We went for an early morning ride along Moonstone Beach Dr. It was fantastic!!
