Brandon was very helpful & accommodating with all my questions prior to our stay. His winery & dining recommendations were on point. We had a great stay overall and will definitely be back. The “continental breakfast” was; making your own instant oatmeal, premade coffee, a loaf of pre-sliced lemon or coffee cake, granola bars and apples to go. Seemed very limited and no where to sit, you had to take it back to your room. Not the worst but not the best. However now that we know, we can bring our own food options for our next stay.

Room was clean and fresh, staff was friendly and very helpful, and there was free coffee and baggles but that was it. I don't recall if pets was allowed. But other than it was a great inn to stay.

Overall great place for the price. Easy walking to the beach and boardwalk path. Beds were comfortable. Continental breakfast could have been better. We got there half way through and there was very little left.

The ocean is not visible unless you are standing in the patio area. The front desk clerk stated that breakfast would be available in the lounge at 7:30 am, when actually it is a continental style meal that is served. The property was clean and well manicured.

All Moonstone Beach properties have easy beach walk access and this is no exception. The room was clean and except for an odd step up on the threshold, perfectly nice. Most folks were enjoying the clear coastal weather and the big annual Christmas Fair at Cambria Pines and there were shuttles available right outside for that purpose.

Our room was spacious and well equipped. There was easy beach access. Our only complaint is that at check-in they gave us no information and didn’t tell us how to get to our room. We had to figure it out. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay.
