A Charming Stay at Monarch Cove Inn My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of staying in the Rose Garden Room at the Monarch Cove Inn, and it was nothing short of magical. The room itself was incredibly clean, spacious, and cozy—with its own kitchen and living space, it truly felt like a home away from home. We immediately felt comfortable and at ease. The property is like something out of a storybook—an old-style house nestled among beautiful gardens, blooming flowers, and towering trees, all with a breathtaking view of the ocean. It’s the kind of place that invites you to slow down and enjoy every little detail. Katrina greeted us when we arrived and gave us a lovely introduction to the property. She was so kind and welcoming, making us feel like old friends rather than guests. We also had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Bob, who was equally warm and friendly. It’s clear that everyone here genuinely cares about making your stay special. Breakfast was just perfect—adorably presented and delicious. It was the perfect start to our mornings, enjoyed with a view that we’ll never forget. We couldn’t have asked for a more peaceful and charming getaway. Monarch Cove Inn is a hidden gem, and we’re already looking forward to coming back.

The office manager was so sweet! She walked me over to my room while talking about the grounds and pointing out the nearby trail and multiple seating areas overlooking the ocean. To top off the experience, her adorable 4-year old pup led the way! This was the most welcome, charming check-in I’ve ever had. Thank you!!!

Hidden Gem

The company offered a delicious breakfast! The grounds were beautiful, and we hiked and spent time outdoors. I wish we had gone during the fall to see the Monarch Butterflies. The staff was super friendly. We would stay there again. We stayed in the mansion with a view of the ocean. We walked to Capitola and back.

Our Ocean Mist room was awesome. We did have to lug our baggage up a flight of stairs. Breakfast is continental so don't think you are getting the regular bed and breakfast type meal. But the views from the room and it's spaciousness were so worth staying here.

Really nice French pastries and friendly service. Front office staff was very sweet. The carpet needs replacing and the insulation wasn’t very good so there was a cool draft. No security on site and place didn’t feel very secure, although general area is safe and pretty affluent
