Great venue & location at heart of Moss Beach!

Location is wonderfully situated in the middle of all things Moss Beach and Half Moon Bay has to offer. There is a short hiking area located just minutes walk nearby for folks that don’t prefer to take a longer journey or just want an easy flat stroll with views of the ocean. Venus and staff are very warm, courteous, and professional. Loved the professional coffee machine and in-room breakfast option which arrived right on time and tasted very good. Warm cookies in the evening is a cute touch after we got back from sightseeing and scrolling. Recommended to bring hiking boots only because there’s a lot of walking and trails nearby.

A Hidden Gem That Feels Like Home

Staying at Seal Cove Inn felt like walking into my long-lost friend’s beach retreat. From the moment we arrived, the entire place radiated warmth, charm, and quiet coastal magic. It wasn’t just a hotel—it felt personal, like we were being welcomed into someone’s lovingly kept home. The rooms were spotless, thoughtfully designed, and incredibly comfortable. Every detail felt intentional. The gardens were serene and the setting just steps from the ocean made it feel like our own little sanctuary. What truly made the experience unforgettable, though, was the staff. Everyone we interacted with was kind, attentive, and genuinely cared about making our stay special. If you’re looking for a peaceful, homey escape with a touch of luxury and soul, this is it. Seal Cove Inn is the kind of place you’ll want to come back to—again and again.

Too many texts. It felt like as soon as you got here they were already reminding you to leave. We got a text at 8:20pm to put our sign out if we wanted our room clean. Then another one at 8:00am it is nearing your time to depart. Check out isn’t until 11am. The text woke us up.

Absolutely perfect. Loved our stay here from the friendly welcome, complimentary drink and breakfast, comfortable bed, lovely room and the surrounding coastal walks. Very convenient for SFO, just sad we didn’t have time to stay more than one night. Highly recommend staying here

Perfect hideaway located by the marine reserve. Staff was very accommodating and friendly. Breakfast was delicious! Unfortunately we had travel delays so did not get to spend much time relaxing and enjoying the grounds as we planned but look forward to coming back.

When we first arrive, we spoke with Stacey she was amazing! She took the time to go over everything. The room was beautiful. We stayed in the 2 bedroom suite full kitchen, with Keurig machine and also have a machine in the lobby, along with soft drinks etc. We would stay here again.

The location is superb along the cliffs of the Pacific. Listening to frogs, waves, and seals sing their night serenades. With a glass of complimentary California wine. A true European experience in this majestic Northern California spot.

We had a wonderful time. The Inn is just a few blocks from the highway but is secluded and peaceful. The Staff was helpful and friendly. Sharon checked us in and later poured us a glass of wine. We sat in the lovely living room to visit. Our room was clean and comfortable The breakfast, that we chose to have in the dining room was delicious. It is a short walk to the bluff and the Cypress grove and the Moss Beach Distillery. The breakfast was delicious.
