10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful little spot. Perfect for our anniversary weekend. Simple, affordable, no frills, clean, and close to the beach."

Sand Pebbles Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The Sand Pebble inn was exemplary as always. Highly recommend the patio rooms. Great to sit out and watch the ocean right across the street"

Fireside Inn on Moonstone Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Great place! Across from the beach. The breakfast was good and the heated pool was a plus! Will definitely stay here again."

Castle Inn

8/10 Good

"The view was amazing and walkable to beach and a great restaurant. The rooms were older but no elevators if you would need it. Chairs in room to sit outside to watch the sea and sunset. Desk clerk was not in a good mood but I suppose we all could have a bad day."

Cavalier Oceanfront Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We were very happy with the accommodations when we got there. Pets are welcomed. Loved our breakfast from the restaurant/ great room service. Love the view of the beach from our room. The staff are great. It's our favorite place for our getaway."

Cambria Beach Lodge

8/10 Good

"Nicely updated Cambria hotel on Moonstone drive, smaller than other hotels with friendly staff. Casual atmosphere, nice breakfast with just the essentials and no fuss. Bed was comfortable. Would recommend for short stays if passing through area."

FogCatcher Inn

10/10 Excellent

"A wonderful hotel in a wonderful place. Staff were very helpful when an unforeseen change of plan arose Definitely stay again David"

White Water

10/10 Excellent

"I was very impressed with this hotel. From the moment we checked in, the girl at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. She also gave me a list of recommendations on dinner and other useful tips about the area. The hotel rooms were very clean and the bedding was nice and comfortable. We had asked for hypo-allergenic pillows which came right away which was appreciated. The hotel also has EV charging. One of the things that really stood out and made me write this review is they gave us a free breakfast picnic basket which had the best freshly squeezed OJ and sparkling beverage (forgot name as I didnt use it) for mimosas if you wanted to make, some fresh pastries from a local bakery, a fresh thermostat of hot coffee and a to go kit for the cream/sugar, and a blanket all inside the basket! We walked like 2 mins down the boardwalk and had an oceanfront picnic on a table. This was something I was not expecting but was a nice touch and something we felt went above and beyond. The hotel also serves smores at night, had some free wine, and had fresh baked cookies which were amazing! The hotel is also right across from the ocean where there is a nice boardwalk you can walk along the beach. They are also dog friendly which is big reason why we stayed there. I highly recommend this hotel for a nice get away! You will not be disappointed. Thanks for a great trip White Water!"

Moonstone Landing

10/10 Excellent

"Views were not as good as expected for price of room. Breakfast was good, but should be served earlier. Rooms were large & comfortable. Otherwise great place to stay.."
