Wonderful service, great room, beautiful location and great breakfast.
The BD is one of many seaside hotels on Moonstone Beach, a very nice place to stay in general. The room I was in was clean and had a kind-of-an-ocean view (really, only the few rooms on the road have a real view). It was clean, roomy for me (I was alone) and the walk along the boardwalk made my mornings.
We had a great stay and decided to stay an extra night as the area is so relaxing as peaceful
Make it part of your journey if doing the pacific coast drive !!!
Amazing view of the coastline from the property on the oceanside rooms. Would highly recommend for mature travelers who want a quiet place to unwind and relax.
This was just the best place!
I cannot wait to come back and stay again!
I loved everything about my stay and so did my husband.
Surprise trip for his 60th birthday!
The cookies were delicious too!

We stayed there while we went to the christmas market, the bus shuttle was 2 hotels down for the market..
Booked last minute. Ground Room/patio has the view of the ocean but we wish cars/trucks didnt park right by the room blocking the view. Property needs to put a sign otherwise it defeats the “ocean view” and they charge $$ for it. Otherwise, we had an excellent stay. Good location. Nice clean quiet simple room right by the boardwalk. Small property.
