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.

The Inn is an absolute gem! Very friendly staff and beautiful accomodations, inside and out! Wine by the fire at night and a lovely breakfast in the morning were just two of the highlights of our stay. We plan to return!

Diamond INN the rough!

Just an amazing Inn! The staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Breakfast can be served in the dining area or in your room if you prefer. The ocean is a 5 minute walk and the seals are always nearby. Moss beach distillery is about a 15 minute walk for a cocktail, but beware of the ghost. Blue Lady!

Quiet Getaway Hidden at Moss Beach

It would be very difficult to find a more relaxing place to stay on the California coast. More of a place for couples and not a place to bring the kids (for the sake of those who came to enjoy the quiet and beauty of the surroundings).
