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.

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!
