Captain's Inn at Moss Landing

8/10 Good

"Our first time with fully self check in. I had a little issue receiving access instructions, but was able to connect to someone over the phone and they were very helpful. Very charming building and decor and very conveniently located. I would stay again."

Capurro Ranch at Moss Landing - Moss Landing House - 5BR with cottage at Elkhorn Slough

10/10 Excellent

"Our family spend 4 nights and enjoyed every moment. There was plenty of space for everyone both inside the house and in the backyard where we utilized the fire pit and made s’mores. My family utilized the well stocked board game/puzzle library. It’s a quick drive to Moss Landing State park where we watched the sunset on the beach. Despite not being in Monterey, the drive was really quick. Everyone in the family said the beds and pillows were comfy and contributed to a good night of sleep."
