A Victorian Garden Hideaway Overlooking Monterey Bay

Set atop an oceanfront bluff overlooking the sweeping curve of Monterey Bay, Monarch Cove Inn is a romantic retreat surrounded by century-old gardens and a protected monarch butterfly habitat. The 1895 Victorian mansion houses nine individually appointed guest rooms that blend antique furnishings with modern comforts, and several rooms offer ocean views. Two pet-friendly cottages tucked behind the main house feature full kitchens and private patios. Guests can stroll the bluffs to Capitola Village or follow a eucalyptus-lined path through the butterfly sanctuary to New Brighton State Beach. Stays include a continental breakfast delivered to the room each morning.
