Top Moonstone Beach Hotel Reviews

Silver Surf Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was awesome, check in and out was super easy. The room was tidy as well, and was easily accommodating for pets. Would definitely stay again if I’m in the area."

FogCatcher Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great hotel. The room was nice and clean. We had plenty of clean towels and the in room coffee was very good. The bathroom had nice soap, lotion and amenities. The only negative things were the windows that were difficult to open and the cushions on the chair that were very old. I wished we had more time as it was in a great location."

Pelican Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"What a beautiful setting right on Moonstone beach, feet away from the small boardwalk and beach/cliffs. Some rooms have beautiful ocean views. They are slowly remodeling the rooms and we were in one of the newly redone ones. It was very spacious with extremely high-end finishes and tastefully done. Bed was very comfortable with pillowtop. Bathrooms were beautiful. Once all the rooms are completed I'm sure this will be a top destination."
