Captain's Inn at Moss Landing
Enjoy and relax adjacent to a river that is headed out to sea through the sand dunes. Wonderful waterfront views and wildlife watching including birds and seals. Historic Pacific Coast Steamship Company building plus a newly built boathouse by the shore. Private baths, soaking tubs, and romance showers. Coastal, nautical décor. Queen/King pillow top beds with quilts or comforters and feather pillows. Robes provided. Home cooked breakfast every morning. Walk to ocean beaches, harbor, antique shopping, wetlands, music at local venues, art studios, and dining. Central Monterey Bay close to Santa Cruz and Monterey/Carmel.
A unique feature of this fine inn is the boathouse beds. Each room has a bit of nautical whimsy with each bed set having been created from an actual boat. You may sail away to a calm weekend on a racing boat with a sail canopy, enjoy tranquil days upon a wooden fishing vessel complete with wheelhouse, or peacefully drift with a canoe along the river.
There is a library and guidebooks to the area. There is an outdoor smoking area. Business traveler services such as fax and voicemail. Massage available on site.
