Magical Paradise Experiences from the Lilac Room

Our stay was beautiful and relaxing. It was an experience like no other. Being surrounded by nature , the ocean, and the lush trees and flowers, made for a memorable, peaceful, and rejuvenating paradise experience. We were taken aback by the beauty of this jewel, but most importantly, we felt welcomed and at-home b/c of the friendly , courteous, and kindness of our hostesses. It was a magical experience and we will never forget it. We will definitely be returning. Thank you for sharing the beauty with us and especially for having a sanctuary for its rare wildlife, plant life, and the preservation of our oceans.

Pretty, quaint little house walk to Cap Esplanade

This is a pretty, quaint, very clean, property. We were in the Holiday House, which is a separate little house with full kitchen and deck. Easy, close, walk to the Esplanade. The drawbacks in the house is that the pillows are like a flat sponge. There is no cushion or fluff to them. The linens are washed with a fragrance detergent or maybe fabric softener, so if you are sensitive to that, be aware. The many windows are covered with wood blinds and shear curtains, but you will wake up at dawn with all the light coming in, so bring an eye cover, lol.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The Monarch Cove Inn room accommodations are very nice but could use a larger bar of soap in the bath. So comfortable with separate spaces for relaxing and kitchen for cooking... My husband and I could sit right outside the front door and have a bite to eat . So peaceful. The view of the bay was perfect. We also had the opportunity to see the Monarch butterflies on the property, assist with finding the little caterpillars and observing their habitat. The continental breakfast was an unexpected treat as it was an abundance of fruit and diverse pastry, bagel and cream cheese, coffee and juice served on a platter that looked like it was given much thought and prep time. So appreciated. Loved it! Exceptional staff! A charming spot to enjoy some peace and quiet.
