Meh
Pros:

Just ok. Would not stay again. Rooms were not cleaned well and they were out of soap and other items. Cow tipper restaurant was way over priced and service was rude.

Terrible stay
Pros:

This was a horrible experience. The staff were unprofessional and rude. I was also given incorrect information by their phone staff. The rooms are not air conditioned, stuffy and warm. The interiors are dated and aged. Terrible rooms and terrible staff- I do not recommend this resort and won’t be returning here.

Definitely Reserving Again
Pros:

The only sound was the faint crashing of waves. It's pitch back at night except for the string of patio lights over the courtyard which has a mini gazebo, multiple fire pits surrounded by 4 huge wooden lawn chairs. You have to buy the s'mores kit but they provide the long skewers. On the other end of the gated court yard there are 2 cornhole games, a large tic-tac-toe and horseshoes. At the end of the complex there is another gated area with additional fire pits, lights and beautiful green grass that I walked in on my way back from the beach barefoot multiple times. The room attendants are quick and polite. The rooms were clean and the beds were huge. It gives modern farmhouse vibes which matches the serenity of the area. Our room had 2 queen beds and is definitely room for just 2 adults. It was literally in walking distance to 2 different areas of the beach where we watched the sunrise almost every morning, the state park and the boardwalk. The only time I drove was to go to Linn's but if you love walking, you won't need to drive except to go home. Seriously. The staff has an information chalk board in front of the courtyard where they update the sunset times. I thought that was a sweet note. There is a game room and that is where we had to use the microwave. They are not provided in your room but there is a mini fridge in your room. For the amenities, the price is right. We've stayed at other places over the years on the same street because I like watching the waves from the balcony or windows but I'm no longer interested in that. This place store my heart!

Nice place for families, especially.
Pros:

The hotel is located on Moonstone Beach Drive, about as far down the road as you can go. It is across from the beach, which is accessible by a trail maintained by the hotel staff. To get to the boardwalk, you must cross the road and the bridge over the creek/river. We were in a standard king room (#102). If we were to stay there again, I would definitely want to upgrade a bit because the room is small, there is only 1 table with a lamp, and the bathroom space was reminiscent of Italy (especially the size of the shower. The hotel property has many nice amenities that make it great for families: There is cornhole, ring toss, firepits, etc. There is also an onsite breakfast "restaurant" which we didn't use, because is it closed on Monday and Tuesday. Because the hotel is further down the road from most of the hotels, the road noise is limited, which is nice. Hotel staff are very friendly and helpful.

Regrettable.
Pros:

N/A

Cons:

The room had bugs in it. The pictures online are super deceiving. We tried to cancel for the second night because we were so displeased and they said they could not cancel it.

It was our anniversary and we thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay, perfect place, weather perfect too!
Pros:

I liked that it was away from the more populated area down the street. The grounds and gardens are clean and well kept. Right across the street from the ocean with awesome views of the sunset. Loved the fire pits.

Cons:

Our bedspread was heavy and kept sliding off the bed! Other than that minor thing, nothing!

Brings Back Memories
Pros:

We stayed in a cabin room with a partial ocean view. Everything, from the ranch decor to the in-room fireplaces and cozy fire pits scattered around the grounds and the dog-friendly atmosphere—reminded me of the rustic ranch-type motels I stayed in with my parents as a kid, in the best possible way. The rooms were comfortable, clean, and near a path to the beach. The restaurant served good, hearty breakfast food to eat in or have delivered to the room. There is a pool and a game room. We’ve already booked our return trip. I loved the location of the cabin room but we wanted to try a room with a full kitchen so we’ve booked the Rodeo Suite, but I’m not sure if it’s located nearer to the rooms by the pool and courtyard, so I’m having second thoughts.

Pros:

We enjoyed our stay at the Oceanpoint Ranch. The Hotel is located at the end of Moonstone Beach Drive and less congested than the other hotels on the road. Beach access was a short walk and the a walk along the ocean on the boardwalk is a great plus.

Quiet, wonderful spot.
Pros:

Very comfortable rooms with fireplaces, close to all the restaurants, etc on Moonstone, but quietly tucked away from all the noise and traffic. I will definitely be back!

I love the central coast and this is a good location. However the staff and the assignment of rooms was substandard.
Pros:

The location is beautiful as is the property.

Cons:

The dog policy and the room was dirty.
