Captain's Inn is deeply connected to the maritime heritage of Moss Landing.
The Historic House, built in the early 1900s, originally served as a private residence for a local sea captain's family who lived steps away from the tidal channels of the Old Salinas River. The home provided warmth, safety, and gathering space for sailors and families during the early harbor years.

When the property was later restored and transformed into an inn, the original architectural details — handcrafted woodwork, period decor, and the home's nautical soul — were carefully preserved.
Today, the Historic Building reflects the spirit of "old Moss Landing," offering guests a unique glimpse into the region's coastal past while enjoying modern amenities and comfort.

Each room in the Historic Building features its own unique character, blending vintage charm with nautical touches. These rooms do not include in-room wetland views, but guests staying here can enjoy the beautiful scenery from:

• The shared upper balcony furnished with tall Adirondack chairs
• The common viewing deck beside the Boathouse Suites

Select rooms include fireplaces or full kitchens, making them ideal for longer stays or added comfort. All rooms accommodate two adults.

Our Boathouse Suites sit beside protected coastal wetlands — one of the most wildlife-rich habitats in California.
Each suite includes:

• Elevated beds designed so guests can enjoy wetland viewing right from the comfort of bed (step stools provided)
• Private outdoor seating
• Romantic bathrooms:
• Upstairs Suite → two-person soaking tub with handheld shower
• Downstairs Suite → two-person walk-in shower with a nature-facing window
• Cozy nautical decor and intimate ambiance
  

Accommodations for two adults only. 
These are the only rooms with direct wetland views.
