Circa 1899. This turn-of-the-century oceanfront manor sits atop a jagged cliff overlooking the coastline of Monterey Bay, just steps away from the water's edge. Bedrooms are furnished with antiques, and each room contains a fresh rose. Thirteen rooms also boast fireplaces. Some of the museum-quality antiques were exhibited in the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. Other bedroom sets include furniture that belonged to Edith Head, and there is an 1860 Chippendale Revival four-poster bed with a canopy and side curtains. Innkeeper Don Martine has a collection of vintage MGs, six on display for guests. Twilight wine and hors d'oeuvres are served, and chocolates accompany evening turndown service. The inn is a beautiful spot for romantic getaways and weddings.

Gorgeous rooms, some with fireplaces, some canopy beds, ocean views; within a stroll to Lover's Point Park. Walking path follows the ocean directly in front of Inn.

Innkeeper Note

The Martine Inn is an attempt by me, Don Martine, and my staff to create a uniquely refreshing stay, so you can return to your daily life feeling rejuvenated and energized. We feature museum quality antiques. So what, you say. They each tell a story. Each one had to be cherished by prior owners for them to continue to exist. Think about the time and effort it has taken to maintain 100- to 200-year-old antiques. We try to keep modern conveniences to a minimum. They produce noise that we have to shut out, thereby not leaving us open to the true beauty around us. We have researched behaviors of the past, when things were less hectic, and try to put them into practice daily. We hope these efforts of our staff enable you to have special moments and unique pleasant surprises during your stay. We take pride in making your stay with us memorable and having you feel we are a place you want to return to. Let us treat you to an amazing time at the Martine Inn.

The MARTINE INN in Pacific Grove should be included in your "10 top Romantic Inns"! An excellent H de O/Social hour with homemade goodies, not just cheesea nd crackers! Breakfast is an amazing sit-down affair, and just as scrumptious! Both take place in a large room with wall to wall glass looking out over the Pacific Ocean!! The rooms are both comfortable and beautiful with many looking out to the ocean. The service is fantastic!

Everything about the Martine Inn lends itself to a romantic getaway, from the ambiance of the inn, the care of the staff, the spectacular view, the delicious breakfast and evening repast to the charming room decor. You will love it and want to return again and again.
