Casablanca On The Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay!!!"

Seaside Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly staff and quick service"

Ocean Front/Family house Santa Cruz on West Cliff

10/10 Excellent

"The house was very clean. It was on a busy road, but the ocean was visible and overall it was a very pleasant stay! Liz was very responsive."

Hyatt Place Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay here. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Overall, everything was great and we really enjoyed our stay. We would definitely stay here again!"

Mitchell's Cove Beach House

10/10 Excellent

"The Mitchell’s Cove beach house is fabulous.A simply beautiful home.Each bedroom is tastefully decorated, the beds are comfortable and the towels are plush.Spectacular gardens and outdoor spaces to gather together or find a place to be alone. The hammock was a big hit, and the outdoor grill was a great way to cook some fresh fish and hamburgers. The house is a block from the ocean and West Cliff Drive, which has a delightful walking / bike path which leads to the lighthouse, beaches and surfing spots, and benches facing west to wait for the absolutely unbeatable sunsets. The house was a hit with three generations of our family and one Golden Retriever! We give the Mitchell’s Cove house, its owners and Beachnest, the property managers, our highest, unequivocal recommendations!"

Hampton Inn Santa Cruz West, CA

"Breakfast"

West Cliff Getaway

10/10 Excellent

"We couldn’t have been happier with our stay. The house felt like a home and we had plenty of room. The location was AMAZING! My sisters in law and I did the Santa Cruz 70.3IM and it was perfect viewing for my niece and nephew to cheer us on since we went by several times just steps from the house. It was so close to the start/finish as well. As I mentioned the house felt like a home and there were plenty of games for the littles in our family and they really enjoyed the “vintage” TV in the bedroom. It was also great being able to walk those few steps to see all the wildlife visible from the viewpoints near the house. If we do this race again or simply visit Santa Cruz we would love to stay there again. Thank you for everything."
