Top De Anza Beach Hotel Reviews

Ocean Pacific Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Easy, central, clean, quiet, and pool was nice touch. Sweet people at the front managing it."

Mission Inn

8/10 Good

"Best of the cheap motels in SC. It's further away from Ocean street and way less homeless people around. Clean."

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Santa Cruz, CA

8/10 Good

"Breakfast is excellent. Beds are bit firm for my task. Didn't try pool or hot tub. Staff very friendly and professional. Parking is easy."

Sunny, Modern Cottage w/ Stunning Views, Steps from Beach & Natural Bridges

10/10 Excellent

"It was very clean and comfortable. Walking distance to Natural Bridges, great for sunsets. Better than we had expected. Wonderful hosts."

Mitchell's Cove Beach House

10/10 Excellent

"Mitchells Cove Beach House was perfect in every way. I liked the large family room where we enjoyed relaxing on the sofa and two comfortable chairs. There is a sliding door with access to the backyard. Easy in and out for the dogs. The kitchen had lots of counter space and was bright and nicely laid out next to the dining area and long table. I especially liked the home's layout. One of the bedrooms has it's own bath. The second bathroom was very nice with a bathtub/shower and long counter. Quiet neighborhood, walking distance to a beach. I felt comfortable staying here and would choose this home if I were to come back."

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."

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."

Iconic West Cliff with Views!

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location, especially if you’re in town for the half Ironman"

Spacious Open Floor Plan

10/10 Excellent
