Hyatt Place Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"Was an awesome experience. Was happy to see a small food items to order. Wish there was more kid friendly items for dinner to order. Besides that the place was fabulous"

Mission Inn

8/10 Good

"The rooms are remodeled and quite nice. Bed was comfortable and we slept well. The facilities are quite old but maintained ok. The hot tub barely worked and it was a guessing game on how to find our room. The man who checked us in was less then friendly"

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."

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

10/10 Excellent

"We had another great stay. Thanks!"

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"
