Ocean Echo Inn and Beach Cottages
All-around wonderful experience! The location is great, the rooms are clean and well-designed (and quiet!) and the bed was super comfy. Be sure to go to Cole's BBQ for some ribs. I will be back!

Hitching Post Studios Inn
The room was just as expected. We chose this hotel because of location, price & the kitchen. Our son is attending UCSC, and we wanted to find a hotel that wouldn’t break the bank & allow us to not spend a fortune at restaurants. Thank you. We will be back.

Large Santa Cruz Beach House. Steps to beach. Pets welcome. Family. Reunions.
Perfect home for big families. Well stocked and clean. Beautiful location. Host was very informative on the workings of the house. The layout of the house is a bit odd, but it worked for our group of 10. Space for everyone.
