Top De Anza Beach Hotel Reviews

Casablanca On The Beach

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay! Everything was great, and the front desk receptionist was very friendly and accommodating. My only suggestion would be to provide regular-sized pillows instead of the small throw-style pillows. Other than that, everything was excellent."

Dream Inn Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great room to celebrate my daughter’s first trip (and as a teenager) to The Beach Boardwalk!! Beautiful views of the ocean, boardwalk at night, and easily walkable to all the things you want to do."

The BEST Location! 4 bedrooms Beach Retreat 1.5 blks to beach Hot tub, Firepit

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful house with plenty of supplies & amenities. Excellent communication with the owner and no hassles with anything. A perfect weekend, thanks so much Geoff!"

Mission Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Convinent location. Updated rooms"

Ocean Front/Family house Santa Cruz on West Cliff

8/10 Good

"Pro's: amazing view of the bay/ocean, very clean and well taken care of. Con's: nterior was smaller than portrayed in photos, but that's standard I am sure in the BnB industry. Due to busy intersection, a lot of traffic and some noise.All in all, would get this place again"

West Cliff Getaway

8/10 Good

"This was a clean and well-stocked house in a wonderful location just off West Cliff Drive. Short walk to Natural Bridges Beach."

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."

Iconic West Cliff with Views!

10/10 Excellent

"This was the perfect house to stay in for a girls' weekend! My friends stayed with me to celebrate a milestone birthday and the house provided a great setting for hanging out, eating, and playing games. I love that there was plenty of seating in the living room and dining room and plenty of dishes in the kitchen. The house was very clean and had plenty of blankets for the beds."
