This place is really cute and it’s very close to a little beach. We stayed in room 10, which is a lil cottage with a yard. Very cool. The only thing I would say is a negative is that our coffee maker didn’t work-well, it worked if u plug it in on top of the fridge and hold the carafe up so coffee can drip out lol. Pretty minor inconvenience since starbucks is across the street.

Cute, Unique, small inn, steps from the beach. Older property but very well maintained. Staff were friendly and helpful. We stayed in the water tower cottage. Loved the fenced yard and patio. Great for my dog to have a safe place to hang out. Would definitely stay there again.

Inn nicely located within a stone's throw of the beach, and within walking distance of a few restaurants and shops. Its name reflects that one can hear the waves coming onto the shore.

Lovely cottage style hotel right next to a beautiful beach. Can't go wrong! Walls are a little thin but adds to the character. Would stay again!

This was a great spot for us as we brought our dogs. However the pet fee of $50 per dog per night seemed high. The property is old but nicely maintained. Clean. Staff was hard to find at times but always very nice.

This is a hidden gem in Santa Cruz. Our family of four and dog recently stayed here. It’s a two minute walk to a beautiful cove. The room we stayed in was very spacious. It’s family friendly even for your fur babies. There is a $50 dog fee that is not very transparent on Expedia’s website. Do yourself and favor and dine at Lago Di Como. It’s a five minute walk with incredible authentic Italian food. We cannot wait to come back!
