I liked that the property was within 2 minutes walk to a small and beautiful beach, was 7 minutes drive from Capitola where there are great dining options, shoppings, beaches and views. I liked the friendliness of the staff, the quiet environment, the easy parking, and the option of a continental breakfast. I highly recommend the place.

It is on the beach called by the locals "The Cove". It's an older property, but very well maintained, and very clean. Each room and cottage has it's own door to the outside. The staff is great and eager to please; they immediately address any concerns or issues you have. Lots of good restaurants in Santa Cruz, and several beaches near by. It is now my Santa Cruz hotel of preference The bed was too soft for my taste.

Beachside Getaway

This place was an excellent getaway location for my husband and I for a long weekend in Santa Cruz. The staff was so welcoming and accommodating, the room was beautiful with an incredible view, and the location can't be beat. If I had to complain about anything, the soundproofing wasn't super great and we had a neighbor that took showers at weird hours that we could hear loudly from our bed, but we had a fabulous time anyway. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

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.

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.
