We love coming here year after year. Found online and by accident, but has become one of our favorite places to look forward to visiting year after year. Private Beach, perfect location close to everything, pet-friendly rooms and great friendly service, can't ask for more.

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.

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!

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.

Tub was dirty old and rusty. Room smelled musty.

Second time staying here. I love the location and love the studio units with kitchens. We stayed in #11 this time, no kitchen (my choice). Rooms were great and comfy. Alas, though this room is above the breakfast room so it was noisy on Sunday morning. Breakfast could be so much better - better quality foods, more protein options. But I'll be back! Thx

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.
