Excellent service and checking process. Very clean, quiet and great ocean view from the guest patio areas. Bedding is not that comfortable though.

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.

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!

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.

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!
