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.

Was a really cool and chill and Santa Cruz experience. The room was so nice and comfortable, and the walk to the beach with a cup of coffee in hand in the morning was the best thing ever!

I like the location. Room 7 was tiny. The Queen bed was the smallest queen bed I’ve ever seen, and it was not comfy at all.

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.

10/10 Excellent

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.
Sandie, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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!
David, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

The room was disgusting. Dirty & gross.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

Ocean echo indeed

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.
Ian, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Tub was dirty old and rusty. Room smelled musty.
Rodolfo, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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
