The Midtown Cottage- w/ Private Entrance and Views, hotel in Santa Cruz

The Midtown Cottage- w/ Private Entrance and Views is located in Santa Cruz, just 1.7 miles from Seabright State Beach and 1.7 miles from Santa Cruz Beach.

Getting in was easy but unfortunately it was not cleaned between guests and we had to find another place at the last minute. Booking.com canceled the reservation and claimed they would give 25€ towards another place but that is pretty puny in light of the inconvenience and they have not answered any messages about actually providing that credit or addressing my concern that it’s not adequate after 5 days thought they claim 24hour turnaround on messages.

Beach Haven, hotel in Santa Cruz

Beach Haven is located in Santa Cruz, just a 13-minute walk from Moran Lake Park Beach and 1.3 miles from Hooper's Beach. Guests staying at this vacation home have access to a patio.

This bungalow was so comfortable, just perfect for a mother-daughter trip. The kitchen was roomy, the beds were comfy, the skylight added light and ambience, and the location could not have been better! We walked the Pleasure Point cliff walk every day, walked to the Cat and the Cloud coffee shop, grabbed Pizza from Pleasure Point pizza, and enjoyed taking in the vibes of the waves and surfers and pelicans. A bonus was washer and dryer out back , and room to park an extended cab pick up truck out front.

Tree Top View Cabin, hotel in Santa Cruz

Tree Top View Cabin offers accommodations in Felton, 13 miles from Mark Abbott Memorial Lighthouse and 13 miles from Santa Cruz Surfing Museum.

We loved the setting and the quiet relaxing atmosphere. The drive up to the property is challenging for those of us unaccustomed to narrow, winding, mountain roads. Fortunately traffic is relatively light and you can drive up slowly.

Excellent place, clean and new. We had all needed. A pleasant surprise was to discover beach chairs, a sand wagon, and a tent. You need to bring nothing for your vacation at the beach.

    The hotel was beautiful and felt like we were staying in a mansion. Their breakfast was fantastic since I booked it at the same time as the room and could get anything on the menu. It was very delicious!

    The room in this nicely decorated victorian house was very comfortable. Very comfy bed, luxurious bathroom and a great view of the sea. The good breakfast will have something for everyone and is a good start of the day. The hotel is very conveniently located to close to the pier and restaurants in walking distance. The complimentary Wine & Cheese as well as the home made cookies are not to be missed.

    I was in Santa Cruz for the Ironman 70. 3 race. I couldn't be happier with the location. It is right across the street from Athlete Village and the transition area. The hotel itself is nice with renovated bathroom, free parking, daily housekeeping, and good beds. It's a short stroll to the beach and Boardwalk. Would stay again at this property.

    I really liked how they turned a villa in to very good quality cozy accomodation. It was a 10 minute walk partly along the river to town for restaurants and shopping.
