Hello and thank you for the high marks. We're pleased you enjoyed our location. We're only 1 mile to Capitola and a little over 2 to the famous Santa Cruz Boardwalk. We are just steps from the cove and walking distance to larger beaches. And after a day of exploring you can come back and enjoy our ocean view terrace and get a good nights sleep because we ask for 'Quiet Time' from all guests on the property after 10 pm. This ensures you sleep well and you're ready for your exploring the next day. We look forward to your next visit.

Best rooms in town with your own Private Beach!

This is not for the average tourist but instead is suited for the discriminating guest. Imagine the Santa Cruz experience within walking distance of Pleasure Point sitting RIGHT ON SUNNY COVE BEACH! I have forgotten the lady's name that runs the office but I certainly remember…

WOW! This review is so good, people are going to think we paid for it. But, thank you so much for the kind and amazing thoughts. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and would love for you join us again very soon. Until then, take care.

We were traveling to Santa Cruz for a retreat at our local church and found the perfect accomodations at Ocean Echo Inn. We loved the water tower room with a kitchenette and small fenced area for my senior fur baby.

Couple from Menlo Park

We had a great stay at the Echo Inn. It was our first visit there and we would not hesitate to go again. The area was quiet and close to beaches and scenic overlooks. We brought along our dog and the receptionist had a towel, bowl and a biscuit ready which was a big hit. The…

Are there any cottages with 2 beds? If so, what are the prices for those ones and cottage numbers?

Cottage 6 actually has three beds: one king and two queens. Cottage 11 has two queen beds. Cottage 5 has a queen bed and two twin beds. Several of our cottages will have a bed in the bedroom and a sofa sleeper in the living room. The best thing would probably be to look at our website. The rates vary depending on the time of year, weekends vs midweek, holidays, etc. Thanks for asking!

"Room 12 in the main house was wonderful and has a deck that looks out on the ocean. "
