As advertisede, super cute location. It's been around for a while - so do expect "new and modern" ;)

Loved the location to the beach. If you are sensitive to smells, the cleaning solution they use in the rooms is really bad and likely toxic. Front desk Service by text is great and response time very quick. Watch out for hidden charges—I requested an early check in and was not told there would be a charge for that yet the $39 charge appeared on my card. Still waiting on a response from management. Despite this, I would return. It’s a sweet location.

Last minute booking on our 10 day trip. Such a cute place! Staff was very friendly, loved that wye had a kitchen since we had food because we were supposed to camp for 2 nights. Would definitely book again if in the area.

I wanted a room away from the hussle and bussle of most other Santa Cruz hotels and found Ocean Echo. What a find. Situated in a lovely, quiet neighborhood next to the beach. We stayed in the Captain's Quarters, which was more pricey than I'm usually willing to spend but it was worth it for the occasion and amenities. Spacious, clean, and very comfortable. We loved having our own private deck with great view of Sunny Cove Beach and sleeping peacefully with the sliding door open. Staff were friendly and helpful. Nice breakfast as well, which we enjoyed on our deck. Will be my go-to spot for future Santa Cruz stays.

Wonderful stay! Beach access was almost like a private access point. So beautiful and easy. The foot washing station was thoughtful and perfect too! Love this hidden gem 💕
