Hidden Gem by the Sea

Loved my stay at Ocean Echo Inn! Steps from Sunny Cove Beach, cozy and clean rooms, and super friendly staff. Perfect for a quiet, relaxing trip, yet close to Santa Cruz attractions. Breakfast is simple, but the unbeatable location and laid-back vibe make it a gem.

A Peaceful Relaxing Stay

We truly enjoyed our stay. Samantha and Deb were both super friendly and helpful. We got some good local eating recommendations from them both. It was quiet and peaceful in our room, and the cove at the end of the street was a lovely local beach that allows dogs.

Our home away from home

We love coming here year after year. Found online and by accident, but has become one of our favorite places to look forward to visiting year after year. Private Beach, perfect location close to everything, pet-friendly rooms and great friendly service, can't ask for more.

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 Exceptional

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

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.
