Top Younger Beach Hotel Reviews

Seaside Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The front desk guy Jo is very helpful and always kind .. The property is well maintained and clean .. i will keep coming back to stay here… Jush Philippines"

Ocean Pacific Lodge

8/10 Good

"Convenience to check in earlier is not really possible unless you pay $35. That is a little ridiculous. Other than that it was ok very convenient to the closeness to walk to the beach"

Casablanca On The Beach

8/10 Good

"Weds a good update of the property. Security gates on the property were all broken and taped so homeless individuals were sleeping inside the property gates at night. Great view however from the sun deck and they gave us blankets for sit with our fire pit at night."

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Santa Cruz, CA

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoy staying here. Rooms are clean and spacious, staff is very friendly especially John at the front desk!! John is very sweet and helpful 😀 hotel feels safe and there is a farmers market around the corner on Saturdays!! The farmers market is walkable and it was big with lots of food, flowers and fresh vegetables. Really enjoy this hotel !!"

Mission Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This property is beautifully landscaped with very nice, clean rooms. It offers a free breakfast with many choices. If you have mobility issues, be aware there is no elevator and the breakfast room is on the second floor. It is not extremely close to the wharf or boardwalk, so plan to drive or Uber there unless you’re an avid walker. Staff was very friendly & responsive."

Mitchell's Cove Beach House

10/10 Excellent

"Mitchells Cove Beach House was perfect in every way. I liked the large family room where we enjoyed relaxing on the sofa and two comfortable chairs. There is a sliding door with access to the backyard. Easy in and out for the dogs. The kitchen had lots of counter space and was bright and nicely laid out next to the dining area and long table. I especially liked the home's layout. One of the bedrooms has it's own bath. The second bathroom was very nice with a bathtub/shower and long counter. Quiet neighborhood, walking distance to a beach. I felt comfortable staying here and would choose this home if I were to come back."

Ocean Front/Family house Santa Cruz on West Cliff

10/10 Excellent

"The house was very clean. It was on a busy road, but the ocean was visible and overall it was a very pleasant stay! Liz was very responsive."

Sunny, Modern Cottage w/ Stunning Views, Steps from Beach & Natural Bridges

10/10 Excellent

"We had another great stay. Thanks!"

West Cliff Getaway

10/10 Excellent

"We couldn’t have been happier with our stay. The house felt like a home and we had plenty of room. The location was AMAZING! My sisters in law and I did the Santa Cruz 70.3IM and it was perfect viewing for my niece and nephew to cheer us on since we went by several times just steps from the house. It was so close to the start/finish as well. As I mentioned the house felt like a home and there were plenty of games for the littles in our family and they really enjoyed the “vintage” TV in the bedroom. It was also great being able to walk those few steps to see all the wildlife visible from the viewpoints near the house. If we do this race again or simply visit Santa Cruz we would love to stay there again. Thank you for everything."
