"Our home away from home"

10.0

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.

Was a really cool and chill and Santa Cruz experience. The room was so nice and comfortable, and the walk to the beach with a cup of coffee in hand in the morning was the best thing ever!

"Mushrooms growing in the bathroom!"

4.0

We stayed at Ocean Echo Inn, in unit 10 Water tower on Wed. June 18th to Fri. June 20th 2025 While the staff was nice and the location very near the beach was great; We found a dirty butter knife behind the sofa but more alarming was the mushrooms growing in the bathroom. This could be a real concern for someone with respiratory issues, small children or pets wanting to investigate the growing mushrooms. As we checked out on Friday [6/20] we informed the staff and brought them in the room to see the situation. We e mailed Ocean Echo the next day [6/21/2025] to inform them but have had absolutely no response to date.

I like the location. Room 7 was tiny. The Queen bed was the smallest queen bed I’ve ever seen, and it was not comfy at all.
