Thanks for the great review. We think it's a great location too being on a quiet street only steps from the beach. Come back soon.

Thank you for staying at Ocean Echo Inn and Beach Cottages. We are sorry that your stay did not meet your expectations. Our location is great for anyone who wants to explore the many beaches and some of most famous surfing spots in the Santa Cruz area. We are right on popular body-boarding Sunny Cove and close to "The Hook" and Pleasure Point. There are also several good restaurants which are easily accessible by foot. We are about two miles from the Boardwalk; so, our location provides a quieter atmosphere which most of our guests prefer. Our prices are comparable to similar properties in the Santa Cruz area. Our family units actually have full kitchens which most suites do not. We are happy to address any problems while guests are on property because it is our goal for all of our guests to enjoy their stay. Smoking is only permitted in designated areas of the property; so, please let us know if someone is smoking in your space. Please ask for assistance if necessary; we would have been happy to show you how to use the blinds. It gets pretty sandy here at the beach; so, we are dusting all the time. We made sure to clean the blinds again. Thanks for letting us know. Most guests find our breakfast adequate to get the day started. It is a simple continental breakfast: bagels, cream cheese, yogurt, fresh fruit, coffee, tea, orange juice, and hot chocolate with banana bread on the weekends. Our pictures accurately depict the units very well, and we would never Photoshop a room picture to misrepresent the accommodations being provided. Perhaps you looked at pictures for one cottage and booked another by mistake. Thank you for your feedback. We are always looking for ways to improve our guests' experiences.
