The B&B is in a historical house built in the 1800's. Our room was just beautiful - four-poster bed. Still had wifi and shower/toilet worked just fine.

The room was great, with a lot of character. Adriana and her husband Constantin were both so friendly and nice, and made great conversation. Adriana is quite the artist and has many of her own works around the house and rooms and loves to talk about art, her travels, and more if she has the time. The location of the BnB also can't be beat - just a few minutes walk to the boardwalk, arcade, restaurants, and so much more, but still maintains a quiet atmosphere.

The Cliff was perfectly located in Santa Cruz by the boardwalk and downtown - the rooms were very comfortable - one small downside was the having to use a shared bathroom on the second floor - The breakfast was incredible and exactly what I was looking for - great B&B - use it - Adriana is a Peach!

Clean, comfortable. It's an old home and has modern amenities wedged in. Hosts were VERY accommodating and warm. Good, if simple, breakfast, but they left a spread of thoughtful things for my husband's breakfast, as he was leaving at about 5 a.m. to go do a half ironman. Off street parking, warm, accommodating hosts, clean, comfortable place close to the boardwalk/beach, but far enough to keep out of the noise. I'd stay again in a heartbeat.

A relaxing weekend at Cliff Crest.

Constantin and Adriana really made our stay more memorable. They were so gracious and made sure we were comfortable. The room, the beddings and most importantly, the bathroom were all clean with clean towels and tolietries. We requested a roll away bed for my son and they provided it. She even prepared our breakfast and it was set in the parlor where you can see the garden . Definitely will come back and stay at this hotel.

Operated by a wonderful couple who have worked hard to create a nice experience. However, they have come to a place in life that another operator should take over the bnb and do some serious upgrades and a lot of freshening up. This does not mean they don’t try but it’s time to make a change.

Great service

I will start by saying we will definitely go back when in S.C. Adriana met us as soon as we arrived. She helped us with our bags and got us checked in. She showed us our room and made sure we were happy. Adriana went on to explain some of the history of the house and the area. Later we met Constantin and he gave us suggestions on where to go for food and entertainment. We returned to our room later that night. Our room had been turned down, curtains closed and prepped for us. In the morning we woke to a great home cooked breakfast with fresh fruits, eggs, french toast, coffee and orange juice. Adriana made sure we had enough food. We ate breakfast while looking out into the yard shaded by redwood trees. This is truly a unique experience. You won't find service like this even at those expensive hotels. The house is a historic landmark, so don't expect luxury. We felt welcomed and we're treated like family, not just guests. The rooms and bathrooms are clean and have tons of history in them. They are filled with antiques and Adriana's artwork. The beds were comfortable. If you are tired of being dissapointed by over priced hotels then try something different. You won't be disappointed.
