This house is amazing quaint and a total joy to stay there. Staff was friendly knowledgeable and ready to assist. I will always stay here when I come to Santa Cruz.
We had a wonderful stay in one of the queen attic rooms. It was cozy and romantic and looks just like the pictures. They had complentary cans of soda, water, and coffee. The parking lot is pretty small, and the parking spots even smaller. There also is no elevator. So if stairs are a problem I would recommend getting a suite on the ground level.
Beautiful home and beautiful room (5)! I was really really really happy to have found a room with a lovely jacuzzi tub! It feels like bathtubs are becoming a luxury of the past since most places are renovating for showers only. That tub was my ocean away from the ocean when the temperature dropped! It made my birthday trip even more special :) thank you!
Lovely, clean and well maintained.
However, struggled with check in. Unable to contact reception despite contact details left on desk. Did nit feel r welcome throughout stay. Rooms noisy, coujd gand never saw any staff were
This was a very Cute old house. It was very clean and comfortable and had lots of really nice architecture. It was very convenient to walk to the boardwalk nearby.

I’ve stayed here many times over past 5yrs, it’s now my favorite place to stay in Santa Cruz — Victorian home converted into hotel with modern clean suites at reasonable price with views of river, friendly staff, all in all a very enjoyable stay every time. Thank you!
Last minute trip to Santa Cruz landed us in this incredible little Gem. Everything was updated, clean, and very practical.
We look forward to returning soon 😊
