The Ocean Echo is a delight in every way! The rooms are each so creatively designed with a cozy and welcoming feel. The staff is extremely helpful. I had to check in late my first night, but Gabby answered immediately when I called, providing clear directions for entry to my room.
The gardens are beautiful and the proximity to the beach is a two minute walk!. All in all, Ocean Echo is an absolutely perfect choice for a getaway to the Santa Cruz area!
Well maintained and clean cottage room. Very nice continental breakfast! Quiet guests. Walking distance to quiet beach and very close to nice tourist town and restaurants. FC
Beautiful hotel but not the best location for the money unfortunately.

The ceiling light was fading and provided no light. The toilet seat would not stay upright. The so called breakfast was a joke--------two hardboiled eggs and a few packets of oatmeal.. No place to sit. We have b een to lots of motels and this was the worse we have seen. Getting out of parking place difficult. Not in any way worth the exorbitant $500 price! Never again will be back. We have children living in Soquel
We paid for smores kits from them to use on their beach that 1) didn’t allow fires and 2) had a group of homeless folks sleeping at the entrance to the beach and 3) had sheriffs there for who knows what several times while we were there. Pillows were awful and mattresses not great. My daughter’s room was dark and basement like. Would not stay again.
There is not a convenient path to the beach and the beach was filthy and not well maintained. The room to get the complimentary breakfast was extraordinarily tiny and could fit no more than two people at a time. Our sea breeze room was also small and dingy. My wife and I came here looking for a pleasant honeymoon experience, but we can honestly say we will never come back here again!

I love the ocean view and sounds. I didn’t like that I could hear everything happening in the offices above my room. Wonderful staff🌈🤗
Always love staying at cottages with my family. Short walk to a nice beach. Love the full kitchen and BBQ. Little noisy with the neighbors this trip. Thank you for the fan in the living space because it can get just a little warm
Without it. We will be staying here again in the future.
