Historic beachfront cottages 100 feet from Sunny Cove Beach
Accommodations & Rooms
Ocean Echo Inn & Beach Cottages offers 13 individually designed cottages and rooms, each with historic charm and distinct decor. Many accommodations include fully equipped kitchens with gas stoves, refrigerators, and microwaves, allowing guests to prepare meals in-room. Select rooms provide ocean views and private decks, while cottages like the Pelican Cottage and Gull Cottage feature private patios with BBQ grills.
Dining & Breakfast
A complimentary continental breakfast is served each morning, offering bagels, pastries, fresh fruit, yogurt, hard-boiled eggs, coffee, and tea. No on-site restaurant exists, but the inn provides a vending machine and guests can purchase wine or champagne at the property. Nearby dining includes Lago Di Como (authentic Italian, 5-minute walk) and Coffeetopia (breakfast bagels and burritos, open from 6 am).
Location & Nearby Attractions
The inn sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Capitola, 100 feet from Sunny Cove Beach, a quieter and less crowded stretch of sand. Guests are within a 20-minute drive of Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park and a 10-minute drive to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. Capitola Wharf is also close by, and the property offers free parking for all guests.
Pet-Friendly Features
The hotel welcomes well-behaved dogs in designated pet-friendly rooms and cottages, with pet bowls provided and a $50 per pet per night fee. No designated pet relief area exists on-site, so guests walk to the beach access road for dog walks. The property also supplies pet-friendly rooms with hard floors rather than carpet, and guests must keep dogs off furniture.
Amenities & Activities
Guests have access to a communal deck with ocean views, outdoor furniture, a picnic area, and BBQ facilities for alfresco cooking. On-site entertainment includes board games and puzzles, a table tennis table, and kids' outdoor play equipment. Business travelers can use the meeting and banquet facilities, and the inn provides luggage storage, concierge service, and CCTV security throughout.
