About this property
Discover a modern coastal escape at Ocean Echo Inn & Beach Cottages, located just 100 feet from Sunny Cove Beach on Monterey Bay. Often praised as a “hidden gem by the sea,†our inn sits at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac, ensuring privacy while keeping you close to local coffee shops, markets, and restaurants. Conveniently situated only 20 minutes from the Redwoods and 45 minutes from Silicon Valley and the San José Airport, Ocean Echo Inn offers the perfect blend of beachside relaxation and easy access to everything Santa Cruz has to offer.
What truly sets us apart is that most of our accommodations feature fully equipped kitchens—with gas stoves, refrigerators, and microwaves—making them perfect for entertaining, preparing family meals, or enjoying longer stays. Our cottages and rooms can host two to six guests, making them ideal for family reunions, weddings, corporate retreats, or simple getaways. If you prefer a more intimate escape, our rooms capture the serene coastal vibe, whether you’re seeking a tranquil retreat or a romantic escape. Whichever space you choose, you’ll be lulled by the gentle sound of the waves and immersed in a quintessential beachside experience.
