Beautiful !
We truly enjoyed our stay at the Dream Inn. Kind of Retro, but also stylishly modern with everything we needed right there. Great little beach below, wonderful restaurant, the perfect location to stay at the beach and relax.

Delightful California Modern Hotel
Recent renovations make this 60’s vintage hotel a thoroughly modern, inviting, comfortable place to stay. I loved the view of the Santa Cruz beach and wharf area from the windows of my room.
Traveler's tip on getting the most out of your stay
The Stagnaro’s whale watching excursion is at the top of my list of things to do in Santa Cruz. I would also recommend walking along West Cliff Drive. It doesn’t cost a thing, the Surfer’s Museum is along the way, and the are many photo ops of the beach view.
