4/10 Fair

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

6/10 Good

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.

4/10 Fair

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🌈🤗

Cottage family love
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.

6/10 Good

The only reason I gave this property a 3/5 stars overall, is for their per fee on their property. Charging $50 Per per per day is a bit much, especially since you do not know that charge until after booking the room. Even 5 star hotels like the Four Seasons only charge $50 per stay. Other than that the hotel staff was helpful the rooms good, but the location was excellent for getting to the beach quickly and easily. Dog are also allowed on the leash. So a win, win. Only the extra per charges seem out of place for an awesome hotel.
