Located in Santa Cruz, within 100 metres of Sunny Cove Beach and 4.3 km of Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, Sunny Cove Motel provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool and free WiFi as well as free private parking for guests who drive. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. University Of California Santa Cruz is 7.7 km away and Pasatiempo Golf Club is 9.1 km from the motel. Sunny Cove is my favorite hotel in S.C. Its location and beach access 😎 are perfect. Across the street, you can find the best tamales, and Starbucks is just around the corner. It feels safe, and Jane is available to help at any moment.

Sarah at Reception was exceptional. She welcomed us warmly, and I called her before we arrived to confirm the location. She gave us a tour of the beautiful property and made popcorn for us. I wish we could have stayed longer. Sarah also checked in on us twice to be sure we had everything we needed.

This Half Moon Bay hotel is less than 5 minutes walk to Half Moon Bay Brewing Company and a variety of restaurants and 10 minutes’ drive to Half Moon Bay State Beach.

Overlooking the bay, Oceano Bar & Grill at the Oceano Hotel offers coastal fare for dinner nightly. The bar area onsite features a variety of cocktails, beer and wine. The design is really cool. Spacious rooms. Incredible staff. We went there for my birthday and my daughter had decided to send a bottle of champagne to the room. She said that the staff were super friendly and indeed when we arrived, there were two champagne glasses and a bottle in the fridge. It’s just a beautiful place with an absolutely amazing spa.
