Hotel Sea & Sand Inn

The swimming pool at or near Sea & Sand Inn

Lock in a great price for Sea & Sand Inn – rated 9.4 by recent guests!

to get started.

The property is gorgeous. Very romantic place to stay. Breakfast was great. Bed is very comfortable. I didnt here my neighbor through the walls.

Such a cute place, I felt comfortable right away. The staff was friendly and welcoming. They go out of their way to make your stay memorable- fresh yummy cookies in the afternoon, famous saltwater taffy from the Boardwalk in your room, a nice variety of breakfast items to start the day and great Santa Cruz coffee. Our room was #9 on the first floor with large bathroom and king bedroom with a fireplace. We loved hearing the sounds of the crashing waves from bed. The next morning, as you open the door you are greeted with the magnificent view of the ocean and the Boardwalk. Does not get any better than this!

David

The sound of the waves crashing and the beautiful view. It was very quiet for being on a busy street. Also, as far as I could tell the place was booked solid our entire stay. It still remained peaceful. That’s the 1st time we haven’t been disturbed by other guests at a place.

Jeff

The view was spectacular and within walking distance to the beach and boardwalk. The staff was extremely friendly and offered continental breakfast, freshly baked cookies, wine and cheese throughout the day.

Kasey

What's not to like? The location is wonderful. You can see the Wharf, the Boardwalk, both are walkable. There is a continental breakfast in the morning. Cookies and lemonade in the afternoon and Wine, cheese and crackers in the evening. The staff is very helpful. The prices is great this time of year. Middle of the week is best.

I loved the fireplace in the room, but it emitted so much heat we couldn’t use it for just ambiance. That’s the only thing remotely on the negative side.
The view was spectacular and within walking distance to the beach and boardwalk. The staff was extremely friendly and offered continental breakfast, freshly baked cookies, wine and cheese throughout the day.

The fireplace in our room allowed heat to escape and it was a little warm in there the first night. The second night we opened the window and it was better. Maybe provide a bar for the windows for safety. The cheese for the wine and cheese wasn't good. It was cheap cheese. Maybe something a little nicer.
Loved the space and the view. Plenty of room to move around. Loved the patio in front of the room and the many spaces on the property to hang out. Wonderful!!

No AC in the room, just a fan you have to plug in and it’s so loud. For as much as this one night costs the room can use a complete makeover and AC should be added. Also the drapes should be thick enough to block out the sun, they are transparent and old.
