About the Place

Built in the early 1900s, Ocean Echo Inn & Beach Cottages is located on a quiet cul-de-sac that ends at Monterey Bay's unique Sunny Cove Beach. The inn's cul-de-sac location minimizes traffic and provides for a relaxing and safe beach stay. The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is 10 minutes’ drive away. The inn is centrally located between downtown Santa Cruz and Capitola. Roaring Camp Railroad, Henry Cowell Redwood Forest and University of California Santa Cruz are within 20 minutes' drive of Ocean Echo Inn & Beach Cottages. There are also many great wineries in nearby and Santa Cruz schedules great events throughout the year. Singer-songwriters Neil Diamond and John Denver frequented Ocean Echo Inn & Beach Cottages and wrote some of their most beloved songs here. Ocean Echo Inn offers rooms in the main house. These rooms have flat-screen TVs, refrigerators, and microwaves. Cottages surrounding the house also offer fully-equipped kitchens. Select cottages have private patios and balconies with ocean views. BBQ facilities are available for guest use. Select cottages are friendly for small dogs (an additional fee applies).

Standard Hotels offered through misterb&b

Because we foster the largest community of gay travelers, we need to ensure all are welcome anywhere they go. Of course you may search for a private room or a full apartment from our gay and gay-friendly hosts. But sometimes, you would rather search for a hotel in a particular location or with certain amenities.

To help in your search we have selected a few standard hotels that we believe are a good fit for LGBTQ+ travelers.

Why did we select these hotels?
Because of their location, services, amenities, rates, and overall good reputation, we believe these hotels can appeal to LGBTQ+ travelers. At this point though, we haven’t been able to vet their welcoming attitude and acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community.
We also help ensure hotels with a history of homophobic behavior, or whose owners are homophobic, are not listed on misterb&b.

When booking with misterb&b, you help support organizations fighting for LGBTQ+ rights around the world.
Find out about Mister for Good initiative in the footer and help start building tomorrow's world by making a donation.
Supporting the community is not just about survival, it's also about thriving, empowering and making a difference.
