Reviews

Fodors Traveler's Review: A reviewer wrote: "... Only got to spend one night here, unfortunately. Beautiful setting, and our two-bedroom suite was actually an apartment with two full baths, full kitchen, washer and dryer, fireplace, patio with barbecue... do they do time shares here? Anyway, our suite was spotless and very comfortable. I could have spent an entire week!"

Rated #1 of 4 B&B's in Aptos with 4.5 stars by Trip Advisor

“I had the most lovely weekend at Sand Rock Farm B&B!”

"My husband recently brought me to Sand Rock Farm for a quiet, relaxing weekend away from the City and it was absolutely perfect! The historic home is cozy and beautiful, the grounds are gorgeous, and the proprieter, Kris, was so welcoming and helpful -- she made amazing breakfasts and provided us with great recommendations to fill our weekend, including restaurants, wine tasting, antiquing and local sites. The rooms were the perfect combination of quaint and comfortable, but with all the amenities (including in-room jacuzzis!).

We spent Sunday morning walking around the property and if I hadn't already had my wedding, I would look into having it here. The property is beautiful -- gardens and trees galore, with lighting and open areas for ceremony, dinner and dancing.

We had the most lovely weekend at Sand Rock Farm and I can't wait to go back!!

THE DARLING HOUSE
The Darling House

We overlook the Pacific Ocean ... nothing less.

A Bed & Breakfast Inn By The Sea In Beautiful Santa Cruz, California

The Darling House is a 1910 oceanside architectural masterpiece designed by William Weeks. Lighted by the rising sun through beveled glass, Tiffany lamps and open hearths, and the grace of genuinely open hearts, the Darling House welcomes you into an experience of peaceful elegance.

"Circa 1910. It's difficult to pick a room at this oceanside mansion. The Pacific Ocean Room features a fireplace and a wonderful ocean view. The Chinese Room might suit you with its silk-draped, hand-carved rosewood canopy wedding bed. Elegant oak, ebony, and walnut woodwork is enhanced by the antique decor of Tiffany's and Chippendales. Roses, beveled glass and libraries add to the atmosphere. Beyond the ocean-view veranda are landscaped gardens. Guests often walk to the wharf for dinner. This property is featured in Bed & Breakfasts and Country Inns published by American Historic Inns " I Love Inns.com

TripAdvisor “Friendly and reasonable”

"On our first few visits to Santa Cruz, we stayed in motels, until we discovered the Darling House. The house is "darling," and the hosts made us feel completely at home. On a recent August weekend, we stayed two nights for $88 less than the cheapest motel we could find, and that included home-made breakfasts and fresh flowers in our room. We have recommended it to other family members"

TripAdvisor “Antique Elegance”

"We have stayed twice at the Darling House, and will go there again when we return to Santa Cruz. The 1910 house is charming with beveled glass windows, inlaid hardwood, antique furniture and most of the original plumbing and electrical fixtures. (Some guests may prefer shiny new stuff, but we loved the older atmosphere.) Our most recent room even had a chamber pot -- along with a computer hook-up. The dining room and living room have an ocean view, and the Board Walk is within easy walking distance."

Yelp 5 star review 11/18/2009

"WOW, do I love this place.
I practically lived here this summer, I was working here almost every weekend for so many weddings. Got to know almost all the valets by first name, tons of the servers and most of the managers.
Staying here is awesome already, imagine your wedding!
There are two major sites for a wedding ceremony with both being able to see out to sea on a clear bright day. The ballrooms can come alive for a super party and the food? THE FOOD IS INCREDIBLE!
I hope you do buffet! =D You'll want tons and tons more. =)
The staff could not be any more helpful everywhere from the valets to the serving staff to all of the managers.
It is beautiful, smooth, and a memory."

"Rustic Charm"‎Rated 5.0   out of 5.0 By A TripAdvisor Member - Nov 10, 2009

This is an enchanting place to stay in the small town of Ben Lomond, Ca. We thoroughly loved our time here with Jack and Gael. They are very friendly, helpful and kind. We felt very at home. The breakfasts were filling and delicious. It is close to a great Tyrolean restaurant( we walked ) and just a great place to stay.

#1 Hotel in Capitola by TripAdvisor

Quiet, clean and great breakfast! We did a quick trip to Santa Cruz so stayed here one night. If you like quiet locations, this is it. The room was clean and spacious. We had the Business Mini Suite which included a queen and sofa pull out bed. It was nice to have a 1/2 wall between the two for a bit of privacy...."

Can't say enough good things about this very nice little hotel. My wife, two year old son, and I spent two nights at this great hotel. The exterior and interior of this beach themed hotel are shiny and new. The service was excellent and the price was great. Conveniently located next to a medium sized shopping center for quick snacks and amenities.”

" They have a hot tub here to beat all hot tubs.  For one thing it's huge, secondly it has the most powerful jets I've ever seen in any hot tub..."  

" ..It was well worth the price as we had a really nice stay.  The rooms were updated and really clean.  Free internet connections in the room and free breakfast buffet which was so-so.  We didn't eat there but checked it out for this review.  We ate breakfast at my favorite breakfast place in Santa Cruz which is the Walnut Avenue Cafe just a few blocks from the hotel...

“Have stayed in other places in SC paying a lot more for a lot less”

Wow! I'm impressed with this place.
My sister lives in Santa Cruz and my family used to vacation here when I was a kid. I have stayed in many places around this area and have found this place to be the best value HANDS DOWN! And I've stayed in nice places like the Hilton Scotts Valley and the Casablanca.
This HIE has been open for 7 months, and thus is quite new and up to date. It offers amenities such as free wi-fi, breakfast, and a small business center where you can log in and print documents, sauna, exercise center and pool. There is plentiful parking, and it is located close to HWY 17... We were blown away with the breakfast--there are bagels, toast, eggs, breakfast meat, cereal, coffee and juice. Nice breakfast, much better than standard continental. And it was included in the price.

“Beautiful new hotel in Santa Cruz.”

I stayed at the new Holiday Inn Express in Santa Cruz in December 2009 while visiting family in the area. It's a beautiful hotel. Very nicely furnished in the lobby, hallways, and guest rooms. Spotlessly clean. It's located right at the base of Highway 17 where it arrives in Santa Cruz.

We visited Santa cruz in our drive down the pacific highway. The hotel was OK, and the staff was particularly nice. We enjoyed the walk to the Pier and the sunset, The room was clean and comfy and the only problem we found was that there was not a designed space for breakfast, so we had to grab t and get back to the room.

Good Value, Convenient

We stayed here for three nights, Sunday-Tuesday - the price goes WAY down during the week!
The motel is a little old, but was clean and well-kept. It was one of the quietest places I've ever stayed - surprising considering Santa Cruz has a party reputation.
The Jacuzzi was very close to our room and we used it frequently .
Breakfast was nothing special - corn flakes, apples, juice, packaged pastries.
Management was helpful when we asked for extra towels, and about places to eat.
We would definitely stay here again.

“Very Nice ”

It's a bit pricey during the summer months and on weekends but I stopped a gas station and picked up a Travel Coupon Guide book and got the room for only $59. Of course, my stay was Sunday night thru Tuesday, which are typically the cheapest nights in any hotel. Plus, I was there in late September and the rates had dropped a bit anyway. It's a GREAT motel, just a walk from the beach and a very nice room, almost perfect. The room was clean, it had a microwave and refrigerator and a nice size room for the money. Can't beat the location!!!!!!!
