This bed and breakfast was a hidden gem. The owners Constantin and Adriana deserve all the praise they have gotten for setting up such a cozy bed and breakfast (with delicious breakfast included!) in such a prime location in Santa Cruz. We were just 2 blocks from the boardwalk, a few blocks to downtown, and there was free parking! I would stay here again and again

This property is a delightful historic gem very close to the Santa Cruz boardwalk. The owners are kind and generous and the home was quiet and peaceful. Art decorates the walls, bright windows open to the beautiful green spaces outdoors. We would recommend anyone visit when they are in town.

The room was great, with a lot of character. Adriana and her husband Constantin were both so friendly and nice, and made great conversation. Adriana is quite the artist and has many of her own works around the house and rooms and loves to talk about art, her travels, and more if she has the time. The location of the BnB also can't be beat - just a few minutes walk to the boardwalk, arcade, restaurants, and so much more, but still maintains a quiet atmosphere.

It was close to the beach and within walking distance of shops and restaurants. And the innkeeper was very kind. But communication was horrible. I left several messages that were unreturned regarding late check in. There were charges that couldn't be explained. Incorrect information on their website regarding a private bathroom. Had to very awkwardly ask about breakfast because it wasn't explained. Room and bathroom were not cleaned the three days we were there. Nor were the linens and towels ever changed or replaced. Kind people but unacceptable service!

The Cliff was perfectly located in Santa Cruz by the boardwalk and downtown - the rooms were very comfortable - one small downside was the having to use a shared bathroom on the second floor - The breakfast was incredible and exactly what I was looking for - great B&B - use it - Adriana is a Peach!

Clean, comfortable. It's an old home and has modern amenities wedged in. Hosts were VERY accommodating and warm. Good, if simple, breakfast, but they left a spread of thoughtful things for my husband's breakfast, as he was leaving at about 5 a.m. to go do a half ironman. Off street parking, warm, accommodating hosts, clean, comfortable place close to the boardwalk/beach, but far enough to keep out of the noise. I'd stay again in a heartbeat.

A relaxing weekend at Cliff Crest.

Constantin and Adriana really made our stay more memorable. They were so gracious and made sure we were comfortable. The room, the beddings and most importantly, the bathroom were all clean with clean towels and tolietries. We requested a roll away bed for my son and they provided it. She even prepared our breakfast and it was set in the parlor where you can see the garden . Definitely will come back and stay at this hotel.
