Edgewater Beach Inn & Suites - Oceanfront Santa Cruz hotel with pool, BBQ area, and full-kitchen suites

Located on Beach Hill overlooking Monterey Bay, this Santa Cruz hotel sits just 0.3 miles from Santa Cruz Wharf and 0.5 miles from the Beach Boardwalk. The 3-star Edgewater Beach Inn & Suites features rooms and suites equipped with flat-screen cable TVs, free WiFi, and private bathrooms with tubs or showers. Select accommodations include full kitchens with cookware, fireplaces, and private balconies with ocean views. The property maintains an outdoor pool, BBQ grills, and a picnic area. A 24-hour front desk offers bilingual service in English and Spanish, with express check-in/out available. The hotel provides easy access to Cowell Beach (0.3 miles), while Moore Creek Wetland Nature Preserve and Wilder Beach Nature Preserve showcase the area's natural beauty. Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport is located 28 miles away.

Pros

Several room types accommodate different group sizes, from standard rooms to family suites

Multiple units feature ocean views and private balconies

Some suites include dual bathrooms and separate living areas

Walking distance to multiple dining options, including Casablanca Bistro and Jack O'Neill Restaurant

Cons

28 miles distance from the nearest airport

Limited on-site dining options

“This inn's real strength lies in its exceptional proximity to the Santa Cruz Wharf and Boardwalk, making spontaneous visits effortless and eliminating parking hassles. While some rooms show their age, the friendly staff and the allure of the sizable pool and barbecue area compensate significantly, suggesting a return visit is worthwhile, perhaps after exploring different accommodation options. The larger suite-style rooms, complete with kitchens and decks, present an apartment-like comfort with equally impressive views.”
