Overview
The Cliff Crest Bed Breakfast is located in the Westside Santa Cruz area of Santa Cruz, CA. It is just a short walk to the city’s popular Boardwalk area, but close to many other destinations – all easily reached on foot. Guests of the classic bed and breakfast will find themselves only four minutes (on foot) from the Main Beach and less than 20 from Monterey Bay. Sites like Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Exploration Center, the Santa Cruz Wharf, and the Pacific Garden Mall are all just ten minutes’ walk from the property. The Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport is just 45 minutes from the site, and free beach shuttles are included.
Visitors to this historic property will be able to count on the traditional bed and breakfast model and enjoy a free full breakfast each morning. Options include vegan and vegetarian dishes. There are also the remarkable interiors to enjoy which include authentic Tiffany glass panels and a Victorian-era solarium. The gardens and grounds were designed by a professional horticulturist (the same who did Golden Gate Park) and feature old growth redwoods as well as bamboo and more. There is ample parking on the premises.
The six smoke-free rooms are each professionally decorated in the style of the Victorian home and range in size from king to queen beds. All will feature a work desk, free WiFi, premium bedding, daily housekeeping, and a direct dial phone. Each is named and may include antique tubs or sea views.
The Cliff Crest Bed Breakfast is a short walk to Santa Cruz’s popular attractions and is a good choice for a leisure traveler.
