I stayed for 3 nights at the charming Pelican Point Inn. The room was especially nice due to the hard wood floors (for anyone with allergies, this is a delight). Ann, the owner is just wonderful, very accommodating and generous. I think she would do just about anything for anyone. The beach, while not visible from the Inn, is really... More

Pelican Point was a comfortable and convenient place to stay for a night as we travelled down the California coast. The location was far enough from the boardwalk area so that it was quiet and less crowded, but still only a short drive to the beach and boardwalk. The owner was very accommodating and runs a very clean motel. We... More

Very Bright in the room in the morning. No room-darkening curtains. We had to wait 15 min. when we arrived to check in, for the only person there? to come back from the post office! You can't open the windows when it gets warm in the room because everyone can see right in(only one floor), and it was warm even... More

This inn has very friendly staff. The room we were assigned was a two bedroom suite for 99 pet night. Wow! It had a kitchen with a fridge/freezer and dishes etc. Pretty great. Very good location a block or two from the beachand central between capitola and Santa Cruz. Biking distance to either. Only con was lack of natural lighting... More

Ann (the owner?) and staff are super nice. The Pelican is a small, clean inn located near Pleasure Point. Everything in Santa Cruz is accessible by car regardless of where you are. There are a couple of nice places to dine at, nothing fancy and neither is the Pelican. The rooms are clean, mine had a kitchenette with fridge. For... More

We were able to get a room for one night on short notice by emailing the inn a few days before. Check-in was supposed to be at 3 pm, but we arrived at 8:30 am, exhausted after driving up from Santa Barbara. I called the number on the office, and the owner drove up and let us check in early!...

We almost stayed at one of the namebrand hotels in Santa Cruz, but I'm glad we found this place instead. It was basically the same price, but we gained a kitchenette and living room. Very useable kitchen, but on a studio apartment scale (if you expect a full-size kitchen then rent a house). Perfect if you're splitting the place among... More

We arrived at the Pelican Point Inn not sure what to expect, but we were very pleased. Although our original room was doublebooked, Ann gave us two beautiful rooms for the same price. Both rooms were very well equiped and maintained and well appointed. She obviously cares very much about her place and take great pride in caring for it... More
