Not sure where to begin. First we were pleasantly surprised at how close we were to the beach. You walk less than 100 yards to a beautiful private like beach that is cove. You can swim, relax, and skim board. Jane was a very gracious host. She worked very hard for us when our car ended up in the shop... More

The Sunny Cove is a no-frills type of place, and that starts with booking your room. Everything is done over the phone, there is no way to book anything on-line. Jane is in charge of mostly everything at Sunny Cove and she was very friendly and helpful. The rate during the week is $100 a night and it was $120... More

As described by others, this is definitely a funky, family and pet friendly alternative to a chain motel. We wanted a room as a base camp, and that's what we got. Good-sized room with a semi-functional kitchenette (bring your own cooking utensils if you really want to do serious cooking). Unfortunately the refrigerator didn't work very well, but did keep...

The Fun, Funky, Friendly, Fabulous Sunny Cove Motel. I've stayed at the Sunny Cove more times then I can count now. I've stayed in probably every room they have, Gone alone, with my mate, with my kids, with my mate & my kids, with my kids & their friends. No matter what the occasion or company with me, Sunny Cove... More

I found Sunny Cove through the lonely planet guide, it sort of got an average rating there. I rang and booked my room there and got a very helpful and friendly lady who offered me a room at $120 or $90, as we were on a bit of a budget I went for the $90 room. We got there and... More

Located in a primarily residential neighborhood a couple miles south of the Boardwalk, the Sunny Cove's neighborhood is great. About 2 blocks from the beach, it has a relaxed surfer feel. The Sunny Cove is a motel, tightly squeezed in a small footprint. There's just enough parking for the units. (not a complaint!) My family and I stayed in room... More

We've been going to the Sunny Cove for more than eight years and we love it. It is an old Beach Motel, which is slowly but surely upgrading all their room/apartments with very tasty, distinctive, beach decor. If you want a Hotel go to the Hilton, but if you want a place to live in locally for a week, This... More

My boyfriend shared this special gem! My kids live it, too! Right next to the beach. Beach all day. Come back to swim in pool. BBQ poolside, Kitchenettes! Some of the best times ever at Sunny Cove! We'll be there all summer long!

I stayed here in '07 with some friends and my boyfriend. I remembered it being a great price. After 3 years they have remodeled (I think the double beds are the same) and the price was the same! The lady running the place is a true Santa Cruz native with an excellent attitude and sense of humor. The rooms are... More
