Top Lincoln Beach Hotel Reviews

Marea Sol Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had amazing family time! Short walk to the beach and many restaurants. Highly recommend!"

Large Home on Quiet Street Steps from Sunny Cove Beach, Private Pickleball Court

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely perfect house near the beach on a quiet charming street! We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate my daughter’s birthday with her friends. The house was incredible especially for a group of teenagers, with so many fun activities—pickleball, basketball, billiards, and plenty of wonderful spaces to hang out, play board games, or watch a movie together. There was truly something for everyone! Amber was so helpful, responsive, and easy to work with. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay and will definitely come back!"

Luxury Ocean View w/ Hot Tub - Walk to Yacht Harbor, Beach & Dining

10/10 Excellent

"The home was exactly as described. Absolutely a beautiful very spacious clean home. Renee made our transition easy, accommodating and we felt welcomed. The communication was outstanding and responsive with any questions we had. All of the codes were hassle free and entry was easy with our given access. There is plenty of space for our group in the home and had everything that we needed provided. The ocean views from the home are stunning and we were able to walk to the beach. The living room and dining room glass walls with spectacular beach views are just amazing and perfect for our family dinners. I will definitely return with my family for another getaway in the future!"

Hyatt Place Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"10 min walk to the boardwalk or to the downtown area. Clean rooms friendly staff"

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is highly recommended."

Seaside Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Me and my family decided to have a last minute beach visit we had no idea we were going to want to stay the night and once we figured we would I called everywhere (it was 7pm) and only this hotel answered there was always someone to help at the desk and it was fast and easy to book and it was a great price and me and my family would definitely recommend my only complaint would be you can hear the trash people early in the morning but everything else was just what we wanted"

Beachfront at Twin Lakes Beach

10/10 Excellent

"This is a small cabin, ideal for a couple, with its own path down to the beach and really pretty views from the eating nook. Lovely to hear the waves at night."

Blacks Beach Retreat,Wi-Fi, near Harbor & Steps to Twin Lakes Beach!

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful house. 100 yards from beach. Close to everything. Very clean"

Twin Lakes Surf House

10/10 Excellent

"The beachnest was wonderful for my girls weekend. The multiple decks and rooftop area were fabulous. The location was great. Easy walk to the beach where we enjoyed a spectacular sunset. Because the harbor bridge was out, driving around took a little more time than expected. Of course, no fault of the rental property. The carpets could use a good steam, but overall the property was very clean. Comfortable beds in all three rooms. Large, easily shareable bathrooms. The kitchen was well stocked with anything you could need for cooking. The house is located in a walkable, quiet, residential neighborhood with plenty of parking. I would definitely recommend this property for a group gathering."
