“The beach cottage style is a true highlight, enhanced by cultural heritage touches that create a distinctive atmosphere; many rooms feature balconies with stunning ocean views. Its beachfront location near the Santa Cruz Wharf is ideal for leisure; plus, the pet-friendly policies, including a dog run, are a considerable advantage. I think families will appreciate the flexible room options.”

I recently enjoyed my stay at Casa Blanca for our anniversary, and it was truly remarkable. The ocean view from our room was breathtaking, and the cozy ambience made it hard to leave. However, while the location and amenities were on point, I noticed some cleanliness issues during my stay that could be improved.
