Great spot for our overnight for a fun night in Santa Cruz, super convenient to boardwalk and dining - all walkable. Lovely Victorian building with modern interiors and amenities. Clean, safe and excellent customer service.

We had a wonderful stay in one of the queen attic rooms. It was cozy and romantic and looks just like the pictures. They had complentary cans of soda, water, and coffee. The parking lot is pretty small, and the parking spots even smaller. There also is no elevator. So if stairs are a problem I would recommend getting a suite on the ground level.

This house is amazing quaint and a total joy to stay there. Staff was friendly knowledgeable and ready to assist. I will always stay here when I come to Santa Cruz.

Unfortunately no hot water! Very disappointing that it was not fixed my the next morning so we could not shower. Otherwise a very nice clean property.

Beautiful home and beautiful room (5)! I was really really really happy to have found a room with a lovely jacuzzi tub! It feels like bathtubs are becoming a luxury of the past since most places are renovating for showers only. That tub was my ocean away from the ocean when the temperature dropped! It made my birthday trip even more special :) thank you!

This was a very quaint place that i really enjoyed. It would be hard for some since the stairs are really steep.

This was a very Cute old house. It was very clean and comfortable and had lots of really nice architecture. It was very convenient to walk to the boardwalk nearby.

Last minute trip to Santa Cruz landed us in this incredible little Gem. Everything was updated, clean, and very practical. We look forward to returning soon 😊

Nice place, close to activities.

Amazing boutique style hotel. Historic house beautifully updated. Room was spacious and had all amenities.

I’ve stayed at Rio Vista three times in the past. The hotel is clean, the attendant helpful and gorgeous views all around. This time, we had bedbugs unfortunately. We woke up around 11 or so, scratching our skin, only to see bed bugs on us and on the white sheets. I immediately called the attendant and was moved to another room. The next day, I requested a refund and I was not given it. I’m sorry to say I will not be returning to this lovely property. They didn’t try to refund me the night as of yet and the bed bug problem is probably still at large in their establishment. I would not recommend this to any travelers and for those who have stayed the night, better check your belongings. My son was bit so much, we had to get help from a nurse and had to get a prescribed ointment for all his bites!! I have pictures of the bugs in their bed as well as the bites on his body and mine.

Such a gorgeous Victorian house! It’s 5 minute walk from the Boardwalk. Friendly front desk staff. I will be staying here again
