An easy drive from the beach as well as the buzz of Santa Cruz (20 min) and Monterey (30 min).

Retro-chic reno’d rooms blend yesteryear’s flair with a mod sense of style.

Historic status as one of Cali's first seaside condo resorts dating back to the '20s.

Contemporary, comfy and casual, for when you don’t want your room to feel overdressed.

Träumerische Lage, direkt am Strand, nur ein paar Blocks vom lebhaften Boardwalk und neben dem Wharf.

Friendly motel steps from the boardwalk. It's like having a roller coaster and ice cream right in your room.

Modern interiors rock a fear-no-color palette and sea-themed artwork. For surfers, Pleasure Point and Lighthouse Point beckon.

Oh-so-serene beachfront locale is your front-row seat for to-die-for sunsets.

Frühstück ist die wichtigste Mahlzeit des Tages. Und hier geht‘s auf‘s Haus.

Downtown (and all the local hotspots) is only a 10-min walk away (read: stressful city parking is a non-problem).

Dangerously close (8-min walk) to the outlets. Retail therapy, anyone?

Kites, Drachenflieger und Sanddünen. Yeah, Baby! Eine besseren Spot zu finden, wird schwierig: Gleich am malerischen Highway 1 und um die Ecke von Marina State Beach.

Modern rooms nail our essentials – free WiFi, comfy beds, HBO.

So dicht am Beach Boardwalk, da kann man schon fast die Zuckerwatte schmecken.
