A stunning mansion built in 1905 for part of the Ghirardelli family, recently restored and two blocks from the water. Can’t get much sweeter than that.

Free WiFi? Yup.

Tucked away in a chill residential 'hood, yet less than a 15-min flip flop to Del Monte Beach (a local hidden gem, btw).

Welcome wine from Bernardus' own vineyard starts your stay right. Complimentary in-room wine bar's even righter.

Walk to Fisherman's Wharf to see the sea lions in action (or inaction... they're usually kinda sleepy).

Continental breakfast for those mornings you just need three pastries, okay?

Peaceful setting overlooking the water boasts stellar views & a relaxing onsite spa.

The in-room fridge/micro combo has us prepared for any late-night hanger attacks.

Rooms are roomy! Each has a separate dressing area, as well as a fridge and coffeemaker. Looks like a great morning.

Kites and hang-gliders and sand dunes. Oh, my! Hard to find a better spot, just off scenic Highway 1 and around the bend from Marina State Beach.

Quiet ‘hood and townhouse-style pad let you feel local.

Chill Salinas location close to Monterey attractions.

In between Capitola Village and the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, steps from the beach.

So close to the Beach Boardwalk you can practically feel the pull of the taffy.
