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

Dreamy beachfront location, a few blocks from the bustling boardwalk and next to the wharf.

Less than 2 miles from the boardwalk. Meander at your own pace, preferably with an ice cream in hand.

Tons of options at the complimentary hot breakfast — the only tough choice we like being faced with before noon.

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

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

Throws in a free breakfast, on the house.

The outdoor pool takes vacay vibes to new heights.

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

Updated rooms get the essentials right and have colorful, warm décor.

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

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

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.

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

Less than 10 min from Winchester Mystery House and only 15 min from San Jose.
