Tucked away at the edge of a forest, yet just a few miles from all the action in Santa Cruz.

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

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

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.

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

Classic motel-style digs updated with sophisticated modern beachy décor – mins from the boardwalk, downtown & Mystery Spot(!).

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

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

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

Throws in a free breakfast, on the house.

Perched right(!) on(!) the Beach Boardwalk, steps from all the theme park rides, food stands and live bands.

The outdoor pool takes vacay vibes to new heights.

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

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