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

Fireplace in every room. Snuggle up with a good e-book for the evening. (Who uses paper anymore?)

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

On a quiet street a 5-min walk from Lovers Point, or take the 25-min scenic walk to the famous aquarium.

A touch of Cape-Cod charm just steps from the pristine beaches of the Monterey Peninsula.

A 5-min drive gets ya beachside.

Pacific Avenue locale drops ya smack dab between downtown and the boardwalk (both within strolling distance!).

A more or less five-minute drive to the beachfront, Fisherman's Wharf and great array of eateries.

This place made American Historic Inns’ 10 Most Romantic Inns in America’ list. And we heartily concur.

In old town Monterey, a short drive to Cannery Row, the Aquarium and Carmel.

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

In-room Keurigs, WiFi, HBO, microwaves, fridges — yeah, we see no reason to leave either.

Spot-on location puts you steps from the biggies like downtown, Cannery Row and Old Fisherman’s Wharf – plus tons of dining options.

Sizable suites are sweet indeed with separate living areas and fully equipped kitchens.

Ideal perch steps from local shops and restaurants – plus the beach right outside your door.

Elegant rooms boast hardwood floors, fireplaces and decor reflecting the spot's rich history.

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

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

Only a mile from Fisherman’s Wharf. Why not get some exercise and walk there?

Just a 2-min stroll from the Rio Del Mar beach.

Your toes are less than a 10-min walk from digging into the sand, and even closer to the outdoor pool.

Low-key stay for adventuring your way around the fab Monterey Bay Area. Oodles of options. Free WiFi helps you concoct a plan.

The continental breakfast serves up the two sacred Cs: carbs and caffeine.

Winning location puts you just a couple of minutes from the waterfront and Fisherman's Wharf.

Chill Salinas location close to Monterey attractions.

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

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

A former rail depot beloved by locals, each room is inspired by a destination known for welcoming travelers.

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.

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

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