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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The outdoor pool takes vacay vibes to new heights.

Right off the freeway, two miles from dining and shopping at Santana Row and near the Valley's tech giants.

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

All rooms are suites, with full-sized fridges, stoves, microwaves and (probably most importantly) coffeemakers.

Ready your Pinterest recipe arsenal & break out that whimsical apron ‘cos there’s a full kitchen in every suite.

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

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