“This beachfront Victorian inn provides a cozy spot in Santa Cruz, across from Cowell's Beach. I noted the complimentary wine and cheese hour and gourmet breakfast add a touch of relaxed luxury, and its proximity to local attractions is a definite plus for families or couples. I think the blend of historic charm and modern convenience makes it a standout choice.”
