Seascape Resort
This fairly new resort is located just minutes away from Santa Cruz. While I would consider it a big splurge, the accommodations are special. We stayed in a 1-bedroom suite complete with fireplace and kitchenette. The Resort sits on the bluffs at Seascape Beach and our room had ocean views. There is a good restaurant on site. Adjacent to the resort there is a workout facility with a golf course and tennis courts.
