Getaway Trip

Beautiful getaway trip with the family.Kids went swimming at night, nice size pool and hot tub. The room accommodated our family of 5 perfectly. Breakfast buffet was great, locals were friendly.We explored Capitola the first night then Santa Cruz the next day. This was the perfect area to unwind feom the daily stress of life and renew yourself with a new perspective.
