this place was phenomenal for my work trip to Santa Cruz. The location was great, I didn't have any trouble finding parking on the street (in November) and it was an incredibly comfortable place to be based. the kitchen was well equipped with pots, pans, knives, etc... and even had a dishwasher! It also had a very large sink, which was lovely.

Romantic Getaway to Seascape Villa, hotel in Santa Cruz

Romantic Getaway to Seascape Villa offers accommodation at the Seascape Beach Resort in Aptos. The unit is 39 km from Monterey. Free WiFi is provided .

We stayed here overnight while traveling south from San Francisco. The location, and the pool access are very nice, and the apartment was much more spacious than we expected. Everything was clean and the kitchen was equipped well-enough to cook for a family. There are also some shops and restaurants in walking distance.

    The hotel was beautiful and felt like we were staying in a mansion. Their breakfast was fantastic since I booked it at the same time as the room and could get anything on the menu. It was very delicious!

    The room in this nicely decorated victorian house was very comfortable. Very comfy bed, luxurious bathroom and a great view of the sea. The good breakfast will have something for everyone and is a good start of the day. The hotel is very conveniently located to close to the pier and restaurants in walking distance. The complimentary Wine & Cheese as well as the home made cookies are not to be missed.

    I was in Santa Cruz for the Ironman 70. 3 race. I couldn't be happier with the location. It is right across the street from Athlete Village and the transition area. The hotel itself is nice with renovated bathroom, free parking, daily housekeeping, and good beds. It's a short stroll to the beach and Boardwalk. Would stay again at this property.

    I really liked how they turned a villa in to very good quality cozy accomodation. It was a 10 minute walk partly along the river to town for restaurants and shopping.

    The building looks very old and kind of dirty… they need to paint the whole building. Even the stairs looks like that we are in old house somewhere from the village. When we went to check in the front desk receptionist looks like mean to me… no smiles on her face at all. Doesn’t know how to greet the customers.
