Upscale, Oceanfront Inn Honored for a Second Consecutive Year by Guests Voting in Arrington's Bed and Breakfast Journal Annual Ranking

Santa Cruz, Calif., December 4, 2002 - The Pleasure Point Inn, an upscale bed and breakfast located in Santa Cruz, California, was honored as the "B&B/Inn with the Best Package Deal" in the 2003 Book of Lists published by Arrington's Bed & Breakfast Journal. This marks the second consecutive year that the Pleasure Point Inn has received the top spot in a Book of Lists category after being voted "B&B/Inn with the Best Seaside View" in the 2002 ranking.

The Book of Lists highlights the results of a national contest in which inn-goers voted for top bed and breakfasts in a variety of categories. The ballot is available in the December, 2002 issue of Arrington's Bed and Breakfast Journal.

The Pleasure Point Inn won the award with its "Coastal Escapes" spa package. Designed for two adults, this package features two nights at the Mediterranean-style inn, an in-room massage for both guests, reservations for tours and wine tasting at local wineries, dinner reservations and an expanded continental breakfast each morning. The inn's spectacular ocean views and elegant accommodations create an ideal setting for a coastal getaway. Package prices range from $535 to $668.

"We created the spa package to make it very easy for guests to plan a complete getaway," said Claire St. Laurent, who jointly owns the inn with Tom Ertel. "We are thrilled with the success of the package and are very thankful to our guests for the Book of Lists honor."

Two sports-themed packages are also available for travelers who want to experience the ocean sports that Santa Cruz is known for. The "Room and Board" surf package ($563 - $696) includes a two-night stay at the inn and surf lessons with Club Ed Surf School for two adults. The "Sunset over the Monterey Bay" kayak package ($517 - $650) features two nights at the inn and a guided, 2.5 hour kayak tour of the ocean at sunset for two adults.

Jonathan Lauterbach, who was recently named operations manager of the Pleasure Point Inn, can help guests design individual itineraries to suit their preferences as well.
