The Inn Team: The inn has been owned by Claire St. Laurent and Tom Ertel since 1999. Their efforts resulted in an extensive renovation to the inn that transformed the former beach house-style inn into a modern, upscale property that was complete in July, 2001. Susan DaRoza and Tara Forrest manage the inn day-to-day and are loved by guests for their hospitality and valuable recommendations that help guests make the most of their time in the Santa Cruz area.
Location: The Pleasure Point Inn's oceanfront location is on the corner of 37th Avenue and East Cliff Drive in a coastal neighborhood where local surfers ride the Pleasure Point break from sunrise to sunset every day. Just .5 miles from Capitola, the inn is central to nearby attractions in Capitola and Santa Cruz.
Activities:

The Santa Cruz area has a lot to offer travelers - especially those who love the outdoors. A beautiful trail passes along the front of the inn where people can walk, bike or run along the coast. The Pleasure Point Beach is literally steps away from our front door. The lively restaurants, quaint shops and popular beach of Capitola Village are 2 miles from the inn. Active travelers can take advantage of the easy access to water sports that include surfing, kayaking, deep-sea fishing and sailing. The area also has fantastic hiking trails all across the county. Surprising to many, Santa Cruz has a number of small, reputable wineries where visitors can sample wines and picnic on their scenic grounds.

The Bay: The inn overlooks the Monterey Bay, which was designated as a National Marine Sanctuary in 1992. Because of this designation, the bay's natural beauty and marine environment are protected by the US Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Getting There: The Pleasure Point Inn is approximately 38 miles from the Mineta San Jose International Airport, 65 miles from the San Francisco International Airport, and 35 miles from the city of Monterey.
Pricing: Current room rates range from $220 - $265 during the summer. Fall, winter and spring rates range from $165 - $265.
