With the amenities
of a modern hotel and the casual atmosphere of a B&B, the four-room
Pleasure Point Inn has the right combination of everything you want
in a romantic coastal getaway: a beautiful ocean view overlooking
Monterey Bay, a quiet neighborhood location, contemporary design
and décor, and a rooftop deck that you will never want to leave.
Basically, it's the seaside vacation house you've always wanted.
It's named for the Pleasure Point beach and surf break that's right
across the street, where local long-boarders provide viewing entertainment
from sunrise to sunset. Each guest room is impeccably clean and
outfitted with custom furnishings, wood flooring, hand-painted tiles,
private bathrooms, down comforters, a gas fireplace, and private
entrances. An expanded continental breakfast is serviced in the
oceanview dining/lounge area (I spotted a grey whale while munching
on a bagel); after breakfast, guests can stroll the paved coastal
path down to Capitola, walk to the beach, or relax on the sunny
rooftop deck (top-side toys include an eight-person hot tub, chaise
lounge chairs, and surround-sound music).
