Making
a Pleasurable Point

Most people
think of Pleasure Point as that neighborhood with the weird skinny
houses and great surf.
Now there's
another way to think about Pleasure Point: as home to an award-winning
bed-and-breakfast inn.
The Pleasure
Point Inn was recently honored as the "B&B/Inn with the
Best Seaside View" by Arrington's Bed and Breakfast Journal.
The voting was
done by guests of inns across the country.
The bed-and-breakfast
on East Cliff Drive was bought two years ago by CLAIRE DYER and
TOM ERTEL, who split their time between homes in Santa Cruz and
Indiana where Tom works.
They immediately
went to work, turning the country-style inn into an upscale, more
modern-style bed and breakfast with hardwood floors, metal sculpture
and photographs by local BOB BARBOUR.
A rooftop deck
overlooks the ocean, and three of the inn's four rooms have ocean
views.
"We greatly
appreciate this honor," Claire said of the award.
If you want
to check out the bed and breakfast on your own, there are a variety
of winter specials available that take $33 to $66 off the price
of your room.
If you want
a special treat, you can take a "Weekday Escapes," which
includes on-site massages, wine-tasting at local wineries, reservations
for a romantic dinner and an oceanview room with Jacuzzi tub, fireplace
and a private patio overlooking the bay. The package is $656 until
Jan. 1 and $598 after that. Call 469-6161.
The inn is managed
by TOM PERRY.
