Perfect spot to stay and be close to the boardwalk. You could hear the fun happening during park hours and when the park closed, it was quiet. Great place to stay. We will definitely come back.

This was a really lovely stay. Away from the noise of Santa Cruz, we relaxed in the pool, played pickle ball, and enjoyed the onsite bar/restaurant/music. Ideal for adults looking for a quiet few days away where you can park the car and stay put until checkout.
