Other Things to Note:  
  
Nestled along the rugged Northern California coast, Santa Cruz County boasts a vibrant history that sets it apart as a cultural and adventurous gem. It all began in the summer of 1885, when three Hawaiian princes—David Kawānanakoa, Edward Keli‘iahonui, and Jonah Kūhiō Kalaniana‘ole—brought surfing to the mainland United States for the first time. Paddling out at the mouth of the San Lorenzo River on hefty redwood boards crafted from local trees, they awed onlookers and sparked a legacy that earned Santa Cruz the title of "Surf City." This wasn’t just a fleeting moment; their influence ignited a surf culture that thrives today, celebrated at the Santa Cruz Surfing Museum overlooking the legendary Steamer Lane. For guests at our coastal boutique surf hotel, this storied past flows right to our doorstep, inviting you to ride the same waves that birthed American surfing.  
  
Beyond the breakers, Santa Cruz County has carved its name into the annals of adventure as a pioneer in mountain biking and skateboarding. In the 1970s, the Santa Cruz Mountains became the proving ground for mountain biking, where local riders like Gary Fisher and Charlie Kelly tinkered with clunky bikes to conquer steep trails, laying the groundwork for a global sport. Meanwhile, the region’s skateboard scene exploded, fueled by the innovative designs of Santa Cruz Skateboards, founded in 1973\. With iconic graphics by artist Jim Phillips—think the screaming hand logo—the brand became a counterculture icon, shaping skateboarding’s rebellious spirit. Whether you’re shredding singletrack or cruising the boardwalk, Santa Cruz offers a playground steeped in adrenaline and ingenuity.  
  
The county’s creative pulse beats just as strong, weaving music and art into its coastal fabric. Santa Cruz has long been a haven for musicians, from the psychedelic rock of the 1960s to today’s indie scene, with venues like The Catalyst hosting legends and up-and-comers alike. Art flourishes here too, with downtown galleries, street murals, and the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History showcasing local talent alongside artifacts like those historic Hawaiian surfboards. The wine scene adds another layer of artistry, with the Santa Cruz Mountains AVA producing world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from boutique vineyards like Ridge and Storrs. Sip a glass on a sunlit patio, and you’re tasting the region’s terroir—a blend of coastal fog and mountain sun.  
  
Summer in Santa Cruz County ignites with food and festivals that celebrate its eclectic spirit. The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, a century-old seaside icon, hums with carnival vibes, while events like the Capitola Art & Wine Festival and Santa Cruz Clam Chowder Cook-Off spotlight local flavors—think fresh seafood, farm-to-table bites, and innovative fusion cuisine. From poke bowls echoing the area’s Hawaiian roots to artisanal treats at farmers’ markets, the food scene is as diverse as the landscape. Pair that with outdoor concerts, surf contests, and mountain bike races, and you’ve got a season brimming with reasons to explore. At our hotel, you’re not just staying—you’re stepping into a living tapestry of history, adventure, and creativity that makes Santa Cruz County unforgettable.

#### Nice place, but timing is important.

Loved the cleanliness and newness of property, especially the lounging areas and fire pit. However, there is major construction/excavation going on next door, and it negatively impacted our experience. Just be careful when you book, to screen for the construction issue. The property manager should get in contact with the adjacent property in order to warn travelers.
