It was clean, beautiful, and a safe area for travel. The owner was an excellent communicator and I am looking forward to returning. The Paris room was very well decorated and had such an elegant vibe. The fireplace was so beautiful and faces the sitting room and your bedroom area. Also, the mattress was a very good quality. Breakfast brought to your room in the morning was a good touch. Along with ample parking for guests.

Amazing place. We were supposed to stay for one night but stayed for two. Room was excellent, bed comfy and the staff were helpful. Close to really cheap laundrette, do it yourself or leave it. We got a stack washed, dried and folded for $20.00. Coffee over the road, Petes from memory. Capitola was a gem of a surprise and we will definitely be back.

Everything was great. The only thing I would recommend is that the breakfast food area be expanded. It is very small and does not accommodate enough people.

We really enjoyed our stay at Chaminade. The location in the forest above Santa Cruz is beautiful and very peaceful, with great views. Our room was clean, comfortable and quiet, with a nice patio to relax on. The pool and hot tub area were perfect for our family, and the walking paths around the property were lovely. Staff were friendly and helpful whenever we needed something.

Location was great - walking distance to beach, hiking trails, food, coffee, etc. it was also a quick drive to Santa Cruz boardwalk where we spent a day. The kids loved pool and hot tub, but there were never any towels. The restaurant staff was attentive and the food was good.

We've always been pleased with the location, rooms, pool, hot tub, etc. at Rio Sands. The staff is very friendly and helpful anytime we've visited. The beach access couldn't be better. There are plenty of places to shop and eat in the area. It's a wonderful spot.
