Fern River Resort
3.0 star property
9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (374)
"If you are a person who loves 5-star luxury hotels with modern amenities, this ain’t it. However, if you love being surrounded by nature and a clean and functional living space for sleeping and eating between your nature fun, this is THE place. We only stayed a night while passing through the area in this cozy old school cabin with a river in the backyard. We picked up some grocery provisions and had a great time! In this crazy and chaotic world, it was a rare chance to breathe deeply and...

"We stayed for nearly a week in June, 2024. The outside of the buildings is weather worn, but we can see it is being worked on. The area where all the condo doors are reminds us of a tree house. Beautiful trees and plants and birdsong. There was ample parking right below our condo. Wheel barrows available for our luggage and supplies. Easy ramp for walking and then one flight of stairs. Easy access door to beach with stairs. After the stairs to beach, access is sand and narrow with a drop down to...

"Such a cute place and conveniently a few blocks from the beach. Took a short trip and wished it were longer but we will definitely be back! Aptos has our hearts always! My daughter loved the loft as she could see the stars at night out of her window, my son loved his morning walks/run around the beach… and mom and dad loved just being away from work!"

"I never knew this neighborhood existed. It is a seaside gem along the gorgeous Monterey Bay. The houses that dot the Pájaro Dunes look like something out of a storybook. We had a great time watching an otter make his way up the coast just a few yards off of shore. Hunting for sand dollars and digging up tons of sand crabs was another favorite with our kids. We had our own pickleball tournament and enjoyed some one on one basketball at the community courts. The host was very attentive,...

"We loved this little cottage for our sister retreat, quaint and cozy just as expected. The accommodations met our expectations as was advertised. Only thing we were left wanting was a cleaner landscape outside to sit and enjoy at night, seemed the yard keeper hadn't made it out in a bit. So grateful to found this place though!"

"We came to celebrate my boy’s 6th birthday. Everything was absolutely fabulous. The only reason for the 4 stars is the hike to the ocean was tough! That could have been advertised a bit more clear, especially when you are traveling with kids and trying to carry items it was extremely difficult. Otherwise great condo."

"The house was awesome and in a great location, just a couple of blocks from the bluffs and to some great markets and restaurants. The host was awesome as well, very responsive and helpful. The water main right near the house broke and left us without water for a good part of the day. Ann was not only on top of it with the city but ended up giving us a credit for the inconvenience. Would definitely recommend."

Hilton Santa Cruz/Scotts Valley

Hilton Santa Cruz/Scotts Valley

5/5 Excellent
Great Family Spot
"The hotel was family friendly and very clean. The heat in the room did not work so it stayed cool but not a huge deal. The pool area was nice. Staff does a great job of maintaining the property. Rooms are basic but kept very clean. Would definitely come back. "
