“Edgewater Beach Inn strikes me as a recently updated, family-oriented choice near Santa Cruz's main attractions. Its central location, placing guests within easy walking distance of the Boardwalk, wharf, and beach, is a definite asset. While kitchen facilities appear inconsistent across room types, families who secure a suite can potentially save on dining costs during their stay.”
