Our go to spot when we visit Santa Cruz. The rooms are spotless, the beds are super comfortable, the shower is hot and the ac is super cool. The boardwalk is easily walkable along with pacific point for a breakfast burrito or shrine for some delicious coffee. Easy parking in a safe and super convenient location :)

This place was very nice. Large spacious room with a Big Bathroom and Amazing walk in shower. They were great and welcoming to us and my service dog. Great location as well. Can easily walk to so many places you would like to go near by. I would definitely stay at The Seaway again.

We had a very nice time at this inn, the staff was very welcoming, accommodating and had excellent communication. The rooms and entire place was very clean and beautiful, the location was absolutely perfect close to the beach, pier and boardwalk. It was the perfect size for us and the kiddos. Thank you for a wonderful stay
