Tucked in a residential neighborhood at the east end of town, this modern Mediterranean-style B&B sits right across the street from the ocean and a popular surfing beach (where surfing lessons are available). The rooms are handsomely furnished and include such deluxe amenities as fireplaces and private patios. You have use of the large rooftop sundeck and hot tub, which overlook the Pacific. Because this is a popular romantic getaway spot, it's best not to bring kids. Pros: Fantastic views, ideal for checking the swells, quirky neighborhood. Cons: Few rooms, several miles from major attractions.
