Flora Vista Review
Multicolor fields of flowers, strawberries, and veggies unfold in every direction at this luxury neo-Georgian inn set on two serene acres in a rural community just south of Aptos; Sand Dollar Beach is just a short walk away. Innkeepers Deanna and Ed Boos transformed the 1867 home, a replica of Abe Lincoln's Springfield farmhouse, adding modern conveniences like Wi-Fi and spa tubs while retaining the house's original redwood floors and country charm. Guests wake to a full breakfast—which might include the neighbor's strawberries—and enjoy a wine, tea, and appetizer spread in the late afternoon. Stroll through the eclectic gardens (something's always in bloom) or play tennis on one of the two courts. The inn is on the Pacific Coast Bike Route and welcomes cyclists.
