Seeking the skinny on the CA resort near Santa Cruz called "Costanoa" - Would love any and all advice.

Thanks!

I love that section of coastline - it is one of my favorites. Plenty of good beachcombing beaches, some good parks close by, a couple little towns. I have never been to Costanoa, but some of my friends spent a weekend there and they liked it. I don't have any more details though.

Here are some photos I took when I stayed in the lodge a few years ago. I think the multiple use of this land is wonderful, something nice in every price range and of courst this is a spectacular location. I look forward to visiting again.

I stayed there about 3 years ago. We had a great time. We stayed in a tent cabin and had use of a hot tub. If you stay in a tent cabin you have to use a common bath area. They call them comfort stations, they're very nice with saunas. The only thing I don't like about the area is that it tends to be very windy and when we were there ticks were everywhere.

Thank you all for your suggestions.
And Bodi in particular for the pics -- They are exactly what we needed!
