    Our stay at Flora Vista Inn was fantastic! From the moment we walked through the door to the day we sadly had to leave, Ed and Deanna made us feel welcome and showered us with all kinds of special treats. They were very knowledgeable and able to answer all of our questions about the area. The evening wine and hors-d'oeuvres were gourmet recipes that Deanna fixed fresh each night. The gourmet breakfasts complete with fresh fruits greeted us and delighted us each morning. Outside water fountains flowed, birds chirpped, and flowers galore bloomed. Our room was clean, charming, and very comfortable. The views of the landscape from each of the rooms are so magnificient that we didn't want to close the drapes. Ed and Deanna also gave us excellent recommendations on restaurants and out-of-the way interesting things to see and do. When we made the reservations by phone, Deanna remembered us from 5 years ago when we stayed there for our 45th High School Reunion. This time it was our 50th HS Reunion. We met another couple from our class here, and we hope to stay here for our next reunion.

    Wonderful Stay

    July 17, 2012

    My sister and I arrived at the Flora Vista Inn after a 15 mile walk from Santa Cruz. Ed & Deanna were so welcoming, preparing us wine and a delicious snack. They went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. And the big jacuzzi tub sure felt good on our sore muscles!

    Would stay again

    September 07, 2011

    Quality B&B where we had an enjoyable stay. Rooms and clean and nicely decorated. Conveniently located with easy drive to Aptos, Capitola & Santa Cruz. The tennis courts are clay, well maintained and ready to play. They have a guest social in the evening with wine and snacks as well as a full hearty, delicious, cooked breakfast. Ed & Deanna are more than happy to help you with dinner reservations or sightseeing tips.

    Lovely bed & breakfast near the beach

    August 31, 2011

    Our stay was a nice break from the city. The house was quiet and peaceful. We walked down to the beach and enjoyed watching multiple dolphins swim by the shore. The breakfasts were delicious and the owners were very accomadating to my food allergies. I would definitely recommend this place to a friend.

    relaxing

    August 24, 2011

    Flora Vista Inn was a relaxing destination. We walked to the beach, relaxed in the chairs on the lawn and ate really well at breakfast time. Our room had a huge tub that both my husband and I could sit in and relax. If you want to be stree free then Flora Vista is your place to go.
