Oceanfront hotels in Santa Cruz

-----Sample content -----

You deserve the ultimate relaxing vacation. Leave your responsibilities behind and let the Miami seaside work its magic and take you from stressed to soothed in an instant. With a coastal vibe that’s relaxing and energizing at the same time, oceanfront hotels in Miami provide the refreshing days and tranquil nights you crave.

Get away to the seashore
You want to spend the day watching sunlight shimmer on the waves, and be lulled to sleep at night by the rhythmic sound of sea meeting shore. Perhaps you’re a sun worshipper looking for beachfront hotels in Miami, or a daredevil who loves close proximity to watersports. Whatever your reason, ocean views provide the perfect backdrop for getaways big and small.

• Romance: The beauty of the seaside is just the right romantic setting for a getaway with your sweetheart. Take a walk along the coast and come back to a clean, comfortable room, or share a bottle of wine while gazing at the waves.
• Reunions: Whether you’re meeting up with family or friends, Miami hotels with an ocean view are a great choice for reunions of all sizes. There are plenty of ways to pass the time bonding with your loved ones in Miami, and an oceanfront hotel gives your group a restful retreat at the end of each day.
