You are bidding on a gift certificate for a one-night stay in a Deluxe Ocean View room (plus overnight valet parking) at the upscale beachfront Dream Inn and a $100 credit at Aquarius.

The Dream Inn's is a four-star luxury hotel with eclectic touches and a natural, laid back atmosphere. Every one of the 165 deluxe Santa Cruz guestrooms and suites feature spectacular views of the Monterey Bay from private balconies or patios. Take in breathtaking sunsets from your balcony, watch the surfers, and let the peaceful sound of the ocean waves lull you to sleep.

Offering panoramic oceanfront dining with views of Cowell’s Beach and the Boardwalk, Aquarius is truly a “window box on the sea.” The American cuisine is inspired by fresh and local produce and complemented by a regional wine list. The casually elegant, cool and modern interior is the perfect place to watch surfers by day and enjoy romantic sunset and moonrise views at night. Handcrafted cocktails, beer and regional wines are available all day in the stylish adjacent lounge.
