Statistically, home is the place you're most likely to fall asleep under a running lawn mower or spontaneously combust while trying to slow dance with a running lawn mower. Find a safe haven with today's Groupon: for $89, you get a one-night stay in an ocean-view room at Beach Street Inn and Suites (formerly Terrace Court Motel), located adjacent to Santa Cruz Beach (up to a $339 value). Guests scheduling their stay Friday nights between June 10 and August 24 are required to book a two-night minimum stay.

Bedecked with modern furnishings, dual queen beds, plush linens, and a picturesque view of the Monterey Bay, Beach Street Inn's ocean-view rooms bathe guests in a synthesis of surf and sun. In-room amenities include cable television, wireless Internet, and a kitchenette equipped with a refrigerator and microwave, creating a comfortable base of operations for wave watchers and sand smugglers. Guests of the inn can observe the aquascape from their attached balcony or patio, hit the beach and its volleyball courts, or drive the ocean wild with jealousy by lavishing the attention on the inn’s heated swimming pool. Grilling enthusiasts can also opt to pal around with water’s nemesis, fire, by stoking steak-searing flames in the barbecue and picnic area. Numerous downtown shops, galleries, theaters, and eateries—all within walking distance—provide adventuresome vacationers with a chance to go on safari for souvenirs and scrapbook-worthy photo ops.
