Beautiful Large 4BR Home with POOL
I can’t say enough great things about this place!!!!! Perfect location for my family. We are originally from the area and were visiting back home from Ohio. Love the place love the location. Unfortunately the pool wasn’t working which for us in the Midwest we don’t see a pool between September and May were sad we didn’t get to swim as much as we wanted but it wasn’t in the cards this trip. We will for sure stay here again!

Central Coast; Meadow, Hot Tub, Polite Pets Welcom
This was the most peaceful and beautiful space I have ever been to. The view from the balcony was gorgeous. All the greenery and the deers and random dog was super gorgeous and felt really at home. The hot tub was amazing and super relaxing. Robert was very kind and responsive, Received a phone call about all the lights, hot tub, close trails, and recommended spots!! Super helpful and very kind gesture. Would 100% go back to this place

Monterey Bay Oasis on the Ocean!
This place was nicer than the photos and absolutely perfect for a girls weekend. Everything was well equipped and labeled. The location was very quiet and peaceful with great access to a quiet beach. You definitely need a car as it's a little isolated but that added to the charm.

Private Pool Villa for family getaways
Great, serene spot. I'm sure it's wonderful in the summer time with the pool though we didn't use as weather was cold.

Redwood Oasis - Private Heated Pool by State Park!
Everything about our stay was fantastic!! The beds, the pool, the town…the three of us loved this Airbnb and look forward to coming back. Swimming in a heated pool in the winter is a heavenly experience.

Perfect home with pool for family vacations!
Such a nice place to stay in Silicon Valley. Tucked back into the beautiful hills, with a walking loop through the oak trees just down the street. Responsive host. A perfect retreat.

Relax Watch Waves Crash Chic + Modern 3BD
Crystal’s place provided a perfect place for our group of four to relax and explore the Central California coast from Santa Cruz to Big Sur. The home was immaculate, comfortable, and well-furnished. She was a very helpful and responsive host.

Beautiful 3BD Home w/ Heated Pool and Fire Pit
The house was great for our family stay. Lots of space, all on one level, and beautiful outdoor space. We travelled with our kids and they had a great time in the pool :) Note there is extra cost if you want the pool to be heated. Thanks for a great stay!

Victorian Beach House Santa Cruz
We had a wonderful time at Diana’s place. Great Victorian home, perfect location (especially with kids), and Diana was super responsive and generous. We’ll be back!

Beachy Keen Westside Bungalow
We spent a long weekend at Lauren's place and it was a wonderful, relaxing home away from home. Check-in was super smooth and we absolutely loved the area the listing was in. It's walkable (or a very short drive) to many local eateries, breweries, shops, and cafes on the west side and there's also plenty of nature-oriented things to do since it's so close to the ocean — hikes, beaches, walks, parks etc. The listing itself was very clean and had everything we need. Lauren even left some snacks and drinks for us as a welcome gift which we thought was very sweet. The kitchen is well stocked for your needs there. The one small setback was that it didn't have a a full sized refrigerator so the frozen foods we bought didn't quite fit into the mini fridge's freezer section. Everything was spotless and though it was raining while we were there, we would definitely come back and enjoy the patio space next time. Highly recommend this listing for a peaceful getaway to Santa Cruz.

Serenity at Natural Bridges - 5 min Walk to Beach
What a great location! We loved our girls' weekend for four, less than a ten minute walk to Natural Bridges Beach and also the Monarch Trail, it was so ideal. Amazing two mile walk on the cliffs' above the ocean one morning to the Lighthouse, complete with a Saturday craft fair. Grocery stores within five minute drive. Home is very bright, clean, cozy, and comfortable. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Santa Cruz.

Big Beautiful Home Away From Home/9beds/18 Guests
Thank you!

Updated Westside home. 4 blocks from the beach!
This comfortable house worked great for two couples and our friends who dropped by for dinner. The location is wonderful - super quiet and an easy walk to the ocean, optionally through a beautiful park. Short drive to good markets and restaurants. We enjoyed the spacious hot tub and appreciated being able to bring our dog. It is more comfy and cozy than super glam, but that was perfect for us. Ian was a great communicator and shared some wonderful recommendations - don't miss La Hacienda Taqueria!

High end home in Silicon Valley, Non-Smokers only
I can't say enough about this place. it's absolutely perfect!

Spacious 3-Story Home Close To SC Beach Boardwalk
This place was beautiful and walking distance to The Boardwalk. Very clean with an airy feel. Nice amenities, great closets and lovely jacuzzi bath in the master. Definitely recommend!!

Beach Suite
Andrew was a great host who was responsive and proactive. The space was comfortable, quiet and within walking distance of the ocean. The king sized bed was comfortable. There is a small kitenette with a mini-fridge. Parking is on the street in front of the unit. We were very happy with our stay and highly recommend this for your visit to Santa Cruz!

Gorgeous 3-bedroom home, quiet, close to shopping!
The Home was great, all amenities were perfect, had everything we needed, felt just like home & would happily book again!

Spacious Winchester Orchard House
Very nice, comfortable home. The home came with everything we needed, including a well equipped kitchen. The house was so close to everything and yet the neighborhood was indeed very peaceful. We really enjoyed our stay!

Sunny, Spacious, and Modern Home Near The Beach
Two families with 2 littles kids each (3-8yo) stayed there and it was perfect for us. The house is very spacious, perfect for the 8 of us. Nearby Boardwalk and other fun locations to enjoy with the kids. We picked some tomatoes and a couple of asian pears for breakfast and they were delicious. The kitchen is very well provisioned with lots of utensils and condiments that made our meals much better. Thank you Sun and family! I was a little bit scared with the almost 3 years old when I read some reviews, but he did great. He was interested in some National Geographic books in the living room and I hope we put them back in the right place :) looking forward to come back in the future.

Short walk to beach - Perfect beach getaway
So close to beach and very comfortable! Loved hanging out on the porch.

Classic Beach House - Walk to Seacliff Beach
The Beach House was exactly as described - tastefully remodeled while retaining the classic Aptos Beach bungalow vibe. Very thoughtfully prepared with outdoor games and items you would need for a beach getaway. The outdoor area and backyard are cleverly organized for everything you would want. I just wish we could have stayed longer (and had warmer weather!). Lots of great information in the folder for things to do and places to eat. Kudos!!

Charming, Light-filled House Walk To The Beach
Sarah’s house is beautiful and exactly like the pictures! Super communicative with our every need. Tons of space and amenities! Loved the outdoor patio and the peek a boo ocean views! Sarah is an amazing host. Would absolutely stay here again! Love the fact that we were able to bring our dog! Thank you again for the amazing stay and making my family feel so welcomed!

Beach Hill Hideaway - Beach Boardwalk, steps away
We had an A+ stay in this wonderful place. Well appointed (esp kitchen), very comfortable (esp beds!), lovely touches in every room, great location. Communication with Domonique was terrific - very responsive and helpful. Just a great stay!!!

Flat Stroll to the Beach / Hot Tub / Private Yard
It was a really nice stay with a really friendly and responsive host 10/10 would stay again!
