Seascape Beach Resort condo with ocean view
John's place is a gem at Seascape! Beautifully decorated, clean, ocean views, host left wine+snacks, hot tub on site, and everything one would need. Went for a birthday/mom's getaway weekend. Came back happy and relaxed!

Thanks for the stay! Enjoyed the place. Great location for beach lovers.

Luxury Villa - Flora View - Ground Level -Seascape
Clean, well organized and maintained condo. Lots of parking in the complex. Anthony was very responsive with clear instructions for check in and checkout and responded quickly to any questions we had. Overall, we had a wonderful long weekend stay at Anthony and Traci’s home !

Sunset and the beach at Seascape
We stayed at Kathleen's place for Thanksgiving, just after some torrential storms. The weather, however, was fantastic, and we enjoyed the pool and hot tub (saltwater--a pleasant surprise!). The beach was really great; our girls really enjoyed hunting for sea glass. Our older one discovered some old glass that dated back to pre-WWII and had trace amounts of uranium in it (it glows bright green under UV light). After that, looking for sea glass was all they wanted to do.... I don't know if all Seascape units are as nicely appointed, but this one was clean, modern, and comfortable. I can't recall if it is in the description, but it has a nice collection of puzzles and board games.

Riverview Beach Bungalow
We had such a lovely stay at Terri's place. She is a wonderful host and has set her bungalow up perfectly for comfort and enjoyment. We enjoyed using the grill for dinner and the outside firepit with friends. Can't wait to go back! Thank you Terri!

Seascape Ocean Front Villa
We had an incredible stay at Bjorn's Airbnb! The place was not only clean and beautifully decorated, but it also had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. What truly made this experience exceptional was Bjorn, we were in Aptos to attend a wedding and needed an iron :), Bjorn quickly brought us the iron and ironing board (although we didn't need it anymore)! A++ for us! He went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay. I can’t recommend this place enough—thank you for an amazing place!

7 BR across from sand beach! *groceries delivery
It is a lovely home but it is the location that is so special. There is pathway right across the street that goes directly to the ocean and its long, long beaches. It was an amazing place to stay.

Cottage Creekside in the Redwoods
The sound of the creek flowing water was a treat. The redwood trees in the yard are impressive. The kitchen worked well for Thanksgiving meal prep and enjoyed the big kitchen table. Great combination of a restored home with modern upgrades. Extremely clean and well equipped. Jenni communicates well and provided great recommendations. We are very thankful to have the opportunity to stay at this house.

Cypress by the Sea - Historic Beach Cottage

Seascape Oceanview Luxury 2B w/theater walk2beach
My family had a wonderful time staying at Joanne's place in Seascape! This was a Christmas gift for my parents, and they absolutely loved it. The location is fantastic—just a short walk to the beach, and you can see the ocean from the condo. The space was very comfortable for our group of five adults, with room to relax in the living room and eat together at the dining table. The kitchen was relatively well-stocked, which made it easy to prepare meals. One standout feature was the projector, which was a great addition for movie nights. The only downside was that the WiFi connection for the projector was a bit spotty. Joanne was super helpful and accommodating throughout our stay, making sure we had everything we needed. We look forward to staying here again in the future!

Seascape Ocean View Condo
We stay at Seascape a couple of times a year, we love the location: beautiful beach walks, pools and hot tubs, walk to the market, and then just a quick drive to Capitola, downtown Santa Cruz, or even the boardwalk. This particular rental was lovely and very homey. The beds are comfortable, the bathrooms are clean, the kitchen is well appointed, there are two nice balconies- one with a great table that is perfect for cocktails or coffee. There are two pullout couches, which made the living room so fun to watch movies with the teenagers. More than anything, we appreciated the very accommodating host, who was kind enough to let us check in early so that we could leave our bags while we went shopping downtown. It was really a lovely stay. I recommend both Seascape, and this particular rental, very highly.

OceanView Villa Steps to Heated Pool & Beach Path
This is a "home run" sort of airbnb. I was trying to plan future trips around staying here within 20 mins of checking in. good sign! very organized, and feels like home without the clutter. Peaceful ocean view from the living room patio and bedroom. I was doing a staycation and I liked it so much I added on another day. don't second guess just book it. book it. book it!!!!! I'd be surprised if you didn't thoroughly enjoy all that it has to offer. wonderful communicative hosts. thank you for a great get away. Love your place and I am picky! Being a Realtor and going into lots of homes I can truly appreciate it when someone does it right.

Condo in Seascape Beach Resort
Really enjoyed our stay at Tess’s place. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to enjoy the pool or hot tub because we went exploring, but the grounds were beautiful and the condo was just as pictured. It was perfect for a three day stay. Tess was very clear with instructions and responsive.

Seascape Resort Villa Beautiful Ocean View Sleep 6
This was the cleanest AirBnB we've ever stayed in! Pristine! Tidy! Stunning ocean views from both the living room & primary bedroom. The entire villa has been remodeled yet still has the Old World Charm and coziness. This Villa is located on the 2nd floor of North Bluff - is very private - has a pool jacuzzi just steps away. The resort offers many amenities, restaurant, bar, room service (or pick up) massage, sauna - endless. Aptos Village is right across the street - walking distance offering many shops, market and a great place for pizza and Italian food. We will definitely stay with Sue again - as soon as we can! Next time, we'll try her other property #33. Sue is a GREAT hostess in every area and has earned Super Host many times over!

Royal Villa - Ocean View - Heated Pools - Seascape
Great location! We had a beautiful view of the ocean from our living room and the balcony and the kitchen area. We enjoyed the nearby shops, beach and restaurants . The bed, sheets, pillows and bedding were super comfortable and very good quality. We enjoyed the fireplace, all of the space really and we look forward to returning. There were ample hooks for towels, jackets etc and thats nice. The furniture appeared new, was comfortable and very nice. There were just two of us but the space could easily accommodate 4. We had a king bed, the extra (murphy) bed was very cool, a nice piece of furniture. There were swivel chairs on the balcony and they were great. We dined on the balcony, so very nice.
