Seascape Ocean Front Villa
Beautiful location, very clean and place was perfect for me and my family. Will be booking again

Beautiful Large 4BR Home with POOL
This spacious home was absolutely beautiful for our stay! We especially appreciated the amenities that the home provided. Specifically, the pool and vast dining spaces were a perfect match for our large family. The location was in a quiet neighborhood, central to the attractions we wanted to see including downtown San Fransisco and the Winchester house. The homeowner was great with communication throughout the booking and check in/out process. Overall, we had a lovely stay in this gorgeous home.

Monterey Bay Oasis on the Ocean!
Love this place! Will definitely come back!

Redwood Oasis - Private Heated Pool by State Park!
Place is exactly as described. Glad we asked about the heated pool and got it heated during our stay. June was still chilly at night and would have made the pool too cold to swim in for mots of the day without heating. Place was clean and exactly as described.

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!

Silicon Valley Luxury I Sauna, Hot Tub, Pool
Beautiful property with stunning pool and nearby hikes. Comfortable bed and amenities in peaceful and quiet surroundings. Very friendly and responsive hosts. Thanks for such a wonderful stay! Would love to return again for future trips in the area!

Oceanfront Retreat w/Private HotTub
It was beautiful, private, and a hidden gem! We had lots of fun and enjoyed all the views throughout the house. The house is even better than the pictures. We had our 2 boys, had plenty to do between the beach, books, basketball, spa, ping pong, and games! We definitely recommend and would go back! Not to mention I love artichokes and this house is located in artichoke city!! So amazing!! 10/10 you won’t be disappointed!

Sunny Home w/Pool near Beach & Santa Cruz
Wonderful place in a wonderful environment. We had an excellent time with the kids, very nice pool, beaches close by and in the middle of the nice green hills of California

BoardwalkOasis-HotTub+EBikes+Surfbrd+GameRoomKayak
As mentioned by others, the place is super comfortable, has a lot of amenities and is super close to the boardwalk and the downtown area. However, what really stood out to us was the host’s hospitality. They were super accommodating when we mentioned we’d be getting to Santa Cruz a little early and if we could use the bikes to go cruise around in the meantime. We only stayed for one night, but were able to enjoy a full day of fun because of that. We rode to Brommer park, played pickleball, went back to check in, headed out to eat, walked around and then went back to enjoy the spa and ping pong table. The whole house was spacious and the beds were super comfortable. Definitely recommend David’s place.

Magical hilltop 3-bedroom with spectacular views
Very grateful for such a quiet and peaceful place to spend with family, GORGEOUS VIEWS! Very clean, one of the cleanest we have ever seen. You can tell how intentional and considerate the hosts are, as the home so very well kept and clean. Hope to stay again soon!

Seacliff Ocean View House, Recently Remodeled
We had a fantastic stay! The location was perfect—close to the beach and everything and so peaceful and relaxing. The home itself was beautiful, spotless, and incredibly well stocked with everything we could possibly need. The view from the upstairs balcony was absolutely stunning and quickly became one of our favorite spots to unwind. Our hostess was wonderful—so kind, thoughtful, and very responsive whenever we had a question. As a family of five, we had plenty of space to relax and enjoy ourselves after a long school year. We made some great memories here and are already hoping to come back. Highly recommend!

Pleasure Point Beach House!
My family and I spent a fantastic week at Jackie's house. Sunny, comfy, and well-equipped with everything visitors might need, the house is a perfect spot to start and end a day of exploring beautiful Santa Cruz. We hope to return!

Jaw-Dropping Beach-Front Retreat!
The place is beautiful and only steps away from a beautiful spot on the beach. Two of the rooms have a beautiful patio that provides an look into the ocean. The parking was a little bit difficult just because it is street parking and if you go on a crowded day you may have to circle around a couple times to get an open spot. The host was very kind and answered texts very quickly. I would stay here again in the future for sure.

Luxury Beach House - Game Room & Hot Tub
We had a wonderful stay at Theresa’s place. Great location and very well maintained. We’d love to stay there again.

Beautiful La Selva Beach
Julia’s house was perfect. Very clean, well decorated, but not cluttered. It has everything you could need for cooking. It is a very comfortable place to stay.

Beach Hill Hideaway - Beach Boardwalk, steps away
Fabulous place. Would highly recommend to everyone. Dominique provides everything you could need and is always on hand to answer questions. The place is gorgeous and perfectly located. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Santa Cruz!

Riverview Beach Bungalow
We had a wonderful stay at Terri's place in Capitola!! Beautiful home, in a fantastic location!! So much to do in walking distance, even for my elderly mother -- we can't wait to come back! Thank you Terri!!

Lovely Home in the Redwoods
A lovely little cabin in the rustic Lompico hills just outside of Felton. The open floor plan makes the cabin feel very roomy, and the bright interior, together with lots of natural light, makes the place feel very cheery and welcoming. The property sits on a half-acre of gently sloping land ringed by redwoods, it's gorgeous and peaceful. Our dog loved roaming, sniffing around and playing fetch with the tennis balls left by the host. Getting there is quite easy, just follow the host's directions...the narrow mountain road might seem a little daunting at first, but we got the hang of it quickly. About 5 minutes down the road is the Zayante general store for necessities and Felton proper is about 10 minutes away. Loch Lomond is also about 10 minutes away. Lompico is a beautiful area with a cool history (look it up!) and the perfect place to unwind. Thanks for having us!

Surf Loft just blocks from Pleasure Point!
Such a beautiful and clean home. Accommodating hosts. We enjoyed our stay.

Hottub, Firepit, Outdoor TV | Walk to Beach
We were impressed by how clean the house was. It was a great location to walk to some restaurants and the coast. We parked one van street side and one van in the driveway as it was really tight to get out of the car on one area of the drive. There were chairs, bikes, and beach towels available. We didn’t get a chance to use the hot tub or fire pit. Wish we had more time there. We had one issue but Veronica was quick to reply and resolve it. We would stay again!

Oceanfront Retreat with epic sunsets steps to sand
Thank you for sharing this beautiful and peaceful space with us. Everything felt clean and welcoming. We absolutely loved the view and the easy access right to the beach.

New Build, Full Kitchen, King Bed,AC, Washer/Dryer
We were amazed at how peaceful and retreat-like Chris's place was... the full panel of windows looking out onto magnificent redwoods (pretty sure) was a delight. The neighborhood was quiet, super easy to park in front, easy access with coded entry. Fancy shower with 3 choices (rain, hand held etc), controls for temp in each room so me and my hubby could at times be at our very different temp preferences. My husband's favorite part was going out on the deck with his morning coffee, facing a forested canyon, and having time to write and think. One other important note... although we felt "away and peaceful", we were MUCH closer to everything than we thought. Just 10 min to beach, 15 to downtown or UCSC campus, and 20-25 to Henry Cowell State Redwoods. It is an ideal location, and a really great price, considering you would pay the same for a nicer hotel, without the lovely view, private deck, kitchen, etc. We will be back! ps, Chris was very responsive to my questions too!

7 Pelican Point Oceanfront Views & Beach Access!
Megan’s home is an absolute gem. Do not hesitate to book this accommodation. You will be delighted you did. The views, in particular are second to none!

Seacliff House - just steps from Seacliff Beach!
The location of John's place was awesome - was able to walk to the beach, get ice cream, and coffee in the morning. Right next to the freeway, so it was super quick and easy to travel to other places nearby, like Santa Cruz.
