Apartment with an ocean view
I felt right at home. It was nice to get away for my daughter’s graduation from UCSC. The drive to the graduation wasn’t bad at all. I loved being near the water and was able to walk to the cliff side for a beautiful sunset view. I’ll definitely stay here again.

Pink Venetian (Upper Unit)
Beautiful place right on the beach. Fully remodeled unit and very clean. Fully stocked kitchen. Our family had a great time staying at this unit. Already planning to come back in couple of months.

Capitola Sanctuary
Location, location, location!! Right across the street from the beach with a beach view out the bedroom window. Lots to do in walking distance. We loved our stay in Capitola!

❤ of Capitola Village with Private Yard + Parking
We loved our weekend at Jamie's amazing apartment in Capitola! It was so easy to walk to the beach and we loved hanging out in the beautiful backyard with our little one. Perfect spot for our little family's getaway to the beach!

New 1-Bedroom apartment in Beautiful Santa Cruz
The place was perfect. The apartment was super cozy and clean. The location was close to lots of things specially the beach in Santa Cruz. The apartment was well-equipped with everything you need. I definitely recommend this place.

Couple's Cozy Country Getaway
We had a great time staying here. We had some trouble getting in the gate because even though Maria messaged me what the gate code was I kept thinking and looking back at their old gate code in the listing. Luckily we got it sorted out but it was a lil confusing at first. We also weren’t quite sure which way was ok to drive to the place. Like drive behind their house or cut right in front of their house to get to the place, there weren’t any instructions so we did both lol. We were also a lil bummed that there was no outside seating like shown in the pictures. We drove around their house a couple times trynna make sure we were at the right building because we were looking for the outside furniture for us to know we were at the right place. Once again we figured it out. It was overall a beautiful surrounding at the house and so many flowers. We had a great time and would stay again. I would recommend Maria’s place for sure so peaceful and quiet it was very very nice. Thank you Maria

Cozy, peaceful Beach Getaway!
We had an amazing stay at Howard’s Place! Literally steps from the beach. Howard was very communicative and always responded if we reached out to him. The community is also amazing! We had an issue with the blinds not working and they came the next day and fixed them. They provide wheelbarrows for luggage and have a private pond. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks Howard!

Country Apartment
Super clean and spacious. Comfortable living room furniture and lots of greenery - inside and out. We enjoyed watching the chickens and the goats in the nearby pasture were a hoot!

Stylish space with ocean views
Very cozy and quiet with a “home” feeling. Will definitely up look this location again when we return to Monterey/Carmel.

Lake View Condo 2 Bed/ 2 Bath
If I’m staying in the area I would stay at this again. Loved the interior and enjoyed the balcony

Monterey Bay beach getaway 2BR
A wonderful place to stay! The kind of stay you want to keep secret it was so great. Beautiful ocean view and very close to Monterey. Krista was very helpful. Would absolutely stay again!

LTR close to everything Carmel Studio
Great place.

Stylish Studio with Queen Bed Near Beach& Downtown
The home was clean and quite cute. It was accessible and very easy to travel into Marina and Monterey.

Los Gatos hills, amazing view
We were in the middle of an eventful roadtrip (rollercoaster, tbh--including mechanical issues with our vehicle, resulting in a forced mid-trip swap)... so I was extremely relieved when we arrived at George's place and everything was as advertised. Very modern and clean, and I loved all of the custom lighting options (dimmers, fun bathroom nightlight, etc). I had contacted him beforehand, to let him know we had a large vehicle, and he got back to me asap to confirm that the parking space at his home would be spacious enough to accommodate it. And, the bed is so comfy! There are advertised Quiet Hours for this listing, and Yes, there were noises from the chickens/roosters outside, but animals don't tend to observe Quiet Hours. (I am sensitive to noise and always travel with earplugs, and could not hear anything with my earplugs in.) I heard a small dog barking somewhere else on the property, for several hours one evening, but the barking stopped just before quiet hours began.

Sea Breeze and Sunsets 230H
Our condo with Cheshire Rio was wonderful. The home was well decorated and good quality linens and towels. The kitchen was very well appointed. We cooked all of our food and the condo had good quality pots and pans and all needed utensils. I was impressed. The ocean view from the living room and balcony was perfect. This particular condo is one we would return to. Had beach towels, extra fans (we like to use while we sleep) and great outdoor sitting furniture. Very thankful to the condo owners and Cheshire Rio (property managers). Great job at making us feels at home and taken care of.

Cannery Row Bungalow
We had such a fun weekend getaway at Ann’s place! It was quaint and cozy—perfect for a relaxing stay. The location was ideal, right on Cannery Row and within walking distance to the aquarium and tons of great restaurants. Everything else was just a quick $8 Uber ride away, including breweries and other fun spots. Would absolutely stay here again!
Apartment rentals with a hot tub

Stairway to Treetop Heaven UPPER | 2bd | Hot Tub!
Matthew was incredibly responsive and accommodating. The space itself was very clean and in a peaceful location, with some great hiking trails nearby. We would definitely stay here again!

Country Cottage
Hi there. I made this booking for my boss. She said Angel's place was 10/10 :)

Deluxe Spa Suite-Ocean View-Allergy Friendly!
Beautiful resort and a fabulous room! It was very spacious and well stocked. A little pricey....but that's the economy - would absolutely book again in the future if possible

Resort Getaway In Seascape
We stay in the Santa Cruz area quite a bit as my kids go to camp nearby. I really enjoyed the Seascape Resort. Bailey's listing was perfect! It is MUCH quieter than Capitola and Santa Cruz, which is more my jam. The resort is landscaped beautifully and we enjoyed exploring! The beach is just a short walk. Side note: check out the grocery store in the village across the street. They make fantastic sandwiches which are perfect for a beach picnic!

Breathtaking Carmel Penthouse Suite w/ Brad Pitt!
Absolutely loved this location. Quiet and peaceful, with the most amazing view. The bathroom is huge with an amazing whirlpool tub. It was extremely clean and felt so private. Fantastic place to spend a romantic weekend. We were not asked to do any cleaning, and checkout was extremely fast and simple. I would love to come again, and would recommend it to anyone.

Luxury Villa - Flora View - Ground Level -Seascape
We had a wonderful stay this past weekend! The place was very clean a day modern. We loved all of the amenities they offered. it was the perfect place for our family of 4 to relax in such a beautiful space. Thank you! We will be back!

Seascape Beach Resort condo with ocean view
Probably the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in in terms of being a clean, well stocked place. So many little details done right. Charging docks on all the night stands. A “did you forget anything” toiletry basket in the restroom. The well equipped kitchen and selection of coffee from Keurig to Nespresso. A lot of care was put into this home and it’s well worth the asking price. As far as location, proximity to the beach, and views - that is all self explanatory. I had an amazing time, and will certainly book again.

Manresa Surf House studio upstairs unit#5
My husband and I had an awesome experience staying at the Manresa Beach House! Great location and great service. Would definitely come back again! Thank you again Monica and Mike! 😊🤙🏽
