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.

Oceanview Condo - StepstoBeach Surfboards\Bikes
Very good place, found quickly while on the road and couldn’t me any happier to arrive. The location was just as described and super thankful for the kitchen essentials. My partner said the bed was on the harder side but i found it just right so just maybe a preference. Thank u to the host for helping troubleshoot the lock but also thankful for their alternate solutions because technology isn’t always reliable.

We were just passing through on a roadtrip and stayed here for the night. This Texas girl was very surprised to find no AC in the place but I’ve been told there’s not much of a need for it in California and I understand why now! We slept comfortably. I think it’s important to note that this apartment is on the third floor and there’s no elevator but don’t let that keep you from booking the place! We will definitely be back!

Luxury Villa - Flora View - Ground Level -Seascape

Booked this unit very last minute and could not believe what a great value it was for the location and condition of the unit! Amazing views and located right in the heart of Capitola Village! Evan, Airbnb host, was extremely responsive and allowed us to check-in a bit early which was nice because parking in downtown Capitola isn't always easy- but this unit has multiple parking options which was a HUGE plus! The unit itself was clean and was equipped with all the basics for an overnight stay. I would highly recommend staying here if you are looking to getaway and want to be right across from the beach. The views from the unit were as described. Complex was quiet which allowed us to get a good night's rest. We will definitely be back! Thanks Evan!

Beachfront Condo with Ocean Deck
Nice modern place right on the beach! Appreciated having larger tv in the living room and lots of kitchen supplies to cook with. Staff were very responsive with my requests and it was a nice, quiet getaway.

Top Oceanfront 1BR Stunning View
We have stayed at many beach hotels and apartments and this may have been the best. Beautiful view of the beach, which is pretty quiet. And you can walk on the beach for a couple of hours in either direction. Also really enjoyed the location in Watsonville, which is the strawberry capital of the US. And nice to have Monterey and Santa Cruz nearby. Communicaiton with Pajaro Dunes was very good and helpful. Look forward to coming back.

Seascape Ocean Front Villa

Oceanfront Views - Steps to the Beach
My team had a wonderful time at Stefan's place! The ocean views are magical and the house is very spacious. Incredible spot about an hour away from SF and Palo Alto. Stefan was very communicative and friendly. Check-in and check-out were simple. Very clear house rules. No complaints at all! We will definitely be back.

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

Oceanfront Beach House overlooking the Boardwalk
This house is absolutely perfect for a family trip to Santa Cruz. it had everything we needed and the location is unbeatable! The only thing I would change is there not being a large enough table for everyone to sit down for meals. Other than that, brilliant.

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.

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!

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!

Beautiful Ocean View 2 BR-Seascape-Miles of Beach
Our family had an amazing stay at this place! My parents even came down to visit for a few hours and are already talking about wanting to book it next year. Would love to return next summer!

I had a wonderful stay! The place was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. The hosts were incredibly kind and responsive, making sure I had everything I needed for a comfortable visit. You can really tell they care about their guests and take pride in providing a great experience. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and well-managed place to stay. Thank you for everything!

One of a kind full River and Ocean view!
Wonderful condo nestled in the Pajaro Dunes Resort. We traveled with two elementary aged kids and they had a fantastic time. A great family getaway. We brought our own groceries and there was plenty of amenities in the kitchen for eating in every meal. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach and beautiful views from the inside as well. We appreciated having the beach chairs & tennis items. The resort recreation area was a lot of fun and we spent several hours there. Comfortable beds and upgraded furnishings. Overall, a fantastic experience and we can’t wait to return again someday.

Condo in Seascape Beach Resort
Our favorite part was the walk to the expansive beach. The resort is very nice, and the condo was great.

Beachfront Condo in Watsonville, California
We had a wonderful stay at this condo. It’s absolutely perfect and has everything you could possibly need. We were especially delighted to find chopsticks, which totally made our day since we were planning to have ramen and thought we’d have to use forks! The view from the condo is stunning, like something out of a movie, and it was such a treat to have easy access to the beach. Watching the sunset was one of the highlights of our trip. The host was very responsive and provided clear, helpful instructions for everything, from check-in and check-out to using the washer. The check-in process with the gate attendant was smooth and made us feel extra secure. Everything was super clean and thoughtfully prepared. We stayed at several Airbnbs along Route 1, and this one was undoubtedly the best. Highly recommend!

2B/2B Pajaro Dunes with Dunes and Ocean View
Everything was just as described - kitchen was well stocked and had the staples which I appreciated - plenty of coffee too! Beach location was wonderful - 5 out of 5!

Royal Villa - Ocean View - Heated Pools - Seascape
