Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Santa Cruz

We had a wonderful stay in Pacifica! The home was exactly as described—clean, quiet, and very comfortable. The location near the beach was perfect, with stunning cliffside views and the relaxing sound of the waves at night. It was such a peaceful getaway, and we truly wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommend!

Airy, comfortable and immaculate place. Watched surfers, seals, whales and birds everyday.

Great place and there are some toys that entertained my kid as well! Perfect experience.

Nice rental which met our needs and was very comfortable. We felt at home and had everything we needed. Brit and Alan were very helpful and responsive. Good private outdoor space. Beds were comfortable and kitchen well equipped. Great location both for Santa Cruz (all within walkable distance) and for longer trips to Monterey bay by car and beyond. Nice having the bikes. Would definitely recommend.

We had an amazing stay at Lisa's place. It is in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood with easy access to downtown, beaches and hiking. They have done a beautiful job with the space. It feels like a boutique hotel. They have thought of everything! There were snacks, wine, coffee, travel size toiletries and even fresh flowers! Lisa is a generous and welcoming host and we would stay at their retreat again in a heartbeat.

We had a wonderful time! Dog and kid friendly. Definitely recommend!

Perfect spot for our family during UCSC graduate weekend. Just two blocks to the beautiful coastal pedestrian path made for lovely morning and evening strolls. Plenty of comfortable seating for everyone to relax and enjoy meals together. Hot tub was clean and hot and the patio is private. Host was responsive and kind. Would do it again!

We really love this charming beach house in lovely Capitola! Spotlessly clean and thoughtfully decorated, it has a large, well equipped kitchen with newer appliances and a dining table in a sunny nook; comfy, pretty living room with lots of seating and a cozy gas fireplace for chilling ocean-side nights; and two spacious bedrooms with lots of storage for your clothing and comfortable beds. Out back is a lovely yard with more seating, so nice to enjoy a coffee and pastry from the local cafe surrounded by flowers and citrus trees. In the garage are 4 beach cruiser style bikes and helmets, a ping pong table, and all sorts of supplies for the beach. The neighborhood is great, with a small beach just a block away, and a cute main street with several restaurants, a cafe, and an ice cream shop. An easy bike ride to Capitola Village & easy drive to SC Beach Boardwalk. Really thoughtfully appointed - you can tell that everything has been carefully done with an eye to meeting your needs.

Stayed at Oriel’s place during a recent trip to Palo Alto and couldn’t have asked for a better spot. The space looks just like the photos, everything feels fresh and nicely upgraded, with thoughtful touches throughout. There’s even a small patio that was perfect for enjoying my morning coffee. It’s in a great location too, just a short drive to Stanford and close enough to everything without feeling too busy. Oriel was super communicative, especially when some construction started next door. He went out of his way to have them hold off while I finished an important video call, which I really appreciated. All in all, it was a great stay. Loved the space, loved the hospitality, and I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town. Visiting from North Carolina

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!

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

Great stay at Fidel’s place for our trip to Monterey and Big Sur. The unit was as described and matched the pictures on the posting . Check in was easy and the dedicated parking spot was a huge plus. Very clean. The unit was a very close drive to Montereys main attractions. Had no issues or complaints, wonderful stay. Would stay here again

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.

Matthew donates part of the rental proceeds to charity, renter gets to choose the charity. also great location, 100 yds from the sea front

We had a great stay feeling very comfortable in clean and tidy surroundings. The hosts were very accommodating to us asking for a late checkout, which really helped us out. I would highly recommend the apartment to others.

Great location, apartment, and easy check in and out. Would 100% stay again! Very cute places to eat / shop / beach close by!

Tranquility Base…surely lived up to its name. So comfortable, so charming we felt like a part of the forest. The whole place had so much personality we felt right at home Magical and enchanting getaway Highly recommended We’ll be back

Very nice place, very comfortable and had everything we needed. Host was very nice, quick to respond and took care of everything we needed. Very beautiful area surrounded by redwoods and very private. Would definitely stay again.

This is a charming cottage in a beautiful location. You can go back and forth to Santa Cruz (30-35 minutes) but we also enjoyed Boulder Creek and Ben Lomond. Tao’s Edo Sushi right in Boulder Creek was a great discovery. Cottage is just as pictured and everything was clean and comfortable.

Great place to stay with dogs, friends and family, Loved the creek and fire pit under the redwoods!

This was a wonderful stay! The home felt cozy and warm, and extremely private too. The hot tub was super easy to utilize and the bathroom was amazing as well. Super beautiful in the evening with the string lights hung up and the record player available. Had such a wonderful stay and would love to come back again if I am in the area!

Jon and Amanda were amazing host and super friendly. They responded really quick and were very helpful from the time we arrived until we left. Loved the scenery from the windows, the view from the patio, the lights at night look amazing, the fire place felt really cozy. Would definitely want to get that experience again at the Fuselage!

As our first stay ever in an airbnb, this was the best place for a get away ❤️ Surrounded by nature in a beautiful home. All as pictured and described. We will definitely come back and recommend to friends and family.

We had such a lovely stay at this cozy cabin in the woods! It was the perfect peaceful getaway for our family—my partner, our son, my mom, and our dog all felt right at home. The space is beautifully designed, both stylish and functional, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The layout made great use of the space, and it was clear that a lot of thought and care went into creating a welcoming environment. We especially appreciated the little touches, like hooks everywhere and a well stocked kitchen that made it feel extra special.
