Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Santa Cruz

We had a really great stay here! Place was as advertised in a really perfect location close to downtown and the pier. Recommend to anyone staying in Santa Cruz

Sara's home was lovely and comfortable. Her gardens on the side of the house and outside a bedroom in front, were tranquil, colorful, magical places. I daydreamed about how she must have planted in stages over the years, planning blooms for the different seasons and assisted by her obvious green thumb. The kitchen was well equipped, and the home had everything we needed. Sara was very welcoming, leaving us a beautiful flower arrangement, and a water bowl and squeaking and crinkling toy for our dogs.

A beautiful and relaxing space. I loved staying here and hope to return soon. The home is gorgeous and comfortable. Perfect.

Great place for weekend getaway with friends! Multiple spaces can be used for different activities, breakfast nook for eating, upstairs for board games, and outside for hanging out in the evening and using the hot tub. Super close to a beach as well as a few restaurants. Place was clean and had everything that we needed! Host was super responsive and proactive. Would come back!

Sarah's place was perfect for our family gathering! It was comfortable for 7 and the location was awesome. Only a couple blocks from the beach! The view was nice and we enjoyed eating outside on the pation. Great stay.

Amy’s incredible home was beautiful for the weekend. It was clean, the views are absolutely wonderful: faces the ocean and has a gorgeous viewpoint right outside. I felt right at home, and she was extremely helpful, communicative and responsive anytime I had a question! Would absolutely stay here again and recommend to anybody else. Amy is an amazing host and the home was unforgettable! Thank you!

This was the perfect home for our group of 6 who came into town for the UCSC graduation. The location is perfect, close to everything good, and the beds were super comfy. We would definitely stay again!

We live down in Santa Cruz and wanted to treat ourselves to a poolside weekend in the mountains (and this place did not disappoint!!). Would certainly stay again and appreciate how communicative the hosts were. As we get into summer we should have known better and brought our citronella candles because the mosquitos were out with a vengeance and forced us inside- so we recommend prepping for bugs if you want to stay poolside for sunset.

Stayed with my husband and parents here for our wedding week that was happening in the area. The place was plenty spacious for 4 people! Much better than a hotel room would’ve been. Gave us quality time cooking in the kitchen and hanging out in the living room, enjoying the hottub & heated pool and the beach! The ocean view from the dining table and the front porch is STUNNING!! The place is nice, well kept, and has everything you need! Any small things that popped up, Patti was helpful and fixed right away! Would definitely stay here again!!

Everything was great! The unit had everything you could possibly need for a trip (stocked bathroom, stocked kitchen, tons of extra towels and blankets). The neighborhood was also very quiet, which was great because we're light sleepers. I would definitely recommend this spot and would stay again.

A recent stay at Robert’s home in Ben Lomond was exceptional. The property felt like home from the pictures on the wall to the books in the bookcase. The fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and toiletries was like walking into our personal family vacation home with everything clean and organized. Upon our arrival, we contacted the owner to let them know we arrived. We enjoyed a welcoming orientation of the property. The location was ideal with convenient access to stores and restaurants. We could not have selected a better place to enjoy quality family time and celebrate a graduation from UC Santa Cruz. This was a super stay and gets our highest recommendation.

Linda and Bob are wonderful hosts. We love their beautiful studio. The location is an amazing and we felt very safe and secure. Their property is a beautiful vineyard and the pool is right outside the studio. Lots of walkable paths, and our dogs Loved it. We will be back!

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.

Loved staying here with my small pup, Klay. He had the private patio to himself and we both enjoyed the spacious cantina. It was a great and affordable landing spot for us both to explore Monterey, Carmel, and Big Sur!!

The house was awesome, having everything we needed, plus some nice extra touches like pool toys and snacks for a movie night. The only downside was that they had instructions to not turn the ac down past 72 and it was a very hot weekend, the house held onto a lot of heat and the bedrooms were very warm. The pool and spa were great, and we loved hanging out in the outdoor space.

I enjoyed a wonderful weekend with my family to start our summer! This home was exactly what we needed for a relaxing staycation! Will definitely rent this home again soon!

Easy checkin, comfortable bed, and amazing views. Couldn’t have asked for more!

Stayed here for a weekend to attend a wedding. Devora was very helpful and friendly and made sure my stay was comfortable and seamless. The neighborhood is absolutely gorgeous and I found lots of things to do in the area. The space had everything I needed, couldn’t have asked for better hosts! 100% would come return.

Very thankful for this quaint experience! The kids loved the toys and the very kind neighbor helped make sure we had chargers for all the electric toys.

Absolutely amazing location. Peaceful and beautiful. Great hiking nearby. Was perfect for our family. Chris is very responsive and helpful. Already thinking about another trip out here!

Diana’s place was beautiful- we loved the walk up to the penthouse surrounded by plants and the little porch where you could sit and enjoy the outdoors.

The Night & Day Cabin is a gem! From the moment we arrived, we felt immersed in nature while still enjoying the comfort of a beautifully designed space. The cabin is thoughtfully decorated with beautiful wood work all around making it so unique. The bed was incredibly comfortable also. One of the highlights was the outdoor space it’s perfect for relaxing with a morning coffee or stargazing at night. The location is also fantastic secluded enough to feel private, yet close to great spots like downtown and the beach. Kristin was wonderful and so quick to answer any and all questions! Highly recommend!

Was a great option for close proximity to the Google campus which is where we needed to be. Neighborhood seemed to be safe and walkable. It’s evident they are very involved with the beautiful landscaping and gardening on/around the property therefore notable tree pollen/allergens during the spring time. Overall a cute, cozy, and darling stay!

My wife and I recently stayed at HiC and Jeff’s charming unit. The thoughtful details made our stay special, with an incredibly comfortable bed for a great night's sleep. All the amenities, local recommendations, and small touches ensured a relaxing getaway. The beautiful outdoor areas among the redwood trees provided a peaceful retreat to unwind. HiC was welcoming and attentive, making our stay exceptional. We would definitely return to this lovely unit and recommend it for anyone seeking a serene escape in nature!
