Condo holiday rentals in Santa Cruz County

Lovely condo and great host! Enjoyed the updated bathrooms, kitchen, and cute decor. Loved the views. Complex was full- some couples and some families with kiddos. It could get a bit noisy at times. (Mostly when kids were outside playing) We travel with ear plugs so it wasn’t really a problem. Beds were on the firm side. We would enjoy staying here again!

Loved our stay. The room ended up being a one bedroom suite which was amazing and so spacious. The view was amazing and the property was beautiful. I wish we dedicated a full day to stay on the resort to make the most out of the cost. Would stay here again!

This was our second time staying in the mermaid’s perch. We love it so much I hope we will be able to stay again! The place had everything we needed, so comfortable and welcoming and amazing view of the beach.

This was our third time at Shorebirds but first time in this unit. It was a great decision to try this place. We always come for the peaceful atmosphere and easy beach access. It was a great bonus to stay in a condo that felt freshly updated but cost less than our prior rental. This condo is managed by the resort so it felt like checking into a hotel. I liked the experience and all logistics were easy. Check out was an hour later than usual, 12pm, which was a nice bonus. Another perk and I think a personal touch from the owner was a selection of wine in the unit. I had to ask about it and was told that one bottle was complimentary with our stay. Wine bottles were from various wine producing countries/regions of the world including Chile, Argentina, South Africa, Spain, Italy, France, California. This touch was very unique and much appreciated. The unit itself is very comfortable, including the pull out couch in the living room. Bathroom has a bidet! We will undoubtedly come back.

David’s place was absolutely perfect. The views are amazing, the place is beautiful and well equipped, the walk to the beach is so pretty, hanging out at the beach was so fun, and everything about the seascape area was adorable. We came up to celebrate our son’s graduation and staying at David’s place was like icing on the cake. Our stay couldn’t have been better.

Nice and clean airbnb. It was an amazing stay by the beach. Highly recommend.

The condo with perfect for us. Everything was as described, very clean, great location, clear instructions, easy parking. Many miles of beautiful beach for walking. We enjoyed the view while dining on the balcony. Sue was very easy to communicate with and went out of her way to mail a left behind item to me. Thank you Sue!

We really enjoyed our time here! The property was much better and larger than I expected. We booked a last minute trip to the area. The location felt not too far away from Santa Cruz proper but far enough away to feel quiet and relaxing. The staff were all very kind and helpful. Nice walking path and beautiful views. Our room was nice and clean. We very much enjoyed our stay!

This was an ideal place for me as it was a close, scenic drive to where I was participating in a 3 day dog sports event. The home was quiet, clean, inviting, had all the amenities and a very comfortable bed. I loved having the private outside patio. I especially enjoyed being welcomed by Gary and Irene who were a most delightful couple and gracious hosts.

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.

Very comfortable stay

We had a great stay at Mayela’s place! Communication was smooth and helpful she provided clear instructions and useful information before our arrival. The home was clean, comfortable. Parking instructions were very helpful as well. Overall, a great experience.

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!

Kristina’s place was absolutely beautiful and exactly as pictured. Breath taking ocean views and a short 5 minutes down to the beach. Kristina was very friendly checking in with us to make sure our trip was going good and if we needed anything. Would definitely stay here again !!! Great host great place and beautiful city !!

This was a fantastic place to stay!! The only odd aspect was an 8:00 pm curfew. Otherwise, it was very clean, well managed and comfortable. The view is amazing and the walk to the beach is 💯

Our favorite part was the walk to the expansive beach. The resort is very nice, and the condo was great.

We had a fantastic stay at David’s place! The home was clean, comfortable, and just a short walk to the beach—perfect for a relaxing getaway. The location was ideal, and everything was exactly as described. David was a responsive and helpful host, making check-in and communication seamless. One of the best parts was how well-stocked the Airbnb was for a beach day—it included a sand wagon, ice chest bag, umbrella, shade tent, and other beach essentials, which made everything super convenient. We really appreciated those thoughtful touches and look forward to visiting again!

We had a wonderful short getaway at Sue’s place! The condo is just steps from the beach, pool, and jacuzzi. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves was relaxing, and the ocean breeze was very refreshing. It was exactly what we needed to reset and recharge. Everything was just as described, and we would stay here again! Thank you, Sue!

This place was perfect! Views as promised!! Clean, smartly decorated, special touches like a makeup mirror, toilet area separate from the sink, shower, comfortable bed and soft linens, throw blankets for comfort, 2 huge TVs , Nice restaurants within walking distance, pool, beach, trails, observation platform…. We totally loved it here! Would highly recommend and would go again if the opportunity arises. Unfortunately we had to leave early…. I’m still sad about that! But no fault of theirs! Owners were very responsive, helpful and positive.

Travis place was sooo beautiful soo perfect for my weekend getaway. I would totally recommend. Only thing is it would be nice to be able to have a option for early check in even if you pay a little extra
