Safe, Steps To Beach, Spa, Near Harbor, Pets Okay!

KristinRating, 5 stars1 week ago
The place was very cute and clean, was stocked with all the items you would need, and was in a quiet area that was walkable to multiple beaches. On my morning walk on Sunday I came across an amazing farmers market where I bought delicious pastries and coffee. I loved this place!! The host was super responsive and helpful. Would definitely come back to stay again.

Sunny, Spacious, and Modern Home Near The Beach

YurenaRating, 5 stars5 months ago
Two families with 2 littles kids each (3-8yo) stayed there and it was perfect for us. The house is very spacious, perfect for the 8 of us. Nearby Boardwalk and other fun locations to enjoy with the kids. We picked some tomatoes and a couple of asian pears for breakfast and they were delicious. The kitchen is very well provisioned with lots of utensils and condiments that made our meals much better. Thank you Sun and family! I was a little bit scared with the almost 3 years old when I read some reviews, but he did great. He was interested in some National Geographic books in the living room and I hope we put them back in the right place :) looking forward to come back in the future.

Sea Otter Cottage in Santa Cruz!

AllisonRating, 5 stars1 day ago
Our family of four, loved Shari’s place and we’d definitely stay again. It’s one of those good-vibes Airbnbs where you can tell a lot of love goes into the setup and maintenance. We loved the hot tub for relaxing together — under a beautiful magnolia tree — and my partner and I were able to take a couple work calls in privacy in the spotless studio. Also, everything just works … coffee works, all the TVs were easy to use, and it was easy to get in and out. Thank you for a great stay Shari!

Sunny Cottage + Hot Tub near UCSC

CeciliaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We stayed at Erin’s Airbnb while visiting our son. Her place is clean and comfortable and the skylights are an extra plus. There are two outdoor spaces where we’d eat meals and enjoy morning coffee and afternoon reading. Her place is so convenient to visit UCSC and is not far from anything in town - grocery stores and downtown. I appreciated the clear and responsive communication and, tho we didn’t need it because of the time of our flight, Erin offered flexibility in our checkout time. We will be returning to Santa Cruz and when we do I’m hoping Erin’s place will be available to stay in again! We had a wonderful stay!

4 bed HotTub Firepit blks to beach Best Location!

WendyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We really enjoyed staying at Geoff's place. Worked wonderfully for a gathering of family and friends for a Memorial Service in the area. We enjoyed the layout of the house as well as spending time in the yard around the Firepit and Hot tub. Also loved walking to Natural Bridges. Thank you Sue (co-host) and Geoff for providing a comfortable and relaxing place with so many helpful amenities to gather for an important weekend.

Best Beach House Santa Cruz-Opal Cliff Beach House

KellyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Our stay couldn’t have been better. The house was awesome, with great views and a private garden like backyard and great front and back decks. Kitchen had everything we needed and the house was a very short walk to literally everything. On our street about a half block away you could walk to a private beach, or walk slightly further (half mile max) to the larger beach. Around the corner was a ton of shops and restaurants which meant that during our stay we hardly drove anywhere. Would absolutely stay here again.

cute cottage walking distance to beach

BruceRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
one of the best accommodations and hosts we have experienced. The house was perfect: clean and nicely furnished with a well equipped kitchen. Definitely fulfilled all of our needs. Close to the beach and well situated for exploring the area (don't miss nearby Mt Madonna County Park for walking, hiking and/or running). Will definitely return

The Coach House

PaigeRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Really enjoyed our stay at the Coach House! If you’re looking for somewhere peaceful and out of the ordinary for a weekend getaway- this is the place. Toni had clear and thoughtful instructions, both on the app and inside the cabin. I’d recommend checking in during the daytime if it’s your first time on highway 17. Thankfully it wasn’t our first rodeo and we were able to find the place at night without too much trouble. There’s a lot to explore around the property, including horses, goats, wild deer, etc. I’d recommend to anyone that wanted to stay near the Santa Cruz/Los Gators area! :)

La Selva Beach Guest Suite, pet friendly

HeatherRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Ms. Jane was a great host. The space was a perfect size and had a personal entrance for guest. Also Ms. Jane communicated with and responded with in the hour of our message. The location was ideal for us. We had easy access to Santa Cuz, San Fran, Monterey and Big Sur. We would recommend our own family and friends.

Flat Stroll to the Beach / Private Patio

This is a great little studio that is close to the beach (a 5 min walk) and I will definitely be coming back soon! It’s a small studio with a cute little patio. The neighborhood is quiet and you are close to town.

Gorgeous Bungalow 3 blocks to beach

VeraRating, 5 stars1 week ago
It was a nice stay! It felt like home. The neighbourhood is very quiet and at the same time, it is in a walkable distance to the ocean (~6 min). 5 bikes were a very nice addition to our activities!

Ocean View, 5min flat walk to Beach, Pet Friendly

ShirpaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We were 2 adults with 2 teens and a dog. Loved that this home was pet friendly. The house had everything we needed, really loved all the space and light upstairs and view of ocean and sitting on the balcony having our morning coffee and lunch and just chilling and taking in all the beach and nature vibes. House is just as pictured. Really appreciated having 3 full bathrooms for all our family too.

Seascape Resort Villa Beautiful Ocean View Sleep 6

TheresiaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
This was the cleanest AirBnB we've ever stayed in! Pristine! Tidy! Stunning ocean views from both the living room & primary bedroom. The entire villa has been remodeled yet still has the Old World Charm and coziness. This Villa is located on the 2nd floor of North Bluff - is very private - has a pool jacuzzi just steps away. The resort offers many amenities, restaurant, bar, room service (or pick up) massage, sauna - endless. Aptos Village is right across the street - walking distance offering many shops, market and a great place for pizza and Italian food. We will definitely stay with Sue again - as soon as we can! Next time, we'll try her other property #33. Sue is a GREAT hostess in every area and has earned Super Host many times over!

Greenwood Guest House, a Peaceful Oasis

AdamRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Amy's place was wonderful - one of the few places we've ever stayed that was even better in person than in pictures. It was clean, spacious, and very comfortable for the 2 of us. The outdoor space was amazing, plenty of quiet spaces to lounge in the sun and walk around. The area was great as well, quiet but close to downtown, and Amy was a thoughtful and responsive host, we really appreciated her thoughtfulness. The one thing to note is that the Wi-fi could be unreliable - we both worked from the Airbnb, and made it work for the week, but something to note for future visitors. We'd definitely recommend this place and plan to come back next time we visit. Thank you Amy!

Monterey Bay Oasis on the Ocean!

KalliRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This place was nicer than the photos and absolutely perfect for a girls weekend. Everything was well equipped and labeled. The location was very quiet and peaceful with great access to a quiet beach. You definitely need a car as it's a little isolated but that added to the charm.

Beach Front Villa and Seascape Resort

KateRating, 5 stars8 months ago
Staying at Seascape was the perfect kid-friendly vacation. The pool was easy to access from our condo and the views were beautiful. The condo's set-up with two bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs and a half bath downstairs was great for our family of 5. The private beach was beautiful - we saw otters, whales, and my son found two perfect sand dollars walking down the beach. It was a little bit of a trek to get down to the beach with three little kids and all the beach gear, but once we were there no one wanted to leave. Several near-by restaurants were delicious, especially the newly opened Dos Pescados. It was fairly easy to get into Santa Cruz too, but we did have to time traffic or it would double the drive time (to almost 45 minutes).

Stunning Views @ RDM BCH w/Attached Garage

LeisaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This condo was perfect for my getaway trip. Spacious, well-appointed, and the views from the balcony were beyond amazing! Although this was a solo trip, I could easily see staying here with others and not feel the least bit crowded. I was blessed with blue skies and warm temperatures. Perfect weather for al fresco dining on the balcony and exploring Aptos.
