Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Aptos

Sara’s place was strategically situated for all our needs! Walk to beach, dog friendly, walk to town, and an easy drive to anywhere you want to go in the central coast! Beautiful gardens! Pleasant stay! Had all we needed for a weeks stay!

We were so pleasantly surprised by how adorable the town of Felton was! Kathleen's home was so close to the quaint downtown and also a short drive to the heart of Santa Cruz. We loved being surrounded by the gorgeous redwoods and so close to the State park. The home was plenty spacious for a family of four and provided all the basic necessities. We slept very comfortably and enjoyed our complimentary coffee on the back deck.

We’ve stayed at this oceanfront home three times now, and every visit has been absolutely perfect. The views of the water are stunning—whether you’re sipping coffee in the morning or watching the sunset, it never gets old. The beach is just steps away, which makes everything so easy, especially with kids. The outdoor shower is an absolute plus for rinsing off the kids after a beach day! The home itself is always spotless and really well cared for. It’s super quiet and peaceful, which makes it a great place to relax. It’s kid-friendly, which we appreciate as a family. There are toys and beach supplies provided. This place truly feels like a home away from home for us—we can’t wait to come back again!

I always choose to stay at Emrehans when I need a place near San Jose. Very beautiful, clean home/yard, great location. Emrehan communicates well and has been very accommodating to me. Very good price for the stay. Would recommend.

We have stayed at many Airbnb’s and this is now one of our favorite. So clean and neat! Not a lot of clutter so there was plenty of space for our things. Vic and Leanne obviously take great pride in their property and accommodating their guests. Everything you could want was waiting for us, including coffee and creamers. Much appreciated! And we never realized what a luxury heated bathroom floors were! You cannot go wrong choosing this property. Highly recommended!

First off the photos don’t do this house justice. The spaces, including that wonderful balcony, are bigger than you think. We had 7 adults, a toddler & an infant and we didn’t feel cramped at all. The beds, linens and pillows were so comfy, the multitude of windows to let the ocean air breeze come through, along with fans in the bedrooms, were perfect. The kitchen was the most well equipped I’ve used in an Airbnb before. The wagon, chairs and beach towels were also so nice to have for the short one block walk to Black Beach (one of my favorites in Santa Cruz). Oh and do not let the 1 full bathroom for everyone scare you off. Having the 2 half baths made it all work and we never had an issue. My family LOVED this place and wants to come back so very much. We have spent 26 years coming to Santa Cruz almost annually and this was our best residential experience yet. Thank you to Kim and her Rental Mgr, Nancy, for taking care of us and communicating so well. This family highly recommends!

This location is amazing. Right next to beautiful Seacliff beach. I had a great time, and would definitely consider coming back.

This is a beautiful property conveniently located in Felton; Scott’s Valley is very close-by. It was a quick and easy get away for us from San Jose. Property is a top of a hill in the redwoods with plenty of sunshine. The huge wrap around deck on two sides of the house with outside table and a bbq grill is a plus. Large windows in the living and dining rooms look out to the same view while indoors. The space is bright and airy and great to hang out with family. Large windows in the master bedroom also has a view. The house is super clean with plush carpeting. It's very comfortable to just hang out. The master bathroom has a lot of space to move around. The only thing negative is road noise from the busy road below the hill. You are hearing noise from every passing truck and Harley echoing up. If you have to sleep with the windows open in the second bedroom (on warm nights, for example), then this would be a consideration if you are sensitive to noise like me.

We had a great time staying in the Treetop Heaven "treehouse"! My wife and I loved the mountain feel of the environment without the excursion into the actual mountains. Amenities, shops, and restaurants are just a mile away and the area has a small town, community feel. Hosts were very attentive and made sure we knew they were available if we needed anything. The accommodations were perfect for the two of us and my wife especially enjoyed our meals on the deck hidden up in the trees! A great place for a getaway!

We had such a great time!! The property was super clean. Jaime was very responsive. She had something we needed under an hour delivered to the front door! The area was cool, walkable & safe, lots of restaurants, ocean just a couple of blocks away, and lots of local artisan shops to visit. The property looked like the pictures and two big windows that brought the sunlight in was really nice , too. Very nice vibes here. We will be back!

This is a clean and beautiful place to stay! Very baby friendly! We didn’t realize that there is another unit above the Airbnb - you can hear footsteps occasionally.

Such a lovely and peaceful retreat. Steps to the beach. Howard was excellent with communication. Highly recommended

Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay. Well equipped kitchen and it was fun to spend some time enjoying the view.

Maria Elena's studio apartment is perfect for two people. It is roomy and completely updated. The king size bed is comfortable and the mini-split heat/air conditioner is perfect for the changes in weather in San Jose. The neighborhood is peaceful, safe and walkable to a local grocery, coffee and restaurants. I recommend Maria Elena's apartment and will stay there again on my next trip to San Jose.

Had a great experience since no pets are allowed. We have allergies so this worked out for us wonderfully. The location was central, which made it easy to get around Santa Cruz and surrounding areas. Despite being central, the neighborhood and home was nice and quiet. The kitchen was well equipped, even though we only used it for breakfast since we were out most of the time. Place was super clean.

Barnaby‘s place was the perfect getaway for us to celebrate our anniversary. Proximity and walk ability to everything in addition to a very clean comfortable and well appointed spot. Great communication with Barnaby with quick responses. This would be a great rental in conjunction with the office next door for a big group.

My family and I had an amazing stay at this Airbnb! The place was clean and well-maintained, which made it feel welcoming and comfortable. The view was absolutely stunning and added a special touch to the experience. On top of that, the host was outstanding—extremely responsive and genuinely committed to ensuring a great stay. They went above and beyond to accommodate any needs, which made everything seamless. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again!

The home was clean and very spacious. I was concerned about the cold weather but the house was so cozy. The pool was so close to us and very clean. The hot tub was wonderful. I loved that the home was so close to the water and we could hear the waves crashing. Everything about the home was amazing.

A minor issue with our original reservation was quickly resolved by the PowerWest Team. They responded immediately and went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of and had a perfect trip. The unit is a beautiful, well equipped condo with spectacular ocean front views. We will definitely visit again and stay with PowerWest.

We've been coming to Seascape for over 20 years now and this was one of the better locations for our family. It had grass access and beautiful ocean views. The kids loved the little seating area. Overall the location and space was everything we needed and more.

Beautiful views! Our family enjoyed our stay and the main floor layout was perfect for our extended family's get together. The pool table, foosball table and games were loved by adults and kids alike. A few family members did get car sick on the way to the house though (not the fault of the house or host by any means), so just be aware that it is a windy road to get up there.

It was very comfortable and felt like home.... My host was very accommodating.....I would definitely go back again

Everything was perfect! This place was like a second home which offered everything we needed and more. We felt welcomed and immediately comfortable here. Our host Jane was responsive and kind. We will definitely come back!

This Hacienda was located on top of the Santa Cruz Mountains and was so majestic, peaceful and breathtaking. The house is welcoming and beautifully decorated. The view was incredible, watching the clouds and marine layer blanket over the trees. Each bedroom had comfy beds. Kitchen stock well with everything you need. Bathrooms clean. Heated floors were a nice touch. Sitting outside on various patio levels was magical. Felt like I was at retreat. Lisa was quick to respond. Our family loved staying here and getting away from city noise and hustle bustle. Thank you Lisa and Chris for sharing your home. This place is a real gem.
