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

CailinRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Celebrated my daughter’s birthday. Girls loved the loft and roof deck space for themselves. Perfect location with many walkable beach options. I especially loved the sunny plant filled window for reading and relaxing. Great location for teen kids to practice a little independence on the beach. While the house is a little older, the beach cottage vibe made it perfectly fun and relaxing. The host was great and flexible. I recommend this rental for a Santa Cruz beach holiday.

Sunny, Spacious, and Modern Home Near The Beach

YurenaRating, 5 stars4 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.

AmizettaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Wonderful house and host! We traveled to Monterey with our three children and my mother in law. House was comfortable for all of us. The backyard was such a lovely space. Hot tub was awesome. Location was close to downtown Monterey, warf, aquarium while also being in a quiet residential neighborhood. Also a short trip to Carmel. Host was very responsive. We would stay here again!

Pebble Beach Guest House

MatthewRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Pam’s home is gorgeous. We had the most amazing stay in this beautiful getaway in Monterey. It’s so close to the aquarium and other great places like the fish hopper, Alta cafe, and more. We used the hot tub, had fresh eggs, and woke up to a nice cozy fireplace in the morning. Pam and Kevin know so much about the area and are lovely wonderful knowledgeable hosts! Such a hidden gem!

Sunny Cottage + Hot Tub near UCSC

KailynnRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The place was very homey and comfortable. Everything was neatly maintained and the neighborhood was quiet and safe. The hot tub was very clean and hot. Mattresses are firm and heater does not reach bedrooms just an FYI. Erin gave clear instructions and has great response time. Very happy to have stayed here.

Best Beach House Santa Cruz-Opal Cliff Beach House

SaraRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Best beach vibe! The location is amazing, great walkable neighborhood, lots to do. The house was fantastic, with so many thoughtful details. Joyce is a pro. She was super responsive and gave us great recommendations that made the stay perfect. My young kids (Age 9 and 6) loved the place - especially the downstairs living room and hot tub. Will stay here again!

A beautiful stay in La Selva! I love this area, it's peaceful & quiet. The guesthouse was clean, lovely & spacious. Everything was great & true to description. 10 min walking distance from the beach was amazing! It was my first time booking a guesthouse and it did not disappoint. Angela was a really thoughtful and friendly host! Would love to stay here again next time I visit the bay!

Perfect location, large, and super clean!

RosemaryRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This house was such a cozy and comfortable place to spend a few days with family in Carmel. It was so well organized and very clean. Great kitchen to cook in. The neighborhood was great and a lovely walk into town. The outdoor space was very nice to have in between the rain. We would definitely return.

Gorgeous Bungalow 3 blocks to beach

GillianRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Jeremy’s place was great for a weekend getaway with a few friends! The location was great, plenty of parking and space to spread out inside the house and in the backyard. The koi pond was lovely and relaxing, I felt like I was at a spa! Jeremy was very responsive and answered our questions ahead of time. The kitchen had everything you need to cook, with oil and spices available. We walked to Verve coffee multiple times and it was easy to get to Capitola and Santa Cruz. It was a comfortable spot and a lovely stay!

28 Seconds Walk to Beach

SeanRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Lisa’s home Was Everything and more. Super clean and comfortable. We (5) stayed (3) nights over Christmas and the home was comfortable and very clean. Beds were great with plenty of extra blankets. The kitchen was extremely well stocked for cooking any meal. The beach is just steps away from the, and the views of the beach and surf from the house are amazing! There was hardly a soul on the beach while we were there and we walked for miles enjoying the birds, seals and seashore. We even got front row seats from the home of some great surfers who were being towed-out the amazing waves! This is a special place and we hope to return here. This development is gated and has a very remote feel, yet you’re only 20 mins to Monterey and Carmel.

Central Coast; Meadow, Hot Tub, Polite Pets Welcom

M.K.Rating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had a great stay at Lolly's place. The kids loved playing and exploring the private meadow and surrounding outdoors while we BBQ'd on the spacious dock. I went on a hike on the nearby trail with amazing views of the mountains. The house, kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms were all very clean and equipped with everything we needed and more. I would highly recommend Lolly's place!

Seascape Resort Villa Beautiful Ocean View Sleep 6

TheresiaRating, 5 stars2 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 stars1 month 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!

VivianRating, 5 stars3 months ago
What a great find in an out of the way place. Would love to come in summer but honestly, it was great cool weather to enjoy the house and view of the ocean. Saw seals and dolphins and birds, barely any humans! Best find was Pezzini Farms right outside the colony. Go there for good food!

Seascape Escape! Now Featuring Private Pool/Spa

NicolaRating, 5 stars4 months ago
Gorgeous apartment, like staying in a 5* spa hotel, only better! This was our little relaxing treat at the end of our California road trip and it was beyond our expectations. Very comfortable, beautifully styled and appointed apartment with a wonderful view of the Ocean from the roof terrace - perfect place to watch sunset with a glass of wine and to watch sunrise with our morning cuppa (we did both of course!) and with a lap pool and hot tub for our private use. Host always on hand to help if needed. Lovely hospitality basket provided. Highly recommended

Beach Front Villa and Seascape Resort

KateRating, 5 stars7 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).
