Jaw-Dropping Beach-Front Retreat!
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (64)
"From the moment we stepped inside this cozy beach front home, we were captivated by the breathtaking view of the beach and ocean. As we ventured upstairs, the view only became more spectacular. It was the perfect setting for our family of 10, providing ample space and all the amenities we could ask for. The location is only a short walk to the deli, restaurants and coffee shop which was nice. But what truly made our stay unforgettable were the moments we spent on the back patio. We were...

Vibrant home with breathtaking views & convenient location
8.6 out of 10, Excellent, (116)
"The place was absolutely adorable! It had a great view of the boardwalk and is walking distance to the beach. The showers there have amazing pressure! We loved that there were beach towels available and toys to play in the sand and make sand castles! Thank you for letting us rent your home for our first time in Cali! The only complaints and things to worry about are: The stairs are horrendous if you have bad knees (which we expected, but just as a warning to others) and the master bed isn’t...

Short Walk to Seacliff
9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (27)
"The home is in a nice location with easy access to most things. The furnishings were nice and the beds comfortable. The home itself could have been better cleaned. Additionally, there was no bar soap, shampoo or coffee. Upon rereading the listing, I realized they were not listed in the amenities, so that’s on me. I’ve just never stayed where these (at least soap & shampoo) wasn’t provided. One last mention is if you are getting to the house by gps be sure to note if it is street or road. We...

COLORFUL HISTORIC VENETIAN COURT #8 ON CAPITOLA BEACH
9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (68)
"You can't beat the location. The house was clean and exactly as advertised. The staircase is pretty steep so maybe not the best place for toddlers. But this place is great for adults and for families with kids that have already mastered the art of walking (or haven't started yet)."

A Fabulous beach home for extended family and multi-families gatherings!
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (14)
"This house worked out perfect. The main bedroom is dialed, the room with the trundle bed was convenient for my 2 daughters and I, plus the detached casita worked out well for my friend to have his own space. Location is the best part. Walk to the beach, restaurants, etc. I'm originally from Aptos so being right close to all the amenities was the goal and this house checked that box. Thanks again."

Hear the ocean from this historic cottage. Almost beachfront.
9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (210)
"We three adults stayed here for 2 nights. It was charming and in a good location. Having the bathroom attached to the bedroom was ok for us but not great. The sofa bed in the living room was broken. I managed ok on it but a large person and certainly 2 would not. It's a sweet place for up to 3-4 people if they share a bed--definitely cozy--(great shower!)"

Zen Redwood Santa Cruz Retreat
9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (7)
"Lovely mountain home in the redwoods. It was very well kept, clean, quiet and in a beautiful location. The feather bed was very comfortable and soft and I had one of the best nights of sleep I've had in ages. The only drawbacks were things around shared spaces and a lack of clear places to go outside. I was anxious about causing any trouble for the host family, but they were always very kind and courteous when I did see anyone. Overall this was still one of the most lovely places I've been...

"The home is well appointed, comfortable and has all the amenities you'd need. It is immaculately clean. Parking is easy and it's very quiet and serene. There is a detached small studio unit on the property behind the main house. The neighborhood is very convenient and walkable to a small grocery, Deke's, next block over and restaurants.
