Romantic Retreat with hot tub near the beach!
Such kind hosts and a cute place. A new mattress would have better for these old bones, even a blow up one, but I was a sweet spot! Thank you!!

Los Gatos/Cambrian COTTAGE-HOTTUB/ pvt.parking
I had a great time. I found the location easily when i followed the instructions! Michelle is very easy going and great to chat with. Since i stayed a considerable amount of time there, i got to know Michelle quite well. My border collie, Poe also settled in quickly and found his spots for relaxing in the shade. A definite plus to be able to have my dog stay with me. Very easy access f

Updated Westside home. 4 blocks from the beach!
We had a great stay. Ian’s place is cute, comfortable, and close to everything but still nice and quiet. Beds were super comfortable, and the kitchen was spacious and well-stocked. My dogs had a great time walking through the neighborhood to the beach and hanging out in the fenced in backyard! The hot tub was a highlight, and Ryan (Ian’s brother) was awesome—he spent nearly a whole day cleaning it after the previous guests to make sure it was perfect for us. Communication with him was excellent. Would definitely stay here again!

Escape to "Enseñada Del Sol" Beach House
What an absolutely stellar and extremely comfortable home. My entire family greatly enjoyed the hospitality, well appointed kitchen, fantastic outdoor space and the built in bunkbeds worked perfectly for our teens. Incredible location and visiting the nearby Farmer's Market was a definite highlight (as well as the beaches of course!). We'd love to return sometime in the future! Thank you!

Coastal Redwood Cabin | Hot tub | Private Creek
Beautiful and clean cabin with just as beautiful surroundings. The skylights and windows facing the bushes and trees kept a sense of feeling connected to the surroundings. Hot tub was great and access to the creek was a lovely bonus. I felt like Snow White and was waiting for woodland creatures to join me in the cabin for a cup of morning tea.

Best Beach House Santa Cruz-Opal Cliff Beach House
Joyce’s place was clean and had a really great location. We thought we were right on the Cliff so that was kind of a bummer to have a house in front of our ocean view. But the place was really nice, and very clean! The space was really cool and had great decoration. Beds were comfortable. Kids were happy. We loved playing in the hot tub and in the garden in the backyard.

The Artists' Tree House
We stayed at this magical treehouse cabin for my birthday weekend and it was everything we hoped for and more. Nestled among towering redwoods, the space felt peaceful, private, and full of charm. The cabin was thoughtfully designed—cozy, clean, and filled with sweet touches that made it feel special. The hot tub under the trees was an absolute dream, especially in the quiet of the early morning or under the stars at night. The surrounding forest was alive with birdsong, and we loved how connected we felt to nature while still having all the comforts we needed. If you’re looking for a place to slow down, reset, and experience the magic of the redwoods, this is it. We left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already dreaming of coming back.

Boardwalk Oasis-HotTub-Bikes- Surfbrds, 1blk beach
Location is fantastic - walkability to the boardwalk and the local park, which our two young kids used a few times during our short stay. The place was also clean and matched the description. The amenities, specifically the stocking of the kitchen and bathrooms was a bit lacking. For example, there are no paper products, except for toilet paper, and no coffee or tea. Communication and check in were easy.
Pet-friendly home rentals with a pool

Charming 1 bedroom, 1 bath, 2 Story Condo.
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.

Central Coast; Meadow, Hot Tub, Polite Pets Welcom
This was the most peaceful and beautiful space I have ever been to. The view from the balcony was gorgeous. All the greenery and the deers and random dog was super gorgeous and felt really at home. The hot tub was amazing and super relaxing. Robert was very kind and responsive, Received a phone call about all the lights, hot tub, close trails, and recommended spots!! Super helpful and very kind gesture. Would 100% go back to this place

The studio at Sarahills Vineyards
Linda and Bob are wonderful hosts. We love their beautiful studio. The location is an amazing and we felt very safe and secure. Their property is a beautiful vineyard and the pool is right outside the studio. Lots of walkable paths, and our dogs Loved it. We will be back!

Magical Huckleberry Woods Sanctuary w/Pool and Spa
EJ and Nancy have such a lovely property. We easily felt we had our own space. You can tell that they've been doing this for years, and have a great way of making everything comfortable for guests. Our two kids had space to spread out, the playground is not directly next to the front door of the apartment, but you can see it through the yard's trees & hear them more or less within ear shot. Kitchen was amply supplied and set up, & there are plenty of storage spaces and creature comforts to make the stay feel like home. Beds were comfortable & clean, super comfortable pillows. The unit itself doesn't get a ton of natural light, but to be expected in redwoods. The hosts were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful, we had a nice time chatting with them. Wonderful hosts, they felt like family. Their little dog is so so sweet and friendly as well, my kids loved the dog. Great location, easy to get to surrounding areas and Santa Cruz proper. Would return!

Large Seascape getaway with ocean view 1089
Outstanding location and great condo. Condo was just as advertised. It was clean and very comfortable. Cheshire Realty was easy to deal with.

High-End Lakeview Guest Cottage in Los Gatos
Alexa's place is gorgeous! We had an incredible stay with our kids and grandbaby! The setting in unbelievable in the mountains right outside Los Gatos. It feels like a luxury resort with the infinity edge pool and lush grounds. The apartment is beautiful and well appointed. Alexa even left us some fresh fruit and veggies right from her garden! We'll definitely be back!

Romantic getaway to Seascape Resort
Had a wonderful stay at Ling’s place .. it was awesome place with amazing beach just a walk away . Really enjoyed our stay here. Will definitely book again if ever wanted to come again . Place was exactly like the description.

The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep. The location was also perfect, making it easy to explore the area. Highly recommend!

Victorian Beach House Santa Cruz
Perfect place to stay. Great for kiddos with a park across the street. Beach, boardwalk, shops and restaurants are all close by. We loved our stay here!!

Gorgeous 3-bedroom home, quiet, close to shopping!
I stayed a few days in Nalin's charming home while visiting relatives in San Jose. The home had everything I needed, and was comfortable & cheerful. I especially liked the coffee table in the front room that converts to a desk. I had a big data collection project to work on while I was there, and the space was great for spreading out and getting the work done. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. I was especially delighted by the little lights accenting the front yard at night. The house is a short drive from shopping & restaurants. Beds were really comfy. Lots of thoughtful details. I would definitely stay again.

Magical hilltop 3-bedroom with spectacular views
My friends and I had a wonderful time staying at VacatioNEST. The house exceeded our expectations. The location is beautiful and overlooks the Pacific Ocean. Check in was very easy. It is 45 minutes to Santa Cruz and Monterey. There are several wineries close by. I highly recommend staying here for a group vacation.

Steps to Black's Beach
We had a great stay at Kathryn’s cozy airbnb! Amazing location right at the beach and easily walkable. Kathryn was such a nice and helpful host. Would love to stay here again!

Charming Entire Los Gatos Saratoga House
Rezan is one of the best hosts

Charming, Light-filled House Walk To The Beach
Sarah’s house was beautiful- clean and lots of room. There was enough space for us to be together and space for alone time. There were 8 of us. Sarah had made some recommendations for dinners and places to go. We did try a couple of them and the Mexican restaurant and ice cream place was delicious . We had one issue with hot water and Sarah responded immediately and issue was resolved in a timely manner. The house was a little farther from Santa Cruz than we were used to but it only took 20 minutes get there. The area where the house was located was quiet and close to the ocean. We genuinely loved our time in Aptos. Would stay again .

Pleasure Point Beach House!
Jackie’s place was fantastic and she was super responsive and helpful for any questions or requests we had. The house has fantastic natural light and was very clean inside and the backyard was amazing as well. The outdoor shower was great for washing off sand and the washer / dryer were great to keep clothes clean. It was the perfect place and we would highly recommend booking Jackie’s place if you can find availability!
