Loved it here, only regret is not staying longer! Thanks for sharing this gemđź’ž

Tropical Seabright Beach and Boardwalk Getaway
Everything was perfect. Charming cottage. We were there for our son's wedding and we needed to bring our dog with us. Great place to stay with a doggo - fenced yard made it safe to let the dog go outside by himself. Could leave the doors open so the pup could come back in when he was ready. Comfy beds. Nice neighborhood. Hosts were really communicative. Really enjoyed our stay.

Peaceful & Private Seabright, 1 mile from beach
I had a most wonderful stay at this peaceful and lovely hideaway. The place was ideal and so convenient—to the beach, to Santa Cruz's sights, and walkable spaces—but as perfect as it was, Ron and Nikki were the perfect hosts. Helpful ahead of check-in, responsive and full of great suggestions once I was in, and when I needed to help out a relative, extremely understanding and accommodating. Can't wait to come back!

Santana Row Luxury Condo 2 Story 1100 Sq Feet
Quiet apartment spacious enough for a family of five with three teenagers. Easy to get in and out and convenient parking. The apartment was fully stocked with everything you need. Kim was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Santana Row was decorated beautifully for the holidays, which made a lovely extended stay. Thank you Kim.

Beach Cottage Near Coastal Trail & Ritz
We enjoyed our stay at Guliz’s place. The house is as described. The house had plenty of towels and linens to stay warm, coffee, basic spices, etc. The layout was perfect for us and our in-laws. The fenced yard was great for our dogs and our toddler loved it too. We would definitely stay here again. It was walking distance to Poplar beach and close to stores and Lemos Farm.

Light-Filled Escape: Your Home Away From Home
We had a wonderful stay at this home—it was the perfect setting for our vacation with multiple families and young children. The house was incredibly well-equipped with everything we needed, from a fully stocked kitchen that made group meals a breeze to thoughtful amenities that made traveling with little ones so much easier. There was plenty of space for everyone to relax and spend quality time together, and the layout made it easy to keep an eye on the kids while still enjoying ourselves. The home was clean, comfortable, and clearly cared for with attention to detail. We’d gladly return and highly recommend it to anyone traveling with kids!

Gorgeous Bungalow 3 blocks to beach
A sweet house close to all the best of Santa Cruz! We were in town for a wedding and it was a perfect home base. We loved biking to Capitola and walking to get coffe and ice cream. The house was a nice size for two couples. The host was responsive and low key. We would definitely stay here again if we return.

Seascape Resort Villa Beautiful Ocean View Sleep 6
We had a wonderful short getaway at Sue’s place! The condo is just steps from the beach, pool, and jacuzzi. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves was relaxing, and the ocean breeze was very refreshing. It was exactly what we needed to reset and recharge. Everything was just as described, and we would stay here again! Thank you, Sue!

Beach Front Villa at Seascape Resort
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).

3 BR Home on Vineyard nr Palo Alto & Stanford
Amazing property & setting, absolutely loved the pool, sport court, etc. Hosts were communicative & easy, will certainly be back for another warm-weather escape.

Aptos Condo with Spectacular Ocean Views
Great place! Short walk to the beach, walk to restaurants, updated bathrooms, floors etc, beautiful, modern decor, clean, dazzling ocean view from all the windows. Little touches of care, like sunscreen in the cabinet, ketchup in the fridge, and plenty of interesting books in the night stand, really put this place over the top! Will book again!

Stunning Views @ RDM BCH w/Attached Garage
This home is amazing. Looked even better than the photos showed. The view is to die for. I literally could have stayed there all day just gazing at the sea. Lots of space , comfortable settee. Kitchen great. Loved the magnifying mirror in the bathroom. Plenty of towels. Parking outside was great. Short walk to a lovely beach. 10 mins to Capitola. 15 mins to Santa Cruz Living in the UK I don’t know when we will be back in California but if we do this is the only home I want to stay in. Loved every minute here and was sorry to leave.

Sandpiper by the Sea
Such a lovely home in a beautiful & convention location. The homeowner had answers to questions before we even knew we had them, obviously showing the thought and care that has been put into their hospitality. Thank you for the peaceful weekend♥️
