Santa Cruz Beach Cottage Getaway

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 366 reviews5 days ago

This is by far the perfect beach getaway house! My husband had classes in the area so during the day my daughter and dog could walk right to the beach! There is even a museum right in walking distance I took my daughter to twice. And the Santa Cruz beach boardwalk is only a ten minute walk which we did another day! The Airbnb itself was beautifully decorated with a wonderful shower and a clawfoot tub. The outdoor area was so great to relax in as well. This place was stocked with beach chairs and toys and extra towels and even sunblock. Everything we could need. In fact we loved it so much we extended our stay. Yvonne was SO responsive and friendly and really made our vacation just completely hassle free and perfect. I can see why this place is always booked!

We had a wonderful time staying at Toby and Chels's place! Throughout the process, they were proactive and communicative, making sure that we were doing well and enjoying our stay, including turning on the heater and outdoor lights for our arrival after getting stuck in traffic and arriving after dark. The location is excellent, well within walking distance to the beach, Boardwalk, and restaurants. We had a great time, and would absolutely stay again! Thanks for taking such good care of us!

Copper Nest beach retreat with stunning views

4.98 out of 5 average rating, 146 reviews1 week ago

We had a spectacular visit to Coppers Nest. The house is a marvel from the second to walk the boardwalk to their stairs, and the interior is thoughtful and very well appointed. The complex is quintessential California, with unique architecture, gorgeous flora and fauna, plenty of amenities (pickleball, tennis, bball courts, bocce, etc), all with the constant and soothing pounding of waves and ocean views at every turn. Bryan and Erin were terrific hosts, making sure we had everything we needed while never feeling overwhelmed. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for a Monterey Bay vacation.

Charming, Light-filled House Walk To The Beach

4.85 out of 5 average rating, 307 reviews1 week ago

We just got home from a wonderful stay in Aptos. Our family of 5 plus 2 dogs were very comfortable there. Loved hearing the crashing waves at night. We enjoyed Sarah’s recommendations of local restaurants and beaches to visit. It is an easy drive to Santa Cruz just North or down to Monterey just South. I would highly recommend staying at her beautiful home.

We had such a wonderful stay at Mariam's place! From the moment we booked, Mariam was incredibly kind and communicative, making sure we had everything we needed and answering any questions right away. The house was spotless and super cozy — the perfect size for our family of four and our two pups! It's in a peaceful, quiet neighborhood, just a short walk to the beach, which was a huge plus for us. We felt so at home and would absolutely love to come back. Thank you again, Mariam, for such a lovely experience!
