Beautiful Large 4BR Home with POOL
Gwen’s place was great!! Spacious with a very nice backyard with a pool. I wish we had more time to enjoy it!!

Monterey Bay Oasis on the Ocean!
Fantastic location and home for a family get-away. Much to see and do on site and in the local area. The home is very comfortable and welcoming with all the amenities you might need and more. Can’t wait to book again!

Redwood Oasis - Private Heated Pool by State Park!
Everything about our stay was fantastic!! The beds, the pool, the town…the three of us loved this Airbnb and look forward to coming back. Swimming in a heated pool in the winter is a heavenly experience.

Perfect home with pool for family vacations!
We had a great stay. The home was very comfortable and stocked with everything we needed. Good pillows and towels. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub as well as the park down the road. Thanks so much.

Relax Watch Waves Crash Chic + Modern 3BD
We had a lovely weekend with our family celebrating a birthday. The place was perfect for hosting 6 of us, walking to the beach and then driving up to Capitola and other towns very close by for celebration dinners. We enjoyed staying here and would definitely recommend others to consider for a beach getaway.

Home Away From Home 5
We had a great stay at Dennis's home. It was perfect for our visit to Monterey, making us feel right at home. Dennis was a great host, with great communication. Definitely would stay again in the future!

Beautiful Ranch Home "Buena Vista"
Madeline’s place was just as described. She was very easy to communicate with and made it easy to check in and check out. She was available if needed and privacy and peaceful surroundings were a part of this beautiful home. Madeline was also kind enough to mail back an item left behind. She was very friendly and I would stay here again. It was a nice and beautiful place to relax at, great yard and also a local and short few minutes drive to restaurants and things to do.

Blue Whale Bungalow
Great beach getaway celebrating our recent hs graduate. 4 adults and one puppy. Walking distance to beach and food. Enjoyed relaxing in the patio and people watching. Mariam was a fabulous host and was very responsive.

The Coop
This house was great for our family of four. We had plenty of space, the kitchen was well equipped, and the outside area gave the kids a nice place to play. Our toddler especially enjoyed the Thomas train set in his room! This is a lovely area of Santa Cruz too - easy walk to the beach and Boardwalk.

Seaside Sunshine 3bd/2bth sleeps 8
This was our third year using Donna’s home for our week-long annual trip to the Monterey peninsula. We have always been pleased with our stay, and this year was no different. Donna’s home has everything a family or group could need. The home has always been clean and tidy. It’s located in a quiet neighborhood, and very close to most of the points of interest in this area including golf courses, the popular Monterey Bay Aquarium/Fisherman’s Wharf, and Laguna Seca Raceway. Her communication has been friendly and clear - no troubles to speak of. If you are considering a stay in this area, either short or longer term, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it!

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.

Wave House by the Beach for Two!
We loved our stay at Kendall’s place! It was beautiful, comfy, relaxing and had everything we needed. Thank you:)!

Life Is Good in our Quiet and Peaceful retreat
This rental is in a class all of its own. We walked around the first 30-45 minutes upon entering admiring the incredible decor of Kathy's rental. She truly truly cares about your stay and could not have been a better host or communicator. Our stay was a vacation of a lifetime and this rental is an absolute gem, and so is Kathy!

Safe, Steps To Beach, Spa, Near Harbor, Pets Okay!
We came here with our dog and had a great time! The place was comfortable, clean, and great backyard with a hot tub, just as advertised. Loved the neighborhood. It's super close the beach and within walking distance to a few really good places to eat. Shyamal was easy to communicate with and a great host. Instructions were very clear.

Magnolia Garden Bungalow :)Dogs/Hot Tub
Sara's home was lovely and comfortable. Her gardens on the side of the house and outside a bedroom in front, were tranquil, colorful, magical places. I daydreamed about how she must have planted in stages over the years, planning blooms for the different seasons and assisted by her obvious green thumb. The kitchen was well equipped, and the home had everything we needed. Sara was very welcoming, leaving us a beautiful flower arrangement, and a water bowl and squeaking and crinkling toy for our dogs.

Very Private, Jacuzzi, King, 3 Balconies, Espresso
We loved staying at this location. Beautiful views as well as really nicely decorated house and furnishings.

Big Beautiful Home Away From Home/9beds/18 Guests
It was a beautiful home, my family and I loved it

Short walk to beach - Perfect beach getaway
Louise’s place was absolutely wonderful, and she was an exceptional host. The home was spacious and had the cutest porch—perfect for sitting around and catching up with my group of girlfriends. The neighborhood was peaceful and walkable, with easy access to Sea Cliff Beach and nightly visits to Marianne’s Ice Cream, which became a favorite treat. It was also a short, convenient drive to both Capitola and Santa Cruz. Louise was incredibly flexible and accommodating throughout our stay. She even went out of her way to help us retrieve an item we accidentally left behind. I would 100% recommend staying here!

Relaxing West Cliff Escape with Hot Tub!
Darling home, perfectly situated on a quiet west side street, and walking distance to lighthouse point, Steamers, beach, boardwalk, and downtown shopping. Also, there are several B-cycle hubs in the neighborhood for easy, convenient e-bike rentals. Love this neighborhood, and this home did not disappoint! Great kitchen, awesome hot tub with outdoor shower, and comfy beds. We’ll be back!

Big Valley View Home
Great spot for a family. Everyone has their own space.

Beach Suite
Wonderful space! Comfy, charming, well appointed, clean. Specifically, an extremely comfortable bed. Perfect for a single person or couple, with walking distance to the beach. Andrew and Teyara were flexible and communicative. We’d definitely come back!
