Family-friendly vacation rentals in Santa Cruz

It is a beautiful stay with great interior and worth every penny

Really great place. Unfortunately the short cut to the beach seems to have been closed so best to hire bikes or scooters from the places up the road to get to the beach and local restaurants. Quiet peaceful place. Would recommend

Stayed here with family ( 7 adults+ 4 kids) ...for the Diwali weekend and also a celebration of my parents 51st wedding anniversary ..it was their 1st visit to Goa in their life. the home, Raj ( coordinator) , Vimal (cook) and staff Amit n Maya..took care of very well...They also helped us make a nice barbeque night... overall a wonderful experience.... oh yes.. Snowey, rani and mango ..the pets became family for us..

I had a fantastic stay at this Property! The residential property is in a great location, surrounded by lush green paddy fields—a truly serene and picturesque setting. The pool is sparkling clean and perfect for a relaxing dip. The property is peaceful, located on the ground floor, and offers decent amenities for a comfortable stay. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful, always ready to guide us with anything we needed. Plus, it's conveniently close to many local Goan restaurants. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a tranquil, nature-filled getaway with excellent. Best regards, Mamatha Urs 🌻☘️🌿

Had a Wonderful stay. Beautiful location, Mary is a wonderful lady. Always helping and caring. Stayed with one year old for six days and we never wanted to leave that place. Thank you Mary. 🤍

Our stay at the villa was nothing short of exceptional! This 4-bedroom property is the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and convenience, offering everything you could possibly need for a relaxing getaway. The Villa: The villa itself is stunning, with spacious and beautifully decorated bedrooms, each designed for maximum comfort. The open living areas were ideal for spending quality time together, while still providing privacy when needed. The fully equipped kitchen was a dream for anyone who enjoys cooking or wants to prepare their own meals. The Pool: The pool was a highlight of the property! It was well-maintained, with crystal-clear water, and surrounded by a gorgeous patio area perfect for lounging and soaking up the sun. Whether it was a morning swim or an evening dip, it added so much to our experience. Service: The full-time caretaker and property manager were outstanding. The caretaker ensured the villa was spotless and attended to our needs promptly and graciously.

Idyllic location, great host, extreme value for money. Best Goa visit ever! First off, Mario is a great host. He was really helpful in getting the location. He also made the lunch for us when we arrived, and he's a great cook. He also had interesting stories to share. The place is a renovated ancestral villa. There are original stonewalls with the weathered rock still in place. It's very well equipped. There are mattresses and comforters etc. And the beds are arranged in three lofts and two rooms. The view from the upper deck is amazing. A few roofs around and then trees as far as the eye can see! We spent many an evening there, looking out at the unending expanse of trees that spreads as far out as the tallest hill in the distance and then the sky. Also, Chapora river is nearby. About 30 minutes walk. Or 5 minutes drive. The site is pristine and Mario can arrange for Kayaks. That was the best experience of Goa I'd had in all my visits (and that includes a Taj Exotica stay). The river channel is unbroken and serene. Can be a little tricky since it's not cemented. Lastly, again about the host - he kept the fridge full of things to eat and cook with. Also checked if anything was required. Can't praise the guy enough. We had a medical emergency on the last evening of our stay. His long experience of hospitality industry was critically useful. He arranged an ambulance for us and made sure we got good assistance timely. I wish more people would get to use his incredible expertise at hospitality. Now I know where to go next time I go to Goa. Some points to note :- The approach route can be a little tricky. For reference, remember - take a left at Lady Victory church, then right at Angel bunglow, and a right at the panchayat. There are dogs in the houses along the way which can be a little difficult at night. Carry a stick and a flashlight with you. And most importantly, when in doubt, call Mario!

Many heartfelt thanks for the wonderful stay, Caroline. We felt extremely comfortable, enjoyed every moment, and will cherish the memories of your apartment, the activities, and Goa as a whole for a long time to come. We are sincerely grateful for your continuous support, for your son's assistance with windsurfing, and for Rabin, who was always there to help whenever we had a question. We wish all your future guests experiences as delightful as ours, and extend our best wishes to you and everyone else for the times ahead!

Absolutely Amazing Experience! We had an incredible time at this villa! A group of 11 of us checked in to celebrate a 40th birthday, and everything exceeded our expectations. The staff was extremely welcoming and attentive, taking care of even the smallest details. The location is fantastic—just a 10-minute drive to all the happening places. But honestly, the villa itself is even more beautiful than the pictures! A special thanks to Ashok- the caretaker, and Aunty for their warmth and hospitality. The food they prepared was so delicious that we skipped an outdoor lunch just to enjoy another meal at the villa! Highly recommend this place, and we’d love to come back again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The stay was amazing. Will totally recommend others. The airbnb was better than the pictures. It was all neat and clean with all the amenities. It is 3-4 kms to famous north goa beaches. The room-service was on point too. It had a parking space as well. Proper utensils were there in the kitchen. The helper was also very active and available on call.

Nikhil has been a great host. Since the beginning he was clear with the instructions and also helped us with relevant contacts for help. The property is amazing, a great Portuguese vibe. Pools clean and well maintained and kitchen was well stocked.

Harry & Tanna's place was perfect for my stay. The place has security and ample parking and it was very convenient. Harry was very proactive about communicating and responding very promptly. I had a peaceful stay, with no issues. The unit was spacious and had a little sit-out area which was very nice. Overall, it was good and would definitely stay there again.

We stayed at this lovely 2 BHK apartment in Candolim, Goa for 3 nights. The property is clean, well maintained and located in a peaceful residential complex with swimming pool, security and stilt parking. It felt very safe and comfortable for our family. The apartment has all the required home appliances and utensils, which made our stay easy. There are also two balconies where you can relax and enjoy the greenery around. The beach and good restaurants are just 8–10 minute walk away and food delivery apps work well in this area. A general store is right next to the complex gate, which was very helpful for daily needs. The host, Mr. Gurpreet and the manager, Mr. JP, were very supportive and helpful during our stay. Daily cleaning was also provided, which kept the place neat and tidy. We had a great time here and would happily recommend this place to anyone visiting North Goa.

Had a great family time with our dogs at the villa. The location is great, with both beaches and popular spots within a 30 min radius. Manoj and his team were prompt and very helpful - they did a brilliant job cleaning up everyday to make us feel right at home

We stayed for couple of days. The place is clean and has been built with dedication. The furniture and other decorative items are amazing. The place is near the beach and market place makes everything accessible quickly. There were minor problems we faced once informed host vipin fix them immediately.

Nice and cozy place near to beach and restaurant areas. We had a comfortable stay and enjoyed our holidays.

it was a good stay.

I had the pleasure of staying at this 1BHK apartment in Goa for 10 days, and I must say it was an incredible experience. The moment I stepped in, I was greeted by a well-maintained and tastefully decorated living space. The cozy bedroom with a comfortable bed ensured a restful night's sleep. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the essentials, making it convenient for me to prepare my meals when I didn't feel like dining out. One of the highlights of this stay was the balcony, offering a beautiful view and a perfect spot to relax with a cup of coffee or enjoy a sunset. The apartment complex itself was well-maintained, and the security measures provided a sense of safety throughout my stay. The location was ideal, allowing easy access to nearby beaches, restaurants, and local attractions. The host was incredibly accommodating and responsive to any questions or requests I had, which added to the overall positive experience.

Very beautiful place. Located right in the centre.. easy access to most of the tourist spots.. room was clean and spacious.. The host was incredibly nice and was very helpful. Would definitely recommend this place

We stayed at the property to spend new year with family and we had people of all ages, everyone felt like they were home. It's well spaced and has enough room. Kids and elders enjoyed the pool dips. The host and housekeepers are polite and respond immediately. It was a smooth transition from entry to exit. Thank you for hosting us. One suggestion - keeping tubes or pool noodles would be nice.

Our stay at this Airbnb was absolutely amazing! The villa was spacious, clean, and well-maintained, with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The pool was a perfect spot to relax, and the location was convenient for exploring Goa. The host was super helpful and responsive, making our trip even smoother. Highly recommend this place for a fun and hassle-free stay in Goa!

It was really a nice place to stay, very good experience, had to face issue with early checkin.. overall 9 out of 10, one less for early checkin

This was one of the best stays I have had in my long history of travel. The apartment is situated in a well maintained society in a cozy calm neighborhood. It is however at center of all that is happening in North Goa. Its 10 mins away from the beach, and 30 mins away both from Heritage city of Panjim in South and the beautiful Morjim beach in North. The apartment is very well furnished, and we felt being home away from home. Illoosh has given a personal artistic touch to the house that we enjoyed thoroughly. Her love for Goa reflected in her recommendations for experiences for us to try. We had an extended stay here and worked remotely for a few weeks. The reception on phone wasn't great but a stable Wifi enabled us to work without any major interruptions. Thank you Illoosh and Mallika for making our stay so comfortable and memorable. Would love to be back and stay in Goa with them as our hosts.

A clean and convenient accomodation. Fully furnished with all the basic amenities required for a group. Robin and his father is super friendly and reachable. I recommend this place if you are a group visiting Goa and want to be at a safe distance of touristy accommodations.
