Gorgeous Bungalow 3 blocks to beach

LisaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Jeremy's bungalow was perfect for us. We were 2 couples and the space worked out great. We spent a lot of time on the large deck which is perfect for hanging out and chatting. One of our friends took advantage of the outdoor bathtub a couple of nights to relax and enjoy the night sky. I'm already missing the master bath with a door opening to a small deck and the Koi pond. It was very peaceful and zen to sit out there in the California sunshine. The beds were very comfortable and it's very quiet there - we slept great the entire stay. We were in Santa Cruz for a wedding and the location was central and close to everywhere we needed to be. It's also the perfect location for beaches and restaurants. Jeremy is great with communications. He checked in with us every couple of days to see if we needed anything and always responded quickly to any questions we had.

Oceanfront beach house with private hot tub

DeannaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
A wonderful place to relax and enjoy the beach and the ocean. Equipped with everything you need. Spacious and beautiful. I loved being able to hear the ocean at night. The beds were very comfortable. Only problem was the hot tub was not hot enough and I couldn’t get the temperature to raise above 100. I would certainly book it again.

Santa Cruz Beach House with Pool & Spa

RebecaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Ken and Brigit have a lovely beach home. Perfect for relaxing in the nice pool and spa - or conveniently located to beaches, boardwalk and restaurants. The inside of the home is very peaceful with all amenities provided as advertised. There is a beautiful yard that has a dining area as well as lots of room around the pool for lounging. The hosts were very responsive and kept in contact with us prior to our arrival which made the experience very enjoyable. We hope to return to this property as frequently as our family schedule permits. We recommend this property highly. R Peters

We enjoyed the place so much. Just wish it was closer to the beach. my relatives from Norway and Denmark enjoyed the "semi private" not crowded beach, especially the beautiful sunset. the neighborhood was so quiet and peaceful. I will definitely plan to book there again.

Panoramic Ocean Views - in Private Sanctuary

JenniferRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This home was gorgeous, we loved watching the sunset over the ocean from the balcony. Super beautiful backyard and we even got to see some deer. Beautiful view from the sunroom/living room as well. Labeling of things made things very clear. Also, just a quick 4 minute drive to Safeway. Ten minutes away from Capitola or Santa Cruz made this an ideal place to stay!

Haute Enchilada Beachside Resort

M.Rating, 5 stars1 month ago
I love the quiet vibe of Moss Landing, and this was a great place to enjoy it from. A nice view out the kitchen window of Salinas River Beach and a quick walk over to the hot enchilada restaurant and the several places nearby to get coffee. I am a taker of baths, so I was very happy with the bathroom. The bed was huge and insanely comfortable. The living room is big and open with a great tv. There are some fun spaces outside that I didn’t have a ton of time to enjoy, but don’t miss the land tortoise and some of the picnic tables and seating areas around. I would love to come again sometime.

Isolation Retreat - ocean view & hot tub

JohnRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We had an amazing time. The views of the ocean, trees, and sunset were fantastic. We were even visited by deer every morning. It is very quiet and peaceful at night, with a nice view of the stars, especially from the hot tub. Karin is a wonderful host who met us at the door and explained everything we needed to know. Great getaway.

Serene luxury beach bungalow in Pleasure Point

AaronRating, 5 stars1 week ago
So, SO great, in the top 5 Airbnb's we've ever stayed in - absolutely ideal for a weekend getaway, the whole house is great but you're never gonna wanna leave that backyard with the outdoor fireplace and hot tub (except to go to the beach of course, only takes about 90 seconds to walk down to some sand). House has everything you need and is tended to with love and care, Heather is a wonderful, kind and communicative host, can't wait to come back.

Beach Hill Hideaway - Steps to Boardwalk/Beach

KristineRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We really enjoyed staying at Dominique and Erik's beautiful home. It was beautiful, cozy, had a great location, and all the amenities needed for a wonderful stay. Upstairs, the kitchen was well stocked with everything needed and the personal welcome from our hosts was really thoughtful! The home provided tons of space and delivered on a beautifully decorated and cozy vibe. Our daughter loved the little reading nook. Downstairs, the beds and bedrooms were very comfortable and the bathrooms followed suit. If travelling with little ones, there was even a baby chair, baby gates, and other baby essentials available to use which was very helpful! Our hosts provided a list! The location was perfect for beach and boardwalk fun! If in the area again, we will definitely look to stay here! Thank you to our hosts for a wonderful stay and great communication!
