House vacation rentals in Rio Del Mar Beach

This was the most peaceful and beautiful space I have ever been to. The view from the balcony was gorgeous. All the greenery and the deers and random dog was super gorgeous and felt really at home. The hot tub was amazing and super relaxing. Robert was very kind and responsive, Received a phone call about all the lights, hot tub, close trails, and recommended spots!! Super helpful and very kind gesture. Would 100% go back to this place

The view of the redwoods is magnificent. This and the delightful layout of the house made for the perfect vacation. The bath robes were fun to relax in too. The host really goes the extra mile with this property.

This place was nicer than the photos and absolutely perfect for a girls weekend. Everything was well equipped and labeled. The location was very quiet and peaceful with great access to a quiet beach. You definitely need a car as it's a little isolated but that added to the charm.

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.

Wonderful place and host. The place and views was spectacular and maintained very well. Beds and amenities were very comfortable. Crystal was amazing and super helpful and went out of the way in helping us. Will most definitely repeat.

Great place to stay! Jessica's place is comfortable, spacious and a cozy home-away-from-home in a nice quiet family neighborhood. Close enough to shops, beach, adventures and outings, but perfect for both quiet down-time and restoration, and our family meals and game nights. Check-in was a breeze, communication was effortless and easy, and felt that Jessica's home was hard to leave. We highly recommend Jessica's place and would love to stay again when our family gathers to this beautiful redwood location!

We had a lovely stay at the schoolhouse! Despite being so close to the road and the highway, it felt very private. Kitchen was super well appointed, and the whole house was spacious and airy. We really liked the decor. We really appreciated the surplus of towels! The pool was warm and clean and the hot tub was hot. Beds were comfortable and we all had a chance to catch up on sleep. The sofas are a little low; we made it work. Overally, it was a great location and I can't recommend Carmen more as a host! We will be back!

Wonderful place in a wonderful environment. We had an excellent time with the kids, very nice pool, beaches close by and in the middle of the nice green hills of California

Perfect place to stay. Great for kiddos with a park across the street. Beach, boardwalk, shops and restaurants are all close by. We loved our stay here!!

We spent a long weekend at Lauren's place and it was a wonderful, relaxing home away from home. Check-in was super smooth and we absolutely loved the area the listing was in. It's walkable (or a very short drive) to many local eateries, breweries, shops, and cafes on the west side and there's also plenty of nature-oriented things to do since it's so close to the ocean — hikes, beaches, walks, parks etc. The listing itself was very clean and had everything we need. Lauren even left some snacks and drinks for us as a welcome gift which we thought was very sweet. The kitchen is well stocked for your needs there. The one small setback was that it didn't have a a full sized refrigerator so the frozen foods we bought didn't quite fit into the mini fridge's freezer section. Everything was spotless and though it was raining while we were there, we would definitely come back and enjoy the patio space next time. Highly recommend this listing for a peaceful getaway to Santa Cruz.

We had a wonderful stay. A short walk to the beach makes this a perfect location. The house has everything you might need... beach towels, a washing machine, lots of comfy couches...

Place was great--fit our needs perfectly. Recommend opening windows at night to bring in that beautiful fresh air. Our 4.5 yo was absolutely over the moon by all the activities outside in the yard-- very well equipped area for adults and kids alike! The sand toys were also a hit--we loved walking to the beach and appreciated how well written the instructions were. Just took a photo of them and went on our way. Only bummer is the lack of sidewalks in Aptos, but most cars do seem to watch for walkers. Marianne's ice cream is great, and tamales across the street also fantastic. Weather cooperated and the easy access to Santa Cruz and Monterey made this location ideal. Colm was a great host--responded immediately to any questions I had. Very thankful for this spring break trip--we truly feel rejuvenated!

Ian and his brother Ryan were excellent hosts! They were extremely communicative, which I always very much appreciate. I loved the brightness of each room, one with a large window and the other with a french door to a spacious backyard. We felt very comfortable in the home and also loved the live plants in the kitchen area. The kitchen has nice pots and pans, a few spices to cook with, and all needed utensils. We always cook when we travel, so it was great to have all of these needs met! The beds were comfortable, and the couch was nice and cozy as well :) Great location too!

Sarah’s house was beautiful- clean and lots of room. There was enough space for us to be together and space for alone time. There were 8 of us. Sarah had made some recommendations for dinners and places to go. We did try a couple of them and the Mexican restaurant and ice cream place was delicious . We had one issue with hot water and Sarah responded immediately and issue was resolved in a timely manner. The house was a little farther from Santa Cruz than we were used to but it only took 20 minutes get there. The area where the house was located was quiet and close to the ocean. We genuinely loved our time in Aptos. Would stay again .

I LOVED this place. It was so beautiful on the inside and out. Each room was so spacious and organized. Also, the walk from the house to the beach was doable and super convenient.

Andrew was a great host who was responsive and proactive. The space was comfortable, quiet and within walking distance of the ocean. The king sized bed was comfortable. There is a small kitenette with a mini-fridge. Parking is on the street in front of the unit. We were very happy with our stay and highly recommend this for your visit to Santa Cruz!

We had a lovely, seamless stay here, with two little kids in tow. It was a great location, and had lots of amenities. The backyard is nice and quiet and shady. It is a great price, and convenient location, very close to the airport but in a nice residential area also convenient to downtown. 100% would stay here again.

Sun was very helpful and communicative. Sun’s place is a short drive to some lovely beaches, close to a nice park, and centrally located for all the activities we had planned. We had 4 young kids with us (ages: 1, 3, 6, and 9), and it was very family and kid-friendly. Would recommend highly!

We had a lovely stay here with our two young kids. The house was so well-stocked with anything we could need and helpful instructions for everything. The location is great for walking to the beach, and there are sand toys and beach chairs available, as well as a great shower outdoors to rinse off sandy feet. The kids loved the games and puzzles cabinet as well as having their own room with matching twin beds. The kitchen had everything we could think of! Thanks for a great stay!

Such a beautiful location. Sound of the ocean through the windows at night. Walkable to great grocery store and cafe, etc. Didn’t want to leave. House is very clean and cared for. Feels more like a home than a rental property. Definitely recommend ✌️

My family had a great time . The house is beautiful and the location couldn’t be better . Thank you for helping us make amazing memories.

Great location! Friendly and responsive host. House was lovely and just as described.

This place was wonderfully accommodating and perfectly clean. The host was very responsive and kind would definitely recommend & stay again.

Steve's place was awesome. Close to the beach, a rooftop deck, and plenty of room for all of us to sleep and hang out. Kitchen had everything we could have needed, and the hot tub was a nice treat at the end of the day. We appreciated having a couple beach cruisers available to ride down to one of the nearby beaches in the evenings.
