Waterfront vacation rentals in Santa Clara County

Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay. Well equipped kitchen and it was fun to spend some time enjoying the view.

The wife and I really enjoyed the location of this place. You would be hard pressed to find another Airbnb with a better spot!

Only one minor thing: the universal electric car charger is out or order. Not the host's fault. But be aware. (There is a Tesla charger in the garage that's working.)

We stayed at Kathleen's place for Thanksgiving, just after some torrential storms. The weather, however, was fantastic, and we enjoyed the pool and hot tub (saltwater--a pleasant surprise!). The beach was really great; our girls really enjoyed hunting for sea glass. Our older one discovered some old glass that dated back to pre-WWII and had trace amounts of uranium in it (it glows bright green under UV light). After that, looking for sea glass was all they wanted to do.... I don't know if all Seascape units are as nicely appointed, but this one was clean, modern, and comfortable. I can't recall if it is in the description, but it has a nice collection of puzzles and board games.

Michael’s property was exactly as pictured—beautiful, clean, and perfectly set up for a relaxing family getaway. From the moment we walked in, the ocean views through the bedroom windows and the main patio took our breath away. Winding down each evening to the sound of the waves was incredibly peaceful—it truly felt like the ocean was rocking us to sleep. After spending our days exploring the area, it was such a gift to come back to this calm, comfortable space. Walking the beach at sunset became a favorite part of our routine. The home had everything our family needed and more. Highly recommend this property for families looking for a peaceful, scenic, and welcoming place to recharge together.

Terri's place is fresh and clean. It appears to be recently renovated, with gorgeous interior design, an open kitchen, and lovely landscaping. This was definitely one of the cleanest Air BnB's we have stayed in. Pristine inside and out. The kitchen is well appointed and had all of the appliances/cooking utensils we needed. The garden is gorgeous (there's that word again) and gets a lot of comments from people walking the river. A beautiful stroll along the river path gets you to the shops and restaurants at the esplanade. We cannot wait to return! Something not in Terri's control (obviously) is the traffic. Bring your patience every time you leave the location in your vehicle. Capitola and the surrounding towns were not designed for the sheer amount of people who come visit, so every outing in a car is slow going. Just enjoy the view and plan ahead.

Had a great stay! Bjorn replied quickly to messages. The place was beautiful and just as described. Overall we had a wonderful time! Would definitely book again.

The sound of the creek flowing water was a treat. The redwood trees in the yard are impressive. The kitchen worked well for Thanksgiving meal prep and enjoyed the big kitchen table. Great combination of a restored home with modern upgrades. Extremely clean and well equipped. Jenni communicates well and provided great recommendations. We are very thankful to have the opportunity to stay at this house.

Beautiful home so close to the beach! Lovely place and we would choose it again next time we come to the area.

What a peaceful place. We had a great short visit and hope we can come again! The place is even better than the photos. We spent hours watching the birds, ocean and sun set and rise. It was great that we could bring our dog along too!

Absolutely magical stay in Brookdale! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the serene beauty of this property. The gentle sounds of the creek just outside set the perfect tone for a relaxing getaway. The outdoor area, complete with a stunning outdoor fireplace, became our favorite spot to unwind each evening under the stars. Inside, the house was just as impressive—beautifully maintained, cozy, and thoughtfully appointed. It was perfectly clean and had everything we needed. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed for cooking up our vacation breakfasts. Every detail made it feel like a true home away from home. Our kids didn’t want to leave. And the location? Simply unbeatable. Nestled among the towering, awe-inspiring redwoods, it felt like we were in our own private forest retreat. We couldn’t have asked for a more peaceful, magical setting. This place is a hidden gem—we’re already planning our next visit!

What a lovely place for a brief staycation! Beautifully decorated and designed, with great access to the beach and shops and restaurants.

Joanne and Nicole’s apartment was very spacious, and both David and I had more than enough room to relax and enjoy our time. The home theater was such a special treat, and we really appreciated the helpful information they provided about nearby restaurants. On top of that, they generously left snacks and even pasta sauce for us, which made us feel very welcomed. The outdoor hot tub was warm, clean, and incredibly cozy, making our stay even more relaxing. The instructions they gave were very clear and easy to follow, which helped everything go smoothly from the moment we arrived. They also placed a very easy-to-understand guidebook inside the apartment, so we could quickly find anything we needed without any confusion. Thanks to their thoughtful setup and care, we were able to fully relax and enjoy a slow and peaceful two-night, three-day stay.

We spent several nights in David’s condo, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. I had kind and timely communication with David even before our arrival, and the condo itself was just perfect. The pictures don’t do it justice, it is in a very peaceful, private area and closer to the water than expected. Breathing the ocean air and the sound of waves is so healing. I watched humpback whales breach and dolphins feeding, it was very pleasant to have pelicans flying right past as well. The sunsets were beautiful and it was such excellent viewing at any time of day with 2 deck levels to choose from. You can view the coast from Santa Cruz all the way down to Monterey! The condo is tastefully decorated and spacious, and the beds were extremely comfortable with cozy quilts and pillows. There are comfy throws for your lap and many other homey touches. The condo has so many dishes and pots and pans it’s easy to cook a meal. I can’t wait to stay there again. Thank you David!

We absolutely loved our stay at Kristina’s condo! The place was spotless, beautifully furnished, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Kristina was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this Airbnb – we’d definitely stay here again!

This is a "home run" sort of airbnb. I was trying to plan future trips around staying here within 20 mins of checking in. good sign! very organized, and feels like home without the clutter. Peaceful ocean view from the living room patio and bedroom. I was doing a staycation and I liked it so much I added on another day. don't second guess just book it. book it. book it!!!!! I'd be surprised if you didn't thoroughly enjoy all that it has to offer. wonderful communicative hosts. thank you for a great get away. Love your place and I am picky! Being a Realtor and going into lots of homes I can truly appreciate it when someone does it right.

Tess was a great host! Went above and beyond to help us enjoy our stay! Love the location.

Beautiful condo, with the best sunsets. Easy check in and parking. The resort was great, although we didn't spend much time there. Had a meal at the restaurant, which wasn't great but walked across the road and had a very nice Chinese takeaway from Hong Kong Garden. We also enjoyed a walk along the beach. I would definitely recommend this condo. It was super clean and full of amenities for you to use if you so wished.

This was our second stay at Seascape. It's a beautiful, relaxing property. The unit is comfortable and very well-appointed. Even the sofa bed and wall bed are really comfy. The view is lovely. The location of this unit makes it pretty easy to get belongings to and from the parking lot. Owners are friendly and professional, with great communication.

After a last minute cancellation by another property, we were lucky enough to find Blake and Lisa’s wonderful home. The whole space is beautifully renovated and the view is incredible. We actually changed some of our plans so we could spend more time staying in and watching everything going on at the beach. Getting to see dolphins from the kitchen, living room, and master bedroom was a real treat. The walking path along the beach is just steps from the door, as well as several restaurants, a market, and a deli. Parking was right outside the door as well, and the neighborhood was quiet. We can’t wait to go back and spend more time there. Thank you, Lisa, for being so accommodating and helpful with our last minute booking. We really appreciate everything!
