Vacation rentals with a patio in Rio del Mar

This was a very nice apartment in a quiet, well-maintained complex. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had the basics we needed. I would definitely stay here again!

we had a lovely stay here! felt very peaceful up in the trees! local recommendations were great. would recommend for anyone looking to stay in the area.

Loved our stay at this little apartment near the sea! The apartment was beautiful, clean, and well stocked with towels, linens, and other amenities in case we forgot something. The washer and dryer were helpful after a long day at Refuge in Carmel (we took a dip in all the thermal pools). Kevin was so lovely and checked in on us and offered great recommendations. We will definitely be back!

Michelle was a very proactive host. Space is clean, neat and as pictured. Was great alternative to hotel for a conference trip. Would stay again.

We stayed at the apartment while our house was getting remodeled. The location is great—walking distance to shops and restaurants. The bed was comfortable, and the patio was a great addition. The first-floor location and the large trees make the apartment cooler, but also a little dark. Overall, we had a good stay, and Cosme has been very responsive and flexible with our change of plans!

Great communication from airbnb host. I stay here quite frequently, always very clean. Parking always available, washer and dryer available. Internet available. Definitely recommend. 5 stars

Cute and clean in-law apartment located in a quaint and quiet neighborhood with walking distance to local hot spots. The host was accommodating and easy to communicate with. She responded quickly when questions arose. I would recommend this place for a great stay in Santa Cruz!

We had an amazing stay at Howard’s Place! Literally steps from the beach. Howard was very communicative and always responded if we reached out to him. The community is also amazing! We had an issue with the blinds not working and they came the next day and fixed them. They provide wheelbarrows for luggage and have a private pond. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks Howard!

Nalin's home was spacious and comfortable for my family (5 adults) and 2 small dogs when we came to stay for my brother's graduation in mid-May. We asked Nalin if we could park a 5'x8' cargo U-Haul trailer and were able to park our truck with the trailer right in front of the house with no problem. Everyone had comfortable beds to sleep on, especially the pull-out couch that turned into a full/queen sized bed. We had a quiet neighborhood, so no unexpected party noises around us. Plenty of kitchen appliances and dinnerware to use for all of us, especially a water boiler for out tea and coffee! Mom loved the backyard area with the beautiful greenery and sitting area. I loved the shower pressure, although my dad mentioned the showerhead position was a little short for his height (I'm pretty petite and my dad is about 6'). Overall it was a great stay!

We enjoyed our 4 nights at the house. The host made us feel at home right away with his friendly messages. The house was clean, well-appointed and there was great attention to details. Bottled water, coffee pods and some candies were thoughtfully laid out. Walk-in wardrobe with lots of pull-out drawers and space for hanging clothes. New washer and dryer with laundry detergent pods provided. Pretty well-manicured garden and backyard. Well-equipped kitchen - it would have been a pleasure to cook some meals, but we didn’t have the opportunity. We also liked the neighbourhood which was quiet, safe and pretty. If we ever came back to Santa Clara, we’d definitely come here again!

Amazing estate with breathtaking views. Beautiful interior with high vaulted ceilings making you feel you are inside a castle. Everone in our group of 10 very much enjoyed our stay. Wished we could have stayed longer than a weekend. Great and responsive host. Thank you Andrey!

As mentioned by others, the place is super comfortable, has a lot of amenities and is super close to the boardwalk and the downtown area. However, what really stood out to us was the host’s hospitality. They were super accommodating when we mentioned we’d be getting to Santa Cruz a little early and if we could use the bikes to go cruise around in the meantime. We only stayed for one night, but were able to enjoy a full day of fun because of that. We rode to Brommer park, played pickleball, went back to check in, headed out to eat, walked around and then went back to enjoy the spa and ping pong table. The whole house was spacious and the beds were super comfortable. Definitely recommend David’s place.

We had a great time at this airbnb. Everything was clean, neatly organized and welcoming. The place was in a safe and quiet area too. Kylie went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed and was very responsive. We would definitely come back to this airbnb when in the area again in the future. Thank you!

We enjoyed this place for our kickoff to summer break. 3 adults, 6 kids; the place had plenty of space for all of us. The only thing that could've made it better would be for guest to somehow see how loud we are. Veronica did a great job communicating the expectations about noise ordinance but if you're not familiar with noise levels it might be hard to gage, especially with kids. Veronica had reach out to me on our first day but she was kind, respectful and responsive. I hope to book this place again.

Fabulous place. Would highly recommend to everyone. Dominique provides everything you could need and is always on hand to answer questions. The place is gorgeous and perfectly located. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Santa Cruz!

Megan is a great host and very attentive. At this time while work to the grounds are still in progress this might not be a good choice for those that are not able to walk and carry luggage through rocky gravel to get to cottage. Great place for people that love cats, there is a cat name Buddy on the property that visits and even wants to stay in door with visitors. All in all our time spent at the cottage turned out good.

I had a wonderful stay! The place was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. The hosts were incredibly kind and responsive, making sure I had everything I needed for a comfortable visit. You can really tell they care about their guests and take pride in providing a great experience. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and well-managed place to stay. Thank you for everything!

This was a fantastic place to stay!! The only odd aspect was an 8:00 pm curfew. Otherwise, it was very clean, well managed and comfortable. The view is amazing and the walk to the beach is 💯

Our favorite part was the walk to the expansive beach. The resort is very nice, and the condo was great.

We had a wonderful stay at this condo. It’s absolutely perfect and has everything you could possibly need. We were especially delighted to find chopsticks, which totally made our day since we were planning to have ramen and thought we’d have to use forks! The view from the condo is stunning, like something out of a movie, and it was such a treat to have easy access to the beach. Watching the sunset was one of the highlights of our trip. The host was very responsive and provided clear, helpful instructions for everything, from check-in and check-out to using the washer. The check-in process with the gate attendant was smooth and made us feel extra secure. Everything was super clean and thoughtfully prepared. We stayed at several Airbnbs along Route 1, and this one was undoubtedly the best. Highly recommend!

Had a wonderful time at this Seascape 1 bedroom unit. It has all the comforts of home plus an amazing view of the ocean. It was well stocked with everything you need. Tyler was very responsive when I needed help with the television remote control. Without a doubt one of the best places to stay in the area.

David was a fabulous host!!! He was kind, accommodating, and quick to respond! The villa was a perfect location and the view was beautiful! The location is central to the pool & spa and restaurant. The villa was top notch, with several additional high quality touches which made the stay even more enjoyable. From the YETI mugs and YETI ice box, to the JBL speaker and coffee station. The bedding and decor was gorgeous and the vibe of the villa is coastal chic and peaceful! The guest book at the villa is so unique too! I 100% recommend this villa and David! Thank you, David for a wonderful experience! Blessings!

The location of the condo was superb. The few minute walk to the beach was so convenient and the view was breathtaking. Everything was clean inside and the parking garage was directly around the corner. I would come here again.

We stayed here with our 3-year-old son and all had a wonderful time! The unit we were in was exceptionally clean, quiet, and even had a small view of the ocean! The playground, pool, and beach were all right outside our door and were the highlight of our stay. Trader Joe’s and Target were less than 10 minutes away which was great too. It was a perfect spot to stay as we ventured through Monterey, Carmel, and Big Sur. Although, the condo was so relaxing we easily could have just stayed put the entire time! Would definitely love to come back! Thanks for being such a great host and for the excellent communication and quick responses!
