Safe, Steps To Beach, Spa, Near Harbor, Pets Okay!
The house was perfect for our family. The private fenced backyard, hot tub and dining areas made the space twice the size. That big beautiful maple was a treat to sit under and enjoy all the birds flying overhead to the lagoon nearby. The location is epic! We loved walking to twin lakes and blacks beaches with the dog. Early mornings with low tide gave us plenty of beach to run around on. The farmers market on Sunday is also just a walk away. Highly recommend !

Gorgeous 3-bedroom home, quiet, close to shopping!
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!

Tropical Seabright Beach and Boardwalk Getaway
Loved sitting and reading in the peaceful yard. The weather was perfect too. This trip was for our 40th Anniversary and decided to have dinner at Shadowbrook. This is where we celebrated our first anniversary. We have been to Santa Cruz many times, but staying in this area was new to us and explored things we had never done before. Also, enjoyed walking our dog in the neighborhood. All was Good!

Haute Enchilada Beachside Resort
I loved my stay at Kim’s! I’m a Northern California native and I was thrilled with the rustic, laid-back vibe of Moss Landing. Walking distance to sumptuous coastal landscape. Loved that I could bring my pup. The bathtub was luxuriously appointed with thick white towels and boutique toiletries. Would come again and stay longer! Love, love, love!

Updated Westside home. 4 blocks from the beach!
We so enjoyed staying at Ian‘s place. The house was very comfortable and is located in a great neighborhood. It’s quiet and I so enjoyed taking my dogs for a daily walk. The home is close to some great restaurants and a wonderful park where we found a friendly Pickleball community. The area is also quite bike friendly and we took a ride with some great views of the ocean. The Co-host, Ryan, was very helpful and great about getting back to me. We hope to come back again.

Peaceful & Private Seabright, 1 mile from beach
I had a most wonderful stay at this peaceful and lovely hideaway. The place was ideal and so convenient—to the beach, to Santa Cruz's sights, and walkable spaces—but as perfect as it was, Ron and Nikki were the perfect hosts. Helpful ahead of check-in, responsive and full of great suggestions once I was in, and when I needed to help out a relative, extremely understanding and accommodating. Can't wait to come back!

Enjoy Garden Paradise 5min to beach in 3bdr house
Home was well stocked, including high chair & pack-n-play. Omar was very responsive and accommodating. Beach was within walking distance of home.

Bel Air Santa Cruz Steps to Beach
We had a great stay here! The house is well stocked and comfortable and the location is great. We lived walking to the beach everyday and my kids loved the yard. The one drawback is that is place only has one bathroom, but it was a s comfortable house for a long weekend.

Charming 1 bedroom, 1 bath, 2 Story Condo.
Everything was great! The unit had everything you could possibly need for a trip (stocked bathroom, stocked kitchen, tons of extra towels and blankets). The neighborhood was also very quiet, which was great because we're light sleepers. I would definitely recommend this spot and would stay again.

Central Coast; Meadow, Hot Tub, Polite Pets Welcom
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

Lovely Home in the Redwoods
A lovely little cabin in the rustic Lompico hills just outside of Felton. The open floor plan makes the cabin feel very roomy, and the bright interior, together with lots of natural light, makes the place feel very cheery and welcoming. The property sits on a half-acre of gently sloping land ringed by redwoods, it's gorgeous and peaceful. Our dog loved roaming, sniffing around and playing fetch with the tennis balls left by the host. Getting there is quite easy, just follow the host's directions...the narrow mountain road might seem a little daunting at first, but we got the hang of it quickly. About 5 minutes down the road is the Zayante general store for necessities and Felton proper is about 10 minutes away. Loch Lomond is also about 10 minutes away. Lompico is a beautiful area with a cool history (look it up!) and the perfect place to unwind. Thanks for having us!

Matthew’s place was so peaceful and cute. I loved the whole treehouse like vibe the places gives. It was supper cozy and quiet.

Bicycle Shack @ La Honda Pottery
I had the absolute pleasure of staying in a beautiful cabin in La Honda, CA last weekend, and it was truly a fantastic experience from start to finish. The cabin itself was cozy, peaceful, and surrounded by the stunning natural beauty of the redwoods — the perfect escape from the city. What made the stay even more special were the incredible hosts. Devora and her husband who own the property were warm, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Their hospitality was genuine and heartfelt, and it really made all the difference. Whether you’re looking for a quiet retreat in nature or just a memorable weekend getaway, I can’t recommend this place highly enough. I left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already looking forward to coming back!

Eclectic Escape
We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this beautiful wooden retreat! The property is even more charming in person and very thoughtfully designed with a cozy, rustic feel, yet fully equipped with all the modern amenities you could ask for. Everything was spotless, well-maintained, and clearly cared for with love. From the well-stocked kitchen, all toiletries and comfortable bedding to the fast Wi-Fi and relaxing outdoor space, every detail made our stay feel easy and luxurious. The peaceful surroundings added to the overall sense of relaxation, making it a perfect escape. We even celebrated our daughter’s bday and got some amazing personal photography in the house. Caleb was very friendly, responsive, and made sure we had everything needed for a comfortable stay. I would absolutely come back and recommend this place to anyone looking for a serene and stylish getaway.

Tranquil creek mountain house
Great house and Grand communication. Thank you very much.

Upper House Near the Bay
Our stay was great. Well located and easy to get to the places we wanted to visit. Yet peaceful for us to come back to and spot deer while drinking our coffee every morning. Worked out well for our family get together. Thank you!

Breathtaking Beach Front House - Steps to the Sand
The house is in a beautiful location with stunning views—truly a peaceful and scenic spot. It’s very spacious, with plenty of room to relax and spread out, which we really appreciated. The style of the home leans more traditional, and while everything was clean and functional, a few modern touches could make the space feel even more comfortable and up to date. Overall, a lovely stay in a great setting.
