Apartment vacation rentals in Santa Cruz

We had a fantastic stay at Anna’s place. The location is unbeatable—right at Stanford’s doorstep and just a short walk from the field where I could go for a run. The apartment is spacious and well-equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The furnishings are high-quality and thoughtfully chosen; I especially appreciated the soft cotton sheets, the comfortable bed, and the spacious deck for enjoying the outdoors. Anna was a wonderful host—responsive, helpful, and kind. This place is truly a gem!

Cecilia is a wonderful host, she is very responsive and incredibly helpful. The room is excellent, the bed is very comfortable and the laundry room access is perfect for a longer stay. The gated parking is a great plus and the surrounding area is easy to walk around and explore. I would definitely stay here again!

We stayed here on our way to Oregon and it was a beautiful and very clean apartment where everything worked exactly as expected. We made breakfast and coffee in the morning and enjoyed a slow relaxing morning. The location worked well for visiting Livermore before checking in and then visiting San Francisco the next morning. We avoided a lot of traffic. Thank you!

Very cute and homey space, the beds were very comfortable. Thanks!

Hanna quickly responded for our queries. The place was clean and felt like home. The instructions to get inside were very easy and helpful. Highly recommend this place.

I stay here for two nights and with good sleep. The location is peaceful and very convenient to downtown San Mateo where are plenty of restaurants and bars. Also it’s very easy to access the Caltrain station which is a good solution to transport to SFO downtown or South Bay Area.

Hannah’s place is comfortable and clean, and in a good location with several restaurants and activities within walking distance.

The location of the suite is in a nice area close to the Mission hills. Very quiet neighbourhood with attractive homes and gardens.

Matthew was incredibly responsive and accommodating. The space itself was very clean and in a peaceful location, with some great hiking trails nearby. We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful resort and a fabulous room! It was very spacious and well stocked. A little pricey....but that's the economy - would absolutely book again in the future if possible

We had a wonderful stay this past weekend! The place was very clean a day modern. We loved all of the amenities they offered. it was the perfect place for our family of 4 to relax in such a beautiful space. Thank you! We will be back!

As expected, a gorgeous place. Location is great—right across the Tesla shop, walking distance to everywhere in Santana Row. Highly recommended.

Book this home for my boyfriend and I while we were visiting family and it was great! The hosts were very friendly and were very helpful as well. Would definitely book a stay here again next time we visit SJ!

I really enjoyed my stay here, the apartment was large and lovely with hardwood floors and thoughtful decor. It was nice to have a covered parking spot so close to the apartment, and I loved the little lounge seat in the bedroom. The closets were very roomy with big mirrors and there were lots of comfy blankets and towels and plenty of paper towels and toilet paper for guests. The bathroom had two sinks and lots of drawers and cabinets. The area was quiet and safe and the neighbors were friendly. I especially loved the water features on the grounds, and the patio had a perfect view of the fountains and beautiful redwood trees. The hosts were great and answered the few questions I had. It was very peaceful and I would definitely stay here again!

Probably the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in in terms of being a clean, well stocked place. So many little details done right. Charging docks on all the night stands. A “did you forget anything” toiletry basket in the restroom. The well equipped kitchen and selection of coffee from Keurig to Nespresso. A lot of care was put into this home and it’s well worth the asking price. As far as location, proximity to the beach, and views - that is all self explanatory. I had an amazing time, and will certainly book again.

Lawrence was an amazing host. Very responsive and friendly and made sure to check on us via messaging during our stay. The property is comfortable and in a nice and quiet neighborhood. And also has many nice places nearby within walking distance! Would definitely stay at again!

Stayed at Oriel’s place during a recent trip to Palo Alto and couldn’t have asked for a better spot. The space looks just like the photos, everything feels fresh and nicely upgraded, with thoughtful touches throughout. There’s even a small patio that was perfect for enjoying my morning coffee. It’s in a great location too, just a short drive to Stanford and close enough to everything without feeling too busy. Oriel was super communicative, especially when some construction started next door. He went out of his way to have them hold off while I finished an important video call, which I really appreciated. All in all, it was a great stay. Loved the space, loved the hospitality, and I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town. Visiting from North Carolina

We loved our weekend at Jamie's amazing apartment in Capitola! It was so easy to walk to the beach and we loved hanging out in the beautiful backyard with our little one. Perfect spot for our little family's getaway to the beach!

We had a great stay at this Petko’s Airbnb in Half Moon Bay. The location is super convenient, with a view of the ocean and easy access to local spots. The home itself is spotless and well maintained — the bathroom and kitchen are especially gorgeous, and the bedroom was clean and comfortable with fresh linens. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The host was also very responsive and made everything easy. Highly recommend!

This place was exactly as described in the listing and the pictures. It had all the conveniences of home that were needed for a small family and is very efficiently laid out. The living area with the huge windows made the space feel open and gave you views of Monterey Bay. It is very conveniently located in Pacific Grove--walkable to Lover's Point Beach and short drive or long walk to Cannery Row or the "downtown." Although the single parking space is tight, it was very convenient to have dedicated parking close by. Check in was very easy, instructions were clearly provided. They had a washer and dryer in the building, which was also convenient for a week long stay. Mermaid Cove is definitely a convenient, comfortable, and peaceful place to stay. I highly recommend it.

We were pleased with our stay. We were attending graduation at UCSC, and the location was convenient. Our son came with us, and the pull-out sofa was comfortable for him. We loved the hardwood flooring and overall feel of the flat.

Very nice place and well appointed. Nice neighborhood and quiet. Need a car or ride share to get to most places of interest.

Surf City - Capitola GEM, cozy little spot with all the creature co.forts of home. This property is like a Swiss Army Knife, every appliance and utensils you'd ever need for a comfortable stay. Love this place, clean, great furnishings for a quick getaway. Will definitely be back.

We have stayed at many beach hotels and apartments and this may have been the best. Beautiful view of the beach, which is pretty quiet. And you can walk on the beach for a couple of hours in either direction. Also really enjoyed the location in Watsonville, which is the strawberry capital of the US. And nice to have Monterey and Santa Cruz nearby. Communicaiton with Pajaro Dunes was very good and helpful. Look forward to coming back.
