Magnolia Garden Bungalow :)Dogs/Hot Tub
Sara's home was lovely and comfortable. Her gardens on the side of the house and outside a bedroom in front, were tranquil, colorful, magical places. I daydreamed about how she must have planted in stages over the years, planning blooms for the different seasons and assisted by her obvious green thumb. The kitchen was well equipped, and the home had everything we needed. Sara was very welcoming, leaving us a beautiful flower arrangement, and a water bowl and squeaking and crinkling toy for our dogs.

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

Los Gatos/Cambrian COTTAGE-HOT TUB/pvt.parking
Michelle was very hospitable. The backyard was beautiful and well maintained. The cottage was private, very peaceful and in a safe neighborhood. It felt both modern and cozy ♡ I loved the cute kitchen, the nice shower, the outdoor patio with seating and the comfy bed. I will definitely return to stay again as I am originally from the bay area and this location is perfect for hanging out or quickly getting many other surroundings cities that I frequent. I can't wait to go back to the cottage for my next bay area trip!

Escape to "Ensenada Del Sol" Beach House
Gabriel was a great host and provided a lot of information to make our stay better. My group didn't do the best job at separating the garbage and Gabriel was very kind and considerate in addressing the issue so we could work towards a resolution, which I appreciated. I would definitely book his place again.

Livermore Cottage, Pets ok.
Very nice little apartment and one of our favorite places! The bed is super comfortable which was important to us. The kitchen is well-stocked, full refrigerator, and had a Keurig with coffee. We liked being away from downtown, but still conveniently located.

Victorian Beach House Santa Cruz
We enjoyed our stay! The backyard patio was a highlight to spend time sitting and eating outside. The interior was well decorated and had enough space for a group of 5. The location was excellent to walk downtown or to the beach!

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!

Charming, Light-filled House Walk To The Beach
We had a wonderful stay at Sarah’s place! Excellent location and quiet streets. The house had everything we needed and communication was great. A lovely stay in Aptos!

Blue Whale Bungalow
We had a great time staying at this place. Family of four along with our fur baby everyone had a great time. The beds were comfy, we enjoyed sitting out on the patio. The place fit the description perfect, and Miriam was very responsive . we were even welcomed with treats upon arrival. It was great having all the beach necessities, chairs sand toys even the football to use at the beach. walking distance to beach and pick deli as well as the coffee shop was a huge plus. we enjoyed our stay at hope to be back soon!

Light-Filled Escape: Your Home Away From Home
We had a wonderful stay at this home—it was the perfect setting for our vacation with multiple families and young children. The house was incredibly well-equipped with everything we needed, from a fully stocked kitchen that made group meals a breeze to thoughtful amenities that made traveling with little ones so much easier. There was plenty of space for everyone to relax and spend quality time together, and the layout made it easy to keep an eye on the kids while still enjoying ourselves. The home was clean, comfortable, and clearly cared for with attention to detail. We’d gladly return and highly recommend it to anyone traveling with kids!

Ocean View, 5min flat walk to Beach, Pet Friendly
Great beach location. Nice and quiet. Very nice space.

Beach View, Pet Friendly, 1 Min Walk to Sand
Had a wonderful and comfortable stay with 2 kids, 4 adults, and a dog. Could not be more convenient with the beach across the street and a market a short walk away. Loved the neighborhood feel to the beach and the beach market made things even more convenient. The road noise is significant but the provided white noise machines were a help. Would definitely stay here again!

Oceanfront Oasis, Sunsets & Crashing Waves
Amy’s incredible home was beautiful for the weekend. It was clean, the views are absolutely wonderful: faces the ocean and has a gorgeous viewpoint right outside. I felt right at home, and she was extremely helpful, communicative and responsive anytime I had a question! Would absolutely stay here again and recommend to anybody else. Amy is an amazing host and the home was unforgettable! Thank you!
