Family-friendly vacation rentals in Santa Cruz

It is a beautiful stay with great interior and worth every penny

Really great place. Unfortunately the short cut to the beach seems to have been closed so best to hire bikes or scooters from the places up the road to get to the beach and local restaurants. Quiet peaceful place. Would recommend

Lovely place to stay so near to beach, bars, restaurants and shops. Clean and v comfortable. Great pool. Air con bedrooms all ensuite. Plus amazing pool room! Helpful staff. 10min walk to candolim beach- setback from road so quiet and peaceful. Thank you for letting us enjoy your place

I had a fantastic stay at this Property! The residential property is in a great location, surrounded by lush green paddy fields—a truly serene and picturesque setting. The pool is sparkling clean and perfect for a relaxing dip. The property is peaceful, located on the ground floor, and offers decent amenities for a comfortable stay. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful, always ready to guide us with anything we needed. Plus, it's conveniently close to many local Goan restaurants. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a tranquil, nature-filled getaway with excellent. Best regards, Mamatha Urs 🌻☘️🌿

Without a doubt this place is great for people who are looking to stay a peaceful house surrounded by nature. Raul was a great host..his recommendations were very helpful and he was very responsive..went an extra mile to help in terms of local travel as well.

Our stay at the villa was nothing short of exceptional! This 4-bedroom property is the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and convenience, offering everything you could possibly need for a relaxing getaway. The Villa: The villa itself is stunning, with spacious and beautifully decorated bedrooms, each designed for maximum comfort. The open living areas were ideal for spending quality time together, while still providing privacy when needed. The fully equipped kitchen was a dream for anyone who enjoys cooking or wants to prepare their own meals. The Pool: The pool was a highlight of the property! It was well-maintained, with crystal-clear water, and surrounded by a gorgeous patio area perfect for lounging and soaking up the sun. Whether it was a morning swim or an evening dip, it added so much to our experience. Service: The full-time caretaker and property manager were outstanding. The caretaker ensured the villa was spotless and attended to our needs promptly and graciously.

If you have a 6-7 people group this is a god send. perfectly located for all fun of north goa, peaceful, lot of cats roaming around. private pool, helpful people caring for the property and just so homely. few frogs come and go in the house and bathroom but they are cute. the porch was just perfect for latenight sit outs and goa fun. very beautifully lit place. the host is very prompt and helpful for everything. will definitely book again and again

Many heartfelt thanks for the wonderful stay, Caroline. We felt extremely comfortable, enjoyed every moment, and will cherish the memories of your apartment, the activities, and Goa as a whole for a long time to come. We are sincerely grateful for your continuous support, for your son's assistance with windsurfing, and for Rabin, who was always there to help whenever we had a question. We wish all your future guests experiences as delightful as ours, and extend our best wishes to you and everyone else for the times ahead!

Absolutely Amazing Experience! We had an incredible time at this villa! A group of 11 of us checked in to celebrate a 40th birthday, and everything exceeded our expectations. The staff was extremely welcoming and attentive, taking care of even the smallest details. The location is fantastic—just a 10-minute drive to all the happening places. But honestly, the villa itself is even more beautiful than the pictures! A special thanks to Ashok- the caretaker, and Aunty for their warmth and hospitality. The food they prepared was so delicious that we skipped an outdoor lunch just to enjoy another meal at the villa! Highly recommend this place, and we’d love to come back again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Harry & Tanna's place was perfect for my stay. The place has security and ample parking and it was very convenient. Harry was very proactive about communicating and responding very promptly. I had a peaceful stay, with no issues. The unit was spacious and had a little sit-out area which was very nice. Overall, it was good and would definitely stay there again.

Nice place Attractive Portuguese furniture and architecture Good maintain swimming pool Peace place for family

We had a fantastic stay at Villa Goa with family and our dog. The villas are clean, well-maintained, and ideally located—close to Candolim Beach and restaurants, yet peaceful. The service was impeccable, with the caretaker always available and quick to assist. To our surprise, the villa looked even better than in the photos! We spent a lot of time relaxing in the spacious living room and enjoying the shared pool, which also has a good restaurant. My mother especially loved stepping onto her terrace every morning to see the coconut trees—something she still misses now that we're back home. Our stay was truly comfortable, and we would definitely book again. The only small suggestion is a kitchen upgrade, as it felt a bit dated and could use some new utensils. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we highly recommend Villa Goa for a peaceful and enjoyable stay!

We stayed for couple of days. The place is clean and has been built with dedication. The furniture and other decorative items are amazing. The place is near the beach and market place makes everything accessible quickly. There were minor problems we faced once informed host vipin fix them immediately.

Had an amazing stay at this Airbnb villa in Candolim! The location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach and close to all major attractions. The villa was spacious, well-maintained, and had all the modern amenities needed for a comfortable stay. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing yet convenient getaway!

Sathish & Zallina are both wonderful hosts & go every step of the way to make sure your stay is memorable. Their property is super close to the beach & around a lot of good restaurants & cafes which makes it a rare find! The cottage has plenty of books & toys to keep my toddler engaged. The hosts went out of their way to celebrate my wife’s birthday & arranged a home-baked cake & decorations for her. Just goes to show how kind, attentive & generous hosts they are. I wholeheartedly recommend them if you’re looking for a nice & quiet getaway with your family.

The property was an excellent choice — calm, peaceful, and beautifully suited for monsoon days. The exterior had a quiet charm that made simply sitting by the front and watching the rain a joy in itself. Inside, it was just as shown in the photos — clean, cozy, and comfortable. While the host wasn’t very responsive, the caretaker was truly outstanding and always willing to help. He made everything smooth and enjoyable. Just one small note: the cushion covers could use an update. Overall, a relaxing and memorable stay!

This is one of the best villas I've stayed in. The location is a bit difficult to find as the map location is incorrect, but the you get awed after reaching here. The Mapusa river provides a picturesque background. The villa is pristine with a top notch interior. All the rooms are aesthetically decorated. There are 2 care takers who were polite and attentive. The food quality was good. A suggestion for cook to prepare just enough food to avoid wastage. The V are family team was proactive in all the communication to make it a smooth experience. Very much appreciated. It was a wonderful experience and would love to recommend for people who want to rest away from the Goa hustle.

The stay was worth it .

Amazing to have stayed in Bharti’s and Vijay’s place. Located at a prime location and very close to most of the happening places in North Goa. Hosts were always responsive and suggested many places well in advance to us so that we can have a great time. The property is very quiet and sets the vibe just right for anyone visiting with their friends. Will recommend to everyone in the future!

amazing choice of place to stay. had a beautiful time in kabirs stay. would suggest to any one who are visiting north goa

Absolutely one of the best bnb experiences we’ve had. The villa is spacious with plenty amenities and Manisha Ji takes care of everything— she was extremely helpful and kind. The shared pool, intended for 9 villas, is big in size and definitely our most precious moments were spent there. Location is also perfect, lots of attractions within 5 km of the property. Would love to visit again :)

Ekta responded very well, she is good host. place u can feel like home. Worth to stay with family.

Anju's BnB proved to be an ideal haven for our beach getaway. Its strategic location offered unparalleled access to the vibrant coastline, with Baga, Calangute, Morjim, Candolim and Vagator all within easy reach. The apartment was impeccably maintained, offering a comfortable and relaxing ambiance. We especially cherished the private balcony overlooking the lush garden, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere. A special thanks to her house caretaker Chandan, the ever-helpful caretaker. His warm hospitality and genuine concern for our well-being made a lasting impression. He was readily available.

This was one of the best stays I have had in my long history of travel. The apartment is situated in a well maintained society in a cozy calm neighborhood. It is however at center of all that is happening in North Goa. Its 10 mins away from the beach, and 30 mins away both from Heritage city of Panjim in South and the beautiful Morjim beach in North. The apartment is very well furnished, and we felt being home away from home. Illoosh has given a personal artistic touch to the house that we enjoyed thoroughly. Her love for Goa reflected in her recommendations for experiences for us to try. We had an extended stay here and worked remotely for a few weeks. The reception on phone wasn't great but a stable Wifi enabled us to work without any major interruptions. Thank you Illoosh and Mallika for making our stay so comfortable and memorable. Would love to be back and stay in Goa with them as our hosts.
