Santa Cruz : locations de vacances en bord de mer

Sarah’s cottage was perfect for the two of us. Super clean and comfy accommodations with everything we needed for the long weekend. We enjoyed relaxing in the cute backyard to breathe in the fresh ocean air while sipping a glass of wine, or two. Short walk to the harbor and other stores made it easy for us to grab the few items we forgot back home. The chai tea and electric kettle were great surprises to warm us up each morning. We highly recommend Sarah’s cottage and we thank Sarah for providing us with a great place to have a relaxing weekend.

Beautiful private guest cottage behind the main house. Nice private deck with amazing ocean views. Cozy cottage with full kitchen, living area, bedroom and bathroom. The host Katcha as always very responsive and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

This is a great little studio that is close to the beach (a 5 min walk) and I will definitely be coming back soon! It’s a small studio with a cute little patio. The neighborhood is quiet and you are close to town.

It was a nice stay! It felt like home. The neighbourhood is very quiet and at the same time, it is in a walkable distance to the ocean (~6 min). 5 bikes were a very nice addition to our activities!

Laura’s place was spot on for our short stay. Beach was a stones throw away, which is where the kids wanted to spend their time. The place was perfect, it was clean, spacious, and well equipped. Detailed instructions for the apartment to go alongside the stay and useful local information.

This was our 2nd visit to Petra and David’s home. We enjoyed our stay so much that we came back to celebrate my dad’s birthday again! My dogs felt right at home when we entered. Such an easy check-in and check-out process. Great communication from the hosts! It’s a short walk to the dog friendly Seabright Beach. It’s an even shorter walk to the Boardwalk. Downtown is even walkable, but we chose to drive 5 minutes to get to restaurants and shops. The home was stocked with essentials. We’ll miss waking up to the Boardwalk view from the upstairs balcony. We hope to visit again soon!

Clean, well-appointed, spacious home less than a block from the beautiful Twin Lakes Beach. You can see the beach from chairs on the front lawn. We were lucky enough to be there during the lighted boat parade (first Saturday in December), so we watched the lighted boats in the water from the front yard. Everything was easily accessible. The home includes many amenities (washer/dryer, cooking supplies, games, pack n play). The room with the bunk beds has a separate bathroom, making it really nice for families with older kids. Great stay and I hope we can return.

Fantastic airbnb and a great location. easy walk to 41st Ave for coffee, food and shopping. We also walked to Capitola, east cliff drive and the beach. Cute backyard, fully fenced, great for our little dogs. We also enjoyed the sauna, comfy living room with a nice TV, board games, and a record player with lots of albums to choose from.

Our 5 day stay was great. Felt right at home. Great location w an amazing view. Place was nice and clean. We found beach gear as well that’s provided by the host. We were greated with complimentary snacks and bottled bubbly water. Kitchen had everything needed to cook if need be. We will definitely be coming back once the opportunity comes around.

This was a great condo that was really convenient for my family's little spring break vacation. We had our toddler with us as well as our parents. There are beautiful paths around the grounds of the resort and only a five to ten minute walk to get down to the beach. The condo had a beach wagon, towels, and beach toys for us to borrow. There is also a footwash fountain right next to the condo which made cleanup really easy. In the evening we watched the sunset from the balcony. Overall the place was really clean but very cozy with lots of amenities, and David answered all of our questions within minutes. The parents loved it so much they want to make it a tradition, so maybe we will be back someday!

Fantastic location with phenomenal views! The unit was clean and cozy and we had everything we needed for a great weekend away.

We had a great time at Seascape. The home was right by the beach and playground, also central location to lots of places by Santa Cruz and Monterey. The home was spacious for three adults, a toddler and baby. It was also very clean and comfortable. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful setting and very private. The ocean view from the house is truly breathtaking. We enjoyed watching surfers being towed in by jet skis to ride the waves. The beach was great and we enjoyed going for walks and collecting sea glass and sand dollars. We even got to see people on horseback on the beach. The layout of the house is wonderful and we had everything we needed. The beds are very comfortable and it was nice to be able to control the temperatures in individual rooms. This is a really special place and we are really happy we were able to stay for three nights. Our daughter is a student at CSUMB, and we hope to make this our spot when we come up from San Diego to visit. Thank you for being so responsive and helpful.

Staying at Seascape was the perfect kid-friendly vacation. The pool was easy to access from our condo and the views were beautiful. The condo's set-up with two bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs and a half bath downstairs was great for our family of 5. The private beach was beautiful - we saw otters, whales, and my son found two perfect sand dollars walking down the beach. It was a little bit of a trek to get down to the beach with three little kids and all the beach gear, but once we were there no one wanted to leave. Several near-by restaurants were delicious, especially the newly opened Dos Pescados. It was fairly easy to get into Santa Cruz too, but we did have to time traffic or it would double the drive time (to almost 45 minutes).

Everything was advertised. This unit had it all. Very comfortable for 2 or 3 couples. The location was spectacular.

The place is great! Beautiful location and great access to private beach. It’s one room as described, equipped kitchen and dining. Although it says for 4 people, 2 people have to use the sofas to sleep. Good for couple and 2 children. I would definitely recommend this place and location.

We had an amazing 4 night stay, the condo was in a great location and was well stocked with everything we needed. You can tell that Jo is an experienced super host, every little detail was thought of. We had cool weather but even when we stayed indoors, we were able to enjoy the beautiful views right from the living room. It was a short 10-15 min drive to anywhere we wanted to go in town to get food or supplies. The beds were also very comfortable. We’d definitely stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay at Mel’s house in Aptos! The home was incredibly comfortable, offering stunning views and an unbeatable location right by the beach, cafés, and restaurants. We didn’t need to use our car at all—there were plenty of beautiful walks nearby. The house itself had absolutely everything we needed, and it was clear that a lot of thought had gone into every detail. Mel was exceptionally responsive, especially when we had a small accident during our stay. She handled everything thoughtfully and considerately. Highly recommend this Airbnb!

This is our second stay at this property. We occupied two units. There is always plenty of space, and it was clean and ready to go. We enjoyed the little details: plush towels, the “nice” TP, etc :) Thanks for hosting us - we’d come back if you’ll have us.

A unique and gorgeous house with great views and easy access to the beach. This house had that perfect mix for a rental, very clean with owners things put away but still has everything you need - kitchen supplies, games, etc. The fireplace was lovely on cold, windy mornings. And the location is perfect. Short drive south to Monterey and north to Santa Cruz gave us lots of options for entertaining the kids!

We had an amazing trip with our daughters family! We all absolutely loved the house and the area, and can't wait to come back and stay again!!! Janet was more than willing to do anything to make our stay perfect! It was my 50th birthday and she even hung up Happy Birthday banner for me :-) Thank you, Janet for everything! We really enjoyed your home and can't wait to stay again!!!!!

Jim was extremely friendly and kept out of the way - that is he out doing his activities and when our paths crossed we chatted about things. The place was clean and all our needs were met without any problems. We plan on returning next year.

Marc’s beach view condo was absolutely beautiful. Spent a girls weekend there and it was very comfortable for three people. Kitchen was fully stocked, fireplace was nice and cozy. He was very flexible with our check-in time. I highly recommend this place if you’d like a peaceful location & quite beautiful ocean view. This is a perfect location in between Santa Cruz and Monterey/Carmel.

The house was lovely and the location was perfect for us. We enjoyed being so close to the beach and walking to local restaurants. The house doesn’t have a dining table but we used the card table provided in the garage and that was fine for us. We would definitely return!
