Holiday rentals with a patio in Aptos Hills-Larkin Valley

I felt right at home. It was nice to get away for my daughter’s graduation from UCSC. The drive to the graduation wasn’t bad at all. I loved being near the water and was able to walk to the cliff side for a beautiful sunset view. I’ll definitely stay here again.

Beautiful newly decorated unit. Very clean many nice details

Had a great weekend at Matthew’s place. Very quiet and peaceful. Perfect for 2 people and it was very updated and clean. Will definitely be staying here again

We stayed at the apartment while our house was getting remodeled. The location is great—walking distance to shops and restaurants. The bed was comfortable, and the patio was a great addition. The first-floor location and the large trees make the apartment cooler, but also a little dark. Overall, we had a good stay, and Cosme has been very responsive and flexible with our change of plans!

Great communication from airbnb host. I stay here quite frequently, always very clean. Parking always available, washer and dryer available. Internet available. Definitely recommend. 5 stars

I would recommend this place to my friends and family if you are looking to stay in a very cute beach town! You are smack dab in the middle of it all at capitola here. They have surf boards and a boogie board for you to use, we used the surf boards (I rented my wetsuit from ONeill for $10! Don't do the one that's accross the street for 36 if you're strapped for money and have a car just go to oniell!) The apartment was perfect and it comes with a cute backstory about the mom that bought the place many moons ago. The apartment also came with bikes but we love walking so much so we never used them! The beds we SO comfy too!

Cute and clean in-law apartment located in a quaint and quiet neighborhood with walking distance to local hot spots. The host was accommodating and easy to communicate with. She responded quickly when questions arose. I would recommend this place for a great stay in Santa Cruz!

We had an amazing stay at Howard’s Place! Literally steps from the beach. Howard was very communicative and always responded if we reached out to him. The community is also amazing! We had an issue with the blinds not working and they came the next day and fixed them. They provide wheelbarrows for luggage and have a private pond. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks Howard!

Great host overall. He responded to our messages in a timely manner and goes out of his way to try and help with accommodations. Place was clean and peaceful felt just like home. Would love to stay here again in the future.

Tung’s house was fantastic for my family! The house was VERY clean and had such great amenities! I would stay here again!

Beautiful location, very clean and place was perfect for me and my family. Will be booking again

As mentioned by others, the place is super comfortable, has a lot of amenities and is super close to the boardwalk and the downtown area. However, what really stood out to us was the host’s hospitality. They were super accommodating when we mentioned we’d be getting to Santa Cruz a little early and if we could use the bikes to go cruise around in the meantime. We only stayed for one night, but were able to enjoy a full day of fun because of that. We rode to Brommer park, played pickleball, went back to check in, headed out to eat, walked around and then went back to enjoy the spa and ping pong table. The whole house was spacious and the beds were super comfortable. Definitely recommend David’s place.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful and peaceful space with us. Everything felt clean and welcoming. We absolutely loved the view and the easy access right to the beach.

We were impressed by how clean the house was. It was a great location to walk to some restaurants and the coast. We parked one van street side and one van in the driveway as it was really tight to get out of the car on one area of the drive. There were chairs, bikes, and beach towels available. We didn’t get a chance to use the hot tub or fire pit. Wish we had more time there. We had one issue but Veronica was quick to reply and resolve it. We would stay again!

Felt like a gem in the mountains. The modern amenities made it very comfortable. The host was very prompt with their responses and easy to communicate with. I felt so at home in this little cottage. I'm ready for my next visit.

Had a Great stay, Annay was more than helpful and accomodating and would recommend to anyone considering.

I had a wonderful stay! The place was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. The hosts were incredibly kind and responsive, making sure I had everything I needed for a comfortable visit. You can really tell they care about their guests and take pride in providing a great experience. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and well-managed place to stay. Thank you for everything!

Our favorite part was the walk to the expansive beach. The resort is very nice, and the condo was great.

We had a wonderful stay. It is a beautifully designed space that had everything we needed to relax, cook nice meals, sleep well and enjoy the beach which was a minutes walk away. It allowed us to really relax and enjoy our time there- only three days but felt like we were at home! Highly recommend

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.

We had a fantastic stay at David’s place! The home was clean, comfortable, and just a short walk to the beach—perfect for a relaxing getaway. The location was ideal, and everything was exactly as described. David was a responsive and helpful host, making check-in and communication seamless. One of the best parts was how well-stocked the Airbnb was for a beach day—it included a sand wagon, ice chest bag, umbrella, shade tent, and other beach essentials, which made everything super convenient. We really appreciated those thoughtful touches and look forward to visiting again!

This place was perfect! Views as promised!! Clean, smartly decorated, special touches like a makeup mirror, toilet area separate from the sink, shower, comfortable bed and soft linens, throw blankets for comfort, 2 huge TVs , Nice restaurants within walking distance, pool, beach, trails, observation platform…. We totally loved it here! Would highly recommend and would go again if the opportunity arises. Unfortunately we had to leave early…. I’m still sad about that! But no fault of theirs! Owners were very responsive, helpful and positive.

Nice and clean airbnb. It was an amazing stay by the beach. Highly recommend.

The location of the condo was superb. The few minute walk to the beach was so convenient and the view was breathtaking. Everything was clean inside and the parking garage was directly around the corner. I would come here again.
