Beautiful Large 4BR Home with POOL

TrishRating, 5 stars3 days ago
This spacious home was absolutely beautiful for our stay! We especially appreciated the amenities that the home provided. Specifically, the pool and vast dining spaces were a perfect match for our large family. The location was in a quiet neighborhood, central to the attractions we wanted to see including downtown San Fransisco and the Winchester house. The homeowner was great with communication throughout the booking and check in/out process. Overall, we had a lovely stay in this gorgeous home.

Relax Watch Waves Crash Chic + Modern 3BD

BetsyRating, 5 stars4 days ago
The decor was delightful! Very well outfitted with everything you need.beds super comfy. Really good size. We had more than enough room. I appreciate that Crystal saw no issue with my service dog joining us. I was a bit disappointed that you had to be on the balcony to see the beach. There was a complex in the front blocking most of the view from indoors. I also had issue with parking. The garage was only for small cars and the street parking was inconsistent and required several steps. My handicapped daughter found it a bit difficult. The area was not easily walked being on a very very steep hill. I wish there were more info in the description. All in all, it was a gorgeous place and really clean, highly recommend for non handicapped folks.

Toro Park Sunshine

MikeRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We were in town for a weekend of trail racing and Valentina's place was perfect. It was less than a mile from our event at Toro Park and on a nice, quiet street. The place was very comfortable and the outdoor area was excellent for recovery and relaxing on Saturday. The beds were comfy and there was plenty of room for 5 of us. Valentina was very responsive throughout the entire process, I really appreciated her. Great place to stay!

The house was great for our family stay. Lots of space, all on one level, and beautiful outdoor space. We travelled with our kids and they had a great time in the pool :) Note there is extra cost if you want the pool to be heated. Thanks for a great stay!

SevvanthieRating, 5 stars5 days ago
I had a great stay here with my daighter and german shepherd. It was great to have the beach all to ourselves every morning by walking just a block over. The house was beautiful, comfortable, and the greenery outside was wonderful. Would definitely stay again!

Quiet Beach Cottage in the heart of Capitola

LynneRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This home was perfect for our family of 5. The two younger boys were comfortable in the sofa bed., while the adults had their own queen beds with their own bathrooms. The place was clean and fully stocked with all of our needs. We were only there for a weekend, but would re-book for a longer stay next time❤️

Peaceful & Private Seabright, 1 mile from beach

AlexRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I had a most wonderful stay at this peaceful and lovely hideaway. The place was ideal and so convenient—to the beach, to Santa Cruz's sights, and walkable spaces—but as perfect as it was, Ron and Nikki were the perfect hosts. Helpful ahead of check-in, responsive and full of great suggestions once I was in, and when I needed to help out a relative, extremely understanding and accommodating. Can't wait to come back!

Overall we had a great time. You can’t beat the location, and it accommodated my husband, toddler and myself well. Description is accurate. We had a great time, two houses away from West Cliff, pretty amazing.

Great stay in a cozy, comfortable and well equipped cottage. The walking distance to the beach was just right. Check in was easy and we were offered a late check out that we really appreciated. We will definitely stay here again next time we are in town.

The Artists' Tree House

LexiRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Really great location in the red woods. Perfect place to spend a quiet weekend. The kitchen was well equipped. The fridge had a whole entertainment component built in so it was nice to use to play music in the kitchen. The outdoor space is super private and the hot tub is so peaceful. Bathroom is nice. Shower is spacious. Comfortable sleeping options. Overall a clearly well loved and taken care of space.

Lovely Home in the Redwoods

RyanRating, 5 stars1 month ago
A lovely little cabin in the rustic Lompico hills just outside of Felton. The open floor plan makes the cabin feel very roomy, and the bright interior, together with lots of natural light, makes the place feel very cheery and welcoming. The property sits on a half-acre of gently sloping land ringed by redwoods, it's gorgeous and peaceful. Our dog loved roaming, sniffing around and playing fetch with the tennis balls left by the host. Getting there is quite easy, just follow the host's directions...the narrow mountain road might seem a little daunting at first, but we got the hang of it quickly. About 5 minutes down the road is the Zayante general store for necessities and Felton proper is about 10 minutes away. Loch Lomond is also about 10 minutes away. Lompico is a beautiful area with a cool history (look it up!) and the perfect place to unwind. Thanks for having us!

Redwood Treehouse Retreat

MelissaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We loved our stay! The location was ideal for us, just a few minutes from a beautiful redwoods park and a short drive to the coast. This part of California is tucked away from the busy crowds of the Bay Area and feels remote. The Loma Mar outpost offers basic provisions and a restaurant a few minutes from the house, and Pescadero has a strip of shops and restaurants about ten minutes away. The house is lovely and comfortable, very peaceful.

Updated Westside home. 4 blocks from the beach!

LeslieRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We so enjoyed staying at Ian‘s place. The house was very comfortable and is located in a great neighborhood. It’s quiet and I so enjoyed taking my dogs for a daily walk. The home is close to some great restaurants and a wonderful park where we found a friendly Pickleball community. The area is also quite bike friendly and we took a ride with some great views of the ocean. The Co-host, Ryan, was very helpful and great about getting back to me. We hope to come back again.

Redwood Retreat (Private Studio) Carbonera Estates

DebraRating, 5 stars2 days ago
We had an amazing stay at Lisa's place. It is in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood with easy access to downtown, beaches and hiking. They have done a beautiful job with the space. It feels like a boutique hotel. They have thought of everything! There were snacks, wine, coffee, travel size toiletries and even fresh flowers! Lisa is a generous and welcoming host and we would stay at their retreat again in a heartbeat.
