Victorian Beach House Santa Cruz
Perfect place to stay. Great for kiddos with a park across the street. Beach, boardwalk, shops and restaurants are all close by. We loved our stay here!!

Seaside home minutes from Monterey and Carmel
Cozy beach town spot. Very clean and close to everything we needed on our stay. Would book again.

Pacific Grove Mid Century Near Beach
We loved this place. Didn’t want to leave! Very cool vibe and great location. Definitely recommend.

Classic Beach House - Walk to Seacliff Beach
Place was great--fit our needs perfectly. Recommend opening windows at night to bring in that beautiful fresh air. Our 4.5 yo was absolutely over the moon by all the activities outside in the yard-- very well equipped area for adults and kids alike! The sand toys were also a hit--we loved walking to the beach and appreciated how well written the instructions were. Just took a photo of them and went on our way. Only bummer is the lack of sidewalks in Aptos, but most cars do seem to watch for walkers. Marianne's ice cream is great, and tamales across the street also fantastic. Weather cooperated and the easy access to Santa Cruz and Monterey made this location ideal. Colm was a great host--responded immediately to any questions I had. Very thankful for this spring break trip--we truly feel rejuvenated!

Seabright Beach House
Can't give this place enough stars to do it justice. Great location, great food and beaches nearby, close to the boardwalk. Fantastic host. Will definitely be back!

The Coop
Clean, comfy, and conveniently located for our road trip to Santa Cruz and the coast. We walked to shops, the marina, and the beach during our stay. The large dining table was great for playing Yahtzee while Alexa served up our favorite tunes on demand. Al, the maintenance guy who lives next door, introduced himself the first day of our stay, gave us his card, and offered to support whatever we needed—but we didn’t need much. A previous guest left a broken corkscrew, and I could've called Al. Instead, I walked to Day’s Market Liquors & Deli and bought a $5 replacement, along with freshly made chicken tamales that were absolutely delicious.

Wave House by the Beach for Two!
Amazing stay at the Wave house! It was very clean and comfortable. We loved the location, it was close to everything. Greg was very helpful. This beautiful home was definitely worth it!

Home Away from Home Visit Monterey
Very cozy place to stay and loved the quick walking distance to the market for snacks! Dennis was extremely hospitable and the fresh eggs were a great bonus!

Le Bijou at Toujours Maison
This was the perfect place for me and my husband to celebrate our honeymoon at. It was so quaint and charming. I wanted to stay there forever! The place was a quick 15 minute walk to most of the restaurants and shops available in Carmel and the beach was close by too! Michele was also so sweet and easy to talk to! She let us borrow some beach chairs and always was so lovely to chat with. Hope to be back here soon!

A Cozy Homely Apt Near Monterey
The apartment is quiet, clean, and cozy. Perfect for a couples getaway. We also loved how the property is conveniently nearby all the sights! We came to Seaside to visit Carmel, Monterey Bay Aquarium, Old Fisherman’s Wharf, and Pebble Beach.

Adorable 2 bed/1 bath West Side Santa Cruz home
We loved our stay and hope to stay here again in future. Wonderful neigborhood- lots to walk to and close to UCSC.

Sunny, modern/contemporary one-bedroom.
Well-stocked, simply furnished bungalow-type attached residence in the Seabright neighborhood, convenient to the northeastern residential sections of Santa Cruz and to supermarkets and natural food stores. Many new, easy-to-operate small appliances and good laundry set-up. Ample kitchenware and condiments. Quiet city surroundings, easy parking. Overall, staying at the unit (and interacting with owner) was a pleasure.

Bay & Beach Neighborhood Apartment
Great hosts, great location. I will definitely stay here again when in Monterey.

Aloha Apartment w/Spa
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We appreciated that it is independently owned, including the community activism to give back. The location was great, we were able to walk to the beach for dinner; and a short drive to the college and other areas.

Comfy Capitola Village Condo,walk to all the fun!
The place was comfortable and cozy. The decor was retro-vintage 80's-90's. Dan was quickly responsive to an outside lighting situation.

Bombora Apartment Capitola Beach Village
We had a great weekend getaway and the location is very close to all the downtown fun without being so close that it's loud. The overall accomadations were super comfortable and inviting. Can't wait to visit again.

Seascape Ocean View Condo
Very much enjoyed our stay. Beautiful surroundings, very kid-friendly location, and lots to do around the area. The grocery store across the street was very convenient.

Seascape Resort Villa Beautiful Ocean View Sleep 6
We had a wonderful short getaway at Sue’s place! The condo is just steps from the beach, pool, and jacuzzi. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves was relaxing, and the ocean breeze was very refreshing. It was exactly what we needed to reset and recharge. Everything was just as described, and we would stay here again! Thank you, Sue!

Beachfront Tranquility
We had such a relaxing time! So close to the beach, loved being able to walk out the door and be at the ocean. We could hear the waves at night. Sunsets were beautiful. The condo was perfect for us, had everything we needed! Great place to stay!

2B/2B Pajaro Dunes with Dunes and Ocean View
The beach was amazing, especially being able to walk out the door and only take a few steps to get there. The snack shop is limited but had some staples so it was definitely nice to bring some easy meals and we cooked most of them there. My had some basics there that made cooking easier (salt, oil, etc). Our two teenagers enjoyed having their own full bed. Stay here - great deal for a clean space.

Seaview Condo - 150 Steps to the beach!
Always a great time at this condo! It is so close to the beach that even my baby did not have a problem going back and forth! Clean and bright, beautiful views.

Seascape Oceanv hot tub, pool, EV, Aptos, Cruz
The view from this property was extraordinary with amazing sunsets from the deck each night. The location was perfect to visit Santa Cruz one day and Pinnacles National Park the next. The host was very responsive. We’ll definitely save this to our wishlist.

Welcome to Harbor House. Your Favorite Home at the Beach.
This was in an excellent location for walking to both the beach and various restaurants. I appreciated that ample linens and towels were provided. The living room was very comfortable, and the water pressure in the shower was great. There were thoughtful touches, like providing tea, bottled water, and blueberry muffins upon my arrival. The host was extremely responsive and helped me to arrange retrieving an important item I left behind. I would book this location again.

Aptos Condo with Spectacular Ocean Views
Exceeded expectations; stunning ocean views; cozy and comfortable; loved the area and the laid-back vibe; we had everything we needed ( and didn’t know that we needed). Thoughtful and welcoming host.
