Seascape Resort Ocean View Studio-Amazing View!

SagayarajRating, 5 stars2 months ago

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.

2 bdrm Bungalow 3 blocks from the Beach

JillRating, 5 stars1 month ago

This was, by far, the best air bnb we have ever stayed in. In addition, Kim and Pam were fantastic and couldn’t have made our stay any better. They thought of everything to make a couple or family feel right at home. Everything was spotless, plenty of basics such as towels, linens, blankets to make your stay so cozy. And the beds, they were heaven. Great night’s sleep is definitely to be had. We used the fireplace inside when we arrived as it was chilly. Just perfect touch. Walk in shower is great. So nice to have two bathrooms, one with tub. Walking distance to beach. We went there every day with our dog. Very dog friendly area; you will encounter many daily. We appreciated the privacy and fenced yard, lovely entertaining area and the hammock was great. I highly recommend cloud gazing. Thank you, Kim and Pam for a truly memorable stay. We had the best time and you helped make it that way :)

Charming cottage in westside SC 2 blks from beach

KristinaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cozy cottage. An added bonus not mentioned in the description is the fabulous shower. For a small house, the size, cleanliness, and unlimited hot water of the shower is terrific!

Hawaiian Beach House-1 block beach-Family Friendly

JessicaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Every detail of this home was incredibly well thought out. There’s truly nothing you’ll need, it’s fully stocked with everything from games for the kids to all the cooking utensils you could want, and the beds are extremely comfortable. The patio and entry garden are absolutely stunning. The decor is perfect; every little detail was considered, and it really shows. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish- what a treat. I’m going to go home and redecorate with a Hawaii theme 😏

Rio Del Mar Beach House

JacquieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Our stay here was amazing. The view was awesome, location was perfect and it was the perfect place to stay with two little ones. The beds and furniture were all so comfy and the backyard was a great spot to hang out. Being right on the beach was so relaxing, and hearing the waves at night was priceless. We’ll definitely be back.

Spruce Beach Cottage - Walk to beach

KristianaRating, 5 stars6 days ago

We really enjoyed our stay here—the house is just as beautiful as the photos and in a great location, super close to the beach. It had everything we needed and felt really cozy. They even provided a baby gate, which was a thoughtful touch. A few things to note for future guests: the interior doors only lock from the outside, so our kiddo could still open them even when “locked.” The curtains weren’t blackout at all, so it stayed pretty bright inside. The gate to the backyard would blow open on windy days, but there were bricks available to help keep it closed. There was also construction two doors down that started around 7:40 a.m. every day, and we did notice some hair on the bathroom ceiling, which was a bit strange. But overall, we had a great time and definitely plan to come back! The home is lovely, in a fantastic spot, and made for a great getaway.

Cottage in Felton

Private Cottage with a View

KimberlyRating, 5 stars2 months ago

This was my third stay- whenever I want to go off the grid but have all of the comforts of home, this is the first place I think of (I’d probably have more stays here but I am pretty much a spontaneous booker, so Vicki’s place isn’t always available when I want a local getaway). If you’re not local, it’s also a great home base for everything Santa Cruz County has to offer. Vicki is an excellent host and I highly recommend!

Peaceful & Private Seabright, 1 mile from beach

BridgetRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Nikki and Ron are incredible hosts with the perfect Santa Cruz cottage! They go above and beyond to ensure that guests are comfortable. This is by far the cleanest Airbnb we have ever stayed in - every room and surface both inside and outside was spotless. We loved the serenity of the cottage, the fenced backyard with lots of very comfortable seating, and that everything we could possibly think of needing in a kitchen or a rental home is provided. Well appointed cottage and comfortable bed & linens & couches. Another bonus is the massive grass + fenced park just a 2 minute walk away for the dogs to run around. We would love to stay here again!

Seascape 407 was beyond our expectations. Down to every detail. We did not want for any amenities. Perfect view. Perfect host. Would be my first choice any time we plan to visit.

Seascape Resort Villa Beautiful Ocean View Sleep 6

LenaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

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!

Beach Front Villa at Seascape Resort

KateRating, 5 stars9 months ago

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.
