28 Seconds Walk to Beach
We cannot save enough good things about Lisa's place- we didn't want to leave. The place had the best location! Described as 28 steps to the beach, it really is that! I was looking for a beachfront property, and this was just that. The beach was also easy to get to, unlike some of the other listings. The home was very clean and comfortable- it had a lot of high tech items, like the Lululemon exercise mirror, the table that is a high/low, standing or sitting, the sleep number beds, the restroom mirrors/shower. Lots of items were included to ensure an amazing stay-- binoculars for whale watching, sand toys on the patio, and aquarium passes. So very thoughtful! Lisa was very responsive, and I really appreciate the later checkout upon request. I wasn't feeling well that last full day and was really grateful. We were also lucky that we got to be here when the heated pools were available! My absolute favorite part was the views and proximity to the beach!

Cozy Room with "Private" Entrance, quiet neighbhd
Yuhui’s place was a great find for a quick weekend trip! We were looking for a clean and quiet neighborhood nearby Stanford and this place was perfect. Yuhui is super responsive, gave us helpful directions, and provided us with recommendations on places we could check out within the area. The neighborhood is super quiet, and the parking was safe and easy. There may not always be parking available directly outside the Airbnb, but sometimes it’ll be a short walk. We didn’t mind since there’s quite a bit of nature to enjoy. Notable things for this stay were the really large bathroom, high pressure shower, and comfy bed. We were also able to enjoy some of our favorite Netflix shows available on the TV guest profile. Would definitely stay here again!

Luxurious Sea Crest Oceanview Villa- by Main Beach
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.

Perfect Beach House in Santa Cruz Boardwalk
Great place to spend your summer. We stayed here for over a month and enjoyed proximity to beach and boardwalk. Would love to be back here sometime

ShoreThing: 3 mins to beach, remodeled kitchen
We enjoyed our stay at Its a Shore Thing!! The home has been updated so nicely! We all felt right at home as we enjoyed fun evenings and a great launching pad for our day excursions!! Being a quick walk from the beach was fabulous!!

Emey was very accommodating and nice to work with during a challenging time in our lives. She went above and beyond a good host. The Townhouse is beautiful and very comfortable in a great location. We highly recommend this Airbnb!

In the Heart of Capitola Village
Debbie and Mitch's spacious condo is a comfy and convenient place to stay when in Capitola. My family of 5 (three little kids) felt right at home as soon as we arrived. Check-in was a breeze, and communication with the hosts was equally easy. Our kids loved the assortment of board games, and the variety of sand toys for the beach. The hosts truly thought of everything a family might need for their stay, including a kitchen well-stocked with all the tools for cooking our own meals. But if we wanted to eat out, we could walk to many great restaurants and shops, or take a 3-5 minute drive to even more great locations. We'd definitely stay here again- thanks so much, Debbie and Mitch!

Spacious home by 49ers stadium+shops, work remote
Sara’s townhome is a great place to stay. It was quiant and comfortable. We were within walking distance of Levi’s Stadium and very close to grocery shopping and restaurants. I hope to stay here again for another game at Levi’s Stadium! Thanks, Sara, for your hospitality, attention to detail, and kindness!

Nice Top Floor 2 Master Suites Executive Townhouse
We had a great experience with Jessica and the property. The space was setup to be very comfortable right from the beginning. The amenities and layout were similar to hotel stays, with towels, soaps, body washes, toothbrushes, etc. all laid in each bathroom. The space itself provides plenty of space with three levels, so even with a few people in the home there's more than enough room to work and relax. Jessica was very prompt in communication and was able to assist with all our requests and changes. Thank you very much.

Capitola Retreat!
This is an awesome place to stay!! Literally less than 5 mins to walk to heart of Capitola wharf, surfing & restaurants, yet quietly tucked away on the river. They had a canoe and launch site right there at the house, plus we brought kayaks & surf boards. Beautiful, shady, quiet area to canoe/kayak that feels very private, as no public access on river. House fit the 6 of us well. All beds and furniture a bit worn, but super comfortable!! Kitchen has what you need to cook and eat with, but no supplies of spices, etc…You have to provide all, but if you forget, like us, Safeway, Nob Hill, even local liquor store had milk/creamer, condiments, etc…had it all & very close. Car port only fit a smaller car & rest of us used the local lot that was a 5 min walk away if you take the back streets, but you do have to pay daily for that lot. Overall, great trip and great house, the privacy feel yet literally just around the corner from the heart of town was such a blessing for our family get away!

Bright stylish two story three bedroom townhouse
We stayed there for 2 weeks coming from Europe to visit family. We could set up a fully functioning household with no effort, feeling safe and comfortable right away. Holiday feeling started in comfy beds, generous bathrooms and a kitchen fully equipped for real use. We liked the big dining table and the unbelievable sound- and entertainment equipment in the living area. The host was available and actively engaged in caring for the house and for us. So it was easy to spend a wonderful time and keep this great house in good condition.

Henry's place was a wonderful discovery! This cozy apartment suite came equipped with all the essential amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. The spacious living areas and bedroom provided plenty of room to relax, and the accessible porch was a delightful bonus. It had everything one could expect from a short-stay accommodation. I’d absolutely love to return for my future trips to the area!

Cozy home close to everything! 1-kg and 3-qn beds
Overall, I have great things to say about this place. We stayed for a little over two months and throughout our stay Mony was always responsive. The neighborhood was safe and the home was nice. We requested to extend our stay a couple times on short notice and Mony was able to accommodate. It is nice and spacious inside as well. I definitely recommend staying here if you get the chance. Mony will provide nice local recommendations as well 👍
