Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Santa Cruz County

Sara was the one of the most welcoming and generous Airbnb hosts we’ve ever had. The home was immaculately clean, her instructions were detailed and gave us all the info we needed, her communication with us was kind and prompt, the hot tub was clean and cozy. Sara gave us lots of referrals for local shops and restaurants, and she provided a thoughtful welcome gift. We were also impressed with/grateful for Sara allowing our dogs to relax on the couches! We were particularly appreciative that Sara was completely understanding about/accommodating of our reactive dog, which put us at ease and helped us enjoy our stay. The neighborhood was quiet and cute, and we were very close to a beach for our dogs. Thank you Sara for an excellent weekend getaway! We can’t recommend you and your home enough!

A quiet, clean and comfortable place to stay for a group of 3 adults while exploring the area. The hosts gave us clear instructions and met us as soon as we arrived in the early evening. They stayed in communication with us during our stay. Felton is a small town with a couple of local cafes and grills and an overall relaxed atmosphere. Scott’s Valley, just 10 minutes away, is a bit busier but has many more food options if desired. We had excellent meals in both places. We enjoyed several hikes in a magnificent redwood park is just minutes away by foot or vehicle. We also enjoyed a visit with cousins in San Jose about 40 minutes away. A wonderful vacation experience overall!

We had a wonderful stay. The views were unmatched from every room. The space was very clean and there were many amenities provided. Local restaurants and stores were conveniently close by.

Beautiful house. Great location. Sean was very responsive and veery keen to ensure our experience was trouble free.

I always choose to stay at Emrehans when I need a place near San Jose. Very beautiful, clean home/yard, great location. Emrehan communicates well and has been very accommodating to me. Very good price for the stay. Would recommend.

We have stayed at many Airbnb’s and this is now one of our favorite. So clean and neat! Not a lot of clutter so there was plenty of space for our things. Vic and Leanne obviously take great pride in their property and accommodating their guests. Everything you could want was waiting for us, including coffee and creamers. Much appreciated! And we never realized what a luxury heated bathroom floors were! You cannot go wrong choosing this property. Highly recommended!

First off the photos don’t do this house justice. The spaces, including that wonderful balcony, are bigger than you think. We had 7 adults, a toddler & an infant and we didn’t feel cramped at all. The beds, linens and pillows were so comfy, the multitude of windows to let the ocean air breeze come through, along with fans in the bedrooms, were perfect. The kitchen was the most well equipped I’ve used in an Airbnb before. The wagon, chairs and beach towels were also so nice to have for the short one block walk to Black Beach (one of my favorites in Santa Cruz). Oh and do not let the 1 full bathroom for everyone scare you off. Having the 2 half baths made it all work and we never had an issue. My family LOVED this place and wants to come back so very much. We have spent 26 years coming to Santa Cruz almost annually and this was our best residential experience yet. Thank you to Kim and her Rental Mgr, Nancy, for taking care of us and communicating so well. This family highly recommends!

I love to get away...and this little gem is tucked away beneath the trees and fog...it was quiet and peaceful and felt secluded...easy to get to anything in town or even hop on 17 to head into Santa Cruz...Scotts Valley is an amazing little town with just enough to check any boxes you might need while away from home...the beds were comfy and kitchen perfectly appointed...coffee on the wrap around deck under the trees is just what was needed...I couldn't ask for more...this property, and these hosts, are always so accommodating and kind...

We had such a great time!! The property was super clean. Jaime was very responsive. She had something we needed under an hour delivered to the front door! The area was cool, walkable & safe, lots of restaurants, ocean just a couple of blocks away, and lots of local artisan shops to visit. The property looked like the pictures and two big windows that brought the sunlight in was really nice , too. Very nice vibes here. We will be back!

Highly recommended. A comfortable home with an incredible view! An easy walk to Soquel Ave. businesses, and a slightly longer walk downtown. Tara was very kind and made everything easy. Looking forward to coming back!

Clean, well organized and maintained condo. Lots of parking in the complex. Anthony was very responsive with clear instructions for check in and checkout and responded quickly to any questions we had. Overall, we had a wonderful long weekend stay at Anthony and Traci’s home !

Such a lovely and peaceful retreat. Steps to the beach. Howard was excellent with communication. Highly recommended

John's place is a gem at Seascape! Beautifully decorated, clean, ocean views, host left wine+snacks, hot tub on site, and everything one would need. Went for a birthday/mom's getaway weekend. Came back happy and relaxed!

What a great spot! Much bigger and has a much better layout than the photos lead on. It's our new favorite spot in SV

Everything you need is thoughtfully provided by the host, Ben. He also gave clear instructions on everything. Our family stayed for two nights and had a great time.

Clean, spacious property with lots of natural light and comfortable seating/bed. The street can be a little busy and larger trucks can be heard/felt as they drive by.

My family and I had an amazing stay at this Airbnb! The place was clean and well-maintained, which made it feel welcoming and comfortable. The view was absolutely stunning and added a special touch to the experience. On top of that, the host was outstanding—extremely responsive and genuinely committed to ensuring a great stay. They went above and beyond to accommodate any needs, which made everything seamless. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again!

The home was clean and very spacious. I was concerned about the cold weather but the house was so cozy. The pool was so close to us and very clean. The hot tub was wonderful. I loved that the home was so close to the water and we could hear the waves crashing. Everything about the home was amazing.

A minor issue with our original reservation was quickly resolved by the PowerWest Team. They responded immediately and went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of and had a perfect trip. The unit is a beautiful, well equipped condo with spectacular ocean front views. We will definitely visit again and stay with PowerWest.

We've been coming to Seascape for over 20 years now and this was one of the better locations for our family. It had grass access and beautiful ocean views. The kids loved the little seating area. Overall the location and space was everything we needed and more.

What a gem! We had a wonderful time at Steve’s house. The house is beautiful, functional and well decorated. The kitchen had everything we needed plus more. The property itself was incredible - private and peaceful with many activities for kids (and adults). The house is also ideally located close to downtown Los Gatos. Quick and kind responses from our host. We will definitely try and stay here again.

Beautiful views! Our family enjoyed our stay and the main floor layout was perfect for our extended family's get together. The pool table, foosball table and games were loved by adults and kids alike. A few family members did get car sick on the way to the house though (not the fault of the house or host by any means), so just be aware that it is a windy road to get up there.

Highly recommend this lovely spot if you’re anywhere in the Santa Cruz area. Jaimi and Beau are excellent hosts and have a clear attention to all sorts of details for that luxurious vibe while still feeling cozy, tranquil, and away from it all.

My fiancé and I had a wonderful stay. Full of beautiful views, great amenities. We loved the full kitchen and fireplace! The balcony/patio was my personal favorite! Great spot to enjoy the sunrise and a cup of coffee. The host was equally just as wonderful! Thank you for the experience!
