Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Santa Cruz County

What a special place - it is beautiful, had everything we needed, wanted, and more, and is clearly cared for with love. The garden was gorgeous, hot tub was perfect, best stocked kitchen of any Airbnb. Truly dog friendly, with personalized surprises and great art. Amazing location, walkable to the beach and to food and shops. Thanks Sara!

We really enjoyed our stay here! The place is clean and comfortable, with a lovely redwood tree in the back yard. It is very close to Henry Cowell State Park and the beautiful trails there. Felton's lovely downtown is close by as well. Tim was very nice and helpful. We highly recommend staying with Tim and Kathy!

Waren hier für eine Woche und es war absolut perfekt. Eine komplette Küchenausstattung, großer Kühlschrank mit Gefrierfach und Gasherd sorgten für Wohlbefinden. Natürlich sind auch Waschmaschine und Trockner verfügbar.

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.

This house fit our needs perfectly. We were able to easily walk to our seminar and cook our own meals in the kitchen. We really enjoyed our stay!

Vic and Leanne’s place was great. The location could not have been any better. Everything was super clean and comfortable. We can’t wait to come back again.

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!

Pleasant stay, nicely decorated and slept my family of 5 adults in comfort. Dog friendly as advertised but you would not know it because there was no smell or hair on our clothes. Walking distance to restaurants grocery store and coffee shop. This was my first time to rent a home form airbnb and I'd do it again based on this stay.

We had a great time staying in the Treetop Heaven "treehouse"! My wife and I loved the mountain feel of the environment without the excursion into the actual mountains. Amenities, shops, and restaurants are just a mile away and the area has a small town, community feel. Hosts were very attentive and made sure we knew they were available if we needed anything. The accommodations were perfect for the two of us and my wife especially enjoyed our meals on the deck hidden up in the trees! A great place for a getaway!

I chose this stay for my annual lady trip. We frequent the Aptos/Capitola/Santa Cruz area a lot for friends and family and chose this area for the beach/village convenience. Parking was great, I personally loved driving my truck up the small hill. Cameras were excellent for ensuring our safety! Easy to get in and easy access to both the parking/backyard and the village/beach via the small stairs. This place was loaded with amenities and was easy to use them. Loved the little radio for breakfast and clean up! The comforter on the king bed was out of this world comfy. The board games and photography books were a hit when hanging back at the airbnb for midday nights and late night chats with my girlies. Water pressure and heat was fantastic. Futons, king bed, space heater, and fireplace made for very cozy nights/early mornings. The large windows were great for views! Jaime was a great host, my group mentioned her communication and responsiveness was on point!

We had an amazing stay at Howard’s Place! Literally steps from the beach. Howard was very communicative and always responded if we reached out to him. The community is also amazing! We had an issue with the blinds not working and they came the next day and fixed them. They provide wheelbarrows for luggage and have a private pond. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks Howard!

I loved my stay at Pajaro Dunes. The only thing you could hear was the ocean. Easy beach access for long walks. Not crowded. Lovely space. Exactly what I needed!

Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay. Well equipped kitchen and it was fun to spend some time enjoying the view.

Maria Elena's studio apartment is perfect for two people. It is roomy and completely updated. The king size bed is comfortable and the mini-split heat/air conditioner is perfect for the changes in weather in San Jose. The neighborhood is peaceful, safe and walkable to a local grocery, coffee and restaurants. I recommend Maria Elena's apartment and will stay there again on my next trip to San Jose.

Ben's place was the perfect place for us to stay while visiting family in Santa Cruz. it's clean, quiet and comfortable and centrally located, so easy to get to everything. The space is very true to the pictures, the kitchen is fully functional with good appliances and all the necessary cookware and utensils for easily eating in. There are thoughtful touches throughout the house and Ben is friendly and communicative while also respectfully honoring his guests space. We felt safe and comfortable and would absolutely recommend Ben's place as well as stay here again.

This is my second stay here and it is a wonderful place to stay. The location, amenities, beautiful kitchen, and assigned parking are what keeps me coming back! Barnaby was easy to reach to troubleshoot any issues. The most perfect location in Capitola, there is also a cute delicious coffee shop/bakery just steps away! Definitely stay here if you get the chance to.

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.

I rented this house to celebrate my birthday with friends and it was such a beautiful, well sized space. The views were gorgeous and the accommodations were unique and perfect for what we needed. Overall such an amazing stay and would definitely consider coming back again.

Everything was perfect! This place was like a second home which offered everything we needed and more. We felt welcomed and immediately comfortable here. Our host Jane was responsive and kind. We will definitely come back!

Absolutely beautiful property, the views are incredible. The home was very clean, cozy and comfortable. It felt like a home away from home. Outside there are so many different places you can sit back and relax. Lisa and Chris were very responsive and welcoming.

This was one of the best Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed in. The home is exactly as described, spacious, beautifully decorated, and full of good energy. It had everything we could possibly need, and every room having its own bathroom was a huge plus. The entire house was spotless and incredibly well maintained, everything worked perfectly, which is rare to find. We especially loved spending our mornings in the backyard, listening to and watching the beautiful birds. Our hosts were truly wonderful, and we would love to return in the future!
