Vacation rentals with a hot tub in Santa Cruz County

This is our favorite place to stay in Santa Cruz. There are little markets walking distance, some restaurants but the best part is the ocean is right there 2minute walk! Also, if the ocean is too cold for us adults to get in, the house has a jacuzzi for us to enjoy in the evening. In the mornings, I enjoy sitting on the balcony listening to the birds and smelling the ocean breeze while I enjoy my hot cup of coffee. Great place to take the family. The host is very responsive.

Sun was very helpful and communicative. Sun’s place is a short drive to some lovely beaches, close to a nice park, and centrally located for all the activities we had planned. We had 4 young kids with us (ages: 1, 3, 6, and 9), and it was very family and kid-friendly. Would recommend highly!

We had a great stay. Ian’s place is cute, comfortable, and close to everything but still nice and quiet. Beds were super comfortable, and the kitchen was spacious and well-stocked. My dogs had a great time walking through the neighborhood to the beach and hanging out in the fenced in backyard! The hot tub was a highlight, and Ryan (Ian’s brother) was awesome—he spent nearly a whole day cleaning it after the previous guests to make sure it was perfect for us. Communication with him was excellent. Would definitely stay here again!

What an absolutely stellar and extremely comfortable home. My entire family greatly enjoyed the hospitality, well appointed kitchen, fantastic outdoor space and the built in bunkbeds worked perfectly for our teens. Incredible location and visiting the nearby Farmer's Market was a definite highlight (as well as the beaches of course!). We'd love to return sometime in the future! Thank you!

Big wow! We spent a weekend here and the house was so amazing! I really love the design, lots of spaces for family and friends. Helpful host, always respond quickly. It's been a really really nice stay. Definitely coming back with the kids again.

Lori's place was perfect for a large group of people to both enjoy each other's company in the large living/dining/deck areas, while having privacy for sleeping. It's two stories with lots of space inside and outside with a third story outside crow's nest deck as well. The hot tub was a bonus! The beach access was incredible and the best thing about the location. It's just a 2 min. walk away! The neighborhood is tranquil. Lori was easy and great to work with as well! What a special time!

This stay far exceeded our expectations. Very well stocked, well-decorated, and spacious with many amenities. Comfortable couches and a small backyard. We loved the hot tub and beach equipment. Could have stayed here for a month! I also appreciated the kind hosts. The location is awesome, easy walk to the beach. We stayed here with a girl’s weekend and loved it.

Everything was clean and in working order. We would stay here again.

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!

Amazing location. Great ocean views. Well appointed and with modern amenities. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

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.

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!

Marshall and his family were so welcoming and made our short stay so pleasant. We can’t wait to come back, beautiful property beautiful family and great place

Tranquility Base…surely lived up to its name. So comfortable, so charming we felt like a part of the forest. The whole place had so much personality we felt right at home Magical and enchanting getaway Highly recommended We’ll be back

Absolutely loved my stay at this beautiful cabin. From the moment I arrived, I felt a sense of peace and seclusion that made it the perfect escape. The cabin itself is incredibly cozy, warm, thoughtfully decorated, and stocked with everything you need for a relaxing stay. One of the true highlights was the hot tub, tucked away in nature and perfect for unwinding under the stars. The host was exceptionally responsive and made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish. I couldn’t have asked for a better getaway - this place is a gem, and I can’t wait to return!

The Log Cabin is an amazing place to stay in Santa Cruz at Pleasure Point. You cannot beat the location and Ann does a great job as a host. Simple and easy process and a clean great place in superb location.

This place is beautiful! All of us felt like we wanted to move in. The road up to it is quite long and windy but it’s very private and the view is unbeatable!

Not as isolated as I had imagined. Which turned out to be a good thing since my partner had to leave mid trip on an emergency. With the family up front and the neighbor next door, as a single female, I did not feel unsafe or alone in the woods at night. It was a lovely stay with hosts that responded quickly. Only 15 minutes to any of the nearby beaches, but hard to leave behind the serenity of the perfectly flowing (end of April) creek. So relaxing!

This place was an amazing spot for a friendly getaway with 8 guys. We went up there for access to nature, hiking, and just getting away from it all and this place was amazing. From the amenities to the fully stocked kitchen, it was perfect. The upstairs shower was also AMAZING. Weird thing to put in to a review, but I'll admit I looked forward to that shower every day that we were there. All in all, the space was modern, very comfortable, and was exactly what we wanted. The ONLY thing I would be wary of is the road leading up to the house. It gets a little treacherous and I was happy to have had Bronco and a Wrangler with us, but we did have a Chevy Volt and it made it up to the location with no problem. So definitely possible, but having some more climbing power would be advised. Otherwise, it was AMAZING! Thinking about when I can stay there again.

Great spot for a weekend getaway! Tucked away between the sequoias. Peaceful, quaint, and quiet. Every windows had a view. Great record player. Had snacks which was a nice gesture. Hot tub was great. Communication excellent. Backyard was beautiful looking up to the trees from the hammock. Had s’mores with the fire. Comfy bed. Great location. Had a blast at Henry Cowell state park! Thank you
