Aptos Ocean / Bayview Cottage near beaches. Pets & parking. Walkable to beach
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (7)
"Joe was an excellent host and great communicator. Got an email from him early the day of check in that place was ready and we could check in early. The only issue I have is saying place is ocean view is a bit of a stretch. You can see the ocean on the horizon through the trees etc. There is no real view. You will be in your car to go to beach and restaurants as its beyond what most people would walk. Its 30 plus minutes to walk to beach and if you wanted a chair or cooler or any such thing its...

Sweet Spot in the Santa Cruz Redwoods 10 minutes from the Ocean
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (18)
"This little place nestled in the redwoods is the absolute perfect spot to spend a weekend. (Or longer - I really debated calling out of work and booking a couple of extra nights.) Cozy space that’s perfect for 1-2 people, super close to Soquel, Capitola, and Santa Cruz, if you feel like leaving, and if you don’t, one of the patios, the hammock, or your room with the windows open so you can hear the creek are ideal for decompressing."

"From the moment we stepped inside this cozy beach front home, we were captivated by the breathtaking view of the beach and ocean. As we ventured upstairs, the view only became more spectacular. It was the perfect setting for our family of 10, providing ample space and all the amenities we could ask for.

9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (185)
"We really enjoyed our stay here. The unit was spacious, well-appointed, and very private (thanks to its location in the last building in the development, which meant looking out only at the dunes & not other buildings). The kitchen had every pot and pan we needed, the pantry was nicely stocked, and the beds were supremely comfortable. Plus, the owners were very pro-active and communicative, both before and during our stay. All in all, a delightful visit!"

"Had a wonderful stay here. Location was excellent. Just a few minutes walk to capitola village and the beach. We really enjoyed the views from the deck, and the sound of the waves. The condo feels newly renovated, airy and relaxing. Plenty of comfortable, tasteful furnishings make it feel like home. Kitchen was well stocked and we cooked together several times. Parking was a little tricky due to the construction, but we figured it out eventually. Our host was very welcoming. We had a great time...
