This house was even better than the pictures. We loved our stay here It was like being at our own private resort! The kitchen was well stocked for cooking, the beds were comfortable and the pool/hot tub were a highlight for the family.

Stunning view wonderful pool kids loved tv theater very clean exceptional house everything worked close to many day trips Owner was always available but not needed My only request for my visit next yr is a treadmill or aerobic equipment the weight room was great This was the best place my annual multigenerational family gathering has had
We stayed for my wife's 50th birthday dinner and everything exceeded our expectations. The location is super convenient, yet secluded. The views are stunning and property has everything you could possibly need!
We loved this place. The entire process, from booking through the entire stay, was terrific! The managers were available for any questions, and the accommodations were unmatched in comfort and style. Will return for sure!
Beautiful place for a quiet group that loves to cook, eat, and lounge around. The kitchen was really well appointed for cooking for a group. The pool and poolside was very relaxing with a gorgeous view. The theater was an added treat and the beds were super comfy. Would stay again in a heartbeat.
What a great property overlooking the bay. Quiet place with privacy. Deer in the backyard at night. The pool and spa were great. We really enjoyed the theater and fully used the kitchen and pool table and corn hole. Will definitely stay here again!
We stayed with our kids and grandson and our inlaws this weekend after attending a family wedding. I was perfect as we go to spend quality time just relaxing! The pictures don't do justice to the property.
What a royal experience! Everything about this house is grand and next level. It has everything for everyone… we never left the house. Great kitch for cooking, entertainment by the pool and movie time was experienced by all! Above all the location is what every heart seeks! It truly has it all ❤️
We held our small business group offsite retreat here. The house provided a unique and beautiful setting for memorable team bonding and motivation. The views from the jacuzzi, infinity pool and yard were awe-inspiring. The house was impeccably clean and well-maintained. With ensuite bathrooms it provided the perfect setting for privacy and togetherness. Matt was incredible and made everything so easy! A great experience and we look forward to returning next year!
The house is beautiful and the host/owner is very responsive. We had everything we needed for Thanksgiving dinner. Beautiful location and great for a large family.
Comfortable, spacious and peaceful accommodations, for a family wedding at the Shadowbrook Restaurant. Matt is an attentive host who wants your stay to be the best experience. Soquel Villa is a close drive to amenities. The setting and views are a 10, just gorgeous! Wonderful to wake up to and go to sleep. If relaxation and serenity are your thing then Soquel Villa is your place.
This house and location is absolutely stunning! We have rented many homes globally and this was our favorite. Perfect for a large group/couple of families to relax, all dine together, all hang by the pool, etc... We had such a blast each night in the theatre room singing karaoke (machine not included). Check in was easy and Matt explained all the workings very well. Hosts were very responsive and accommodating. House décor and amenities were excellent. Its very secluded up in hills but easy to get to the freeway. Highly recommend :-)
This villa is gorgeous and perfect for a getaway of family or friends. The manager Jay was extremely helpful. It was exactly what we wanted and we had a wonderful time.
We stayed just 3 nights and didn’t want to leave! We’ve experienced multiple vacation rentals over the years, but this was by far one of the best. Matt (the owner) and his team were perfect to work with. Thanks again, Matt.
