Family-friendly vacation rentals in Bonny Doon

I had a great stay here with my daighter and german shepherd. It was great to have the beach all to ourselves every morning by walking just a block over. The house was beautiful, comfortable, and the greenery outside was wonderful. Would definitely stay again!

amazing place to stay for a visit to the Bay Area. the backyard is a beautiful secluded Oasis with its own private hot tub. easily walk to the number of spots in the Mission District and Bernal Heights for some outdoor fun. they have a picnic basket packed up with all the supplies you would need so I highly recommend taking that over to Dolores Park on a sunny day to enjoy one of the best views in the city. also highly recommend looking through their recommendation book before hitting the town so you can get an idea of some cool spots to check out. I would 100% stay here again on another trip to San Francisco

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

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We walked to the beach to boogie board, went to the boardwalk and enjoyed the local farmer’s market. The house was amazing and more than we expected. We enjoyed the backyard with all of its amenities including the hot tub and outdoor shower especially after coming back from a day at the beach. Shari was very proactive in her communications and we are looking forward to coming back again for a longer visit.

An amazing stay close to the beach, a perfect weekend getaway

We had a wonderful time! Dog and kid friendly. Definitely recommend!

Loved our tranquil stay here!! The space was super close to downtown Aptos and many hiking spots which made it easy to go in and out. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking and everything we hoped for on our quick getaway. Would stay again!

Matthew donates part of the rental proceeds to charity, renter gets to choose the charity. also great location, 100 yds from the sea front

The cottage was exactly as described. It was very clean, tastefully decorated, and functional. The beach is within walking distance, and there is an ocean view when you stand on the street. The location is superb, situated conveniently between the Monterey Peninsula and Santa Cruz. There are many excellent restaurants within a 15-minute drive. Despite its proximity to these attractions, the area remains peaceful and relaxing.

Close to San Jose Convention center, so it was super simple to get to the events nearby and if I needed to stop by the Airbnb to grab anything it was easy to head there and back. Every amenity I could need was there, and overall a very lovely stay.

Fantastic stay doesn't cover it! Kim and Pam's bungalow instantly felt like home. This is a fully stocked house with anything you could possibly need - kitchen wares, beach accessories, extra linens, grilling tools! The warm days and cool nights made for comfortable sleeping. We loved using the outdoor shower, relaxing in the hammock and cooking out in the yard. The location, both in proximity to the beach/marina + being in between SFO and Monterey allowed for fun day excursions. Kim's communication regarding all details was exceptional.

We really enjoyed our time at Rezan's place! It allowed us to experience peaceful holidays in a stunning environment rich in nature. Rezan and her sister, Nazan, were really friendly and always ready to help whenever we needed support. We are deeply grateful for all that you have done, Rezan and Nazan – we look forward to seeing you again!

I had a most wonderful stay at this peaceful and lovely hideaway. The place was ideal and so convenient—to the beach, to Santa Cruz's sights, and walkable spaces—but as perfect as it was, Ron and Nikki were the perfect hosts. Helpful ahead of check-in, responsive and full of great suggestions once I was in, and when I needed to help out a relative, extremely understanding and accommodating. Can't wait to come back!

Vijeta’s place was perfect for us and our pup. I would highly recommend

Had a beautiful stay here. Home is beautiful looks just like pictures . Has everything you need !! Great kitchen beds are comfortable. Linens are great.!! I would just say the driveway is very steep if you drive a low profile car like I do I couldn’t go up the driveway but there’s plenty of parking down below. My son does have mobility issues, but he was able to manage. Thank you again for everything. 😊😊

Perfect spot for my family of 4 to use as a base for my daughter’s graduation from UCSC. Plenty of room. Nice outside gathering spots. Kitchen was fine for morning coffee and afternoon cocktails. Capitola village was a short drive away and everything else was within a 15 minute drive. Jeremy checked in often and was quick to take care of any issues. I would consider staying here again.

We had a wonderful short getaway at Sue’s place! The condo is just steps from the beach, pool, and jacuzzi. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves was relaxing, and the ocean breeze was very refreshing. It was exactly what we needed to reset and recharge. Everything was just as described, and we would stay here again! Thank you, Sue!

I half expected to see Jay Gatsby on the balcony when I pulled in. Instead I found Lou very welcoming. The location is convenient to Santa Cruz and Los Gatos. Very peaceful.

Love this place! Will definitely come back!

We had a lovely stay here! The home is well located- easy to visit Santa Cruz and not far to Monterey- there’s also a beach accessible via a short trail next to the house. We enjoyed the view from the roof and the quiet, beautiful garden. Himani was incredibly responsive and quick to help with anything we needed (ie turning on the hot tub and checking in to see if we needed any support throughout our stay). Our little family had a great time enjoying the home and surrounding area and would definitely recommend!

A lovely property to relax in and enjoy. Just what we needed after doing all the sightseeing in the first part of the holiday

Thank you so much Rhea for allowing my family to enjoy this gem! The reviews spoke about the views but wow, incredible! You can literally see up the coast line on both sides. The condo was clean, had enough to accommodate a family of five! We were able to cook our meals every night without a problem. The pool is just a few steps up which my youngest definitely appreciated. We are already missing waking up to the sounds of the ocean! If we’re ever in the area we would be so lucky to book this place again.

I don't even know where to start. The condo is absolutely beautiful. The views were literally breathtaking. The pictures of this place were beautiful but seeing it in person was paradise on earth. You have a panoramic view of the ocean that runs the entire length of the condo. Absolutely gorgeous. Theresa was kind and very helpful with everything. The place was spotless and had everything you could possibly need. I can't say enough good things about this place. My mom and I loved every minute of our stay. I can't wait until I get to go back. Thank you Theresa. My mom and I had the best time. I forgot to add that we really saw whales from living room!!!!!

During my stay at Joann’s place, I felt safe and very comfortable. The whole home is bright and spotlessly clean, with greenery visible outside the windows. Parking was very convenient, and communication with her was smooth throughout. The kitchen was fully equipped, allowing me to cook and enjoy a good glass of red wine. The sofa was cozy and the bed was spacious. I was pleasantly surprised to find such a wonderful place—thank you!
