Seascape Beach Resort condo with ocean view
Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay. Well equipped kitchen and it was fun to spend some time enjoying the view.

30StepsToBeach-EBikes+Surfboards
The wife and I really enjoyed the location of this place. You would be hard pressed to find another Airbnb with a better spot!

Luxury Villa - Flora View - Ground Level -Seascape
Great place!! Loved the ability to walk down to the beach. Appreciated the beach chairs.

Sunset and the beach at Seascape
We stayed at Kathleen's place for Thanksgiving, just after some torrential storms. The weather, however, was fantastic, and we enjoyed the pool and hot tub (saltwater--a pleasant surprise!). The beach was really great; our girls really enjoyed hunting for sea glass. Our older one discovered some old glass that dated back to pre-WWII and had trace amounts of uranium in it (it glows bright green under UV light). After that, looking for sea glass was all they wanted to do.... I don't know if all Seascape units are as nicely appointed, but this one was clean, modern, and comfortable. I can't recall if it is in the description, but it has a nice collection of puzzles and board games.

Riverview Beach Bungalow
Terri's place is fresh and clean. It appears to be recently renovated, with gorgeous interior design, an open kitchen, and lovely landscaping. This was definitely one of the cleanest Air BnB's we have stayed in. Pristine inside and out. The kitchen is well appointed and had all of the appliances/cooking utensils we needed. The garden is gorgeous (there's that word again) and gets a lot of comments from people walking the river. A beautiful stroll along the river path gets you to the shops and restaurants at the esplanade. We cannot wait to return! Something not in Terri's control (obviously) is the traffic. Bring your patience every time you leave the location in your vehicle. Capitola and the surrounding towns were not designed for the sheer amount of people who come visit, so every outing in a car is slow going. Just enjoy the view and plan ahead.

Seascape Ocean Front Villa
Had a great stay! Bjorn replied quickly to messages. The place was beautiful and just as described. Overall we had a wonderful time! Would definitely book again.

Cypress by the Sea - Historic Beach Cottage
Great location, close to the beach and boardwalk. Quiet and can hear the ocean waves. Well equipped with everything you might need.

Beach House with Stunning Lake and Ocean Views
What a peaceful place. We had a great short visit and hope we can come again! The place is even better than the photos. We spent hours watching the birds, ocean and sun set and rise. It was great that we could bring our dog along too!

Breathtaking Beach Front House - Steps to the Sand
The view from this home is amazing. You can sit and just stare out the window all day. We had 8 people there and had plenty of room to cook, hang out, and play games. The space was clean and well set up for large groups. While there isn't much to do in the immediate neighborhood (besides hang out at beach), it's a short drive to a grocery store, good coffee, and other beaches. The decor is a little old-fashioned, but the house is super comfortable!

Storybook Creekside Getaway
Absolutely magical stay in Brookdale! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the serene beauty of this property. The gentle sounds of the creek just outside set the perfect tone for a relaxing getaway. The outdoor area, complete with a stunning outdoor fireplace, became our favorite spot to unwind each evening under the stars. Inside, the house was just as impressive—beautifully maintained, cozy, and thoughtfully appointed. It was perfectly clean and had everything we needed. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed for cooking up our vacation breakfasts. Every detail made it feel like a true home away from home. Our kids didn’t want to leave. And the location? Simply unbeatable. Nestled among the towering, awe-inspiring redwoods, it felt like we were in our own private forest retreat. We couldn’t have asked for a more peaceful, magical setting. This place is a hidden gem—we’re already planning our next visit!

Riverview Retreat Duplex-Captiola LOWER UNIT A
Terrific place, clean and beautifully laid out. Loved the big screen TV with surround sound speakers in the ceiling.

Hidden Lake Cottage With Hot Tub & Views!
Gorgeous views and lovely landscaping - our cottage in Watsonville was the perfect spot for our central coast trip. Almost every window had a beautiful view, whether it was the red flowering trees in front or the lake and hills out back. It felt like the guest experience was really considered when designing this space - touches like the plush animal doorstop and super comfy beds made us feel like we were in someone's home. Host was very responsive before and during the stay . We felt safe and cozy in this spot.

Seascape Oceanview Luxury 2B w/theater walk2beach
Joanne and Nicole’s apartment was very spacious, and both David and I had more than enough room to relax and enjoy our time. The home theater was such a special treat, and we really appreciated the helpful information they provided about nearby restaurants. On top of that, they generously left snacks and even pasta sauce for us, which made us feel very welcomed. The outdoor hot tub was warm, clean, and incredibly cozy, making our stay even more relaxing. The instructions they gave were very clear and easy to follow, which helped everything go smoothly from the moment we arrived. They also placed a very easy-to-understand guidebook inside the apartment, so we could quickly find anything we needed without any confusion. Thanks to their thoughtful setup and care, we were able to fully relax and enjoy a slow and peaceful two-night, three-day stay.

Beautiful Ocean View - Seascape - Miles of Beach
We spent several nights in David’s condo, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. I had kind and timely communication with David even before our arrival, and the condo itself was just perfect. The pictures don’t do it justice, it is in a very peaceful, private area and closer to the water than expected. Breathing the ocean air and the sound of waves is so healing. I watched humpback whales breach and dolphins feeding, it was very pleasant to have pelicans flying right past as well. The sunsets were beautiful and it was such excellent viewing at any time of day with 2 deck levels to choose from. You can view the coast from Santa Cruz all the way down to Monterey! The condo is tastefully decorated and spacious, and the beds were extremely comfortable with cozy quilts and pillows. There are comfy throws for your lap and many other homey touches. The condo has so many dishes and pots and pans it’s easy to cook a meal. I can’t wait to stay there again. Thank you David!

Seascape Ocean View Condo
We absolutely loved our stay at Kristina’s condo! The place was spotless, beautifully furnished, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Kristina was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this Airbnb – we’d definitely stay here again!

Shorebirds 51
The location was amazing. We’ve stayed in other units before too, but this was perfect for 2 people and great views! Highly recommend for a getaway. Wish we could’ve stayed longer. We will be back.

Condo in Seascape Beach Resort
Tess was a great host! Went above and beyond to help us enjoy our stay! Love the location.

Beachfront Condo in Watsonville, CA
If you are looking for a place to rest, relax and reset your mind this is the place for you. Pajaro Dunes is a wonderful location to walk along the beach just steps away from the condo. It’s very peaceful and the resort grounds are clean. Soojin is a wonderful host and her condo was more than we could have asked for. Very clean, modern decor and the amenities provided were very well thought of especially in the kitchen and in the bathrooms. Beach amenities were provided as well. We hope to return and bring our family and friends to join us next time around.

Spectacular Ocean View - 3 Heated Pools - Seascape
We had a wonderful trip and can’t wait to come back.

Royal Villa - Ocean View - Heated Pools - Seascape
This was our second stay at Seascape. It's a beautiful, relaxing property. The unit is comfortable and very well-appointed. Even the sofa bed and wall bed are really comfy. The view is lovely. The location of this unit makes it pretty easy to get belongings to and from the parking lot. Owners are friendly and professional, with great communication.
