Apartment vacation rentals in Santa Cruz

Michael sent clear instructions and guidance to find the location and how to access the place. Upon arrival, the place was as listed. We feel the photos made the place look smaller than what was actually there. It's a quiet neighborhood but just far enough that it's walkable to the downtown area and train station. We would come back again should we need a place to stay while we explore the area.

We had an amazing stay here! The place was super clean, modern, and felt really cozy. Everything looked exactly like the photos. The location is perfect—right in Capitola Village and just a short walk to the beach, shops, and restaurants. The hosts were great and very attentive, quick to respond, and made everything super easy from check-in to checkout. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

My daughter and I loved staying here . The location is perfect for a true vacation. We barely needed to drive anywhere , as almost everything we needed was within walking distance . It is the perfect beach bungalow , and we can’t wait to go back !

Our family stayed there for two days, it was really clean, although it was on the first floor, there was no smell!Very comfortable, very reassuring!

fantastic host, super responsive and easy to work with. would definitely stay with host again

Great location on Santana Row with cafes and restaurants within a short walk. We only used the kitchen for breakfast. It was suitable for other meals, too. The two BRs and two BAs were useful. Note that the 3rd bed is upstairs next to the master. We enjoyed relaxing on the couch and watching TV.

This was definitely the best airbnb I've found in the area! The space was private and comfortable. Plenty of clean towels, toilet paper, and paper towels (a surprising annoyance of mine with stays other places!). Responsive host. Helpful instructions. Felt right at home in the space. Clean and tidy. Comfy bed, pillows (actually 4 of them, thank you!), and overall temperature of the apartment. Easy check-in and check-out. One thing to note is that it is conveniently located across from bart station, so there is some noise associated with that, but you ARE in the city, so there's that. It didn't really bother me, just something to note if you're a light sleeper (but the bed was so comfy, it didn't phase me much!). I stayed for 12 days, and it was perfect for my needs. I would definitely stay again! Thank you!!

This was the a great place to stay for a short work trip. The unit is a first floor private studio apartment with its own private bathroom and kitchen in a small apartment building. There is controlled access to the overall building as well as a key to the room. It is convenient walking distance from everything on Castro as well as the Caltrain station. As others mention, the main drawback was the noise, but I actually found it easier to sleep that way. The kitchen is stocked with some basic food items and breakfast like bagels, yogurt, fruit, coffee pods. It is an older building and unit that I thought had character. Very clean and comfortable.

Great place to stay, close to Sharks Ice where we had a hockey tournament.

Very safe, clean, quiet and comfortable room with private en-suite bathroom. Great location just a short drive to downtown Campbell or Los Gatos.

The location was perfect, and the space was modern, comfortable, and exactly as pictured. The hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout. I would absolutely recommend staying here anytime.

We found George's place last minute on our way into San Francisco and it was the perfect place for a restful night after a long day of flying. In the morning it was a nice 10 minute for some delicious breakfast, would definitely book again!

Our stay at Kimber and Mike's place was great- perfect space. My wife and I were checking out UC Santa Cruz with our daughter, and this apartment was a much better option than conjoined rooms in a hotel. When you close the bedroom door, the person(s) sleeping in the living room has their own half bath to use at night or in the morning without having to go into the master. The kitchenette was really nice to have as well. Feels recently renovated, sparkling clean, super-cozy. Quiet neighborhood, and everything's pretty close in Santa Cruz. Kimberly and Mike are excellent hosts- we'll be back for sure!

Diana and Vic are the nicest hosts! We were welcomed with a gift bag and detailed instructions about the home. Very clean and cute home. The flowers outside are amazing and the side patio was very nice to relax. Lots to do in Fremont (even without a car) it’s a quick walk/bus/bart to some delicious food. lots of nearby hiking and the farm down the street is very cute too. We visit Fremont regularly and hopefully we can stay again our next visit! Highly recommended!!

Maria Elena's studio apartment is perfect for two people. It is roomy and completely updated. The king size bed is comfortable and the mini-split heat/air conditioner is perfect for the changes in weather in San Jose. The neighborhood is peaceful, safe and walkable to a local grocery, coffee and restaurants. I recommend Maria Elena's apartment and will stay there again on my next trip to San Jose.

i really enjoyed my stay, beautiful place

Clean and organized. Had everything I needed to cook which is very important to me. Will stay again next time I’m in town.

Beautiful place - we had the best time. Clean place. Walked to the beach every day and ate the restaurants. We will definitely stay here again !

Great place!! Loved the ability to walk down to the beach. Appreciated the beach chairs.

Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay. Well equipped kitchen and it was fun to spend some time enjoying the view.

The condo was very clean and comfortable. Lawrence was quick to respond when we had a question. There are restaurants within walking distance and grocery stores and good coffee within a mile. We enjoyed our stay and would be happy to stay here again.

Stayed here a few times and always seek out this host. The space is conveniently located to the mall and public transportation. The Airbnb is perfect size for a solo traveler or couple and has a very comfortable bed. The private patio is great for coffee in the mornings too. Highly recommend this place. the host also check-in to ensure your stay is wonderful. Will be back again!

Great place, definitely recommend!
