Waterfront vacation rentals in Santa Cruz

Patricia and her husband are very kind people. We just felt like at home from beginning. Appartment was clean. We expected that we will be in 5 min walk on the beach but it takes longer. We had nice terrace where we enjoyed our coffee and breakfast. We got every morning tasty breakfast from the husband of Patricia. There was also a cleaning service every day. The owners are very kind and helpful people. The accommodation is in the quiet area but near to the shops, markets. We enjoyed our stay.

Location was amazing. We can see the sea from balcony, terrace was not clean, but balcony was good. Small set up of kitchen which was good. 5 stars for the View from the room.

Well-maintained property with a good river view Clean and spacious rooms, same as shown in the picture. Close to the airport, making it convenient for travelers. Helpful and accommodating caretaker xisto, who has provided alternative space for early check-in until booked property is cleaned and he is very helpful. thank you xisto

Great place to stay..... Surely Recommended....Aniket is great host and easily reachable

Grant's place has everything you need to have an amazing time is Goa. It's located near Ashwem Beach and is just 2 minutes walk away from the sea. Perfect location with lots of restaurants and cafes nearby. The checkout was smooth. Special shoutout and thanks to Nigel who helped us with everything and made us feel welcomed in the home. He explained everything so well and we loved his happy vibe. The kitchen is very well-equipped and has everything that you might need to cook delicious meals. The apartment is super clean and has beautiful interiors. As a sustainable living enthusiast, I was so happy to see all the cleaning supplies and products eco-friendly and sustainable. Loved every bit of our stay. Thank you Grant and Nigel for making our stay comfortable. ❤️

10000% recommend this place, looked exactly like the pictures. Amazing views, friendly host and great neighbourhood.

We had a nice stay at this cozy flat, the caretaker was very helpful and the flat is in a good location also.

We had a great stay at this Airbnb! The place was exactly as shown in the pictures—clean, cozy, and well-maintained. Dheeraj was responsive and helpful throughout. The location was convenient, and overall it made our trip really comfortable. Would definitely recommend!

I really enjoyed my stay at Jay’s studio! He was very communicative through my stay. The kitchen, solid WIFI and all of the amenities make it good for a longer stay like I had as well. Safe and enjoyable location too. Highly recommend!

If you want a beach getaway this is the place for you! This unassuming property is a gem - built around a beautiful coconut plantation you walk through the palms and onto the beach. It is perfect for a family gathering or group of friends as the bedrooms are separate and private. Aside from the amazing location what stood out were the host and his team - nothing was ever too much trouble! The food they prepared for us was delicious and we loved eating on the beach at our own private table. We barely left the property as there was lot’s to do - enjoy the pool, the beach, pool table, take a nap listening to the sea breeze through the palms. We also thank the team for being so accommodating to our one year old son making sure we had everything we needed for him. We look forward to our next stay!

A Hidden Paradise by the Mangroves! I had the most amazing stay at Pedro’s Mangrove Villa in Goa! From the moment I arrived, Pedro was a wonderful host — friendly, helpful, and always available if I needed anything. The villa itself is a true hidden gem, tucked away in a peaceful location surrounded by beautiful mangroves, offering a perfect escape from the noise and crowds. The space was spotlessly clean, well-maintained, and tastefully designed with a mix of Goan charm and modern comfort. Waking up to the sounds of birds and the serene view of the water was absolutely magical. I especially loved the outdoor seating area — perfect for a morning coffee or relaxing in the evening. Pedro went above and beyond to make sure my stay was comfortable, even offering great local recommendations for food, sightseeing, and experiences. You can tell he genuinely cares about his guests and takes pride in the property. If you’re looking for a peaceful, nature-filled retreat in Goa

We had a great stay. It is located in a very peaceful area and surrounded by many trees. Suril is a great host and very responsive. Reaching Ashwem beach takes 7-8 minutes on scooty, mandrem beach takes about 15 minutes on scooty. Many restaurants and cafes on the Main beach road. The air bnb is located little away from the main road and a scooty is recommended to go to the nearby grocery stores. Daily cleaning service is provided free of cost. Overall, it's a great value for the money charged.

Many heartfelt thanks for the wonderful stay, Caroline. We felt extremely comfortable, enjoyed every moment, and will cherish the memories of your apartment, the activities, and Goa as a whole for a long time to come. We are sincerely grateful for your continuous support, for your son's assistance with windsurfing, and for Rabin, who was always there to help whenever we had a question. We wish all your future guests experiences as delightful as ours, and extend our best wishes to you and everyone else for the times ahead!

Kenneth was a good host and very accommodating of our needs, we had a great time staying at his place and would surely recommend it to everyone!

I had an amazing experience at this house in Bastora! The house was beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. The host Allison was very attentive and considerate of our needs. She responded to all queries quickly. The host made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The garden is full of trees and flowering plants. One hears birds chirping all day long. The pergola in front garden is perfect for enjoying a morning coffee,reading or working. The river at the back added a unique and peaceful touch. A nice place to watch birds, and if you are lucky, also see the Otters! I highly recommend this place for a relaxing and memorable getaway.

Lovely property, the riverside infinity pool and views are very serene and peaceful. The interiors are luxurious and aesthetic. The caretaker was very helpful and friendly, good host team too. Thank you for hosting us. Will definitely visit soon again.

The best thing about this property is it's location. Its right on the beach facing road and all you have to do is walk a few steps and enter the beach. You get a complete view of ocean right from your gallery. As for home, it's nice cozy place which is well maintained and clean. All the amenities function perfectly. Host lipy was very prompt in making sure that our stay is comfortable. She even arranged a small household item when we requested for it. Cheers to her for that. Some improvement could be done in wifi as it as was getting disconnected regularly. Also one needs to know that the place is quite small in size and not as big as it appears in the pictures. Overall it was a comfortable and peaceful stay.

It was a great experience overall! The place & host were amazing! caretaker Anjum was very helpful! Highly recommended! It had all the facilities mentioned!

This was my first Airbnb experience, and I must say it was truly delightful. The home is well-maintained, clean and aesthetically beautiful with warm and welcoming vibe. The check-in process was seamless and the property is equipped with all the amenities you would need for a comfortable stay. Disha is an extremely helpful, genuinely warm and wonderful host. I highly recommend staying at Flirty Flamingo and would definitely visit again!

Nice host. Cozy arrangement. However, there were dogs barking crazily for non-stop 20mins at night which woke everyone up. There’s no hair dryers so better bring your own. After checking out, I found out I left my charger at the Airbnb and the host assisted me to get it back smoothly. Thank you!

Had a wonderful stay here! Good for a group of 3-4 tourists. One of the best place to be at and to move around in Goa. Cohost Yogesh was always accessible and helpful whenever needed.

Sanjeet’s place was perfect for our stay. He was an incredibly responsive host, always available to assist with anything we needed. The space was clean and comfortable. Overall, we had a great experience, and I would recommend staying here.

it was an amazing stay. location is amazing. peaceful and beautiful view. we will definitely re consider it for stay. thank you hema for always respoing to my messages and helping. just a minor suggestion - plz change towels as existing ones have stains all over and few are torn.

A perfect little escape! This apartment was exactly what we needed for a cozy yet luxurious stay. The interiors were modern and well-designed, the bed was super comfortable, and the balcony view was a lovely bonus. It’s conveniently located near all the hotspots but still offers privacy and peace. The check-in process was smooth, and the host was extremely accommodating. Would definitely stay here again
