Vacation rentals in Saratoga

The stay was magnificent, with breathtaking views of the ocean. I loved the response time from housekeeping and reception. All of us enjoyed our stay. It's about 40 40-minute drive to Monterey. I would highly recommend.

What a beautiful and relaxing short stay we had at Sea Otter Cottage! From soaking in the soothing hot tub to playing in the charming garden, every moment was delightful. Our 5-year-old loved exploring the lovely surroundings, the toys in the house and we truly felt at home in this cozy, welcoming house. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful space with us—we will cherish the memories made here and hope to return at some point!

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!

Staying at Seascape was the perfect kid-friendly vacation. The pool was easy to access from our condo and the views were beautiful. The condo's set-up with two bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs and a half bath downstairs was great for our family of 5. The private beach was beautiful - we saw otters, whales, and my son found two perfect sand dollars walking down the beach. It was a little bit of a trek to get down to the beach with three little kids and all the beach gear, but once we were there no one wanted to leave. Several near-by restaurants were delicious, especially the newly opened Dos Pescados. It was fairly easy to get into Santa Cruz too, but we did have to time traffic or it would double the drive time (to almost 45 minutes).

Sometimes we look for an Airbnb as a place to stay to experience an area we're in. This last weekend the Airbnb we stayed in WAS the experience. Not only is it a one-of-a-kind place, it's a place that owes its character to the owners that made it all come to life. Sure the yurt is appointed with a beautiful bed, all the amenities you'd ever need and a setting to die for. However, Robin (and husband Mark) are what really made the whole experience come alive as we heard the history of their farm (more like an estate), the evolution of the yurt (and treehouse) and their world-class wines they produce - it all sets the backdrop for an incredibly special memorable place to stay. On the quiet property covered in vineyards, your vantage point affords you views of the surrounding mountains, the valley below, the ocean and points all around. So, if you're looking for a stay you'll tell everyone about and remember forever, we can't recommend enough Lago Lomita!

This place was SO CUTE!! One of my favorite stays with Airbnb. A friend and I stayed here for a girls trip and it was the perfect size for the two of us. We met Chris, the host, and she was very friendly and welcoming! The space is exactly as described, and the sofa bed was unbelievably comfy!! The location was safe, peaceful, and quiet.

Clean, well-appointed, spacious home less than a block from the beautiful Twin Lakes Beach. You can see the beach from chairs on the front lawn. We were lucky enough to be there during the lighted boat parade (first Saturday in December), so we watched the lighted boats in the water from the front yard. Everything was easily accessible. The home includes many amenities (washer/dryer, cooking supplies, games, pack n play). The room with the bunk beds has a separate bathroom, making it really nice for families with older kids. Great stay and I hope we can return.

Lilian’s home was perfect for us! We had a group of 5 and we all enjoyed our own space, and also our space together. The art and plants and architecture all were fun to live with. The location worked really well for us - near the beach, and easy drives to different parts of Santa Cruz and Capitola. All beautiful. Easy party at the house. Lilian was very responsive to messages. A wonderful stay.
