Holiday rentals with a hot tub in Rio del Mar

Sara's home was lovely and comfortable. Her gardens on the side of the house and outside a bedroom in front, were tranquil, colorful, magical places. I daydreamed about how she must have planted in stages over the years, planning blooms for the different seasons and assisted by her obvious green thumb. The kitchen was well equipped, and the home had everything we needed. Sara was very welcoming, leaving us a beautiful flower arrangement, and a water bowl and squeaking and crinkling toy for our dogs.

As mentioned by others, the place is super comfortable, has a lot of amenities and is super close to the boardwalk and the downtown area. However, what really stood out to us was the host’s hospitality. They were super accommodating when we mentioned we’d be getting to Santa Cruz a little early and if we could use the bikes to go cruise around in the meantime. We only stayed for one night, but were able to enjoy a full day of fun because of that. We rode to Brommer park, played pickleball, went back to check in, headed out to eat, walked around and then went back to enjoy the spa and ping pong table. The whole house was spacious and the beds were super comfortable. Definitely recommend David’s place.

A beautiful and relaxing space. I loved staying here and hope to return soon. The home is gorgeous and comfortable. Perfect.

Fantastic location and home for a family get-away. Much to see and do on site and in the local area. The home is very comfortable and welcoming with all the amenities you might need and more. Can’t wait to book again!

Lori's place was perfect for a large group of people to both enjoy each other's company in the large living/dining/deck areas, while having privacy for sleeping. It's two stories with lots of space inside and outside with a third story outside crow's nest deck as well. The hot tub was a bonus! The beach access was incredible and the best thing about the location. It's just a 2 min. walk away! The neighborhood is tranquil. Lori was easy and great to work with as well! What a special time!

Joyce’s place was clean and had a really great location. We thought we were right on the Cliff so that was kind of a bummer to have a house in front of our ocean view. But the place was really nice, and very clean! The space was really cool and had great decoration. Beds were comfortable. Kids were happy. We loved playing in the hot tub and in the garden in the backyard.

We had a wonderful stay at Theresa’s place. Great location and very well maintained. We’d love to stay there again.

We enjoyed the beautiful location with an easy walk to the ocean and nearby nature bridges park. The home was clean, welcoming and comfortable and the bedroom layout worked great for our family. It includes nice amenities with the hot tub and fire pit outdoors. The host was very responsive and friendly!

Wonderful spot. Quality home in a beautiful location. Very peaceful beach - great for families. We made a fire on the beach for s'mores. The pool/spa was busy but well maintained.

The home was clean and very spacious. I was concerned about the cold weather but the house was so cozy. The pool was so close to us and very clean. The hot tub was wonderful. I loved that the home was so close to the water and we could hear the waves crashing. Everything about the home was amazing.

Excellent stay , beautiful and very clean home . Lijun is super fast in responding to queries.

A minor issue with our original reservation was quickly resolved by the PowerWest Team. They responded immediately and went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of and had a perfect trip. The unit is a beautiful, well equipped condo with spectacular ocean front views. We will definitely visit again and stay with PowerWest.

Our stay was everything we hoped for and more. The host was responsive and easy to work with, and the resort itself is stunning—perched above the water with incredible views. The home was spotless inside and out, and everything worked exactly as it should. We honestly wished we didn’t have to leave. It was the perfect place for us to escape the grind of unending obligations and just relax. There wasn’t anything we didn’t like; if we had one small wish, it would be for all three TVs to be smart TVs. We’ll definitely be booking this same place again the next time we’re in the area.

We had an amazing stay at this condo. We had a beautiful view of the ocean and loved how close we were to the pool and trail to the beach. The beds were comfortable and we enjoyed the games available for our kids. Would definitely love to stay here again.

We had a great time staying here over a 4-days weekend. The location is great with access to a private beach. Very kids-friendly!

Absolutely beautiful property, the views are incredible. The home was very clean, cozy and comfortable. It felt like a home away from home. Outside there are so many different places you can sit back and relax. Lisa and Chris were very responsive and welcoming.

Marshall and his family were so welcoming and made our short stay so pleasant. We can’t wait to come back, beautiful property beautiful family and great place

Fantastic place with a stunning view of the beach, incredible interiors, and amazing taste. The front and back gardens are beautiful, the kitchen is super well-equipped, and the beds are absolutely perfect. I highly recommend it – Ann is super kind and responsive. Oh, and by the way, the two most beautiful palm trees in the neighborhood are right in this garden. Don’t hesitate – just come, it’s a no-brainer!

Absolutely amazing location. Peaceful and beautiful. Great hiking nearby. Was perfect for our family. Chris is very responsive and helpful. Already thinking about another trip out here!

My husband and I our little dog had an amazing weekend at the cabin! It was so beautiful and peaceful and had everything we needed. We went wine tasting a few miles up the road and came back and cooked a great steak dinner on the BBQ, then relaxed in the hot tub. We will definitely be back! And hopefully for longer next time! Sarah is a wonderful host.

Sarah’s place is very private and quiet. We all enjoyed our stay. The road to the cabin takes some getting use to, but we all managed it ok. I would advise guests to limit their trips to and from if they can… there’s no “corner store” it takes some time to get in and out, but it’s worth the peace

The tiny cabin was exactly what we needed to sit back and relax for a couple days. The sheets and bed comforter where like sleeping on a cloud. The backyard oasis was spotless secluded and oh so peaceful. Host was extremely responsive and helpful.

The cabin was really beautiful and was surrounded by redwoods - we even saw two foxes in the morning. Sleeping in the 2nd separate bedroom was so peaceful with the sound of the creek behind it. The hot tub was very private and a great feature. We did have a snafu with the bed frame in the main bedroom but it did not detract from our experience. The host was very responsive and we really enjoyed our stay.

Great place! Easy to find, surroundings were beautiful, and the cabin was clean. Emkay was friendly and respectful.
