Cottage holiday rentals in Santa Clara County

We had an absolute gorgeous stay. The location was close to fabulous cafes - Linda's Seabreeze and Harbor Cafe were our faves - and just minutes from the beach. There is also a lagoon nearby for birdwatching. I was worried the spot would be tight with four people but there was plenty of room to stretch out. The yard had patio sets for reading outside in the sun. And the hot tub was immaculately clean, plenty hot, and a wonderful way to end each day there. Would absolutely return the next time I'm in Santa Cruz.

My husband and I stayed there for our daughter’s wedding in Felton. What an amazing place to come back to after a very long day (amazing celebration!) and relax in the backyard amongst the redwoods. Super peaceful. The kitchen has everything, and I mean everything you need. Be aware there are 2 steps into the bedroom which we had to remind ourselves so we didn’t trip. All was really clean and welcoming. We would stay here again!

A recent stay at Robert’s home in Ben Lomond was exceptional. The property felt like home from the pictures on the wall to the books in the bookcase. The fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and toiletries was like walking into our personal family vacation home with everything clean and organized. Upon our arrival, we contacted the owner to let them know we arrived. We enjoyed a welcoming orientation of the property. The location was ideal with convenient access to stores and restaurants. We could not have selected a better place to enjoy quality family time and celebrate a graduation from UC Santa Cruz. This was a super stay and gets our highest recommendation.

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We walked to the beach to boogie board, went to the boardwalk and enjoyed the local farmer’s market. The house was amazing and more than we expected. We enjoyed the backyard with all of its amenities including the hot tub and outdoor shower especially after coming back from a day at the beach. Shari was very proactive in her communications and we are looking forward to coming back again for a longer visit.

Annie was a great host and the place was exactly as described and just what we needed for a relaxing beach getaway. We loved the hot tub in the backyard and the beach cottage feel of the place. Thank you for hosting us!

A magical sanctuary! We loved every minute of our stay and the only negative part was that we had to leave. The location is epic- walk anywhere, restaurants, beach, UCSC, downtown, coffee shops. The hot tub is totally private and the place has a very homey feel. The lot is beautiful. Would stay here again.

This cottage was the perfect getaway for a long weekend with friends and a small dog. The bathroom was super clean, and we enjoyed hanging out in the front yard and being able to walk to the beach and shops, etc. Gabriel was super responsive, helpful and friendly! Will definitely be returning.

We had a wonderful time at the ranch—the location was beautiful, and the unit was spacious. There was hot water and strong WiFi. Dogs on the property were friendly and adorable. However, the cleanliness of the unit could use some improvement. It would benefit from a professional deep cleaning to really match the quality of the overall experience. Despite this, we still enjoyed our stay and would consider returning.

This was the perfect little place for our family of 4! The house had everything we needed and had beautiful surroundings. Our daughters loved the porch swing out front. We saw hummingbirds right outside the kitchen window where the feeder was hanging. We cooked all of our meals in the well equipped kitchen. The organic coffee was very appreciated! Wish the queen bed mattress was a little firmer (was lumpy & soft- not great for those with bad backs) but overall very happy with our stay!

Thank you Tamara for sharing your lovely home. We had a great time in the area and your house was the perfect place to return to after a long day at the beach or hiking in the local redwoods. The beds were comfortable with plenty of linens and blankets. The kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed barbecuing for dinner while enjoying the great view from the backyard deck. We would definitely recommend your house and the area to others!

Great stay and Pilar and Chris were very helpful with local recommendations. Would stay again

Had a little difficulty entering communicated with the host, he was very helpful and made it very easy and accessible moving forward! Over all, it was very quiet out the way space exactly what we were looking for!

Great spot close to the water and easy to access, park and walk to and from.

Cozy Corralitos has a garden filled with a wide variety of plants. The lemon and other citrus trees had an abundance of fruit. Many different birds were on site. The house was clean and comfortable with a well provisioned kitchen . Melissa was gracious and quick to reply when I had a question. The neighborhood is very quiet.

perfect location. perfect size space. the backyard is beautiful! pool was amazing, so many places to sit and layout. cottage was spacious and cozy, nice and cool when the door and windows are closed. nick left towels for the pool and shower for us. definitely would stay here again.

Spacious, quiet, fantastic location and extremely safe for a solo female traveller. Visting on work with various meetings dotted around palo alto, mountain view and SF downtown, Lanlan's place was the perfect mid-point. It's a private studio with it's own entrance, has an attached ensuite shower and contains all amenities you need for a few days (fridge, microwave, coffee maker and even a small electric hob). Easy to get to, easy parking on the street right outside and located in a picturesque neighbourhood , I looked forward to coming 'home' after a long day of work. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Great location! We love the area as we lived a street over for 3 years. Close to a beautiful park with great Mountain View’s from the back yard. Relaxing stay.

Outstanding experience! Holly was very thoughtful, polite, friendly, curious, and responsive. Beautiful, private, secluded location. Very clean and beautiful home. Thank you so much for the sweets and treats, you are an Amazing Host- keep up the great work :-)
