Cottage holiday rentals in Santa Cruz

Liza's place was wonderful! I would happily book a stay at Rickett's retreat again. The location is ideal, and the place itself is lovely, and it is well represented by the listing. Liza's communications from booking to checkout were detailed, timely, and friendly. Would highly recommend a stay here!

This was our second stay here. Our daughter's family lives in the neighborhood and this is the perfect location for us to stay while visiting. It is quiet, comfortable and just what we need. The yard is very cute and we love to look at the animals with our grandchildren. We lucked out and saw the planets aligned from the driveway on the 25th, as it is dark enough to view the stars without city lights. Don and Lori are great hosts- there are treats and fresh eggs in the fridge, and everything we needed was right there. We will be back.

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.

Mara is a great host, charming and thorough.........a great combination for us! Her detailed instructions and "hands-off" thereafter approach was perfect for us. The unit was just the right size for us and had everything we needed for our week plus stay. We hope to visit and stay again in the future as the location is perfect for us.

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.

Quiet neighborhood great view beautiful home highly recommend

Stayed for the first time in Pescadero with the family. Steve's place was perfect - great location, well equipped, lots of space. Loved the views and accessibility to it all. Thanks, Steve, for sharing your wonderful place with us.

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 a great place! Close to everything but still very quiet, clean and lovely on the inside with a beautiful courtyard on the outside and safe parking. Everything was just as described, and I would definitely stay again!

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!

The pond house was so relaxing! Close the costal redwoods and tide pools, this cottage is in prime nature loving location. The cottage is on the same property as the owners yet still felt incredibly private. Our toddler loved exploring the back yard and I enjoyed cooking in the fully stocked kitchen. The view was spectacular. Hoping to be back again!

The space was clean and had many accommodations, complimentary wine and snacks were a plus and Clifford’s communication was the best.

Peaceful place and his directions were clear. Would definitely recommend.

Place is just as described, if you like being out in the country more rugged and alone this place is for you, just be aware the bedroom has curtains but the rest of home does not at night this might scare somebody but I was fine

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

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.

Thanks Daniella! This is a Clean & Classic CA surf pad; 5 ish min walk on quiet streets to Pleasure Point, w/ Great kitchen amenities, out door shower, off-steet parking.

This is a beautiful, one of a kind place. And Eddie is an attentive host who contacts guests more often than most. The property is about 20 minutes from 580. Once you get onto the road the AirBnb is off of, it is a full 6 mile drive on a windy road. If you enjoy hiking, there is an amazing 2 mile uphill hike on the property, which was exceptional in the month of May with wildflowers and great views. It was great to have an extra half bath on lower level. For showering or using the lovely full bathroom, you will need to climb a narrow spiral staircase. The bed was very comfortable and it was nice to have a full kitchen.
