Apartment with an ocean view
Kevin was a very responsive host who checked in with me during the stay. The place was lovely - light, bright and clean. Freshly updated and remodeled with a peek of the beautiful ocean out the windows. Definitely would stay here again.

Ocean View Village Sanctuary
Location, location, location!! Right across the street from the beach with a beach view out the bedroom window. Lots to do in walking distance. We loved our stay in Capitola!

Daisy’s Hideaway
This apartment was exactly as listed! Beautiful view with small porch that had a small table perfect for a romantic dinner. Surrounding area has a lot of food options and a local saloon downstairs. Walking distance to the mission. Cara was very responsive when it came to asking any questions. I would definitely recommend this location. 10/10 stay!

❤ of Capitola Village with Private Yard + Parking
We loved our weekend at Jamie's amazing apartment in Capitola! It was so easy to walk to the beach and we loved hanging out in the beautiful backyard with our little one. Perfect spot for our little family's getaway to the beach!

New 1-Bedroom apartment in Beautiful Santa Cruz
Kimber was a very friendly host and helped out when needed! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay as it was the perfect, most comfortable place to come back to after a long day out.

Couple's Cozy Country Getaway
We had a great time staying here. We had some trouble getting in the gate because even though Maria messaged me what the gate code was I kept thinking and looking back at their old gate code in the listing. Luckily we got it sorted out but it was a lil confusing at first. We also weren’t quite sure which way was ok to drive to the place. Like drive behind their house or cut right in front of their house to get to the place, there weren’t any instructions so we did both lol. We were also a lil bummed that there was no outside seating like shown in the pictures. We drove around their house a couple times trynna make sure we were at the right building because we were looking for the outside furniture for us to know we were at the right place. Once again we figured it out. It was overall a beautiful surrounding at the house and so many flowers. We had a great time and would stay again. I would recommend Maria’s place for sure so peaceful and quiet it was very very nice. Thank you Maria

Capitola Seaside Studio Apartment
Surf City - Capitola GEM, cozy little spot with all the creature co.forts of home. This property is like a Swiss Army Knife, every appliance and utensils you'd ever need for a comfortable stay. Love this place, clean, great furnishings for a quick getaway. Will definitely be back.

Cozy, peaceful Beach Getaway!
We had an amazing stay at Howard’s Place! Literally steps from the beach. Howard was very communicative and always responded if we reached out to him. The community is also amazing! We had an issue with the blinds not working and they came the next day and fixed them. They provide wheelbarrows for luggage and have a private pond. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks Howard!

LOVELY 3 BEDROOM RENTAL UNIT IN San Jose
Great house. The rooms and space was excellent and Ann responded very quick to a few inquiries. Great host.

Stylish space with ocean views
Very cozy and quiet with a “home” feeling. Will definitely up look this location again when we return to Monterey/Carmel.

Monterey Bay beach getaway 2BR
A wonderful place to stay! The kind of stay you want to keep secret it was so great. Beautiful ocean view and very close to Monterey. Krista was very helpful. Would absolutely stay again!

LTR close to everything Carmel Studio
Great place.

Stylish Studio with Queen Bed Near Beach& Downtown
Had a great stay! The place was super clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable trip. The host was responsive and helpful throughout. Only thing to note is that the walls are a bit thin, but that’s not the host’s fault—just something to keep in mind. Would definitely stay again!

Sea Breeze and Sunsets 230H
Super easy and friendly check in. Out of the many, many Airbnb/VRBO/etc rentals I’ve done in past decade, this was the first one actually managed by a ‘company’ so I was kind of worried it would be a distant kind of feeling vibe. Not even…very nice folks and once at the property everything checked out fine. Clean and ready to enjoy. Parking was very easy and the views and sounds of the ocean priceless. I’ve stayed in this complex before and found that either the folks upstairs/nextdoor at this unit were very quiet/empty, or this unit is soundproofed pretty well. Nice. Didn’t cook on this trip but did notice that there was MORE than adequate kitchen sundries and supplies that would have made cooking super easy. Definitely pride of ownership reflected in the high end finishes of the kitchen and bathrooms and quality of choices- would definitely and PLAN to return come football season!

Cannery Row Bungalow
Ann's place is awesome for exploring Monterey and the surrounding areas. It was great not having to worry about paying to park downtown. Everything you'd want to do is within walking distance, from the beaches to shopping and dining to the Aquarium. Ann was very accommodating and allowed for an earlier check in which was very much appreciated. Would definitely stay here again!!

Bright & Beautiful 2/1 Bath @ San Jose
Tom was excellent from start to finish. Everything that was advertised about the place was true, and he checked in with us thought the stay. Gladly recommend this stay for professionals or families visiting the Bay Area.

Beautiful Stay and very helpful host! Great amenities and the sunset views are stunning. Plenty of parking and things to do in the area Will definitely try to be back!

Breathtaking Carmel Penthouse Suite w/ Brad Pitt!
Absolutely loved this location. Quiet and peaceful, with the most amazing view. The bathroom is huge with an amazing whirlpool tub. It was extremely clean and felt so private. Fantastic place to spend a romantic weekend. We were not asked to do any cleaning, and checkout was extremely fast and simple. I would love to come again, and would recommend it to anyone.

Luxury Villa - Flora View - Ground Level -Seascape
We had a wonderful stay this past weekend! The place was very clean a day modern. We loved all of the amenities they offered. it was the perfect place for our family of 4 to relax in such a beautiful space. Thank you! We will be back!

Seascape Beach Resort condo with ocean view
Probably the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in in terms of being a clean, well stocked place. So many little details done right. Charging docks on all the night stands. A “did you forget anything” toiletry basket in the restroom. The well equipped kitchen and selection of coffee from Keurig to Nespresso. A lot of care was put into this home and it’s well worth the asking price. As far as location, proximity to the beach, and views - that is all self explanatory. I had an amazing time, and will certainly book again.

Manresa Surf House 1 bed upstairs unit #4
Great shared space with a bbq and patio to hang out on! Would recommend for groups or big gatherings!

Sunset and the beach at Seascape
We stayed at Kathleen's place for Thanksgiving, just after some torrential storms. The weather, however, was fantastic, and we enjoyed the pool and hot tub (saltwater--a pleasant surprise!). The beach was really great; our girls really enjoyed hunting for sea glass. Our older one discovered some old glass that dated back to pre-WWII and had trace amounts of uranium in it (it glows bright green under UV light). After that, looking for sea glass was all they wanted to do.... I don't know if all Seascape units are as nicely appointed, but this one was clean, modern, and comfortable. I can't recall if it is in the description, but it has a nice collection of puzzles and board games.
