Condo in Aptos
4.96 out of 5 average rating, 27 reviews2 Bedroom Spectacular Ocean View - Heated Pools
HollyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Where do I start ... I tried to escape the fires in LA as I live in Calabasas, right over the hill from Malibu. Bad air and smoke had me congested and coughing, so I took off up north to breathe. I got so sick, went to the emergency clinic near by in Santa Cruz , and had caught Influenza A that was headed towards pneumonia. I was stuck in David's beautiful space, but looking out at the water helped me heal. I never made it to the beach, but can say that David is the best host ever! Fortunately, the condo was avail, and I stayed a few more days until I could have someone drive me back home. I want to come back when I can take advantage of everything the area has to offer. But wow, David is the best host ever! Holly

Campervan/RV in Half Moon Bay
4.89 out of 5 average rating, 9 reviewsBreathtaking CA Coast Airstream - Beachfront (NEW)
JasonRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Our family really enjoyed our time here. It was a once in a lifetime experience with breathtaking views and nice amenities. We are definitely planning on coming back soon. Overall a great experience. Note that there are 3 other camper vans in the same area, but it still felt quite private the way the property was laid out along with fencing. Additionally, it got quite cold at night and with the power saving mode the property implemented, the heater wasn't wasn't nearly as strong as we would have liked compared to what it as like during the day. Otherwise it was a fantastic stay.

The place was exactly as stated and a great deal for a private space, close enough to San Francisco for access while also away for peace.

I always choose to stay at Emrehans when I need a place near San Jose. Very beautiful, clean home/yard, great location. Emrehan communicates well and has been very accommodating to me. Very good price for the stay. Would recommend.

Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The home was peaceful and located in a quiet, friendly neighborhood with beautiful views. One of the biggest highlights was how welcoming they were to our pups. It made our stay even more enjoyable. Communication was excellent; they were always quick to respond to any questions we had. Overall, a fantastic experience, and we would definitely stay here again!

RochelleRating, 5 stars2 months ago
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.
