Aptos Ocean / Bayview Cottage near beaches. Pets & parking. Walkable to beach

9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (27)
"We loved the beach cottage near the beach. The owner was responsive to our questions, and we had great weather especially for January. The location was good as it was close to Santa Cruz and about a 40 minute drive to Monterey. We'll stay here again if we're in the area!"

4th house from Twin Lakes Beach and a 2 minute walk to the Crow’ Nest and Harbor

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (233)
"We love the location of this house! Only a couple blocks to the beach and to restaurants at the harbor. A great beach house! The only problem was that the back bedroom got very cold at night and we could not find any heat source in there. We would still return to this place though, the location is worth it!"

Beautiful 5 bedroom home just steps from the beach

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (32)
"Beautiful yard, beautiful furnishings. Everything was clearly marked and easy to use. They had everything we needed. Basement inlaw suite was wanted by all and we had to negotiate. The fridge was huge but like the microwave, was too high for much of my family, (4 of us are under 5'2"). They even had a few board games and puzzles. Was a little disappointed the puzzle we tried was missing pieces, but it is understandable."

Charming Romantic Yacht Harbor Beach Cottage

9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (279)
"We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this charming beach cottage! The highlight for us was the proximity to the beach and definitely the hot tub – it was the perfect way to unwind after a day spent exploring the beach. The cottage is incredibly dog-friendly, with two spacious, enclosed yards that gave our two pups plenty of room to play and relax. We also loved how easy it was to access the property, and cleanup was a breeze, making it the most stress-free vacation. The kitchen was...

Historic 1887 Carriage House Located On Landmark Property

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (102)
"We loved our stay. The cottage was literally steps to W. Cliff Drive with its trail along the ocean cliffs on the Westside of Santa Cruz. It was easy to see why the owner had won awards for restoration of the Carriage House. It was both beautiful and so thoughtfully done. Every day we noticed new details that were thematic, considerate or just pretty. Those little "surprises" were themselves a pleasure. Everything from the "horse" theme to the detail of the hardware chosen to the beach glass...
