Find Places to Stay in Aptos on Airbnb

Magical place, closer to Capitola and to great beaches! The mushroom dome is unique, very comfortable and Kitty is a sweetheart. Her dog Elliot is also a formidable companion :) The place invites you to disconnect, enjoy nature, cook, rest. It was the perfect setting to celebrate my partner’s birthday!

Kitty gave clear directions on how to get to the cabin and even personally met us at the driveway so we could get to know our hostess which was so nice. We were a little put off by the idea of a compostable toilet but after experiencing one and how clean and easy it seemed to maintain we're looking into replacing our standard toilet for a compostable one as well! Her cat milo was so friendly, although I'm allergic I couldn't help but show some love...and take some claritin! The landscaping was breathtaking throughout. Can't wait to come back with a book or two to read and enjoy in the garden. Kitty has a rulebook put together which some may find daunting...but if you read through the rules are pretty common sense. We loved her sense of humor and are looking forward to booking again soon.

Quiet, relaxing and quirky...enjoyed my stay!

This was by far one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever encountered. Such a serene and beautiful environment. Kitty and Michael are incredible hosts and made us feel extremely welcome.

Very great hosts and Kitty will take the extra time to welcome you and provide a little history about the place. The environment is serene and relaxing especially sitting on the deck drinking coffee and or having breakfast.

Kitty and Michael are gracious, kind-hearted super hosts. You will fall in love with the Mushroom Dome; my two friends and I felt at-home very quickly. The location is beautiful, the hosts are absolutely lovely, and the place itself is breathtaking. The bed upstairs is super comfortable and the shower is pleasant as well, with water that warms up right away. The Mushroom Dome is incredibly charming, and hearing about it’s history from Kitty adds another element of awe to your experience. This was my friends’ and I first AriBnB experience, and we feel so lucky to have chosen such a perfect place. None of us stumbled across any issues with our stay, and our entire trip was smooth and enjoyable. If you find dates that work for you, I urge you to book, I can’t imagine anyone regretting this stay!

Even if you expect it to be perfect, Kitty & Michael will give your time a chance to expand your concept of perfection

Super lovely dome in the woods!! Highly recommend!

Gorgeous home. I wish I would have stayed longer this home and place is so special and amazing. Stephanie was a great hots we had a small problem with hot water, but she handled is so fast and responded to all my messages very quickly. I cannot recommend this more. Will DEFIANTLY be back anytime i’m in Santa Cruz.

This place is the perfect getaway for couples or solo travelers. The outdoor patio, fireplace and bathroom were the highlights of our stay. Highly recommend for anyone interested in a glamping experience.

Stephanie’s place was one of a kind. It was a great way to get into glamping since the place was very unique. The bed was extremely comfortable and the outdoor bathroom set up alone was already enough for us to book the place asap. I would definitely do it again however would take a car with higher clearance to get up a small steep hill

Perfect for a getaway

The bnb is as listed, Stephanie was great about making sure I could find the place. The bath house is just lovely and honestly the reason I booked the bnb. As long as you’re prepared to have basic amenities, it’s an absolutely lovely location in the redwoods where you can escape everyday life.

The outdoor bathhouse is absolutely magical!! I would stay here again just for the bath house. Stephanie also offered great recommendations on local food and was responsive and quick!

Stephanie’s place was good. We got our privacy. The shower was nice. Would stay here again.

Very cute space.

Unique. Beautiful and special, like something out of a story. Not like any vacation house we've ever stayed in.

Stay. Here. Make it a point to spend 2 or 3 days in this remarkable space. The treehouse is amazing, the hospitality is warm, and the opportunity to literally "get away from it all" is priceless. I knew it would be cool. I mean, c'mon, it's a TREEHOUSE. What I didn't know was how a weekend away from the kids could reignite my joyfulness.

Fabulous, magical night in the redwoods. Bring a book and someone you love.

Lovely treehouse with plenty of space and amenities to make your stay comfortable. Beautiful short hike to reach the treehouse. Only downside was that it was nosier than we expected with neighboring homes running saws, leaf blowers and even target practice... we could see a road and other homes so while it was private it was not isolated.

What a great place! A restorative weekend with girlfriends. Kitchen has great supplies for cooking and Mary Jane is very hospitable.

Love staying here! Such a special gem in the woods. Super sweet hosts too!

I really appreciated staying in tree house, so nice ,clean and cozy’s, I definitely coming back soon.

Lovely space, very quiet and peaceful.

Beautiful home, very comfortable stay

Janiece was a great host. We had everything we needed. The house was amazing. I loved that the house was close to parks. We had a great time.

The tree house is chic! The scenery is pretty good too! It's a bit cold in winter, and the heating equipment in the house is not good enough.

My favorite Airbnb by far.

The treehouse is such a magical place and words cannot fully describe its beauty. During the night of our stay, the forest was filled with fog. Under the moonlight it truly feels out of the world. Waking up to the sunrise, we even saw some deer wandering through the forest outside. Inside of the house is super clean, well organized and comfortable. The bathroom is a bit on the small side. But for us it worked out perfectly fine.

Perfect family getaway. Beautiful place, very well equipped, a unique experience!

The treehouse was awesome! The place had beautiful views of the ocean which offered a scenic place to sip on coffee in the morning. The house is completely unique and fun to explore. The beds were so comfortable too!!

Beautiful unique home. Amazing stay!

Amazing!! Such a nice place to stay. My french bulldog, Callie loved her stay as well!

The description is spot on. Absolutley no complaints! The owls at night are relaxing and the little cottage was so cozy and cute. It was very clean and Michele was incredibly thoughtful when it came to extra sweet surprises for my fiance and I's anniversary.

Beautiful little cottage. Gorgeous deck and great location. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Beautiful space. Excellent communication. Super clean and the deck was incredible. Stayed for 3 weeks and felt overwhelmed leaving such a gorgeous place. Thank you so much Michelle for everything !

Very clean, well situated cottage. My boyfriend and I stayed here for a birthday getaway. Only 10 minutes away from Santa Cruz, which was great. Lots of beautiful hikes nearby. Sounds of owls in the woods at night. So nice!

Great location, cute space, great communication and totally comfy!

Great spot!! My son and his girlfriend loved it.

Michele and Matt are wonderful people! Their cottage is perfect for a relaxing getaway. I spent much of my time relaxing on the quiet serene deck looking out into the woods above the creek. I would highly recommend!

This was one of the best air bnb experiences we’ve had! Beautiful location near everything we could hope for! The cabin is such a well thought out space with everything you need! The tub on the deck was truly magical and our favorite past time while staying there! If you appreciate classic rock, the memorabilia was superb! Jay was an excellent host and took really good care of us while still providing us total privacy! Will definitely come back someday!

Fantastic stay surrounded by the mighty redwoods. The PERFECT stay if you wish for some relaxation and rejuvenation.

Just what we needed. Nice relaxing private getaway in the redwoods! Jay and Lisa’s place has everything you need- full kitchen, wood burning fireplace, hot tub, amazing views and great hospitality! Beautiful flowers were there upon arrival along with robes and sandals. We will be back for sure!

Great place and host!

Second time staying here. My partner really love this spot- it has everything we need - hot tub, cozy fireplace, piano, nature, close to everything. Great hosts- thanks again for having us

A special place! Highlight is the back deck nestled in the redwoods. Morning coffee listening to the birds was a dream. Many thoughtful touches like skylights, jacuzzi tub, fireplace and books galore. Short drive brought us hiking in Nisene Marks SP, antiquing in downtown Capitola and trying new beers at Discretion Brewing. Wonderfully relaxing, we plan to return someday.

We loved staying here! The hosts were great and the area is beautiful!

Perfect place to stay. Clean, private, cool decor, jacuzzi on the deck, about 15 minutes to the ocean. There is even a piano where we taught ourselves to play Somewhere Over the Rainbow. We have traveled a lot in the past couple of years staying at various Airbnb’s & this cottage nestled in the redwoods tops our list. It is a magical place. Thank you Jay & Lisa for being awesome hosts. We hope to return someday. Peace

Cozy and well-organized place in a great location. Communication was fast and we especially appreciated Dianne‘s flexibility with checkout.

Lovely home,great location, and great hosts.

Dianne was a great host! Quick to respond, and her loft is the perfect location to visit the boardwalk and local shops. Staying here made for a great first trip to Santa Cruz :)

Our stay here was absolutely wonderful. Dianne’s place is located in the perfect location - walking distance to plenty of delicious restaurants and cute shops. Her place itself is extremely clean and very comfortable. Would absolutely stay here again!

Wonderful place! Thanks to Dianne for a very smooth stay.

It was awesome!

The place is even better than advertised! Really enjoyed our stay in this cottage. Perfect location and really thoughtful touches make this place special.

Cozy space for a quick trip into SC :)

What an amazingly peaceful retreat! The apartment is private with its own entrance and a beautiful view. Tawnya was communicative at every step of the way. Went up for a night with some friends, was a perfect spot for 3 people to relax and escape city life. Having a dip in the hot tub in the morning was just an incredible treat! We'll definitely be back :)

Tawnya's place was lovely. The check-in was smooth, and there were lots of helpful signs and labels around the place to make everything easy to figure out. The space was clean and comfortable, and it was a treat to sit in the hot tub on a cool night. It has a secluded feel, yet you're close to town and lots of things to do. Recommended!

Had a great experience staying at Tawnya’s place. Perfect location for an intimate stay. Will definitely book again!

Cozy, simple yet well equipped. Perfect little retreat place tucked away but close to everything. Wish we could have stayed longer!

My wife and I spent a very nice weekend here while we were in town for a friend's wedding. The location is great--pretty easy to get to from highway 1, but just far enough away from everything to feel very tranquil. We loved being able to get to several beaches and breweries with less than 10 minutes of driving. The space itself is great and cozy. We especially liked the comfy bed, listening to the owls at night, and the treats in the kitchen--it's so nice not to have to go out when you need a quick snack or coffee.

I'm SO glad I found this little slice of heaven for my birthday weekend with two girlfriends. It's beyond peaceful and rejuvenating, tucked right in the trees. The space is perfect and sprinkled with the most thoughtful touches. It felt like a spiritual retreat. Tawnya was an amazing host -- she went above and beyond to help with a birthday surprise and also provided recommendations on where to eat (lots of vegan options in the area!). We even had everything we needed to cook dinner one night in the super cute kitchen. Great location and easy to get to both Santa Cruz and Capitola.

This house is enchanted, perched in the beautiful Redwoods. It felt like a true getaway. The jacuzzi was absolutely perfect for star gazing at night. And it’s right around the corner from the best BBQ I’ve ever had and an amazing forest for exploring. The host was very kind and considerate! I accidentally left my bathing suit in the room, and she promptly offered to send it straight to my house! I definitely recommend this stay and hope to be back some day!

Definitely the perfect little getaway! The fireplace heater built into the wall next to the bed was the cherry on top!

Amazing space. Has everything you need for a weekend getaway — and more! The beautiful sun room is lovely in the morning, and the garden is gorgeous. A short walk to the beach, lots of restaurants nearby, and very cozy. Loved it! Hope to stay again.

Very cute private add on to their house, perfect for 2! Mark and Jan were very creative with their makeshift “kitchenette” we were impressed! They left great breakfast options that we weren’t expecting; pastries, fresh fruit, yogurt, orange juice, and cereal with Keurig coffee (we loved the pastries!). In the room there is a binder full of information about the area. Apparently there is an abandoned concrete ship near their house, that was really cool the see! Also they are walking distance from Marianne’s Ice Cream shop that was ridiculously good. Mark and Jan responded quickly to all my questions and were super helpful to make my husband’s birthday a fun one. We enjoyed our stay!

I wish it were possible to give more than five stars for how much I enjoyed my stay. The space was nice and cozy and the host was very friendly and hospitable. I was extremely happy with my stay and would recommend this space to anyone seeking peace and serenity as they tour the area.

I don’t want to give an honest review, because I would hate for this place to not be open on a weekend I want to stay there, but it was perfect. Mark and Jan have a wonderful place near the beach. The room is great, but the sunroom really makes this place pop. If you don’t spend time in the sunroom, you are really doing yourself a disservice. If you are staying in the area and want wonderful hosts and an amazing place to stay, you really can’t go wrong staying here. If you somehow have a bad time staying here, it has to be something you did wrong, because Mark and Jan did everything right with this space.

My stay in mark and Jan’s place could not have been better. Both the value and the cookies were excellent!!! Thank you both!

One of the best Airbnb’s I’ve been to. Super nice people and they were very flexible with helping me out with times. Very nice house as well in an amazing location.

tranquil. peaceful. easy self check in with a code will bring you to a beautiful private space. sunny yard, comfortable and bright sun room, extremely clean and comfortable living area inside. space heaters warm the place up quickly when the sun isn't shining. everything about the place is plush and cozy. in a quiet and safe neighborhood, short walk to the ocean, birds chirping in the morning. mini fridge and dishes, everything you need to prepare a snack or enjoy take out. there's coffee and tea, creamer and munchies (even homemade treats!). two of us stayed here for a couple nights and thoroughly enjoyed our time. thank you Mark and Jan for offering this lovely space.

Such a lovely place, exceptional hosts and a beautiful environment. Everything about this experience exceeded my expectations. Can’t wait to revisit.

Liz has such a nice place! We had a great experience. She was quick to respond and wanted to make sure our stay was great (which it was). We loved how close the beach was (5 minute walk) and there were quite a few restaurants close enough to walk. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

great spot for single traveler or a couple! amazing location, so close to the beach! very clean and cozy (:

We stayed at Liz's over a weekend to get away from it all for a little bit. Liz was quick to respond and communication was a breeze. Check-in was extremely easy as well. The best part about the bnb was how close it was to the beach. We had planned to spend most of the weekend in Santa Cruz but the Rio del Mar beach just a few blocks away from the bnb ended up being a much better idea and is where we ended up spending most of the weekend. Also, the bed was ridiculously comfy. Would definitely recommend both Aptos and Liz's bnb if you're looking for a low-key and relaxing get away.

Great place and location. Perfect for one person or a couple looking for a quiet place within walking distance to the beach. Very clean, stylish and quiet. I would stay here again!

It was great

Perfect location for a relaxing getaway of reading and hanging out that beach. Very short walk to the beach and easy parking.

It was cute with a great location and a very responsive host.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Liz’s place. Easy walking access to the beach, just as she indicated. The neighborhood feels very safe and family oriented. Everything was immaculately clean and it was really nice to have a private patio to use. The location is close to Aptos Village which has a nice strip of restaurants, bars, etc. I would definitely recommend this place and stay there again if/when I am in the area.

Laura’s place was perfect for a long weekend getaway with my daughter. We loved the woodsy setting and the little kitchen was a great, helpful touch. Laura’s communication was quick and helpful and made the stay a breeze.

Beautiful. There truly aren't words for this amazing place. ❤️

The tree house was great!

Lovely stay in a lovely location.

The location was beautiful. Wish I could have spent more time there. Only problem I had was the heater made a ticking noise that kept waking me up. Other than that it was a perfect getaway!

We really enjoyed our stay, Very cute place, extremely quiet and relaxing.

Perfect spot for a weekend getaway!

the place is a bit remote, but it is clean, cozy, and has a beautiful deck view for morning coffee. Laura was very responsive and accurate--highly recommend.

We stayed for 2 days to visit and we felt at home, every detail makes you feel very comfortable, recommended and we hope to return soon, Chris always attentive, thank you very much! all super cute!

Charming and cozy place for one or two people. Enjoyed the décor. Close to Capitola, beaches, Santa Cruz, Watsonville, etc.

Lovey place

This place exceeded all expectations! From the adorable well lit path to our private entrance , the homey touches like soft lighting and decorations , the amazingly soft and cozy bed, and spacious bathroom . The place had EVERYTHING you would ever need and then some. Perfect in every way :)

Chris's place was awesome. Great location to get to the beach and for a hike. A nice weekend getaway.

This may well be my favorite AirBnB that we have visited. It is so cozy and charming with colorful art, and well stocked with thoughtful amenities. There is a comfortable bed and a generous supply of towels. There is plenty of space for two people with a nice sized living area. I appreciated the lovely lights on the path to the private entrance. My only regret is that we didn’t stay longer.

Amazing place and so happy I was able To stay here! Highly recommend it!

Chris place was amazing ! Cozy place with everything needed ! Everything was clean and the host was responsive and helpful !

This is such a peaceful and calm place—I would highly recommend to everyone!

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Kitty's place, which is nestled on a wooded hillside just a short drive from Aptos. Kitty met us when we arrived to show us the place and gave us some great tips on local places to check out. The apartment was super cozy and warm, and we loved how serene and peaceful it was to hang out on the patio and watch the hummingbirds. Kitty was a great host, and we really enjoyed chatting with her and meeting her friendly dog Elliott and sweet cat named Milo. Highly recommend Kitty's place for anyone looking to have an escape from city life!

"back to nature" sort of a place. A unique experience. The host was nice and so were the pets. We had a 2 year old with us.. She seemed to enjoy the company of the pets especially.

This place is magical. If you need a little disconnect from the world and a reconnect with yourself, nature and your Higher Power - this is it! Truly a hidden gem.

Amazing stay. The space itself is quaint and beautiful, but the hosts are what really make this place special. They are wonderful human beings. My friend and I a chance to sit and talk to Kitty and man... if you want some good conversation and stories you should definitely get to know her. Great home, great people, awesome energy. I feel so inspired after this stay.

Loved it here! (: Bathroom was definitely a interesting experience, but we had an amazing time. Kitty is the sweetest!

Pictures can't fully capture the beauty and peaceful energy of the Hummingbird Haven -- the suite is BEAUTIFUL, clean, and equipped with everything you could possibly need (popcorn machine, lots of games and DVDs, cooking supplies/utensils, and Wi-Fi if you can't get off the grid). The hummingbirds - an absolute wonder to watch so many birds soaring back and forth between the various feeders. We captured so many beautiful photos on our phones and DSLR. Kitty was an incredibly sweet and attentive host who truly made us feel welcome at the haven. Although nestled in the woods, just ~5-10 minutes away, we had access to food, gas, groceries, etc. Drove a bit further out and we were hiking in the Redwoods and relaxing on the beach. If you've been eyeing the mushroom dome, I would strongly consider a stay at the Hummingbird Haven, as it offers the same host, hospitality, and views -- with an even homier feel. We feel blessed to have had this visit and would gladly come again and stay on either property.

Kitty and Michael were both great hosts! Kitty greeted us and gave us a tour and explanation of the space and property. They made us feel very welcomed. The space was comfy and the view was gorgeous. We saw quite a few hummingbirds, and the goats!

absolutely awesome find!! great stay even in cloudy/rainy weather. will be coming back in the summer for sure.

Excellent experience at Ohana! Everything was absolutely perfect and we will definitely be back!

Such a great place to relax and unwind, full of many special touches and kind generous hosts who gave us the space to feel like we were completely to ourselves but easily accessible and available to help :) highly recommend

Beautiful location with amazing hosts. Definitely would recommend to anyone who is looking to stay in the area!

Peaceful, quaint and quiet. Very clean. Relaxing! Loved it!

This place is truly wonderful, and the hosts are great and very responsive. Between the hot tub, fire pit, and outdoor kitchen and shower, we spent most of our time outside and absolutely loved it. I’m looking forward to coming back!

This place is everything you could possibly want in a relaxing getaway. It is amazing. The out door shower is absolutely beautiful and relaxing. Everything is very clean and organized. The host are both amazing people. Words cannot describe how great the host are! Out stay was wonderful, we didn’t want to leave. We will definitely be coming back. If your looking for great host, great location, amazing amenities and just a relaxing beautiful getaway then definitely stay at the Ohona with Kevin and Linda.

This stay is so pleasant. The hot tub, sauna, dart board, fire pit were all great amenities to have. Linda and Kevin left little snacks and welcome things for us. It was so sweet! The location is great and the stay is so well done.

A beautiful home among the redwoods! Great amenities and sparkling clean! Quiet and peaceful.

We have stayed here twice and have loved it both times! Nestled close enough to town to have easy access to what ever you need (including grocery stores and close access to the highway) but far enough away to feel like an escape. Great proximity to Nisene Marks if you’re a hiker - I totally recommend spending a day there. The redwoods are breathtaking. Laura was helpful and responsive. The place is always clean, welcoming and is missed the moment we leave. Thanks again!

The space was comfortable and relaxing, loved the skylights. My husband saw a fox!

We loved the proximity to Aptos, Santa Cruz, beaches, and redwoods. The cleanliness, amenities, and overall space of the Fox Den made us feel like home, everything we needed and nothing we didn't. Laura was responsive and very accommodating and open to trying to help us with our constantly changing plans. We will definitely be trying to book here again!

Beautiful, clean and quiet. What a well planned space! LOTS of windows with natural light streaming through the redwoods. Having use of a washer and dryer turned out to be very handy after we went for a fun, peaceful and muddy hike in the forest. Laura has thought of everything from small basket of towels to be used for wiping the dew from the patio furniture to the nice bottle of red wine that greeted our arrival.

Beautiful space, tucked in the redwoods! I hope to come back when it's warmer to enjoy the back deck that smells of the redwoods and seems absolutely perfect for a book and a cup of tea. Loved all the light in the space and how quiet it was; close enough but far enough away. If you're really tall, the shower may be a challenge as the showerhead is low, but otherwise, the space is gorgeous and I will definitely look for it again when I am in the area!

Great place in a quiet beautiful area. It's quite tranquil and relaxing. Loved the ceiling windows. The place is very nicely decorated with foxes as a main theme - it's called The Fox Den for a reason. There are detailed instructions printed, so I had almost no questions. And Laura had promptly responded to a few ones I've had. The place has no mobile coverage, only WiFi. I'm on Ultra Mobile (T-Mobile's network) and had no signal. Laura mentioned that Sprint works there, though. Voice over WiFi worked, and there's a landline available as well. I've been there for a week, on a business trip (so was only there in the evenings), and I've definitely enjoyed my stay.

The Den was a great place for us to rest and enjoy! The location is fantastic and Laura was a great host. This stay is a great catch for anyone looking for a restful time.

Exactly as the pictures!

Very nice place to stay! Would definitely recommend to a friend.

Very nice place to stay and good hosts! Good location and very clean!

Clean and quiet studio, 5 minute drive to the beach. Great place to stay!

Great place with a great location. Would definitely recommend!

Dave and Shelly’s place is fantastic! It is squeaky clean and very comfortable. They have everything that you would need for a short or long stay. Would definitely like to stay there again!

Great place in a great location for a great price!!

Great space for two people to stay for a long weekend or short trip in the Santa Cruz area. It had all the basic amenities you’d need except for a kitchen, which was fine because they are plenty of restaurants and shops in close driving distance. Very easy to access of the main highway 1. Would rebook again!

A wonderful place to stay! Nicole (and her pup Charlie!) are welcoming and easy going. The space was clean and super convenient to the beach.

Such a cute space!! We loved our valentine’s day stay here. Nicole was a great host and Charlie (the pupper) was so cute!

Fantastic Place and location. Nicole and her pup Charlie were great. Highly suggest staying here.

Great place to stay, in the middle of everything when visiting the area.

Nicole and her dog Charlie were accommodating and welcoming hosts! The place itself is blocks away from the beach, and there is easy access to the highway to get to downtown Santa Cruz. All in all, a comfortable and relaxing stay.

Nicole’s home was adorable & inviting! The bedroom was tidy & the bathroom was sparkling clean, with a great shower head & ada accessibility. Her & her dog, Charlie, were very warm & welcoming. We would stay here again! Highly recommend!

Nicole has very clear communication about how to check in, where to park, and how to find her place. She messaged me a few days before and was communicative throughout our stay. We didn’t have the opportunity to meet Nicole and Charlie in person. Nevertheless, we enjoyed the room. The bathroom is shared and has a fancy Toto toilet. Shower head has great pressure. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Nicole’s place and would recommend others to stay with her.

Quaint little home in fantastic location! The host is so sweet and made our stay very comfortable and seamless. Her bathroom is very high-tech in the best way possible. Definitely would recommend.

This place is worth twice what it’s listed for. On the ocean, nice amenities, friendly host, great town in the Bay Area. If we are ever in the area again we will look here first.

Lisa’s place is wonderful! Great little private space with kitchen, has everything you need, and it’s close to the beach.

Lisa’s place was a wonderful experience with an excellent host . Location is great and in walking distance to the beach trails and local stores and restaurants. Lisa has made special touches in the guest quarters with a home feel. I definitely would recommend staying and enjoying what this place has to offer. I will definitely be returning.

Very cute, well decorated, and exceptionally clean. Lisa was super accommodating and approved a last minute stay for me and a friend. Her place is walking distance to the beach and few local restaurants. Overall a fantastic pace to stay!

Great location, very clean, stocked with all of the necessities. Great place to stay for two

Lisa was extremely hospitable and responsive, providing recommendations on activities and making check-in seamless. I also loved that it was walking distance to the beach, and the airbnb itself was comfortable to just relax in. I would book this place again for future visits in this area.

Lisa’s place is so wonderful. Beautiful home just a couple minute walk to the beach in Aptos. This was a work trip for me, but felt more like a relaxing beach vacation thanks to this lovely stay! The bed is so comfy and the kitchen has everything you need. The large TV was a treat as well. Highly recommended!

Lisa's place is more than we expect, the pictures didn't do it full justice. Everything is as she described and more. We will definitely return again.

Location to the forest ( we are mountain bikers), beach ( morning run) and Santa Cruz and Monterrey is great! View from the living room is amazing !

Beautiful views with a short walk to the beach. Safe neighborhood and clean home.

What a beautiful location with views of the beach from the couch. Just breath taking sunsets we hardly ever watched tv. We had such a fun trip! It was clean and decorated beautifully. Such a quiet place except for the wonderful sounds of the ocean. If we needed anything our host was just a phone call away. We can’t wait to return to this beautiful beach home.

This is an incredible opportunity to be beach front with amazing views and sounds of the ocean at all times. Cute little downtown with a few restaurants as well. Couldn't get enough of the sunsets!

This place is amazing!!

This is really an exceptional place. Spectacular (and I mean spectacular!) views of the Ocean, updated appliances and features, great communication. I come to the Santa Cruz area 3-4 times a year and I will try and get this place every time.

Stunning view. Space is perfect for a couple nights by the ocean. We will definitely come back and recommend this place

Absolutely stunning location! Lots to do close by! Great hosts!

Delia is a great host! She made granola for our breakfast in the morning and stoked a fire for us at night. We really enjoyed the peace and quiet here, especially sitting in the hot tub under the stars!

Deli is a warm and gracious hostess from the moment you reserve with her. She is attentive from beginning to end. There are so many wonderful things to mention about this place, I don’t even know where to begin! First of all, Aptos provides the beautiful setting, but Delia does the rest. Just think... hot tub fun under the stars... a cozy fire pit and a glass of wine... warm scones in the morning... complete bliss! After a long day of traveling, Delia’s place was just what the doctor ordered. I highly recommend this Airbnb!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kindest woman who loves her space and sharing it with others. Left little thoughtful touches throughout the space for a birthday we were celebrating. A must stay!

Wonderful little gem!

You will be lucky and thrilled if you’re able to book these romantic rendezvous. Was really mesmerized by the area and this spot was so cozy.

Delia's home is a beautiful retreat in the midst of old growth redwoods. We felt right at home and enjoyed DELICIOUS hot homemade scones and granola in the morning after a night of lounging in the hot tub, in front of the fire, and luxurious sleep. Delia was respectful of our privacy, available for any questions, and recommended local hikes. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Beautiful space and Delia was very friendly. The space was clean and well kept. I really appreciated that she told us about some local hikes and gave us fresh, delicious granola in the morning with milk. Thank you!

Lovely space, with a gracious host, warm scones, great lighting options, and a lovely private beautifully landscaped deck with fire pit and hot tub.

Great location!

Comfy and quiet space to stay in

Super cute and clean place right next to the beach! We really appreciated the booklet of local spots and loved staying with Joe.

Great place stay & surroundings are beautiful!

The room was very clean, they provided a list of nearby bars, restaurants and things to do. We checked out a couple of them and we’re all great suggestions. Thanks Joe!

Super relaxing stay!

Very nice location and cute room

Beautiful studio, nice shower, very clean and organized and it’s soooo close to the beach and shops and restaurants. Definitely will be coming back!

This tiny house is set within the Redwoods, but also close to beaches. Capitola is a beautiful place and worth a visit. As is big basin redwoods state park. Relax at night in the roomy hot tub and you will not want to leave. Perfect place to stay if you're planning on driving the Pacific coastal road as part of your trip, which is absolutely stunning.

Anne’s tiny house cottage is a charming and delightful retreat tucked away in an idyllic forest getaway! Her hospitality was top notch! Highly recommended!

This place is fabulous! The large tiny house door and ample private outdoor space really made the tiny house feel bigger. Also, it’s a tiny house- I’m surprised to have read some of the reviews complaining about size. Pictures are accurate and there was even more outdoor space than anticipated. The loft was quite spacious as well. I went solo for three nights and it all felt very private- loved the jacuzzi and so much to do nearby. Did lots of hikes and beaches; even drove the 80min for a day in Big Sur. It’s amazing how remote the location felt and yet plenty of grocery shopping/places to eat within minutes (and again, beaches!). Happened to see Anne when I arrived, she was very kind and sweet with a quick tour then otherwise I didn’t see a soul! Highly recommend and will certainly be returning :)

A lovely, quaint, little place, with an incredible ambience. In the middle of the forest, with a jacuzzi, under the stars- it doesn’t get much better than this. Would recommend 100%.

Anne’s Redwood Retreat was everything we wanted for our romantic overnight / home base for a mountain bike weekend. Anne turned the heat in early so the guesthouse was nice and toasty when we arrived. The space is definitely cosy but was just right for the two of us, and the loft was really comfy with inviting lighting. The backyard and neighborhood are lovely. We didn’t get to use the hot tub but hope to return before too long!

We loved staying at Anne's! It was such a cute, cozy place to stay and she offered so many items that helped us cook and made our trip easier. The area is beautiful and she gave extremely helpful directions!

Stayed 3 nights here and I had an amazing stay! The property is very easy to find and extremely cozy! I noticed I didn’t have any cellular service, which added to my stay. It was a perfect getaway. I can’t wait to come back!

This was a lovely and cozy cabin nestled in the woods. It was close to town, but felt like a secluded area. The hot tub was perfect at night and the cabin had everything we could’ve possibly needed for our stay. The host was available if needed and very helpful on local tips/directions. We plan to return again and would suggest this AirBnB to anyone else!

Lovely, cute, cozy, and clean!

Had a great stay. When we entered she gave us recommendations for places to eat and beaches to visit. Would visit again.

Cute little decorated place near the beach that is perfect for a get away.

My husband and I were travelling in celebration of our 10 year wedding anniversary. We were so pleased with our stay at Maryann’s. The location of the cottage is perfect home base for travelling into Capitola, Santa Cruz, Monterrey, or enjoying the quietness of seaside and Aptos. The cottage itself should come with a ”beware of extreme relaxation” sign, as we through out most of our travel itinerary in exchange for the serenity and comforts the cottage offered. Maryann is an amazing host who goes out of her way to provide you with a welcoming experience. I really hope we can stay at the cottage again in the future. Thank you so much Maryann!

Maryann's place is charming, clean and comfortable. This place has all you need for nice, relaxing stay and the location is situated in a quiet neighborhood, but close enough to all Santa Cruz has to offer!

Maryann's place gets three Cs: Clean, cozy, comfortable.

Cute place. Great location. Check-in was easy. Maryann was very nice & friendly. Will definitely stay again in the future.

What a lovely little home! The house is beautifully decorated and filled with all the necessary supplies. Maryann is a wonderful host. Communication was smooth, and she provided precise directions and clear instructions for entry. I loved the little touches she added, like the welcome board with our names, the fresh organic fruit, and the delicious pumpkin bread. She also provided a lot of good recommendations for things to do and places to eat in the area; we found her suggestions very helpful. We wanted a place where we could relax and enjoy some peace and quiet, and this cottage was perfect for such a weekend.

Great hosts, Great Neighbors, Great food an overall great experience!

The casita was quaint and comfortable. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. Great stay :) We would definitely visit again. I love that it is in the woods and close to the beach!

Their place nestled out there in the forest is pretty much a perfect place to stay. They’ve really thought of everything and got it all taken care of. As long as you can handle stairs and don’t mind just a little bit of a drive, you can’t do any better than this AirBNB. A full deserved 5 stars for sure!

We had a great stay at La Casita. Wonderful hosts, excellent communication, outstanding location. Highly recommend a stay here.

Heidi and Daniel’s place is a cozy little getaway in the woods. It was the perfect spot to relax and recharge for a couple of days. We loved the little reading nooks and the wide selection of tea, coffee and hot chocolate. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to get off the beaten path and relax in nature.

Super cool place tucked away with beautiful redwoods all around!

Heidi and Daniel's place was just as advertised. Our family of three (including 1 toddler) had a wonderful weekend retreat at their cabin in the redwoods. We unfortunately had a lot of rain that weekend and couldn't go hiking as planned, but their cabin was so nice we spent most of the time browsing their extensive book collection, drinking coffee / wine, and just enjoying the chance to be away. They had wonderful touches that made the place particularly fun for our toddler (including a pull-out futon, bubble bath solution, coloring pencils and paper, and lots of picture books for children). We'd definitely recommend and would stay again given the opportunity.

Heidi and Daniels place was a great experience on all fronts. We had to get in super late from the bay - but the easy parking spot and code to get in the door made the late check in no problem. The place was full of interesting books and thoughtful ideas and activities. Bed super comfy, and coffee provided on wake up made it feel homey. Its walking distance to beautiful Nicene Marks and driving distance to Aptos, Capitola and Santa Cruz. Thanks Heidi and Daniel!

What an amazing place! Emberlie was an excellent host. She was so friendly and responded to questions we had quickly. The grounds were peaceful and beautiful. We feel rejuvenated and can’t wait to visit again!!!

I am so glad I found this place, it truly is a hidden gem. The drive there was nice, it was a mystery trying to find the place we didn’t know what to expect. Once we found the place it was like we found a hidden magical place in the forest. Emberlie was so sweet, she greeted us immediately with a warm smile and was so inviting. We enjoyed our stay so much and didn’t want to leave. It was such a lovely experience, I can’t wait to come back!

This place is amazing. The treehouse paired with the Om Oasis amenities made for the perfect relaxing getaway.

A gorgeous, magical place!!

AMAZING! Emberlie waited for me (even after I arrived hours later than my originally noted time), walked me through the property, and offered to help me with my bags. Will absolutely be back! I recommend this to anyone who is looking for a mountain getaway and enjoys the outdoors.

Such a special space, we didn’t want to leave. Hosts are very sweet, i used the yoga space which was very private and included mats, outdoor showers are amazing and the salt water spa bath is a lovely treat after a big day. It is a bit of an adventure to find but absolutely worth it! Would love to stay again and try the outside bath.

Far beyond my own expectations. The gardens, trees, succulents, and local animal populations make this place such an amazing and tranquil place to visit. But beyond the natural beauty of the property they have created a magical little Oasis with a clean pool, hot tubs, and small walking trails leading to all the other fantastic amenities the place has to offer. 10/10 would recommend to anyone

This is an amazing stay if you're looking to get away. The treehouse is truly peaceful and private. My girlfriend and I loved it but just remember to allow for drive time to and from places if you have reservations to make. It's a bit of a drive from Aptos but that's why it makes it a great getaway.

We had a great time, a great location!

The whole reason why we chose this Airbnb was because we love the beach theme. The pictures were very descriptive but when we went to the Airbnb it was way better in person. Claudia was an excellent host she gave us a tour as soon as we got there very spacious had a microwave or refrigerator in the whole breakfast area beautiful bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub beautiful shower with lots of room. I love the fact that in the bathroom she had make up remover individually package Q-tips cotton balls bobby pins rubber bands has great amenities. She provided us places to visit in things to do in the area we enjoy the hot tub. We were about 15 to 20 minutes away from the beach which we brought our own beach cruisers and rode down to the beach. We would definitely visit this plac

The space was fantastic! Would definitely recommend.

Great place to stay. I highly recommend it. Claudia is super nice and knowledgeable.

Beautiful backyard with a huge hot tub, awesome fire pit, and Claudia offered a speaker system for us to use outside too! The bathroom is just as amazing too with a huge shower and separate soaking tub with bubble bath provided! Great Airbnb!

Great

The perfect place! Claudia’s place is spotless, very clean and comfortable one bedroom with comfy bed. The bathroom is large with a walk-in shower and jetted bathtub. Living room has a pull out sofa sleeper and kitchenette with great amenities like coffee setup, dishes, and fridge. Claudia kindly takes care of your dishes each day. Would absolutely stay here again, excellent place.

Super cute and comfortable. We had a great trip!

Good place, not much on uber eats nearby: there's sushi, pizza, and a jack in a box

We had a great stay! The place is cute, cozy, and very clean. We loved the board game options and the location. I would recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area!

We had a lovely stay here

Cozy and clean place ! Great location. Loved the fully stocked kitchen, board games , tv (hulu,netflix,amazon ect.) and all the amenities the place came with. We enjoyed our stay and would love to stay here again!

Nice place, overall good stay.

The unit was clean, spacious, and complete with every amenity we could have wanted. Excellent heating for some chilly days and the most comfortable living room we’ve had the pleasure to spend time in. Our own carport space was also a nice convenience.

This is a great location 1 to 2 blocks from quaint restaurants where you can have a good local meal, then walk steps to the Seacliff Park, and meander across the street to Mariannes for ice cream. It is clean, comfortable, and good to hang out in or use as a base while you explore Monterey and Santa Cruz sites. Your host lives on premise and responsive to your needs. We loved it!

Jeanne's place was great. Good location close to restaurants and groceries. The beach walk was perfect! Found the Hole in the Wall and Severinos. Sunny days. Thank you!

Amazing place

The Om Oasis is a beautiful piece of land, the photos don‘t do it justice. :) The Oasis is really big, it offers so many places to sit and relax, it is quiet and peaceful yet only 10 min into the next town. The tree house has its own little area, so you will feel really private. Inside the tree house is everything you need, but make sure to check out the wonderful bamboo outside shower. We didn‘t use the private sauna and spa, but it looked great, and the pool/hot tub area gives you wonderful views into the landscape, surrounded by hummingbirds. If you are looking for a few quiet days of one of a kind camping and enjoying nature, this is the place to be!

The space and location was great for the time I needed it for. Great views would book the space again.

This place is amazing. It feels like a desert oasis tucked into the mountains. Watching the sunset from the hot tub is pure magic and all of the dwellings are far enough away from each other that you feel like there’s no one else on the property. The treehouse is the perfect amount of space and watching the sun rise through the skylight is perfect. I couldn’t have asked for anything more.

This place was so great, me and my wife had an amazing time and would love to come back again someday :)

Truly a hidden gem. This is where you would go to unplug from the everyday hustle and bustle. My girlfriend and I already miss the treehouse and how close to nature we felt. We can’t wait to come back here again!

My stay at the Ceder Treehouse was more than relaxing. They have so much to offer like private yoga lessons, flower aromatherapy baths, private hot tub and sauna and so much more. The land itself is breathtaking! I really enjoyed the flexibility and amazing hospitality of my host. If you’re looking to unwind this is definitely a place I would recommend.

Book the treehouse! A wonderful space, located on a stunning property. From the design of the treehouse, to hearing the owls at night and the woodpeckers during the day.. this is a hidden gem. Emberlie was the best host, there to welcome us and quick with replies. The treehouse is fun, comfortable, cozy and clean. The pool, hot tub, outdoor showers and sauna will make you feel you're in a place far from home. Can't recommend enough.

Very cool little cabin! Highly recommend for an unplugged respite getaway.

Really beautiful experience! My children and I enjoyed our weekend here and wished we could have stayed longer. Will definitely be back!

This was the most peaceful and relaxing location that we have experienced. It was a wonderful start to our trip and we hope to come back soon! This was scenic, secluded, and had amazing forest views which is just what we needed. It was also very accessible to the nearby town which made the commute easy! I would highly recommend to anyone!

Cal's cabin is amazing. Not only did he build it, but he's got a great story about his property. Make sure to ask him about it!!! The cabin was perfect for our overnight trip to Santa Cruz (He's about 20 mins south) for our wedding anniversary. The cabin is cozy. Perfect for a couple. The small heater heater warms up the entire cabin. Especially the loft area where the bed is. The outdoor shower is really cool and the water gets really hot so you don't even realize your outside. The cabin far exceeded my expectations and we will be returning soon just to get away from the city.

The perfectly clean, cute, and getaway cabin. My friends and I really enjoyed this cabin even if it was only for one night. Thank you again for your flexibility in extending our check-out by an hour! We would love to be back!

Amazing eco cabin in a redwoods enclave. Beautiful surroundings especially when the sun’s shining through the trees in the morning :) great (and warm) outdoor shower and personal touches. Recommend for a weekend escape!

We had a wonderful time staying at Cal and Zaharah's. Ours was a quick visit but Cal took extra care in getting us settled in and showing us the space. It was the perfect respite from the hectic city. The cabin is really cozy, quiet, clean and truly beautiful. Thank you!

This is an awesome getaway. You are going to have an absolutely amazing time. Would come back for sure

Wonderful to wake up to peace and quiet. Lovely view of the garden and trees from the balcony. We ended up spending less time out and about and more time sitting on the balcony, drinking tea, and reading books. I got halfway through A Man Called Jove. I met Rebecca for one of her massage therapy sessions and she said to take the book home with me. My husband enjoyed reading David Dillard-Wright's A Mindful Evening. The space was perfect for the two of us, everything is new and clean and warm and cozy. The kitchen has coffee and tea. The bathroom medicine cabinet has everything you might have forgotten. We felt very well taken care of. We hope to come back soon.

Rebecca’s Place was a perfect little resting spot as we traveled along Highway 1!

Rebecca's place is incredible. It is insanely clean and has nice personal touches throughout. The bed is comfortable and the kitchenette is perfect for a few day stay. You can hear the waves when sitting on the deck or if you leave the sliding door open. I would highly recommend this place for a romantic getaway. It is the perfect place to relax, unwind and reconnect with your significant other n a serene setting.

Wonderful stay at Rebecca’s place and highly recommend. The accommodation was in a great location near the beach and restaurants, all very walkable too. We love the outdoor porch, nice view to wake up to and enjoy a cup of coffee or wind down in the evening.

Gold standard for Airbnb. 5 stars well deserved! Cozy, crystal clean with a beautiful view and everything you could need. Forgot a toothbrush? There’s a brand new one in the medicine cabinet! Need a first aid kit? It’s under the sink! Get in late after everything is closed? The snacks will get you through! Have any questions? Just ask! Rebecca will get back to you in no time!

This was my first time using AirBnB for a stay anywhere other than home or hotels It was so cute and cozy, the host was sweet and responsive! 100% recommended and would book again! ❤️

Honestly one of the best spaces I have stayed in via Airbnb. Comfortable, clean and private. Hope to stay again soon!

shes was great

This place is a gem tucked away in the trees. Definitely a magical spot to relax and take it slow. A warm and steamy outdoor shower, a super comfy bed and a wall that opens up to the outside... can’t imagine anything better!!! Cal is really passionate about his land and it shows :)

Loved the place would definitely come back, the drive was a little tough but as soon as I reached it. It was all worth it. Loved the lighting and the view from the cabin and literally just spent hours taking in the amazing scenery.

Absolutely amazing! The stargazing is phenomenal and the surround Forest is gorgeous. Extremely nice hosts and fantastic little A-frame.

Great place to get away!

A cute, rustic spot to escape into the redwoods. Cal & Zaharah are very responsive and provided great hospitality. We received a thorough run through of the space as well as demonstration for how to use the A-frame & sunny deck. The space had a glamping-feel and great energy.

Amazing place for a sweet getaway

Their cute little get away was perfect even just for one night. If you live anywhere with light pollution, it’s really nice to just sit under the stars and listen to music. Had a cute little BBQ that came in handy for dinner and that pull out bed was amazing in the morning.

Such an amazing host with such a beautiful piece of land. Great wild life and perfect for a serene get away!

A fantastic suite steps away from gorgeous Pacific Ocean and Sparkling clean seacliff beach. I highly recommend this extremely clean and cozy suite for Your next beach vacation very reasonably priced for practically on the beach suite

The place was super clean, and private and the stay was very comfortable.

Great location and great place to stay. Ricardo was a great host and always quick with communication.

Enjoyed my stay at Ricardos place...Great location, and very good host!

Very nice place to stay.

Great spot, short walk to Seacliff State Park Beach.

Great place for a single person or a couple. Conveniently located and just a short walk to the beach. Comfy bed & Nespresso machine was a bonus if you’re a coffee drinker. I will definitely book again if I am in the area!

I visited Ricardo’s place for a quick get away to the coast. His location is right by the ocean (walking distance), and a quaint ice cream show with ~tons~ of flavors. It’s close to Capitola and Santa Cruz, and we even hopped over to Monterey quickly too! I love that there was a separate entrance and total privacy. Ricardo is extremely quick to respond if you have any issues or requests. There is plenty of space in the room, and everything is clean and tidy. 10/10 would recommend you visit!
