Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Santa Cruz Beach

Absolutely loved our stay in Watsonville. Peaceful, and beautiful scenery. Perfect space for our family vacation.

This was an amazing place with a great location! We loved the space and especially the backyard! Would definitely recommend and next time we come to Capitola we will be booking this house!

We had a wonderful stay at Ali’s home. They were very responsive to all questions and requests. The location was perfect, very walkable to downtown and also the boardwalk, but private and peaceful at the same time. A perfect spot to explore and enjoy Santa Cruz!

We had a lovely stay at Pam’s place. The house is beautifully decorated, has all the amenities you could want and is well maintained.

What a lovely place for a brief staycation! Beautifully decorated and designed, with great access to the beach and shops and restaurants.

Great home base for a family trip to San Jose. Bedrooms were spacious, and having a king bed in every bedroom was quite nice.

Ronnie was great about communicating clearly and anticipating everything we'd need to know in order to check in smoothly. The house is super pretty and very comfy, with lots of special touches, a lovely gas fireplace for chilly coastal nights, comfortable beds and linens, plenty of towels, a nice shower, and lots of space to unpack! The kitchen is very well stocked, the backyard is beautiful (we loved to sit out there with breakfast pastries and coffee from the local cafe), and all the rooms are comfortable and beautifully decorated. We loved the bikes (in excellent condition) and the ping pong table. The house is a very easy walking distance to Private's Beach and the stores and restaurants. A really nice coffee shop with great pastries was a stone's throw away, and several nice dinner places. A perfect spot! I'm bummed that the place isn't available for our trip in June! Will check here first whenever we travel to SC.

Check in was super easy. The place is very cute and comfortable, and we had a great time. It’s an easy walk to downtown and the boardwalk, and we loved the restaurants in the area! Cafe Brazil has amazing food, BTW! Next time we’re in the area, Mermaid House will be our first choice!

Clean and organized. Had everything I needed to cook which is very important to me. Will stay again next time I’m in town.

We had such a great time!! The property was super clean. Jaime was very responsive. She had something we needed under an hour delivered to the front door! The area was cool, walkable & safe, lots of restaurants, ocean just a couple of blocks away, and lots of local artisan shops to visit. The property looked like the pictures and two big windows that brought the sunlight in was really nice , too. Very nice vibes here. We will be back!

My family and I came out to California after experiencing a monumental loss. I wanted a quiet and beautiful place for us to get away for a few days, to heal some and meet up with near by family to handle a few personal matters. It was peaceful and beautiful, everything I ever hoped for. Gary and his wife were beyond kind and helpful, and I’ll absolutely come back.

Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay. Well equipped kitchen and it was fun to spend some time enjoying the view.

The place was great! Both bedrooms were a good size and had closets and dressers to put clothes away. The entire space was really clean and felt comfortable. The property has heated pools, a playground, walking paths and beach access. It was great for us and our two young kids!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We appreciated that it is independently owned, including the community activism to give back. The location was great, we were able to walk to the beach for dinner; and a short drive to the college and other areas.

Convenient location. Hotel quality without the hotel feel and for a great price. Have to download an app to park, and had trouble unlocking garage gate on first night, but host was super responsive and helped resolve the issue quickly. Would book again.

I stayed here for about a week with my two kids for spring break. I felt very safe here traveling without a partner - right across the street from the police station, next to the fire house, and secure locks on the doors. This place was perfect! Fully stocked kitchen, walking distance from downtown and the beach, lots of space for us plus a few friends who came to visit. Hosts are very responsive and helpful. I'd stay here again!

Marshall and his family were so welcoming and made our short stay so pleasant. We can’t wait to come back, beautiful property beautiful family and great place

Tranquility Base…surely lived up to its name. So comfortable, so charming we felt like a part of the forest. The whole place had so much personality we felt right at home Magical and enchanting getaway Highly recommended We’ll be back

My whole family absolutely loved and enjoyed this place! The surroundings were breathtaking and our dog loved exploring the grounds also. Home was very comfortable although I do wish it had some toothpaste since we forgot ours lol other than that my kids (18, 7, 3) all thoroughly enjoyed this stay and all the cool creatures and bugs they found outside. The weather was perfect for a fire pit with smores and a nice bottle of wine. We would most definitely stay here again!

Enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cabin! Falling asleep to the sound of the stream was just lovely and the bed is SO plush! We enjoyed walking down the small pathway next to the stream, spotting cute banana slugs and red newts amongst the redwoods. Rachel was very responsive for anything we needed. There is a shared wall to the home and the co-host living there was quiet and respectful. Location is everything! Being only 10 mins from town and its so easy to get to was pretty spoiling. We craved japanese food and boba which only took around 18 minutes to get wherever we wanted to go. Such a beautiful home you have! Thank's for offering it so others can experience the calm it brings. We went to relax and unwind, honestly didn't want to leave.

So peaceful and beautiful. Cozy inside, spacious yard outside. The dog loved exploring in the yard.

Great spot amongst the redwoods. Loved the fireplace, lots of outdoor seating, and close to great hikes.

We had a fantastic stay at Whiskey Hollow! The A-frame is such a neat place, and we loved the loft and the big windows that brighten the whole place. Everything was perfectly clean, from the linens to the surfaces. Jamie and Paige were super friendly and helpful in their communication. We would love to come back!

This is the first cabin/cottage I have ever stayed in, let alone the first time I've ever been in 1 in California at that (I moved from Missouri). This place was pretty dope, Masood was very accommodating & upgraded us to a place on the river. It was peaceful having the sound of the river/creek all night in the background, along w/the fireplace roaring with wood. FYI: buy wood before you come here. I would definitely come back & next time, stay for longer. This is right inside a small town too, so there's basically a main street w/all the businesses etc.
