Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Santa Cruz

Tammy’s place is a wonderful home to stay at while visiting the area. It is comfortable and clean with plenty of room for several people. The house is in a quiet neighborhood and close to everything. The backyard is very inviting and the hot tub is a nice perk. Tammy provided clear instructions and was responsive. Highly recommend!

Susan was awesome with responding to any question we had! The place was perfect for our family to gather and stay together for my son’s wedding, which was just a few miles away. We highly recommend the home for a group!!! Thank you, Susan!!!!

Such a nice, secluded hideaway! The view was as amazing as it was peaceful. My family had a great time.

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.

First off the photos don’t do this house justice. The spaces, including that wonderful balcony, are bigger than you think. We had 7 adults, a toddler & an infant and we didn’t feel cramped at all. The beds, linens and pillows were so comfy, the multitude of windows to let the ocean air breeze come through, along with fans in the bedrooms, were perfect. The kitchen was the most well equipped I’ve used in an Airbnb before. The wagon, chairs and beach towels were also so nice to have for the short one block walk to Black Beach (one of my favorites in Santa Cruz). Oh and do not let the 1 full bathroom for everyone scare you off. Having the 2 half baths made it all work and we never had an issue. My family LOVED this place and wants to come back so very much. We have spent 26 years coming to Santa Cruz almost annually and this was our best residential experience yet. Thank you to Kim and her Rental Mgr, Nancy, for taking care of us and communicating so well. This family highly recommends!

This location is amazing. Right next to beautiful Seacliff beach. I had a great time, and would definitely consider coming back.

Perfect house in every way!!!! The house is adorable, comfortable, accessible to every part of Santa Cruz and included every single item needed or wanted!! We will be back and are hoping that Colleen's house is available! one word on our host.... we stay in a number of Airbnb's and Colleen was PERFECT and I mean a PERFECT host.... Perfect stay!

Brian’s place is so easy to spot and navigate to. Loved the clean, minimalist aesthetic. Felt right at home! Would be glad to come back.

Very responsive hosts with great recommendations, and they also left a very nice welcome gift for us. I can't recommend this area more if you want to visit San Francisco, Santa Cruz, or even the coast right across the street. Very private, great balcony, great hosts!

Great stay. The space was larger and nicer than expected. Very good location with proximity to beach and restaurants. Would stay here again.

This is a clean and beautiful place to stay! Very baby friendly! We didn’t realize that there is another unit above the Airbnb - you can hear footsteps occasionally.

Had a great experience since no pets are allowed. We have allergies so this worked out for us wonderfully. The location was central, which made it easy to get around Santa Cruz and surrounding areas. Despite being central, the neighborhood and home was nice and quiet. The kitchen was well equipped, even though we only used it for breakfast since we were out most of the time. Place was super clean.

Absolutely stunning location and super friendly owner. Everything had clear instructions and she even let us park in the driveway while unloading our baby gear and waiting for a parking spot. Less than a half mile to the aquarium and lovers point. Just an all around wonderful stay!

We had a great stay here! The place is cozy, clean, and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked, which made meals easy during our visit. It’s also conveniently located near kid-friendly attractions like Happy Hollow Park & Zoo, The Tech Interactive, and the Children’s Discovery Museum—great for our family trip.

Barnaby‘s place was the perfect getaway for us to celebrate our anniversary. Proximity and walk ability to everything in addition to a very clean comfortable and well appointed spot. Great communication with Barnaby with quick responses. This would be a great rental in conjunction with the office next door for a big group.

I highly recommend Ab's place. It is the third year in a row that five older ladies have celebrated our 20-year friendship, and they will always be back once a year, I booked again for 3 nights in March 2026! it is easy, has a beautiful setting, and fantastic restaurants nearby! ENJOY!!

everything was super nice, only thing was the charger didnt work which was very bummed out, but overall house is super spacious and nice, plenty of room for family and friends! mason was helpful & communicative!

A minor issue with our original reservation was quickly resolved by the PowerWest Team. They responded immediately and went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of and had a perfect trip. The unit is a beautiful, well equipped condo with spectacular ocean front views. We will definitely visit again and stay with PowerWest.

Beautiful views! Our family enjoyed our stay and the main floor layout was perfect for our extended family's get together. The pool table, foosball table and games were loved by adults and kids alike. A few family members did get car sick on the way to the house though (not the fault of the house or host by any means), so just be aware that it is a windy road to get up there.

Beautiful home with a great view! Very clean and homey. Matthew is also a great host with clear communication and very helpful instructions pre-check-in. We felt right at home when we arrived. The horses are also very friendly and my son loves petting them. All in all would definitely recommend!

Great stay! The place was clean, cozy, and just as pictured. The host was friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend!

Great cozy space and close to a lot of amenities and restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Hosts were very prompt with communication and accommodating to our requests

This Hacienda was located on top of the Santa Cruz Mountains and was so majestic, peaceful and breathtaking. The house is welcoming and beautifully decorated. The view was incredible, watching the clouds and marine layer blanket over the trees. Each bedroom had comfy beds. Kitchen stock well with everything you need. Bathrooms clean. Heated floors were a nice touch. Sitting outside on various patio levels was magical. Felt like I was at retreat. Lisa was quick to respond. Our family loved staying here and getting away from city noise and hustle bustle. Thank you Lisa and Chris for sharing your home. This place is a real gem.

Jose and Gabriella’s beautiful home exceeded my already heightened expectations after reading the reviews. The pictures do not capture the thought and care they've poured into their property. The kitchen is the heart of this mountain home. It was clearly designed for function and entertaining, and the panoramic view of coastal redwoods was the perfect backdrop for both. It came comprehensively stocked with every imaginable appliance and gadget, including a refrigerator twice the standard size, two full-sized ovens, and a massive island that can comfortably seat ten people. Jose and Gabriella were the perfect hosts, attentive, genuine and pleasant to interact. Easily one of the best Airbnb experiences I've had. I wish I didn’t have to leave, but I look forward to returning soon.
