Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Santa Cruz

This was a very last minute type of reservation, for a single night. Zero regrets! Can’t beat the location - steps from the amazing views and trail walk which allowed us to ride the bikes and get to aquarium without any parking stress. The house itself is lovely with well-thought out space usage and plenty of amenities. Having the downtown 2mins from the house was also an advantage for us. We were sad to have to leave this beautiful piece of paradise.; hosts allowed for a 30min later checkout, which we appreciated quite a bit traveling with a toddler. Looking forward to coming back already!

Julia’s place is really nice and just like the photos. It’s also a great deal. The backyard is especially nice if you have children or dogs. We brought two little dogs with us that loved running around. Check in was super easy and Julia was accessible and communicative. I recommended some minor improvements for the shower cleaning and around frequency of communication. Despite those, we had a really nice stay and would stay again and recommend to others. We’ve actually recommended to family that love near by.

A beautiful house, we had a lovely stay in the most beautiful setting, what an incredible area. Trish was easy to communicate which made everything really easy, even though it was short notice. Trish was really helpful with dropping off bags early. Thank you so much!

The place was great with a group of friends, even had leftover rooms.

From booking to check-in/out Mafileo was always responsive, friendly, and accommodating. Our house is undergoing renovations so we were looking for a 'second home' during this time and that's exactly what we received!!! The kitchen is beautiful with a nice big fridge, and the living room so comfy for us and our three pups and cat; even they all felt at home. The backyard is nice and large for the dogs to get their exercise as well. Oh! Super comfy beds as well. We all slept great. We can't wait to return here to our 'home away from home' in January while we wait for our house to be finished. Thank you so much, Mafileo!

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.

Very spacious. Had great time with family

Absolutely beautiful & extremely clean. Close to the ocean. Loved the fenced backyard, it was great for our two little dachshunds. Will definitely recommend this place.

Everything was great! The unit had everything you could possibly need for a trip (stocked bathroom, stocked kitchen, tons of extra towels and blankets). The neighborhood was also very quiet, which was great because we're light sleepers. I would definitely recommend this spot and would stay again.

We had a great stay at Lolly's place. The kids loved playing and exploring the private meadow and surrounding outdoors while we BBQ'd on the spacious dock. I went on a hike on the nearby trail with amazing views of the mountains. The house, kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms were all very clean and equipped with everything we needed and more. I would highly recommend Lolly's place!

Excellent apartment. Clean and well appointed. Easy entrance and exit.

This house was perfect for our group. It’s a big and unique space, very practical with plenty of living/lounge space, indoor and outdoor dining, great swimming pool, etc. It’s on the older side, but very functional - and has things like air conditioning that aren’t at all givens in the area. WiFi works great, including for work from home. It’s equipped with the basics (and some unexpected odds and ends!), but if you want particular kitchen or bathroom supplies you may want to bring your own. It’s also very easy to pick up anything you need nearby. Would recommend!

Second stay at the listing and was great as the first. Nice location. Would stay again!

This is located in a quiet and nice neighborhood! You can sleep with the windows open without issues. Alexander is a very nice host and is always available when needed and has great suggestions and otherwise will fully respect your privacy in a very proactive manner. You can use the pool upon request which we have done a number of times. The unit is a standalone dwelling and therefore fully private. You can park in the driveway and have your own entryway. I enjoyed it very much and only didn’t stay longer as he was already booked for another 4 months!

This was a GREAT Airbnb. The location was fab- very close to a local coffee shop (2min up the road) and close to Whole Foods. If you’re coming in for work at Adobe, Zoom, or Deloitte, this is a perfect location- less than 10 min to the office in a home where you can cook, chill, great backyard and fruit trees out front.

Serene is the perfect word to describe this property. It was refreshing and quiet. We would love to come back

Vic’s place was perfect for a long weekend trip to San Jose. Not only was the space clean and well laid out, it was also aesthetic and had everything you might need for an even longer stay. Would recommend for families traveling with little ones, as they provided a pack n play and high chair. Their place was very clean and organized which helped with our little 10 month old crawling baby. Plenty of closet space too for our extra luggage since we were there for 4 nights with a baby. They thought of everything! Will be staying there again.

We had an amazing stay! The cute little bungalow was very well maintained and designed very well. The outdoor space was great for our dogs and the home had all of the amenities that we needed.

Location was very quiet and peaceful. The room is clean and well organized. The hospitality of host was great. If I have a next chance, I want to stay again.

Everything about my stay was easy, booking, check-in checkout. The home was very clean and quiet. The neighborhood was quiet and I felt very comfortable walking my dog. I would recommend Tina’s comfy cottage to anyone staying in the area.

Jane was very nice and responsive when I needed to change my travel dates due to a unique circumstance. Overall, we enjoyed our stay immensely and look forward to returning.

This was our second time staying here. We love the location and ease of access for our senior dogs. Mel is always helpful and prompt with communication. We're looking forward to our next visit!

What a great home away from home get away by the beach. Janet was a great host. We had some change of plans and asked to check in a little early and she was more than accomodating even left a welcome basket for us to enjoy. The home was clean, cozy and everything we were looking for. Close to everything and great for walking to the beach with our dogs. The hot tub was lovely to relax in every night. Would recommend staying here.

Jeremy’s place was great for a weekend getaway with a few friends! The location was great, plenty of parking and space to spread out inside the house and in the backyard. The koi pond was lovely and relaxing, I felt like I was at a spa! Jeremy was very responsive and answered our questions ahead of time. The kitchen had everything you need to cook, with oil and spices available. We walked to Verve coffee multiple times and it was easy to get to Capitola and Santa Cruz. It was a comfortable spot and a lovely stay!
