Sarah's place was super peaceful, clean, and easy to find. Everything was laid out to make things easy and relaxing - including dog bowls for my dog which was so thoughtful! I loved hearing the creek babbling away from the window as I fell asleep. It felt very private despite being close to everything you'd want in Soquel. Truly magical! Like stepping into Rivendell ;) We'd definitely come back!

What a lovely romantic place nestled in the woods. Extremely cozy and private with a lovely outdoor patio and hot tub. Recommended for anyone looking to get away from it all.

I loved this place so much. The nature was so beautiful, and it was so nice to be able to look out of the large bedroom windows. The hot tub was also great to come back to after a long day of hiking.

Matthew’s place in Aptos is gorgeous, spotless, and incredibly comfortable. The layout is great, and the outside hot tub made it feel like a true luxury retreat. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks, Matthew!

Look no further because you have found the best place to stay! This was the perfect place to call home during our recent Spring Break vacation to the Monterey Bay Area. It provided a great midway point since we were flying into San Jose, but planning to visit Santa Cruz, Monterey, and Carmel By The Sea. It is worth the climb up into the trees to this peaceful 2 story accommodation. Well stocked, roomy, good WiFi, beautiful deck. We did not use the hot tub, but that is a nice bonus. I loved listening to all the birds chirping every morning while I enjoyed my coffee. Love this place and would definitely stay here again!

Stayed out here for a week, the stay was beautiful and quiet, it’s like being in a cabin in the mountains. The patio was serene. This Airbnb is a perfect middle spot in the Bay Area, 1.5 hours away from San Fran, then less than an hour away from Santa Cruz and the Monterey Bay Aquarium. We had some bumps at the beginning with a noisey guests in the other suite being loud past quiet hours, and somehow being routed to the wrong address (not the host’s fault). However, the hosts were quick and responsive to get the guests to be quiet and were able to quickly route me to the correct address. Great location, host, and place. I’d definitely look to book this one or the connected suite next time I come up to the Bay Area, even with those stairs.

This place was absolutely amazing! I would say the pictures do not encapsulate all the beauty compared to in person. The cabin is small but has all the perfect amenities you could need for two people. Kitchen was well stocked with a mini pancake maker, toaster, and an electric burning for cooking (& many more). The bed was so cozy, there was a space heater and humidifier that kept the place warm. The hot tub was a plus and the grill if you want to cook outside. My favorite part, the private access to the creek. If you are feeling brave, I would recommend a cold plunge! Perfect play for a staycation. It was hard to leave. Thank you!!

Secluded, charming, peaceful. Great little place to take it easy for a few days. Capitola is nearby and a great place to visit. Host is very kind and considerate, lots of little details to make it a great stay. We had everything we needed and would happily go back.

My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful A-frame. We were slightly worried about the steps from parking to the entrance when we were planning especially for our 4 year old, but much to our surprise she very much enjoyed going up and down multiple times! A very peaceful and relaxing stay.
