Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Aptos Hills-Larkin Valley

Diana is great host. I’d be happy to stay at her place again. Location is easily walkable to all Downtown restaurants, etc. & and very Short drive to the Beach (about 1 mile)

Really nice place to stay , good location !

This was our second stay at Yvonne's Seabright home and we can't wait to return! It's such a cute and comfortable beach cottage! Seabright is the best neighborhood for a Santa Cruz visit - just a few blocks to the beach, walking distance to restaurants, coffee, fun bars, and a short drive to downtown SC. The house is cozy and has everything you need for a relaxing visit. The bed was super comfortable, the kitchen is well equipped, and that massive tub is luxurious! Yvonne is a great host - super communicative and helpful. We had a wonderful time and will definitely rent again!

We had a fantastic reunion of 2 families. Gabriel's place was perfect as the kids could bunk down together, there were ample hangout spots and the big hot tub! We enjoyed long walks to both downtown Santa Cruz and Capitola and being so close to the ocean. The kitchen was well stocked and despite the oven not working, they provided an electric one that we were able to make work for meals for 8!

Ian was communicative and super accommodating during a hard time for my family. Very much appreciated.

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.

Sarah was super friendly and well organized! Her house has a perfect location for relaxing and enjoying the ocean. She is available to message at any time and was an amazing host!

William was responsive host, the home was cozy coupled with many amenities. The back yard was a nice space, good experience overall.

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!

Fabulous location Quiet and pretty back garden and pool - so relaxing. Comfy beds. A lovely stay!

EJ and Nancy have such a lovely property. We easily felt we had our own space. You can tell that they've been doing this for years, and have a great way of making everything comfortable for guests. Our two kids had space to spread out, the playground is not directly next to the front door of the apartment, but you can see it through the yard's trees & hear them more or less within ear shot. Kitchen was amply supplied and set up, & there are plenty of storage spaces and creature comforts to make the stay feel like home. Beds were comfortable & clean, super comfortable pillows. The unit itself doesn't get a ton of natural light, but to be expected in redwoods. The hosts were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful, we had a nice time chatting with them. Wonderful hosts, they felt like family. Their little dog is so so sweet and friendly as well, my kids loved the dog. Great location, easy to get to surrounding areas and Santa Cruz proper. Would return!

What a gem! We had a wonderful time at Steve’s house. The house is beautiful, functional and well decorated. The kitchen had everything we needed plus more. The property itself was incredible - private and peaceful with many activities for kids (and adults). The house is also ideally located close to downtown Los Gatos. Quick and kind responses from our host. We will definitely try and stay here again.

Perfect stop for our bike race at Fort Ord. Thank you!

The home was clean, spacious, and beautiful, especially the outdoor living. Would love to come back in the summer to take advantage of the pool and outside amenities. Host was helpful and quick to respond anytime we reached out. Will definitely be back!

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.

We really enjoyed this cottage and loved how close it was to restaurants and shopping. The whole place was clean and quiet. We would definitely stay here again!

Ms. Susan property is large and beautiful, our family of 7 enjoyed her estate so much and will plans to stay longer in the future.

We had a great experience staying at Vic's, everything was very nice and clean, instructions for every single detail were clear and the host was super responsive! We are so grateful for their attention and will be definitely coming back!!

What an absolutely lovely stay! This is simply put a perfect location. Across the street from the beach but not right *on* East Cliff Drive, so you have a little buffer from that road, and it's on the end of a one-way street, so there's little to zero actual traffic in front of the house. The place is large and funky old fashioned fun. Love the old timey vibe (lots of historical family photos everywhere and antique furniture, and the house is very old — probably historic), but if you're used to modern luxury and amenities, this place probably won't be for you. That said, we really enjoyed it! The beds are comfy and clean — we slept great. Plenty of room to spread out, and GREAT outdoor space. The carport off the street is very handy. The only suggestion I have for the homeowner is that more lighting is needed in the kitchen — at night it's hard to see and prep a meal in there. Power West went above and beyond with proactive and responsive communication. We will be back!!

Ali and Morgan were great hosts. Directions were clear and easy to understand. Having a garage to park was great, and the Airbnb was easy to access. The kitchen was not as clean as it could have been when I arrived, but Ali was quick to fix the issue and offered professional cleaning services during my stay to mend the issue. Overall I would stay again!

Appreciated the open layout, cleanliness, and style of the house. Can’t wait to come back!!

We had a great stay. The house is beautiful, peaceful and we felt right at home. Gabriel responded to our message quickly and even help us when we didn’t have coffee. He’s a great host with a beautiful house. 100% recommended.

We had a fantastic stay in Monterey! The house was spotless, well-equipped, and in a perfect location to explore the area. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and the game selection was a great bonus for some fun family time. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!
