Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Aptos Hills-Larkin Valley

Exactly as it looks - very cute old building. Very walkable to downtown. Everything was clean and host was very responsive. We had a great stay

The Home was great, all amenities were perfect, had everything we needed, felt just like home & would happily book again!

My family and I had a great stay at Yvonne's cottage. The location was ideal—just a short walk to the ocean, nearby restaurants, and the Santa Cruz boardwalk, yet the cottage itself was nestled on a peaceful, quiet street. The cottage was beautifully designed both inside and out. We truly had a wonderful time and highly recommend it!

Very nice experience, Cori was very friendly and helpful. Would recommend!

This comfortable house worked great for two couples and our friends who dropped by for dinner. The location is wonderful - super quiet and an easy walk to the ocean, optionally through a beautiful park. Short drive to good markets and restaurants. We enjoyed the spacious hot tub and appreciated being able to bring our dog. It is more comfy and cozy than super glam, but that was perfect for us. Ian was a great communicator and shared some wonderful recommendations - don't miss La Hacienda Taqueria!

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’s house is beautiful and exactly like the pictures! Super communicative with our every need. Tons of space and amenities! Loved the outdoor patio and the peek a boo ocean views! Sarah is an amazing host. Would absolutely stay here again! Love the fact that we were able to bring our dog! Thank you again for the amazing stay and making my family feel so welcomed!

Had a wonderful stay! Janet’s home was very peaceful and relaxing. Literally had anything we could need during our stay. She also let us check out at 1 so we could go on one last adventure without being in a rush! I would definitely recommend her place, & stay there again sometime!!

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.

It was a lovely stay! Everything went smoothly and all amenities were ready for use and also easy to use. The property is beautiful and close to lots of things to do while being surrounded by nature. The hosts were responsive and helpful, easy to work with. I was not expecting how close the neighbors would be, but that really didn't impact how nice of a time we had at all. A sweet pup came by a few times and that was really fun. Overall a fantastic time!

Linda and Bob are wonderful hosts. We love their beautiful studio. The location is an amazing and we felt very safe and secure. Their property is a beautiful vineyard and the pool is right outside the studio. Lots of walkable paths, and our dogs Loved it. We will be back!

We LOVED our experience here. Marc was super helpful and easy to work with. The home is super clean and nice and we will definitely be back!

Had a good relaxing time, and the hosts were extremely responsive and proactive with their communication. The bedroom itself is a very tight space, which you can somewhat see from the pictures, but the hosts have made every attempt to give everything you need within that space for a quick getaway - coffee machine, snacks & water, lot of spare towels, robes, extra blankets outdoors, outdoor bluetooth speakers, etc.. The hot tub was great and easy to use. The pool area is great with lots of seating, and the outdoor firepit was easy to use and highly appreciated. We didn't use the outdoor kitchen (Essentially a BBQ grill) or utensils etc. but I could see everything was well stocked for someone who'd like to use it. Having a camera pointed at the pool / hot tub area felt a bit awkward, and I hope they consider removing that, since I don't want to be recorded beyond entry / exit. But overall the experience was still very comfortable, and there weren't elaborate crazy check-out instructions

The Fitz had everything we could have hoped for our joint bachelor/bachelorette party. Liz was very accommodating and responsive to our questions and needs. Plenty of rooms, beds, and bathrooms for our large party of 14. The surrounding area was very beautiful, and the many amenities at the location was perfect for a weekend or longer getaway. Would highly recommend!

Maria and David are phenomenal hosts! The accommodations were absolutely perfect for my pup and I! You can truly tell that so much thought and care was put into the cabana and it is so lovely and cozy. I highly recommend!!

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

loved this air bnb! the hosts were so kind and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay! I absolutely recommend this cottage if you’re looking for a walkable and beautiful place to stay for your trip to santa cruz

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!!!!

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!!

Robin's place is everything I hoped for and more-- a rare combination of a peaceful, private neighborhood within walking distance of a useful plaza (grocery, CVS, and coffee shop), a famous local deli/bakery, and a seaside tourist town. You can easily access whatever you want or need and then escape to your home-away-from home. And any canine guests are lucky dogs! I travelled often with my dog and we stayed in many an airbnb. Robin's would've been on her top 3 list. A nice little backyard, very dog-friendly neighborhood, and a 10-min drive to the coastal cliff-top pedestrian/bike path along East Cliff Drive. If this is available on your dates, don't wait too long to book it!

Wonderful home in a fantastic location! Super friendly hosts - we can’t wait to visit again!

We had a great stay! It was really amazing to be able to stay in the forest and the place is spacious with beautiful big windows and views. Thanks again!

Great location, cute house, great backyard, very clean, extremely thoughtful in what's offered in the house, like lots of towels, lots of games and books, and so accommodating for your dogs. We've rented a lot of houses with our pets. first place we've stayed that not only had extra leashes, dogs bowels, clean doggie beds/blankets and the number of an emergency veterinarian. plus the property manager came by on a Friday evening to help us sort out the TV situation. we will be back!

Thank you for another excellent stay. I truly enjoy your Airbnb, which is very cozy, in a quiet neighborhood, and above all, the privacy! Best regards.
