This house and location is absolutely stunning! We have rented many homes globally and this was our favorite. Perfect for a large group/couple of families to relax, all dine together, all hang by the pool, etc... We had such a blast each night in the theatre room singing karaoke (machine not included). Check in was easy and Matt explained all the workings very well. Hosts were very responsive and accommodating. House décor and amenities were excellent. Its very secluded up in hills but easy to get to the freeway. Highly recommend :-)

Perfect Oasis on a Hill

Beautiful place for a quiet group that loves to cook, eat, and lounge around. The kitchen was really well appointed for cooking for a group. The pool and poolside was very relaxing with a gorgeous view. The theater was an added treat and the beds were super comfy. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

We held our small business group offsite retreat here. The house provided a unique and beautiful setting for memorable team bonding and motivation. The views from the jacuzzi, infinity pool and yard were awe-inspiring. The house was impeccably clean and well-maintained. With ensuite bathrooms it provided the perfect setting for privacy and togetherness. Matt was incredible and made everything so easy! A great experience and we look forward to returning next year!

Amazing property and host

Our family had a perfect stay. The home has everything you could need and more. The hilltop property and infinity pool/spa provide amazing views. The pool table, home theater, and chef’s kitchen make for a great time for all. Comfortable beds and all rooms with en suite baths spoil every guest in your group. The owner/property manager are super attentive and no need goes unmet. The location is convenient to travelers who want to see not only Santa Cruz, but anywhere from San Fran to San Jose to Monterey to Carmel. It’s a great home base for exploring all the area has to offer. Highly, highly recommend!

This place is seriously amazing!

We came here to celebrate a birthday with friends, and had the best time! Our group has stayed in a lot of different rentals over the years, and everyone agreed this was the nicest place we had ever stayed. It was the perfect spot for us because there were so many great communal hangout spots (pool, hot tub, movie theater room, pool table, large dining table, bar, open concept kitchen), but then also everyone had their own bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, so it was the perfect blend of time together and personal space. The house and property are immaculate, the views are incredible, and we were able to use the pool w/ heating when we visited in April. We had everything we needed during our stay, which was great because as soon as we got there, we didn't want to leave. Jay (the property manager) and Matt (the owner) were both super helpful and responsive, and the recommendations we received for the area were also great. Overall, we had a magical time and would love to return again!
