Midtown Cabana with Scenic Patio Private Entrance

Summary:

Escape to the Midtown Cabana, a private Santa Cruz getaway perfect for 2 guests. This bright, airy studio features a King bed, mini-fridge, Keurig, microwave, and a private patio with stunning valley views. Ideal for a couple's retreat, business traveler, or solo trip, you're just a mile from downtown and the Boardwalk. Enjoy complete privacy with your own entrance in a location that blends nature with city life.



The Space:

Step into your private cabana, a bright and airy space designed for comfort and relaxation as your home-base in Santa Cruz. The room is defined by its high, white vaulted ceiling, creating an open and inviting atmosphere.

Key Features:

* **Sleeping Area:** A comfortable King-size bed ensures a restful night's sleep.

* **Living Space:** Relax in two cozy sitting chairs with lovely views of the trees and trails of the Pogonip hills right from your window.

* **Amenities:** For your convenience, the Cabana is equipped with a mini-fridge, microwave, and a Keurig coffee maker.

* **Bathroom:** The modern, sparkling clean bathroom features a walk-in shower.

* **Private Patio:** Step outside to your own private stone patio, furnished with a bistro table and chairs. It's the ideal spot to enjoy a cup of coffee, soak in the expansive valley views, and watch the sunset.

* **EV Charging:** Available by special request.



Guest Access:

Guests will have exclusive and private access to the entire cabana. This includes the main studio room, the en-suite bathroom, and the private outdoor stone patio. You will have your own private entrance, allowing you to come and go with ease and complete privacy throughout your stay. We live on the property in the main house, but it is unlikely you will ever see or hear us.



The Neighborhood:

Desirable mid-town banana belt offers abundant sunshine normally outside the fog line, with easy walking access to markets, restaurants and shops. The neighborhood is quiet and well established, with charming homes throughout. Please respect the quiet neighborhood and keep excessive noise and other disruptions to a minimum.



Getting Around:

Multiple bus lines pass 3 blocks away. Biking is convenient to get downtown or to the beach and Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. Uber and Lyft is also very convenient and are widely used around here . It's about a $7-$8 Uber ride to downtown or the Santa Cruz Boardwalk.



If you’d like to know how close a particular venue or location is to the cabana, shoot us a message and we’d be happy to give you a time and distance estimate.



Other Things to Note:

**Eco-Friendly Cleaning:** We are committed to providing a healthy and comfortable environment. For your peace of mind, we use only eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning products in the cabana.

**Views:** Enjoy beautiful views of the Pogonip hills and expansive valley sunsets directly from the property.

**Sustainability:** We are also fully powered by renewable energy from the sun!



Interaction with Guests:

We respect our guests' privacy but are happy to be available for any help or recommendations you might need. Our goal is to help make your stay in Santa Cruz memorable, so please don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything.
The vacation home is heated and features a balcony and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a microwave, a refrigerator, and a coffee maker.

This spot is in a nice neighborhood, on a quiet street, the room is clean and comfortable, and has a nice view. I had a great experience! The hosts were kind, attentive, and easy to communicate with. Loved it! Also, if you're looking for a casual night out, Upper Crust Pizza is down to earth with good food, and Penny's ice-cream with the burnt marshmallow topping is amazing!

easy in & out- the only thing to be aware of is that there's a lot of noise from the highway, so if you're a light sleeper you'll need to have the windows closed. other than that, it was great! especially the enormous and very comfortable bed.

Host was welcoming and took care of a problem immediately. I’d like to suggest more hooks be installed in the bathroom and to provide non-flavored creamer for coffee as well. A nice touch, also, is the host’s own booklet of suggestions for dining, etc.

The midtown cabana is great if you are looking for a more quiet place to stay in Santa Cruz. Although it is a little small, it has a very nice outdoor space that is private and a big, comfortable bed. The host was great and the location is close to several stores and restaurants. Highly recommend!
