Relaxing Getaway

This is a beautiful location that is a perfect setup as a home away from home. The location is amazing and very close to so many beautiful walks and time to unwind and relax near the water. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and having a full kitchen at our use. Great place for a small family to visit and we would definitely return to this location!

Awesome Spot on the Westside!

Well appointed apartment in an awesome neighborhood! Robin was a gracious host and the guest apartment/house was just as described. We wanted for nothing and enjoyed the quiet neighborhood on the westside (our favorite!). We enjoyed all that Santa Cruz has to offer during our stay here and wish we could have stayed longer!

I Couldn't Stay Away

My first visit to West Cliff Hideaway just a month ago and I ended my review by saying "I couldn't wait to get back." Well I made it sooner than I thought I would. The moment it became clear that a trip back to Santa Cruz to see my son and his family was feasible, I checked the calendar for West Cliff and it was available. Wonderful!! My second visit was as enjoyable as my first. My husband joined me for part of the time and also loved the comfortable, attractive layout, the furnishings and the location. He also really appreciated the ease and strength of the wi-fi. I had time to do more cooking and really appreciated the kitchen and it's equipment. As others have mentioned Robin and Bill are welcoming, helpful if needed and great Santa Cruz resources; in short they are very special hosts of a very special place.

Wonderful Santa Cruz Getaway

We spent a month at West Cliff Hideaway. The location is fantastic - 2 blocks from the ocean in a lovely neighborhood. We were able to walk to the Pier and Boardwalk from our front door every day. Seeing the waves and surfers never grew old. The host, Robin lives in the main house and was always available for anything we needed. We rarely saw her so we always felt like we had privacy. The apartment is above a large garage behind the house and is accessed by a private entrance and a flight of stairs. Very comfortable and a fully stocked kitchen made for a perfect stay. Thank you Robin for sharing your home in such a beautiful location!

Beyond 5-star Stay & Host

We loved our stay at Robin’s cottage and she was an outstanding and wonderful host. Her place is lovely, quiet, clean, had everything we needed and is perfectly located for daily walks along the ocean and to amazing restaurants and cafes. We didn’t want to leave! And Robin is an exceptional host. (Like she should teach a course on it.) She is warm, welcoming, accommodating and literally made us feel like her special guests (not just vrbo people staying on her property). She checked in to be sure we had what we needed, sent us weather updates, and gave us a heads up on a stunning full moon over the ocean and recommendations for where to view it with great food and drink. We loved our stay and can’t wait to return. Thank you Robin! 🌴

Comfy & perfect for visiting UCSC

This experience reminded me of how good a well-run vacation rental can be. It was so nice dealing with an actual person who takes excellent care of their place with lots of thoughtful touches to make my stay super comfortable and relaxing. The place is luxurious for a single/couple, and the futon in the living room was very solid and comfortable. Robin's place is like staying in a real house, with a patio and grill, located in one of the nicer areas in Santa Cruz. Walking distance (15-20 minutes) from lots of stuff and a quick drive from UCSC. Plenty of peace and quiet even with the windows open constantly.

Perfect hideaway

This was likely our last visit to Santa Cruz, at least for now, to attend the UCSC graduation. The location was super, with a nearby shortcut to the beautiful West Cliff views, but close enough to campus to help our son pack up 4 years of stuff! Our host was amazing and even offered to fill the fridge when she learned our flight in was delayed.The home was clean and had everything we could need, including a lovely private courtyard that was the envy of my work Zoom meeting. If/when we return, this will be our spot!

Fantastic Host, Property and Location

Our business reserved this property for 3 months for a visiting scientist and they raved about Robin and her property. She was communicative, attentive, and a terrific host that went above and beyond. We will definitely reserve this spot again for long-term stays or business visits. Thanks Robin!

Great Location and Host

This property was very comfortable and exactly as advertised. Robin was very helpful and accommodating. The location is superb. You can hear the crashing of the waves and the barking of the seals from the ocean a few blocked away. We walked and biked everywhere and found the Westside wineries and coffee shops great.

We Will Be Back..

The property was exactly what we wanted/needed/expected. Since our plan was to be out and about during the length of our stay, coming back to a place that was clean, bright with sunshine with a wonderful breeze was amazing! I would suggest this location for all couples looking for a perfect space to call home while visiting Santa Cruz. We loved walking the neighborhood in the morning—both the beach and local coffee shop are a short walk away (coffee-7minutes; beach-under 5 minutes) The property manager, Robin, was everything we could hope for: responsive before our stay, easy to contact with any questions, made the check in process clear & easy, and was never seen but we felt comfortable knowing she was only a phone call away. We really did feel as if we had our own hideaway in Santa Cruz.
