Cozy retreat near woods and sea

Whether you seek a cozy retreat out in the woods or wish to enjoy a beach getaway with the family, we got you covered!

Ideally located in the enchanting forest of Nisene Marks, our newly refurbished home is the perfect getaway for some well deserved R&R. Nestled in the heart of a majestic redwood forest, our home offers the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. With towering trees as your neighbors and the ocean just a short drive away, you'll have the best of both worlds!

The space

This rental is a fully independent guest suite with its own fully equipped kitchen, two bathrooms, three bedrooms, sundeck & terrace, and a very large living & dining room for family get-togethers. The space is right around 1500sq feet.

There are no shared spaces and no other rentals on the property. The host occupies a separate unit on the property and is glad to help with any issues that may arise during your stay.

Great place, great host
This place was spacious and clean, and in a beautiful location, easy to get to. The host was wonderful. I had some trouble with the gate, but I think it was partially "User error", and Gabriel responded immediately. I was there with my adult children to celebrate my mother's 90th birthday. It was a great place for us to land together and then go celebrate at my mom's house. There was room for everybody. Great kitchen, beautiful bathrooms. My kids all said they would love to do this again when we come visit my mom. A little expensive, but worth every penny.

Beautiful Area & home
Owner Gabriel was wonderful, he responded to our requests quickly & helped with our issues. Home is a back house with owner living in front house. Home was large enough for our family of five. The is in a beautiful setting of trees & greenery. Lots of sky lights which let in a lot of sun light (even at 6am). The last guest had left some dirty pans in oven. It was nice but could of been cleaner. Owner is taking care of these issues. Home had 3 Queen beds & 1 trundle bed. No bunkbeds or sofa bed. We were able to sleep 5 comfortably. The bedding was great and the bed comfortable. We had plenty of kitchen equipment to make meals. Our location made good accessibility to Monterey Bay Aquarium, Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and the cement ship wreck at Seacliff State Beach. Our stay was for 4 nights. This location was over 3 hours from our home.

This one is Great!
Four of us spent a long weekend and totally enjoyed ourselves. Gabriel is a fabulous host. The house was more than comfortable and the location can't be beat. We'll probably come back when it warms up in order to enjoy the outside patio.

Spring break 2024
We really enjoyed our stay at the property. It was well cared for and perfect for a family. The property is attached to the owners home but it is completely separate in terms of living space. We felt like we had plenty of privacy and autonomy to come and go as we wanted. The kitchen is stocked for cooking easy meals. One thing to note is that there is a dog on the property but was very well behaved and did not bother us. Lastly the property is well positioned to access shops, groceries, the beach, and the state park right down the road. I’d stay here again.
