About this property

Midtown Private Cabana-Private Entry

Summary:
The Midtown Cabana is a perfect getaway for couples, solo adventurers, and for business travelers. Enjoy lovely views of trees and trails of the Pogonip hills from your room or the private patio. We're located 1 mile from downtown and the Santa Cruz beach boardwalk. The cabana is located near the lively Seabright neighborhood, which is full of great restaurants and boutique shops. Also nearby is the Yacht Harbor and Seabright beach with beach side dining and a variety of water activities.

The Space:
This private entry room is equipped with a King size bed, side tables, a larger accent table that can also be used as a laptop work space, and 2 sitting chairs to relax in and enjoy the view. Grab a cup of coffee or a glass of wine and enjoy the private outdoor patio with bistro table and chairs.

There is a mini fridge, microwave, and Keurig for your convenience.

Guest Access:
Guests have access to their own private entrance.

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:
*We use eco friendly, non-toxic cleaning products in the cabana.

It’s a great place to stay!

It was super easy to get in to this place, located close to everything we needed, PLUS we had a mix up with our travel plans and needed to check-in early and the host was super accommodating! Also some adorable dogs will greet you through their fence, which is always a great way to kick off your stay!

Very nice, clean and easy. The deck was nice because I play the guitar and my wife does not want to hear me practice. The deck is a nice second private space with a view.

Cozy Santa Cruz Stay

A lovely surprise in the middle of the neighborhood. Check in was easy and the view was gorgeous! The bed was the most comfortable bed we’ve slept in! Close to downtown Santa Cruz and the beach, this is a wonderful stay for travelers!

nice, private feeling stay in Santa Cruz

I really loved the private feel of the room and patio. The space felt bright and pretty clean. I think it could use new carpeting as there were several stains. The shower is pretty bad (way too much pressure for a small shower) but the owner said that he is going to fix that soon. Loved the patio!

Perfect space for a Santa Cruz visit

This was a very cozy room with a lovely view and amazing outdoor patio (that we didn’t get to enjoy as our stay was too short ;( I hope to stay again next time I’m in SC! It’s exactly as pictured and the bed was incredibly comfortable. You won’t be disappointed : ) Also, it’s a nice quiet location not too far from UCSC, downtown and the beach. (Short drive to each)

Comfortable for a weekend getaway

The rental was comfortable with a nice view from the patio. It has a nice, big bed and basic amenities (body wash, soap, coffee, fridge, microwave, hair dryer). The hosts were great at communicating, and the check in and parking were convenient. It was great for our purposes of having a home base while we spent most of our time out enjoying the city. Not very big, but we considered it a good value and would stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Jono Stevens

Host profile image
We love the mild coastal climate and endless activities offered by central California. The abundance of fresh healthy foods, fantastic wines, and beautiful coastlines remind us of how special this area is and how lucky we are to live here and visit here.

Why they chose this property

The Cabana is a perfect alternative to the common hotel. It has its own private entrance, views, a private patio with seating and shade, and all the same amenities as a hotel and then some. Free parking right in front of the house. Our guests love staying here and appreciate how centrally located the Cabana is, with easy access to beaches, restaurants, hiking, sightseeing and more.

What makes this property unique

We recently developed a private outdoor seating area and patio that has sweeping views. Its a great place to sip coffee in the morning or watch the sun set over the mountains at the end of the day.
