About this property

Santa Cruz Redwoods Family-sized guest suite. Close to hiking & beach.

Come enjoy a getaway where you can experience the redwoods, the beach, The Boardwalk, and much more!

Make yourself at home in our spacious (895 sq. ft, deck excluded) and newly remodeled guest suite (studio plus bedroom). There is a kitchenette with a microwave and mini-fridge, and a dining room table to enjoy snacks, light meals, or takeout/delivery.

The deck looks out to the redwoods, where you can enjoy a morning coffee or a glass of wine al fresco.

The space
The path down to the guest suite is rustic, with log stairs. It is unpaved, woodsy, and not wheelchair accessible (see photos).

Hosts live on the floor above, but with the private entrance, coded door, and private living quarters, the guest suite is completely independent. That said, as with apartment living, you will likely hear the hosts upstairs from time to time, but we are conscientious of our noise when we have guests.

Guest access
The neighborhood is quiet and tucked away, yet close to everything by a short car ride. There is street parking available, usually on the cul-de-sac right in front of the unit.

Other things to note
The Wi-Fi is fast (Zoom-capable, 100Mbps business-class uplink, dedicated Wi-Fi network), there are Sonos speakers to play your own music, and you can Chromecast video to the T.V. No cable or broadcast TV is available.

Due to severe owner allergies, NO ANIMALS are allowed (including assistance animals, with exemption).

Great Stay

We loved our stay at the Santa Cruz Redwoods. Quiet location, clean, nice host, spacious living space and beautiful redwoods outside the window. We couldn’t ask for a better home away from home.

Indoor treehouse

Loved waking up to a view of the trees! Hosts gave very clear instructions to access the property and cookies were a welcome treat after a long drive. Location was very convenient to multiple hikes as well as downtown. Would definitely stay again.

Awesome stay in the redwoods!

Amazing weekend at the Redwood Apartment! The property is nestled into the forest and it was so peaceful and relaxing. The host provided fresh ground coffee, cookies and a handwritten note to welcome me (very nice personal touch). I will be back!

Lovely and quiet family-suite in a great location

Our family of four had a lovely stay at this guest suite, which is situated in a quiet neighbourhood. The house backs onto a redwood forest providing a peaceful backdrop. It is in a good location, less than 10 minutes to the beach or to various trailheads for redwood forest hikes. The host was excellent and attentive to our requests. The place was clean and the kitchen area met our needs during our week-plus stay. We would recommend this guest suite!

Great place!

Beautiful spot! Tucked in a lovely neighborhood with beautiful redwoods surrounding it. The space worked well for our family of 4 and was bigger than we expected. Communication with the host was great. We really appreciated the thoughtful extras- cookies from the local shop, beach chairs, beach towels, etc. Loved sipping nespresso on the deck looking out at the trees in the morning and hearing the owls at night.

Quick Trip to UCSC

My husband, son and I stayed at the Santa Cruz Redwoods property when we toured the UCSC campus. The location was close to the campus and close to the downtown area. The unit was clean and looked out to beautiful redwoods, just like the pictures. The host was very quick to respond to our questions. Overall we loved the location and enjoyed our stay. I like it better than staying in a hotel room because there is a lot more space, even though we didn't spend a lot of time in the unit it's nice to have the extra room.

Staying in the Redwoods

We had a wonderful stay at the property for an anniversary + Fathers Day weekend in Santa Cruz. A beautiful room with expensive views out onto the adjacent Redwood forest as the back yard as well as the open deck where the sunrise lights up the trees and foliage. Just amazing. It feels like your own private estate. Comfy bed, lots of room, Great seating area and an amazing tub / shower with the rainfall shower head. The location is convenient off of Hwy 17 - yet so setback that it is a quiet and tranquil. 5 minutes to get into town. Looking forward to staying again on our next trip to Santa Cruz.
