Perfect Oasis on a Hill

Beautiful place for a quiet group that loves to cook, eat, and lounge around. The kitchen was really well appointed for cooking for a group. The pool and poolside was very relaxing with a gorgeous view. The theater was an added treat and the beds were super comfy. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

Amazing home!

We stayed just 3 nights and didn’t want to leave! We’ve experienced multiple vacation rentals over the years, but this was by far one of the best. Matt (the owner) and his team were perfect to work with. Thanks again, Matt. -Joe

What a great property overlooking the bay. Quiet place with privacy. Deer in the backyard at night. The pool and spa were great. We really enjoyed the theater and fully used the kitchen and pool table and corn hole. Will definitely stay here again!

An amazing place for friends and family to gather

We had a truly wonderful time and are so grateful to have had such a beautiful place to enjoy being together. We all enjoyed the the gorgeous view of the Monterey Bay, the peaceful nature, the pool, the hot tub, the terrace, and all the rooms. The property manager Jay was extremely responsive and very helpful with all our questions. Even though up in the hills, the location is really convenient and close to town and beaches.

Amazing property, secluded but minutes from everything

The property itself is gorgeous, huge and very well cared for. Matt, does an amazing job of keeping it clean and has everything you need. Anything you need or have a question about is dealt with in literally minutes, which was pretty awesome. Pool - great size, epic view. Theater room - awesome, and an experience in itself Bedrooms - beautiful and roomy Kitchen - big and has everything you need Rest of the house - all parts are awesome For sure would rent again.

Beyond perfect!

Our group of 9 were speechless the whole stay it seemed. This Villa was better than we imagined. We thought we'd be going to the beach and into town etc. but we stayed on the property the entire. time and were thoroughly entertained. The owner Matt is a gem of man - not just a good manager but good person. He was so helpful, we almost invited him to dinner! Anyway, this was a retreat me and my friends will never forget.

Exceptional property and great host

Hidden Villa is the best among VRBO properties we’ve stayed at. From the layout of living spaces and details of decorations, it is obvious the owner had put a lot of heart into designing, building and maintaining the house. All bedrooms are well appointed and have en-suite bathrooms. The beds and bedding are very comfortable. The 8-seat home theater have professional quality sound and screens (as an imaging engineer, I especially appreciate the excellent image quality of the projection system), as well as is its own bathroom. The view from the house and from the outdoor spa are spatacular. On a sunny day I highly recommend having lunch out on the very spacious patio. The owners provided outdoor heaters so it’s quite comfortable eating out even during our December visit. Matt (the owner) checked us in and he was exceptionally kind and hospitable. Jay the property manager was helpful all the way, always answering questions promptly before, during, and after our trip. We would definitely come back for the next family reunion.

Comfortable, spacious and peaceful accommodations, for a family wedding at the Shadowbrook Restaurant. Matt is an attentive host who wants your stay to be the best experience. Soquel Villa is a close drive to amenities. The setting and views are a 10, just gorgeous! Wonderful to wake up to and go to sleep. If relaxation and serenity are your thing then Soquel Villa is your place.

This house and location is absolutely stunning! We have rented many homes globally and this was our favorite. Perfect for a large group/couple of families to relax, all dine together, all hang by the pool, etc... We had such a blast each night in the theatre room singing karaoke (machine not included). Check in was easy and Matt explained all the workings very well. Hosts were very responsive and accommodating. House décor and amenities were excellent. Its very secluded up in hills but easy to get to the freeway. Highly recommend :-)

We held our small business group offsite retreat here. The house provided a unique and beautiful setting for memorable team bonding and motivation. The views from the jacuzzi, infinity pool and yard were awe-inspiring. The house was impeccably clean and well-maintained.
