Great unique place

Property was very nice and unique. The extra back patio made that overlooked the area mad it special to enjoy a glass of wine and some snacks, or a cup of coffee. And, it was very quiet.

Deck is nice

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.

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)

Nice and relaxing

My husband and I stayed here for one night after staying in a few different hotels and were so happy with the change of pace with an easy check-in, our own little patio, and a beautiful view. Close to downtown Santa Cruz and the wharf in a nice neighborhood. We would stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Jono Stevens

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.
