We spent a month at West Cliff Hideaway. The location is fantastic - 2 blocks from the ocean in a lovely neighborhood. We were able to walk to the Pier and Boardwalk from our front door every day. Seeing the waves and surfers never grew old. The host, Robin lives in the main house and was always available for anything we needed. We rarely saw her so we always felt like we had privacy. The apartment is above a large garage behind the house and is accessed by a private entrance and a flight of stairs. Very comfortable and a fully stocked kitchen made for a perfect stay. Thank you Robin for sharing your home in such a beautiful location!

Robin is the Best! She was genuinely concerned with my comfort and needs the property is beautiful located in a very private neighborhood of Santa Cruz easy access to everything Santa Cruz has to offer, and a wonderful, quiet, comfortable, nurturing place to come home to after a long day of adventure, and exploring I really look forward to coming back. Thanks Robin for making my stay so lovely.

We loved our stay at Robin’s cottage and she was an outstanding and wonderful host. Her place is lovely, quiet, clean, had everything we needed and is perfectly located for daily walks along the ocean and to amazing restaurants and cafes. We didn’t want to leave!
And Robin is an exceptional host. (Like she should teach a course on it.) She is warm, welcoming, accommodating and literally made us feel like her special guests (not just vrbo people staying on her property). She checked in to be sure we had what we needed, sent us weather updates, and gave us a heads up on a stunning full moon over the ocean and recommendations for where to view it with great food and drink.
We loved our stay and can’t wait to return. Thank you Robin! 🌴

This experience reminded me of how good a well-run vacation rental can be. It was so nice dealing with an actual person who takes excellent care of their place with lots of thoughtful touches to make my stay super comfortable and relaxing. The place is luxurious for a single/couple, and the futon in the living room was very solid and comfortable. Robin's place is like staying in a real house, with a patio and grill, located in one of the nicer areas in Santa Cruz. Walking distance (15-20 minutes) from lots of stuff and a quick drive from UCSC. Plenty of peace and quiet even with the windows open constantly.
5.0
This was likely our last visit to Santa Cruz, at least for now, to attend the UCSC graduation. The location was super, with a nearby shortcut to the beautiful West Cliff views, but close enough to campus to help our son pack up 4 years of stuff! Our host was amazing and even offered to fill the fridge when she learned our flight in was delayed.The home was clean and had everything we could need, including a lovely private courtyard that was the envy of my work Zoom meeting. If/when we return, this will be our spot!
5.0
Our business reserved this property for 3 months for a visiting scientist and they raved about Robin and her property. She was communicative, attentive, and a terrific host that went above and beyond. We will definitely reserve this spot again for long-term stays or business visits. Thanks Robin!

Robin was a lovely host and the property was a the perfect beach hide-away for a few days of rest. I walked two blocks to the most beautiful walk along West Cliff. Perfect stay!

Great Location and Host
This property was very comfortable and exactly as advertised. Robin was very helpful and accommodating. The location is superb. You can hear the crashing of the waves and the barking of the seals from the ocean a few blocked away. We walked and biked everywhere and found the Westside wineries and coffee shops great.

This was an adorable, comfortable apartment, centrally located to beaches, downtown and wineries, just as described on the site. Robyn was very easy to work with and very responsive. I highly recommend this place.

The property was exactly what we wanted/needed/expected. Since our plan was to be out and about during the length of our stay, coming back to a place that was clean, bright with sunshine with a wonderful breeze was amazing! I would suggest this location for all couples looking for a perfect space to call home while visiting Santa Cruz. We loved walking the neighborhood in the morning—both the beach and local coffee shop are a short walk away (coffee-7minutes; beach-under 5 minutes) The property manager, Robin, was everything we could hope for: responsive before our stay, easy to contact with any questions, made the check in process clear & easy, and was never seen but we felt comfortable knowing she was only a phone call away. We really did feel as if we had our own hideaway in Santa Cruz.

Loved to stay at Robin’s property. The flat is spotlessly clean in a quiet neighbourhood. It’s equipped with all you need for your vacation. Robin is a very kind and helpful host. I would recommend to stay at this little gem of a place to any of my friends and would rent it again myself any time. Thank you, Robin, for having us!

Great Place!
We spent a few nights in this rental. I chose this for the amenities and proximity to West Cliff Dr and the property delivered everything as advertised. I also appreciate a quiet place to rest and that is what we had. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again next time we're in the area. Thank you Robin!

West Cliff Hideaway was a wonderful place to relax away from our remodel! Close to the wonderful walking path on West Cliff; and no need to lift a finger - towels and bedding laundered for you is such a nice touch. Well equipped and quiet.

Wonderful spot to relax and enjoy
My sister and I had a wonderful Labor Day weekend at West Cliff Hideaway. The place was really nice and so quiet. The owner had everything ready for us. We were within walking distance to the beach and all the wonderful places to eat. We would definitely stay at West Cliff Hideaway again!!

Everything my family of four needed for our weekend in Santa Cruz.
Robin was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. The accommodations were exactly as advertised. Comfortable bed in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of the beach. We took full advantage of the kitchen and enjoyed the private patio. We didn't need to ask for anything. We will definitely be coming back.

Perfect Getaway
Our family of four had an amazing stay at Robin's West Cliff Hideaway. Staying here made our vacation so enjoyable. The location is perfect in a quiet, safe neighborhood with a beautiful short walk to the beach. The home is clean, well stocked, welcoming and comfortable. We plan on making this our spot every time we visit Santa Cruz.

All we could ask for and so much more...
Our recent visit to Santa Cruz for a rendezvous with family was one we will always remember. Our lovely West Cliff Hideaway was well equipped and offered a spectacular location to the bluffs, to the market, shopping and to many other popular attractions such as Anuo Nuevo to view the Elephant seals, Steamer's Lane for Paddlefest 2018 and the Santa Cruz pier and harbour for citing of sea lions and otters. Robin's warm welcome and attention to detail ensured we always had a restful place to relax with our family. A true Home away from Home. Thank you Robin.

Great location. Enjoyed so much, beautiful walks each day along West Cliff Drive to the Santa Cruz wharf. Spectacular views of the ocean. Robin did everything to make our stay very comfortable. No detail was left undone. Thank you for your hospitality and hope to stay again when we visit our son and his family.

Great vacation! My son and I needed a get away from the unpredictable weather in the east coast and this place fulfilled our needs. The pictures on the website does not do justice to the natural beauty of Santa Cruz CA. The views from West Cliff Drive are gorgeous and breath taking! and only two blocks away from where we stayed,. Robin was very accommodating and detailed orientated. My son stated he felt safe and comfortable staying in Robin's place. She had brochures and plenty of info of good places to eat. I recommend Emily's bakery and Burger. We made it out to San Francisco and went on a bike tour thru the Golden Gates bridge and into Sausalito. I highly recommend Blazing Saddles for their tour. Overall, we had a blast on the West Coast. Thank you Robin for making us feel like being home away from our real home in Jersey!

Nice accommodation with exceptionally comfortable bed. So much better than a hotel stay and best of all: no loud partiers or doors slamming as guests came and went. My only "complaint" was the internet connection was so slow and poor I was unable to use my laptop or I-pad for streaming or even posting to FB. (Robin, I forgot to mention this when we spoke. I doubt that it will keep me from booking in the future because all else was so great. I'll just know not to plan on being "connected" for the duration. Thanks for your kindness.)

Very clean, comfortable, private and safe. All the amenities are there and Robin is available if anything is needed. Perfect location for anyone who loves to walk, run or ride bikes along the ocean! Thanks for a great weekend getaway!
