Recent Santa Cruz County vacation rental reviews

Ben Lomond is a small and lovely spot in the Santa Cruz mts. The house has plenty of amenities and is tucked among the redwoods. Plenty of fabulous hiking nearby. Very quiet.
Rani M. | Nov 2024
The location of this home is perfectly placed in walking distance to the santa cruz beach boardwalk, and the restaurants and downtown area! The home included everything needed for our stay and was very clean.
Rodrigo M. | Nov 2024
Our expectation's were exceeded upon arrival and our stay was comfortable and restorative, because of the wonderful attention to detail, ease of check-in, and alas, departure. The close proximity to Felton, Ben Lomond & Santa Cruz was a treat, and traveling to destinations further south was straightforward . Thank you for the hospitality, we are anticipating our return to the serene environs of the Redwood Oasis in the near future! Warm regards, Tom & Denice B.
