Santa Cruz Holiday Houses

Do you love last minute road trips and late-night food runs and sunrises on the beach? Do words like “schedule” and “calendar” make you shout, “Don’t box me in!”? You might be a little bit of a rebel. But you’re a rebel with a cause: having a smashing holiday. Itinerary? What’s that? Our Santa Cruz vacation homes are the perfect way for you to wing it.

Holiday houses in Santa Cruz let you live life on your own terms. You’ll have so much space, you’ll wish you had more friends and family—but you can always invite over the neighbours. You can often have luxury amenities, but with all the attractions of Santa Cruz in your backyard, budget holiday homes will do just fine, too. That will just leave you more dough to spend on the important things: cocktails, brunch, and local Santa Cruz adventures, obvs.

If your adventure buddy happens to have fur and four legs, you just might find a pet-friendly holiday house in Santa Cruz with your name on it.

No need to spend big bickies for a holiday beach house the size of Buckingham Palace—unless you’re really in trouble with bae. We’ve got a great selection of Santa Cruz vacation homes with everything you need for a seriously amazing getaway. Throw out that daily planner and hit “reject” on all those meeting invites. You’re off to a place where there are no rules.
