Enjoy complete privacy with your own entrance in a location that blends nature with city life.

Step into your private cabana, a bright and airy space designed for comfort and relaxation as your home-base in Santa Cruz. The room is defined by its high, white vaulted ceiling, creating an open and inviting atmosphere.

We truly enjoyed our stay. Parking was a breeze, room was clean, Hudson was friendly. Great open deck for viewing, playing cards, and lounging. Quick responses from owners. Conveniently located to downtown and beach/boardwalk. Highly recommend
This property was perfect for my 2-day getaway to unplug, enjoy some quiet time, and get some work done. The room was very clean and cozy with a super comfortable bed and great TV options as well!

Frankie, this is exactly what we love to hear. The Cabana really is such a great little spot to unplug and reset, so I’m glad it gave you the quiet space you were looking for — and that the bed and TV setup made it easy to relax when you were off the clock. Thanks as well for calling out the cleanliness and communication — that means a lot to our team.
We’d love to host you again anytime you need another quick reset.
Jono & Keri
This is our second stay at the Midtown Cabana with Jono snd Keri hosting. I hope a returned trip speaks volumes. The place is perfectly located, super clean and the patio is gorgeous. Easy to say we would stay here again, because we have!
This spot is in a nice neighborhood, on a quiet street, the room is clean and comfortable, and has a nice view. I had a great experience! The hosts were kind, attentive, and easy to communicate with. Loved it! Also, if you're looking for a casual night out, Upper Crust Pizza is down to earth with good food, and Penny's ice-cream with the burnt marshmallow topping is amazing!
easy in & out- the only thing to be aware of is that there's a lot of noise from the highway, so if you're a light sleeper you'll need to have the windows closed. other than that, it was great! especially the enormous and very comfortable bed.
Our short stay was wonderful. The place is comfortable and charming. The patio has an amazing view and is perfect for relaxing. Communication with our hosts was easy. Thank you!
Host was welcoming and took care of a problem immediately. I’d like to suggest more hooks be installed in the bathroom and to provide non-flavored creamer for coffee as well. A nice touch, also, is the host’s own booklet of suggestions for dining, etc.
We love the great location with excellent restaurants within walking distance, the comfortable bed with an amazing view, and private patio to relax looking at that view!
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.
