About this property

Midtown Cabana with Scenic Patio Private Entrance

Summary:

Escape to the Midtown Cabana, a private Santa Cruz getaway perfect for 2 guests. This bright, airy studio features a King bed, mini-fridge, Keurig, microwave, and a private patio with stunning valley views. Ideal for a couple's retreat, business traveler, or solo trip, you're just a mile from downtown and the Boardwalk. Enjoy complete privacy with your own entrance in a location that blends nature with city life.



The Space:

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.

Key Features:

* **Sleeping Area:** A comfortable King-size bed ensures a restful night's sleep.

* **Living Space:** Relax in two cozy sitting chairs with lovely views of the trees and trails of the Pogonip hills right from your window.

* **Amenities:** For your convenience, the Cabana is equipped with a mini-fridge, microwave, and a Keurig coffee maker.

* **Bathroom:** The modern, sparkling clean bathroom features a walk-in shower.

* **Private Patio:** Step outside to your own private stone patio, furnished with a bistro table and chairs. It's the ideal spot to enjoy a cup of coffee, soak in the expansive valley views, and watch the sunset.

* **EV Charging:** Available by special request.



Guest Access:

Guests will have exclusive and private access to the entire cabana. This includes the main studio room, the en-suite bathroom, and the private outdoor stone patio. You will have your own private entrance, allowing you to come and go with ease and complete privacy throughout your stay. We live on the property in the main house, but it is unlikely you will ever see or hear us.



The Neighborhood:

Desirable mid-town banana belt offers abundant sunshine normally outside the fog line, with easy walking access to markets, restaurants and shops. The neighborhood is quiet and well established, with charming homes throughout. Please respect the quiet neighborhood and keep excessive noise and other disruptions to a minimum.



Getting Around:

Multiple bus lines pass 3 blocks away. Biking is convenient to get downtown or to the beach and Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. Uber and Lyft is also very convenient and are widely used around here . It's about a $7-$8 Uber ride to downtown or the Santa Cruz Boardwalk.



If you’d like to know how close a particular venue or location is to the cabana, shoot us a message and we’d be happy to give you a time and distance estimate.



Other Things to Note:

**Eco-Friendly Cleaning:** We are committed to providing a healthy and comfortable environment. For your peace of mind, we use only eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning products in the cabana.

**Views:** Enjoy beautiful views of the Pogonip hills and expansive valley sunsets directly from the property.

**Sustainability:** We are also fully powered by renewable energy from the sun!



Interaction with Guests:

We respect our guests' privacy but are happy to be available for any help or recommendations you might need. Our goal is to help make your stay in Santa Cruz memorable, so please don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The room was on a private property. It was very nice and very quiet. Our private patio had an amazing view that we enjoyed in the evening as the sun went down and in the morning as we had our coffee. Very clean and very comfortable. It had everything we needed.

Great location, very beautiful, safe and quiet neighborhood. The patio was wonderful to have some wine at sunset and coffee with the morning fog. The bed was comfortable, updated furnishings, nice view. The water and cookies were a sweet touch. The host, Jono, was very responsive to my messages and even brought ice and extra water. Check-out was a breeze and not much was required of us.

I balked a little at the price, but it *was* during July 4th weekend. But once we got there we forgot all about that - it was a lovely little slice of privacy that was close to the main city but felt like a little secret garden. We had dinner on the patio looking out at the hills awash in sunset and it was lightly magical. Would recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Jono Stevens

Host profile image
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.
