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.

    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.

    The midtown cabana is great if you are looking for a more quiet place to stay in Santa Cruz. Although it is a little small, it has a very nice outdoor space that is private and a big, comfortable bed. The host was great and the location is close to several stores and restaurants. Highly recommend!

    Room was small, we had to move furniture around just to walk around the bed. No dresser or closet space for clothes, so had to live out of the suitcase the whole week. The towel ring had fallen off the wall before we got there, the wall was partially repaired, but no place to hang the hand towel. We had to ask for more towels and TP, it's like they didn't know we were going to be there all week. They didn't tell us they had a dog until the day before we arrived; therefore we couldn't get our money back or switch accommodations. I think having a dog on site should be in the listing. Constant road noise. Not a quiet place. Stains on the carpet. The fridge door drags on the carpet, so it doesn't open easily. It literally took two people to open the fridge. The patio was nice. The hosts were responsive. But not worth 200 a night, and definitely won't stay here again.

    I really loved the private feel of the room and patio. The space felt bright and pretty clean. I think it could use new carpeting as there were several stains. The shower is pretty bad (way too much pressure for a small shower) but the owner said that he is going to fix that soon. Loved the patio!

    I spent two nights here while my daughter was visiting a friend at UCSC and the stay was fantastic. Easy check in process, beautiful property, and very cozy rental. The bed was super comfortable and the sound of the rain on the roof was lovely. The view the next day and the sunset once the rain cleared was gorgeous. Also, the proximity to the store (Safeway) was great as I had to buy ice a couple of times (no freezer, just fyi). Not a big deal though. Hosts were friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be back! :)

We also got to see our first hummingbird whilst sitting on the terrace which was just magical. We visited Shadowbrook for dinner and UCSC Arboretum and Botannical gardens which were superb!
