Place was clean, modern, and spacious. Everything u could need and views to die for. Pricy, but well-worth it for a family or friend getaway.

Incredible Views
The property was absolutely wonderful. Plenty of room to spread out. The pool was wonderful, as was the sauna and jacuzzi. It was close enough for the surfers to easily get to the beach and then return to the relaxing amenities at the house. We will definitely return!!!!

The most serene and beautiful property
Absolutely outstanding property. The views are so tranquil and the inside is so comfy and beautifully designed. Wish I can come back and not leave the place for the whole weekend! Highly recommend. The only bummer is we weren’t able to heat the pool but luckily the temperature was refreshing! Keep in mind- getting Ubers is a little difficult with the gate entry and spotty service outside the house. I wonder if there’s an easier way to go about doing that.
This property is as nice as the photos look. The pool and hot tub were a hit with the kids. The kitchen and bathrooms were better stocked than any other VRBO we’ve ever rented.

Relaxing Getaway
We had a lovely time. We really enjoyed the sauna and spa! The nightly view of the sunset and stars was epic! You really feel one with nature, yet you are a five minute drive to restaurants and stores. Everything in the home is high end. They have it all, amazing views, a beautiful kitchen, soft bedding and plenty towels! Any items from home I forgot were already there for us to use.

Our group had an amazing stay at Alpine Zen in Santa Cruz. The property is located in a quiet, private, wooded area about 10 minutes from downtown, and includes some great amenities: Sauna, Hot Tub, Pool, great outdoor seating, BBQ, chef's kitchen with awesome appliances. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with great beds and comfy sheets. The bathrooms are modern and clean.
We stayed for a weekend, and would gladly go back to this listing for any future trips - Convenient, Clean, Easy, and Relaxing.
