The house is very nice with a beautiful back yard; it’s well equipped, we had all we needed for a very enjoyable week; the house is nicely decorated and cozy; the beds are comfortable; the house was absolutely spotless; the neighborhood is quiet and safe. The hosting team responded very quickly when we had questions. The only one thing to make it even better: access to the washer and dryer. We will stay at this property again, we loved it!

We stayed for a month during a remodel at our home and found the place very comfortable and well equipped. It had everything we needed for a longer stay, and we felt right at home.

We were in town for UCSC commencement. The location was nice and quiet with an oasis of a backyard. Minimal traffic and neighbor sounds. The house is well maintained and had all the the amenities listed. It was a quick drive to Santa Cruz and Capitola with plenty of options in the area for shopping and eating. It was a very nice stay for a long weekend.

Thank you Kress for your 5-star review of the Live Oak Oasis. We are happy you found everything you needed in the home. Yes, this house is close to everything! Just this past week, the "Whale Bridge" opened up which connects the ocean side of Hwy 1 to the other side of Hwy 1-- meaning now, you can walk over the bridge to Moe's Alley-- an excellent place for live music. We hope to host you again!

House was great with a convenient location and beautiful backyard which was in full bloom while we were there.

Thank you, Janice, for staying at the Live Oak Oasis.. the flowers in the back yard in full bloom are incredible, aren't they? The purple iris's really make it superb! In a few weeks, the apple tree will have bright pink flowers on it.. so pretty! Thanks for your review!

Very clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed and instructions were very clear. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, and the back yard was especially beautiful. The towels and linens were high quality and the bed was very comfortable. The central location made it easy to get to anywhere in the Santa Cruz area. Excellent experience!

Thank you, Sandy, for your review. We are so glad you had everything you needed. The Purple Lux beds are top of the line-- as we want our guests to have a fantastic nights sleep-- does wonders for a great vacation! Come again soon!

The house was very clean and the management company was very responsive. The location was good and very close to the 101. The backyard was gorgeous. Do note though that it is on a busier street so getting out of the driveway was sometimes a bit of a challenge at times. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a very nice stay at Live Oak Oasis. The description and pictures were accurate and checking / communication all went very smoothly. We particularly liked the spacious interior with two comfortable lounging areas, dining table, kitchen counter seating and card table. The rear yard was spacious and beautiful - perfect for a morning coffee (just note that rear yard amenities were basic and monitored by security camera). The neighborhood was nice-suburban and an easy drive to Santa Cruz downtown, the coast, and mountains / hiking to the north. Overall a solid and reliable choice for a Santa Cruz area stay!

Nice place, would definitely stay here again. We had a hard time finding an airbnb in the area in our price range that wasn’t super small or an apartment, this house was great. Good central location right between capitola and sc and close to the beach. Kitchen had lots of stuff for cooking (but no dishwasher detergent or trash bags). Neighborhood was QUIET.

This was our first time out of home with our baby and we really enjoyed the stay. Although it was a little tough with the baby the first day, I was glad that the experience with check-in and the stay was very smooth. The backyard was really beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed the home.

I had a wonderful stay at this Santa Cruz house! The backyard was absolutely beautiful, providing a perfect space to relax and unwind. The property itself was impeccably clean and easy to access with the provided code. There was two parking spots available, which made our stay even more convenient. The location was fantastic, offering a great balance of tranquility and proximity to local attractions. The communication was excellent—any questions I had were answered quickly and thoroughly. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again! Thank you all so much again!

Great place. Very beautiful with a lovely backyard and plenty of shared spaces to hang out. Comparable to a hotel experience. Especially appreciated all the ice in the freezer! Whatever issues were listed in some of the previous reviews, they’ve definitely been resolved. Check in was smooth and the hosts were proactively communicating throughout my trip.
