Beautiful retreat
A cozy and charming room in a beautiful home with friendly and accommodating hosts.
The property was exactly as described and pictured on the website.
My only disappointment was that access to the property was via a one-lane mountain road which, as a single senior female, was somewhat intimidating and I had a sense of isolation. It would have been helpful to know about that.

Quick Getaway
Lovely property with gorgeous view of the ocean. Quiet neighborhood tucked up into the hills. It was perfectly located so we could go to Capitola, Santa Cruz, and Aptos beach easily. Eager outdoor kitty who wants to hangout which was fun for my daughter. Complimentary bottle of their estate wine which was excellent.

The great escape
This property is such a hidden gem. Gorgeous view of the ocean, vineyard and treetops.
The landscaping is welcoming and I laid on the grass staring up at the sky for a while just enjoying the weather and peace.
We used the pool and hot tub both days. They are wonderful.
The owners were on site, helpful and kind. They left a complimentary bottle of wine which we enjoyed.
We loved the cat that came over to us when we ate on the porch.
Pro-tip: Soul Salad is a great spot to eat, we loved it.

Our daughters wedding weekend
Although we didn’t meet Judy, she was a joy to communicate with via email. Her husband Peter was delight to chat with.
A lively bedroom , bathroom , kitchenette space with all the amenities you need - and even a bottle of wine to welcome us. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to relax and enjoy the property and the pool as we were out and about at our daughters wedding all weekend. We would love to come back again for a relaxing visit to enjoy the area. THANK YOU!

A Wonderful, Relaxing Stay
My friend and I had a most enjoyable stay. The property is beautiful - pretty landscaping, a thriving small vineyard and an enclosed swimming pool, sauna and spa which helped us feel quite pampered. The view over the ocean in the distance enticed us to have more than one picnic on our verandah. The property is situated close to Capitola and downtown Santa Cruz, yet has a tranquil feel all its own. Judy is the perfect host (available and welcoming yet respectful of our privacy) and the complimentary wine was so good we bought a second bottle (and should have brought home more). Looking forward to a return visit!

Awesome getaway
Tranquil and restful place to go, owners are very kind and very hospitable, would definitely come here again.
Beautiful quiet clean cottage with all the amenities for a close to home getaway. Our host Judy provided excellent communication down to the step-by-step directions that were super helpful. My husband enjoyed chatting with Judy’s husband, I believe his name was Peter, but for the most part our hosts left us alone and we felt like we had the whole vineyard to ourselves! We loved Beau the cat and seeing bucks and deer casually eating on the grass in front of the porch. The sauna and hot tub were wonderful; however, we found the pool to cold to swim. We later found out it is heated by solar panels so temp is dependent on weather. Totally understandable but a letdown as that the indoor pool was a main factor for me to be able to swim. Next time I will plan on a month with warmer weather. Other than that, I highly recommend Pacific Oaks Vineyard Estate!

My go to serene getaway
This lovely sunny spot is now my go to get away besides Ashland and Mt. Shasta. Nestled at the top of a Redwood mountain with a view of Monterey Bay and a beautiful indoor pool hot tub and sauna practically all to ourselves. And Santa Cruz and all sorts of beautiful beaches are a short drive away! I’ve done this trip with my teenage daughter and this recent one with a girlfriend. It’s always so serene and extraordinarily beautiful. My next stay here might just be a solo Spa, meditation and writing retreat. Love this place. And Judy the host is so down to earth and thoughtful.

More than we expected
My husband and I had a wonderful, quiet and peaceful stay. We loved watching a deer and her fawn grazing with no fear of us being close by as we drank our coffee in the sunroom and later on the deck. We were also able to enjoy the pool and hot tub by ourselves. The stay was perfect and we will be coming back again to stay longer in the future.

Lovely spot! My 16 yr old daughter and I really enjoyed staying in the Vineyard guest room. We loved the 24 hr p/day access to the indoor pool and hot tub. I especially loved the sauna. And we definitely appreciated the sun porch and the ocean view! And Beau, Judy’s adorable cat adopted my daughter while we were there. Sweet experience. We will be back for sure!

Honey and secluded
Host gave immaculate directions to property, we still got lost initially so slow down and pay attention. We were greeted by the friendly family cat and saw Deer on arrival! Enjoyed the seclusion. Bedding was crisp but poured a drink into a glass and found the dishware to be a bit dusty. Met the owner briefly. She seemed a very nice lady and promptly left us to enjoy the pool house amenities. Water was freezing! Made use of the sauna and hot tub. Maybe if we rebook in the summer we can swim. Host also sent back a forgotten sweater in no time at all. Over all a relaxing stay and a great way for a couple of adult city kids defrag.
Thanks Judy!
