What people are saying about the 25th Beach Retreat
“Had an absolutely incredible stay here! From the moment we arrived, the host made us feel less like guests and more like family visiting their beautiful beach home. Communication was flawless, instructions were crystal clear, and every little detail was thoughtfully taken care of.
The house itself was spotless, cozy, welcoming, and somehow even better than the photos. And the location? Unreal! The beach is literally just steps away — close enough that you can casually debate whether shoes are even necessary.
What really stood out were the amenities. They had everything you could possibly need for a perfect beach day already waiting for us, which made the whole experience feel effortless and relaxing.
It’s rare to find a place that is both stunning and genuinely warm, but this home absolutely nailed it. We left with amazing memories and honestly didn’t want to go home.
Do not hesitate to book this place — future you will be very grateful. We’re already hoping to come back someday!

“This house was beautiful and perfectly located. It had literally everything you need for a home away from home. We will be rebooking this home year after year!”
— Kristin
“This was the best Airbnb my family of four has ever stayed at. Christina is very responsive. Communication was a non issue. CheckIn and Checkout was seamless. The home was spotless and there are so many spaces to enjoy. What impressed me most is this home is fully stocked! From the kitchen to Beach gear, bedroom linens to board games. You will be comfortable and entertained. Santa Cruz is a beautiful place to explore and the Christina’s 25th Beach Retreat offers the best home base. We made so many new memories here and we hope to stay here again!”

“We just came home from a wonderful time at Christina's beach house! The house is fantastic -- lots of room for us all to spread out between the two floors, but still welcoming and cozy with great communal hangout areas. The teens enjoyed taking over the downstairs area. All areas were well-stocked, including kitchen, garage with beach items, closets with towels and extra linens, blankets in baskets, etc. The backyard was very cute and we enjoyed the hot tub and sofa hangout area. Very cute beachy decor everywhere as well, but still plenty of space to have your own things around. The street is cute too, and the local beach is a quick walk down a flight of stairs (on 26th) or along the road (no stairs, so good for strollers). Comfy beds all around too! We really enjoyed our time there and hope to return soon!”
