Santa Cruz

I'll be visiting for a few days at the end of the month. Staying up in Scott's Valley in the trees. I'd love to find a little cottage or cabin to rent for a whole month but not having much luck. I honestly can't cough up $3K+ for a rental...

1. Try Felton, Brookdale, Boulder Creek..

Along highway 9, nearby but cheaper. Do you have a car or other transportation?

[PasadenaTrudy]

2. Yes!

I'm driving up. I did look into Felton, I'll check out those others too.

Thanks NY!

3. I just got a place in Aptos...

But it's not ready to rent quite yet.

Do you need to be nearer to Scott's Valley?

[PasadenaTrudy]

4. No

Aptos and Soquel are great too. I just love that part of CA. I want to take, eventually, a month-long break from Los Angeles. For my sanity, lol. I love the mountains and the sea. Used to visit Santa Cruz back in the 1980s...

7. Rio Del Mar

1 bedroom ~small but full ocean view from Monterey to Santa Cruz.

5. Santa Cruz has a good hostel.

So does Monterey. There are also two lighthouse hostels north of Santa Cruz.

6. No can do

I'm 50 and need lots of space! That's partly why I want to get out of L.A. Hard enough living with the boyfriend, sometimes, lol! I'm a quiet, introvert, and sharing my space is not easy

9. Try camping. Some campgrounds have yurts and cabins for rent for a

fraction of what you usually pay for vacation rentals.

10. I don't camp

but a yurt or cabin could work. Thanks!

12. You have to supply your own stuff like bedding and cooking supplies if

you want to cook. Used to be a lot of state run camping grounds had those kind of accommodations. I'm sure there is plenty of of information on line.

11. Have fun Trudy! Beautiful area.

Hope you find a place that works for a month get away.

14. Thank you

Something will fall into place someday, I'll keep at it. I need breaks from the big city and the heat especially. I'm a NorCal girl at heart I think. I lived for two years in the Trinity mountains up by Hyampom in the '70s and fell in love.
