About this property

Savasana Surfer's Retreat

  • A simple and cozy abode for couple's getaway, outdoor enthusiasts, or solo travelers. Tucked away in a residential cul-de-sac with easy access to the harbor and local beaches via 2 complimentary beach cruisers.

    Completed with a semi-outdoor restroom and hammock, the Savasana Surfer's Retreat is a great alternative for a relaxing and cost-effective way to stay in Santa Cruz!

    The space

    The Savasana has been hosting guests with a super host status for 6+ years. 4.89 rating with 368 reviews. We would love to welcome you using this new platform (:

    BOHO 10'x12' studio with expansive deck to soak up the sun, nap or read a book in the hammock with a beer/wine in hand. The cozy and comfortable loft bed will certainly make you feel rejuvenated for more adventures! The studio has it's own private entrance and rests behind the main house in a residential cul-de-sac.

    Savasana studio is perfect throughout Spring, Summer and Fall, however, due to the outdoor-focused setting, bathroom trips during cold winter nights are not for the faint of heart. Bring warm jammies!

    Nestled in Live Oak, the studio is off the beaten path but is easily accessible to all Santa Cruz has to offer. An easy ride with the complimentary beach cruisers to Sunny Cove beach, Yacht Harbor, Sunday Farmer's Market, and many local cafe and restaurants!

    Plenty of street parking and privacy.

    The studio has a fridge, a coffee maker and other basics to make coffee and tea, however it is not set up for major cooking. There is a camping stove, sink, and some cookware. If camp style cooking isn't for you we suggest trying out many amazing places near by! Door dash and Ubereats deliver as well.

The location is terrific. It's located in a very quiet cul de sac. The place was more of a small cottage. The furnishings and amenities were nice. The loft bed was very comfortable, but be prepared to climb a ladder and sleep under a low ceiling. The bathroom is outside and not attached to the room. Also the outside tub is very tall. I enjoyed the place but I wouldn't recommend it for anyone with physical limitations.

Super neat cozy pad. The hosts are friendly, responsive and helpful. FWI it’s a loft bed that has a solid ladder and plenty of hand holds but just a reminder for those not able or willing to access such.

Host is kind and communicative. Some of the furniture had a weird musty smell but the bedding was fine.

What an incredible stay! The thoughtfulness and kindness of the Hernandez’s cannot be overstated. The property is just as described, adorable and perfect for a couple. This was a special elopement trip for my *new* husband and I and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Michelle was an absolute gem and left such a positive mark on our experience. Be sure to bring warm pajamas if staying here in the cooler months, but what a treat! Such great location too, so close to all of the things we wanted to do!
