About Robin
I have lived all over Santa Cruz County since the mid 70s and there is no better place to be than on the Westside! I have worked in the local medical community and enjoy the healthy outdoor activities that our lovely town has to offer. My son, who was raised here, loves to come home and go surfing, spend some time refueling at the El Palomar Taco Bar, and take in a movie or enjoy local music or live theater. There is no end to the combination of perfect days you can create with all Santa Cruz has to offer you!
Robin purchased this apartment in 2011
Why Robin chose Santa Cruz
West Cliff Hideaway is in the best location in town. Just off West Cliff Drive yet tucked upstairs in a detached unit behind the main house, protected and quiet. If you wish for privacy but want the convenience of being in the middle of where it is all happening, this spot is for you. You don't have to venture far from the neighborhood to sample a wide variety of what Santa Cruz has to offer. Plus, the Westside get the best weather in town right here!
What makes this apartment unique
Bike to the Westside Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings. Go for a walk along West Cliff Drive, maybe walk or bike to the wharf for breakfast or lunch, or to Kelly's Bakery! Watch the surfers at 'The Lane' near the Lighthouse on the way home. Go to the beach! (it is a 5 minute walk from here!). See an exhibit at the Seymour Marine Discovery Center! Go check out the Arboretum at UCSC! Ride your bike to Wilder Ranch! Take in the world renowned Monterey Bay Aquarium only 45 min drive from here! Do some winetasting while shopping for fresh local produce. Retreat to your quiet, private spot for some much needed rest. Enjoy reading while sipping locally crafted wine in the private patio and either have dinner in (BBQ on patio or tasty local take-out) or enjoy any one of almost too many restaurants to list in town just minutes from here. Live theater year round in theaters around the town. Live music all the time! So many movie theaters and bookstores. And sometimes it is just perfect to relax and do what we never let ourselves do...NOTHING!

Charming Westside apartment
While visiting my daughter and her family in early December, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at West Cliff Hideaway! I was within walking distance of my daughter's house, but was able to have my own "space". And what a space it was! The apartment was attractive and well furnished, the bedding was comfortable and there was a cozy sitting area. The kitchen was well-equipted and the washer and dryer were conveniently located. West Cliff Hideaway is in a lovely setting and feels quite private, yet is close to beautiful West Cliff Drive and not far from the downtown area with shops and restaurants. One of my favorite ways to start the day (or end the day) was a walk along West Cliff Drive where the scenery is truly spectacular!
Robin and Bill were great...so friendly, helpful and accommodating! I look forward to returning to West Cliff Hideaway!
Great location! 2 blocks from the beach (West Cliff)
The property was very clean and inviting and had everything we needed to a fun weekend away. The beach was just 2 blocks away and it's a really perfect location for morning/evening/whenever walks to the beach.
Fabulous location and beautiful home!
We had such a lovely time staying at the west cliff hideaway. It was just my husband and two little ones (age 7 and 4) and it was a perfect spot for us. The home was so clean and well kept, it had every thing we needed and more. Robin (the owner) was amazing, so friendly, helpful and accommodating. We traveled over Labor Day weekend and we were afraid it would be so crowded, but this home and surrounding area was quiet and not crowded at all. It felt like we were locals. Will definitely be back!
Robin has done a super job creating a welcoming and very pleasant home away from home.
We enjoyed our stay at West Cliff Hideaway! It is very clean and well appointed. The bed is very comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked. The location is great with very good restaurants within walking distance and the ocean just two short blocks away. Robin was very attentive to our needs. We will definitely stay there any time we are in Santa Cruz.
Such a gem!
We so enjoyed our stay! The set up was just right for what we needed. Cozy living room, good-sized & well stocked kitchen, perfect room, & medium/large sized bathroom. Very clean living space. Everything that you may need is there. Everything is exactly as the property site states. Robin was great in working with us! Nice short walk to the beach. Good location, nice quiet neighborhood, & parking space on front street. We definitely will stay here again. So happy that we discovered this gem! We are recommending this place to our family & friends.
Very comfortable and well maintained apartment 1 block from the cliffs!
We stayed at West Cliff Hideaway for a little over a week and a half -- myself, my husband, and our 2 children ages 4 and 6. The apartment was perfect: clean and well maintained, short walking distance from the cliffs. The futon and the bed are very comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked with a variety of cooking utensils, dishes, etc. There are several large beach towels and even a beach umbrella for guests to use. We will definitely stay here on future trips to Santa Cruz! Robin is a friendly and responsive host -- readily available and easy to contact by phone or text.
