Airstream Glamping in Santa Cruz
Wow! Wow! Wow! Staying in Andy and Tricia’s Airstream was like slipping into a luxuriously creamy, steel-wrapped hug. From the moment we arrived for our daughter’s UCSC graduation, we felt completely taken care of. These hosts have truly thought of everything—from blackout curtains and cloud-soft bedding to eco-chic Turkish towels. After the long drive up from Los Angeles, the thoughtfully stocked snack hamper and fridge was a welcome sight. They even had spare toothbrushes for us when we realized we’d forgotten ours. The kitchen is brilliantly appointed while the fire pit setup is next-level, complete with a dome, retractable prongs, and a s’mores box that would make any scout proud. Morning Nespresso? Check. Yeti tumblers? Nesting and delightful. Wi-Fi? Fast and reliable. Forgot your charger? They’ve got a spare. But what really makes this place shine is the heart behind it: an intergenerational family on the property, full of warmth, stories, and local know-how. We bonded over bikes and globe-trotting, and swooned over the handmade pottery by Andy's mum Cathy, who lives just out back. The three dogs and tabby cat are charming scene-stealers, always nearby if you’re up for a cuddle—or happy to let you be. For parents visiting UCSC (or anyone craving a slice of seriously stylish, soulful glamping), this place is a gem. We didn’t want to leave—and already are daydreaming about our return.
