Santa Cruz Dome Airbnb Lets You Both Relax At The Beach And Hike

Airbnb

Are you looking to plan your next vacay but not sure whether you want to make it a hiking trip or a beach retreat? Then consider checking out this mushroom dome in the scenic town of Aptos, California that gives you access to both.

For $46 a night per person, you and two of your travel buddies can enjoy scenic hikes in the nearby forest of Nisene Marks State Park, a state park in California that contains over 40 miles of hiking trails. The dome Airbnb is also an eight-minute drive from some of Santa Cruz’s most iconic beaches so you can go for an intense hike in the morning and be a beach bum all afternoon to recover.

The dome itself is situated in the woods and the hosts own 10 acres of land around it, so you can gaze upon nature while you read a book or flip (veggie) burgers on the BBQ grill that’s located on the property’s beautiful deck. The cabin contains one spacious loft with a queen-size bed and a comfy couch that can be made into a bed for the third guest.

Here’s how to make this dream vacation a reality:

Depending on where you live in the United States, you’ll either want to drive or fly to the dome of your dreams. Since the property offers free parking on premises, if you choose to make a road trip out of this adventure, you won’t have to stress about finding parking once you get to Aptos. If it makes more sense for you to fly from your location, choose Monterey Regional Airport — the closest airport to your destination. Once you get to the airport, you can rent a car, take a taxi, Uber or Lyft for the remaining hour-long drive to the dome.
