Easy, convenient camping in comfort!
My grown daughter and I loved the glamping with beautiful view and wildlife sightings. Rob provided all the necessities and we cooked, and enjoyed a fire. Bed was very comfortable and site was well lit at night. Close to Aptos and Capitola and easy to get away without packing a lot of stuff!

Amazing Hospitality but Inaccurate Description
Hey! I recently stayed at the Glamping Wetlands Overlook in Watsonville. It was located on a beautiful piece of land that had apple trees, lemon trees, sunflowers and many other beautiful plants. The glamping tent looked over some beautiful wetlands. My only complaint is that on the VRBO app it is listed as a 2 bed 1 bath tent with multiple pictures of beds but it is a 1 bed with mats and sleeping bags provided. Rob had amazing hospitality and the camping site was clean and tidy and everything was provided. I would highly recommend this vacation rental.

Anniversary Weekend
This weekend was certainly one to remember. When we arrived, Rob came out to greet us and helped us carry our things to the tent. It was more spacious than you might think, and my partner who is over 6ft was able to easily stand up straight.
While we were putting our things away, Rob built us a fire and made sure to point out a small gift that him and his wife wanted to give us for our anniversary. The gesture was incredibly thoughtful and made our night.
The next morning, Rob brought us a French press and some oat milk to enjoy while we watched the local wildlife come to life as the fog lifted over the wetlands. Because of all of the flowers near the tent, a few bees and hummingbirds made their morning rounds collecting pollen and nectar just a few feet away from us. It felt pretty magical!
It was a beautiful place to stay and made coming back after a long day of adventuring all that much more exciting.
Our only regret is not getting a chance to try the solar shower! We're excited to make another trip out soon to enjoy the views and ambiance.

Great glamping experience.
Rob was an amazing host! He made sure that we liked the spot before anything else and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable on his grounds. The kind gesture of a bottle of wine and a good cup of coffee in the morning really added to the glamping experience.
The tent was comfortable! Rob made sure to heat it up before we came and offered to make us a fire pit. The view in the morning was amazing and we could lay on that patio all day and fall asleep! We also had a grand time chatting in the evening in the wilderness.
Would highly recommend Rob’s spot! Thank you Rob for giving us a great first glamping experience!
